Infantino Fold and Go Bouncer, Metro

Customer Reviews

Pretty great chair, but not really a bouncer, 2010-08-05
As a self-proclaimed "minimalist" parent, I appreciated the Fold and Go's simplistic and stylish design. It really does fold nicely, and I've put the cover through the wash several times (not through the dryer!) and it still looks brand new. It's true that it doesn't actually bounce (at least not for little ones), but the vibration is nice. I rarely use the nature sounds (wind, rushing water, and a heartbeat) and I have only heard the music option by accident. My finicky daughter dislikes her swing, but loves this vibrating chair and cries when it turns off after 20 minutes. Recommended for any parent who has an easily overstimulated little one.

Fun and Compact Bouncer, 2010-06-07
I have been selected to review Infantino products, via Mom Central.
One baby item that can be so helpful is a bouncy seat. My main complaint about many bouncy seats is that they are too heavy or cumbersome. I have four children and live in a smaller home, where space is at a premium. I was thrilled to receive the Infantino Fold and Go Bouncer, as it exceeded my expectations in many ways. It is very compact, and is easy to bring along on a trip or to stow in a closet, when it isn't needed.
I also love how easy it is to remove the cover, to slip it into the washing machine. After just a day or two of testing the bouncer, my daughter had a leaky diaper, so I was able to test how easy the stains wash out of the cover's fabric. It looks as good as new and I was thankful that it was such a cinch to remove the cover.
The bouncer plays three melodies, vibrates, and makes 2 nature sounds. My daughter really enjoys sitting in the cozy seat, and has fallen asleep in it, quite a few times.
I highly recommend this product and will be recommending it to my friends!

Perfect for use in a small home, 2010-06-03
When my kids were infants we had bouncy seats and swings that took up way too much floor space in our living room and that could not be stored away easily. I wish I'd had this Fold & Go Bouncer back then! This thing is another one of those brilliant "why did no one think of this sooner!" ideas. It's a fabulous bouncy seat for your baby, complete with hanging toys and vibrating seat, along with music and heartbeat or nature sounds. It even has a volume control. Very nice, with all the things that help soothe a fussy baby. BUT- the genius of this chair is that, with a couple of simple slides of buttons, the chair collapses and can be stashed away in the corner of a room or a closet or wherever. And, don't worry, the buttons would be hard to manage accidentally or for a child to do, so you don't have to worry about your toddler collapsing the chair while the baby is sitting in it.

The only minor thing that I wasn't crazy about was that the toy bar comes unsnapped from the seat pretty easily. That's only any issue if your baby is a little older and is capable of pulling the bar out. And it is actually a good thing for when you're trying to get your baby in and out of the seat- no trying to maneuver them below a toy bar, just unsnap it and lift the little one out.

Other reviews have noted that the seat doesn't recline enough for newborns- my kids are older, so I can't comment on that from personal experience. I wanted to go ahead and mention it though, so if you're using it with a newborn with poor neck control, just keep an eye on that.

Utterly fails in practice, 2010-05-31
BUYER BEWARE: Most of the so-called "reviews" on this product page appear to be written by people who have not actually purchased the product for use. They are instead glib, glowing reviews gussied up by participants in an incentive-based program called "Amazon Vine" to help Amazon sell new products more quickly. I am deeply disappointed that what mis-leadingly sounded like an innovative product is poorly realized. This bouncer does NOT have two reclining positions and sits at a highly inclined angle. My seven-week-old son without neck control cannot relax in it comfortably and his head dangles forward. The seat belt is attached to the unit at the height of his shoulder, not his waist; my son is 95th percentile in height, so this is another example of head-scratching design. Additionally, the vibration unit causes the entire metal frame of the chair to rattle and buzz very loudly. The final inconvenience is that the "three ambient sounds" that are advertised will automatically cycle themselves one after the other every couple of minutes. The only thing this chair does well and sensibly is collapse to a very portable form, perhaps for perpetual storage in the closet where it will never be used again. Not recommended.

An Excellent "Bouncy Chair" for the Money, 2010-05-27
New to parenting? This is one device that is a must for at least, say, eight months of your baby's first year, probably more. This is a very portable, easy to store, commendably-built bouncer. It is comfy, easy to clean, and great for napping. I wish I had an adult-sized one.

The vibration-mode works like a charm, and there are different sounds of nature and music to softly lull the baby to sleep. Semi serious here; note that this bouncer doesn't have a pogo-stick in it and will bounce your baby all over the place by itself (LOL)... it is a kinetic engine and uses your baby's movements to bounce him/her gently about.

It requires a couple of AA batteries; if I recall, there were a couple that came with the seat/chair/bouncer, but they didn't live long compared to the good batteries available in stores.

We just bought one of these for our friend who is expecting her first very soon, so we highly recommend it! :^)
