Really fits newborns and toddlers!

2008-08-15
My husband put this thing together while I was pregnant with my second child. My first son, who was three at the time, enjoyed sitting and relaxing in this rocker. Then his baby brother came along, we added the toy bar, and voila - instant chair for baby! He has used this thing from newborn to now, at eight months old. He's still entertained by the toys and loves the chicken rattle. This is a lightweight chair and it doesn't take up much room. The baby likes to sit in it to drink his bottle, and when he's not using it, his other brother takes it over. Definitely worth the money!

Excellent product and long battery life

Our baby loves this thing and he sleeps, well, like a baby in it. I am surprised how long one alkaline D-cell will last. We have the vibration on several hours each day and one battery lasts about two weeks.

Works great!

Bought this for my newborn great-niece. Her parents say that she is very happy in it and they have worn out the battery for the vibration. The chair seems well constructed and they are looking forward to when they can convert it to a rocker. It is very cute and cheery. I would recommend this item.

This Rocker saved me many sleepless nights

I've had this rocker since my baby has been 1 month old. She slept in it from 1-7 months. At seven months we started making her sleep in her crib. She does still sleeps in this rocker when she is sick.

Good idea, poor execution

Our triplets are now 12 weeks old and we have been using this seat since they were about 4 weeks old. I was impressed initially as the seat went togehter easily and was cute with it's attached toys and bright colors. It seemed like the perfect product for our family as our 20 month old daughter also loved to sit in it, whether in the infant or toddler position. The first dissapointments I had with this chair were finding that there was another whole seating position to use for newborns that laid the seat flatter but since I hadn't noticed earlier I chalked it up to my post-partum haze (however I had read the instructions putting it together and couldn't find that this step was outlined there), and also that it doesn't rock smoothly or easily. A couple of weeks ago we realized that there are sharp corners not covered by the seat cover (elbow bends the striped hood attaches to) that poke the kids' heads when they slump to one side. We have to put a recieving blanket over the sides otherwise they wake up screaming, no doubt with a headache. The final issue that prompted me to write a review is that over the weekend one of the kids had a blow-out in the chair which prompted us to wash the seat cover. My husband washed it according to the tag instructions (cold water, dry low heat) and the seat is now ruined because the nylon tether in the back shrank and caused the cardboard back to buckle outwards. My advice, buy a regular bouncy seat; they're so much cheaper and easier for the babies to self-operate. This product was not worth anything near what we paid for it, and after just three months, is now useless.

Intelligent Way to Design a Baby Product

The Newborn to Toddler Portable Rocker starts as a newborn seat or rocker with a low-profile position for a safe place to put newborns. With the softgoods recline, mom or dad can position baby for sleeping or for play. A removable toy bar arm provides two repositionable toys to entertain baby - a musical puppy and a kitty with a spinning ball of yarn. Both reward baby for bat-at play. There is even a cute birdie that stands on a biscuit on the side of the rocker and detaches for take-along play.

As baby becomes a toddler, the toy arm can be removed and the rocker supports extend to a higher position, allowing toddlers to have both a stationary seat and a rocker. The rocker also provides great on-the-go convenience -- just fold and compress it down for portability and using the struts as a handle. Weight capacity is 40 pounds. Measures 24"H x 17"W x 24"D.

FAB!!

I love this chair. It's probably one of the cheaper ones around and very functional. My daughter has been using this since she was 3 months or less and loves it! She eats, sleeps and loves to sit in it. Now, that she is about 23 pounds, she can easily invert the chair and get out of it as well.. which is where the chair legs come into play. None of the other bouncers have this feature and so cannot be used once the baby starts to sit up since they can easily topple over if they bent forward. Also, it's pretty light and can be folded when not in use or for travel.

Wonderful Chair

2008-03-11
We knew as this was our 2nd child, to get a chair they wouldn't grow out of. By default we got this since we didn't have much of a choice where we shopped. It was an awesome find by accident.

I love this chair because it does what we want, vibrates, straps in, reclines and sits up. This is all good for my newborn. What I didn't know until I got it home was that it rocks for your at-your-feet-nights, but it also stops rocking with stands if you want to place it on the counter at eye level.
The other handy thing is the toy bar. It swivels so you can get the baby out from where ever you are. At first I thought the canopy would move over his head more, but it is stationary. NO WORRIES, that toy bar serves me well in that area. In my sunny living room, when the baby falls asleep in there, I just take a blanket and cover the chair. The bar keeps the blanket FAR away from his face and blocks the sun perfectly.
Finally, it only takes 1 D battery for the vibration. I have had it on for HOURS every day for the last 6 weeks and I have only changed it one time.
Note: my older son did spill apple juice on it and you do have to disassemble to wash it.

A great overall product!

My son outgrew his bouncer (which he loved to spend time in) so my wife and I were looking for something we could replace it with. My wife searched and found the Fisher-Price Newborn-To-Toddler Rocker and it was a perfect match. It perfectly replaced the bouncer and could also convert to a chair as he grows. An excellent product! Well built and safe. Also a big factor - very easy to assemble. As the dad, my job is to assemble all the products for my son - my wife was so excited about the product that she assembled it as soon as it arrived. She did an excellent job!

Is it travel friendly?

Mine is not a review but a question

I need some thing portable for my son 1 month old. He uses swing in home, but soon we will be away from home for a month, I am looking for a portable bouncer/rocker with can be easily packed for travel.

After assembling will I be able to disassemble?

Thanks in anticipation of response
