Fisher Price Rainforest Bouncer Seat Review

Here we are looking at the Fisher Price Rainforest Bouncer Seat

All parents know how hard it is to keep your children safe and at the same time occupied so you can get on with what you need to do. Now add this to the fact that children love to bounce and a solution jumps up and hits you! 

Bouncers for kids have always been a way to keep them entertained and active. But nowadays there are other features that not only help your child stay physically active but also mentally active.

As you can see in the picture this bouncer seat has just about everything that could possibly make a baby happy. There’s a soothing vibration mode to help calm a fussy baby, and two different play modes.

The parent-activated play mode features six longer, continuously playing songs, while the baby-activated mode, which kicks off when baby bats at the hanging toys to activate the light-up waterfall and peek-a-boo action, has six shorter songs plus three sound effects that serve as a reward for baby when he or she plays actively with the toys.

I think the only thing I didn’t like about this bouncer seat was the required 4 “D batteries” that it takes! However, once those batteries are in, the bouncy seat works hard to keep baby entertained.

The see through waterfall is absolutely captivating, and you might just find yourself staring into it if you sit next to baby for any length of time. The music the seat plays is upbeat, fun, and it might just get stuck in your head of your baby is a frequent bouncer.

Baby Einstein Takealong Tunes Review

Here we are looking at the Baby Einstein Takealong Tunes

If you’re a new mother or looking for the perfect gift  for a new mother this is worth a look. This can help make it a little bit easier for mother and is designed to keep babies attention. 

Any time you buy a gift for a child, it’s always a good idea to research and read reviews from other people who have bought the same product.  That way, you know of any potential “problems” and can make your decision accordingly.

In the case of the Baby Einstein Takealong Tunes toy, the reviews are mostly favorable.  It’s small enough to take with you to keep baby entertained while driving, shopping, so that’s a definite plus.

We all have heard the noise of some toys that would drive you demented but this is different. With it’s beautiful, classic music that you will be able to listen to over and over again. 

A few people have said that they found the lights to be too bright but that’s going to be a matter of personal opinion. 

I was unable to find a recommended age range for this toy, which leads me to believe that the manufacturer finds it suitable for all ages. 

All in all, it seems like a nice toy and certainly good value for less than ten dollars.  It would make a perfect gift for a new mom and baby.
