| Features:
| • | The Infant-to-Toddler Rocker is an infant seat that converts to a toddler rocker. | | • | In the infant mode baby is soothed with calming vibrations or mom's gentle rocking of the seat. There is a kickstand to lockout rocking for sleep or feeding. As the child grows, the seatback adjusts to a more upright position for a toddler up to 40lbs. | | • | In stage one, the toys are mounted to the toy bar and face downward towards baby for visual stimulation with bright colors and patterns. | | • | In stage two, the toys are unlinked from the toy bar and re-linked to the right and left of baby's grasp in addition to on the crotch strap for teething and to develop baby's sense of touch. | | • | Additionally the toy bar rotates out of the way to get baby in or out. The rear leg folds under to make it very flat and the toybar detaches for really easy take-along for Mom. A 3 pt. restraint is included and the pad is machine washable. |

 Not safe for infants who are starting to sit up January 25, 2005

(I have the previous version of this rocker, the mechanics seem unchanged).
Our son loved this rocker as a newborn (1-2 months). We pulled out the "kickstand" and that allowed him to be in a flat position and he was very comfortable. Most bouncers are too upright fro newborns. Also, the rocker has two recline positions for you baby's comfort.
As he got older (3-4 months), we would push in the "kickstand" in so we could use the rocking feature. He liked being more upright than flat at this age. He liked to look around and play with the toy bar. Also, we could rock him to sleep.
But, once (around 5-6 months) when he was trying to sit up and lean forward he fell over (the reason for 3 stars only). He was strapped in, so the chair fell over with him. I was in the same room as he was and he is fine - he was just a bit startled.
(Think about sitting in a rocking chair and leaning forward - if you cannot lean back then you would fall forward.)
I put it away for now and will try it when he can climb in and out of the rocker on his own.
 Good, waiting for it to become great. February 10, 2005

First off, I have last years model. From what I can tell, the difference is the color scheme. I bought this for my daughter when she was about 4 months old. She's 11 months now. At first, she didn't like the vibrating, as it made her itchy and she'd rub her face. Now that she's older, she's OK with the vibrating mode. It's nice and portable and is good for keeping her put for a short while. She does get bored in it if stuck there for too long...but not much more than others things that are confining. At her current age, the activity center does the job a little better, but a bit bulkier, so this is great for hauling into the bathroom and keeping her safe and in view while I shower. Oh, so now that's she older she is able to yank off the toys that can be velcroed to the top bar. Not a big deal. Try the linkadoos and attach your kid's toy du jour to the links...attached in turn to the waist strap. DD is fond of throwing toys overboard these days, so with the links, they don't go far, and she can then reach over and retrieve them herself.
NOW, I MUST MENTION TWO things I don't like about this item. FIRST, my daughter isn't yet tall enough to reach her feet to the floor and rock herself, and she gets a bit frustrated at staying still in the non-rocking position for too long. I know that in time, she'll grow and that issue will be resolved.
But, the MOST IMPORTANT thing to note, is not to assume your child is safe and secure if you dash out of site for a moment. My daughter leans so far forward in the chair now (but is unable to reach the floor with her feet), that the entire cloth back just comes forward with her, since she's strapped in. No big deal I thought, until...I left the room for a moment, and when I returned, she was crawling on the floor! I have NO idea how my little houdini did it, but I had her buckled in...and the waist strap was still buckled! The chair wasn't even overturned! There she was nearby examining our heat register in the floor. We were VERY lucky since there were other non-baby-safe items within her reach and the door to the room was open...and the house not yet completely baby-proofed. My husband and I were in utter amazement and the only thing we could come up with is that she leaned so far forward to reach something on the ground in front of her, that her body just folded over itself and she simnply somersaulted out of the chair...her legs sliding out of the belt (and it's on the tightest setting...but still doesn't fit as snug as I think it should...but I never thought THAT would happen). The chair must have just rocked back into it's upright position...and there she was crawling around happy-go-lucky; unscathed by the event.
I still think the chair is a good thing...will last longer than a bouncer. However, NOW, if I have to dash out of site for a moment, I make sure the rocker is in the non-rocking position so that it doesn't lean with her if she tries to reach forward too far.
This just seems to be an awkard stage to get it's best use.
If they could improve upon the fit of the harness belt, and make the cloth back somehow not move so much with the baby as he/she leans forward while belted in...I would give it five stars.
 MOST USED ITEM - WORTH EVERY PENNY! January 19, 2005

THIS CHAIR IS WORTH EVERY PENNY! We've used it daily since we brought my daughter home from the hospital. She's 9 months now and still loves it!
It has a kickstand so you can lean it back for a smaller baby/infant. Our daughter took all of her daytime naps in it for the first few months. We used the Snuzzler infant support pillow with the chair to make it more comfortable. It reclines far enough that we didn't need to strap her in every time like her regular bouncy seat. It made it very handy since we had a nice place to put her down quickly.
My daughter's head would flop around in her regular bouncy seat. This chair reclines far enough that we didn't have that problem. We would cover the chair with a blanket (toy bar removed) to take pictures. The Snuzzler pillow made her head stable so the pictures turned out great!
The toy bar is easy to install/uninstall. You just pull it out of or insert it into the two holes. The toys are a bit difficult for a younger baby to reach, but she still enjoyed looking and batting at them. We didn't use the toy bar much in the beginning, but use it most of the time now.
The chair is also easy to carry from room to room. Now that my daughter is older, I do strap her into the chair. She sits in it while I shower, cook, etc. She loves the toy bar and somehow manages to get one or two of them off to chew on. It also makes a good TV chair before they are able to sit up on their own.
Another plus is that it also vibrates like the other bouncy seats on the market.
The nicest thing about this chair is that it is an actual chair. The bouncy seats have a limited lifespan. My daughter outgrew hers by 6 months. The infant-to-toddler rocker will be used for a few more years. Her 2+ year old cousin sits in it every time he visits. It's also nice that we still have an infant chair so my friends with younger babies can use it when they visit.
This chair has been worth every penny. We've used it daily for 9 months! I highly recommend it and tell my friends that it's a MUST HAVE!
Used correctly, this seat is perfect! April 1, 2006

I've been reading the reviews about people putting their babies in this in the rocking position, and that's entirely too early for this feature to be used. The rocker part is for when the child is old enough to reach the floor with his/her own legs. You wouldn't put a child in an adult rocking chair and you shouldn't use the rocking feature of this chair for babies either. It's for the toddler stage. I've had this rocker for 6+ years and none of my 3 children have ever fallen out because they've never been put in by themselves in the rocker mode.

My 8 month old, 20 lb. daughter was sitting in this chair while it was in the rocking position. She was buckled in. She reached out to play with her toes and the chair pitched forward and she fell over with the chair still strapped to her. She fell face first onto the floor and hit her face on the floor and her face was pushed into the floor...she could not move her head. She could have been severly injured or suffocated.
