Does anyone have an issue with one side lifting off ground when child bouncing? Seems mine needs to be weighted down. Baby only 16 lbs

We haven't had that problem. I think you might want to exchange it for another one

I have not had any issues with this and my baby weighs 20 lbs and bounces like crazy in this thing. Maybe it isn't put together correctly?

My 32 lb toddler still sleeps on it. I haven't had any problems. Sorry! This is the second mattress we bought. Is your crib base good? Maybe not enough support there.

depending on how many kids you have and how aggressive they are with their bouncing you may not need anything. I know when we first set ours up outside we did not anchor it to the ground at all (although it is recommended) after a couple hours of bouncing we noticed it started to shift from the original position, but that was after the bigger kids got in on it, when it was just he littles (5 and under) they didn't seem to effect the position of the bounce house at all. If your kiddos are small and there are only a couple you could probably get away with no sandbags, if they are older, bigger and more aggressive then you will definitely need something to anchor it down.

I would give it a try. My son is a little over 8 months. People tend to think he is younger because he is on the smaller side. He is a very active sleeper so it doesnt work well at night anymore, he usually ends up beside it etc.. But, we still use it for diaper changes, hc, swing etc so he's not flat on his head.the part where his head would rest is about 7 inches across in the middle if that helps. If it doesn't work u could save for another baby or loan/give away but I would try it. We will use it as long as possible, I'm sure he appriciates the extra cushion:)

The Support Is Pretty Good. Our One Year Old Leans To The Side And Her Head Stays There Without The Straining. She Does Tend To Just Hang Her Neck Down The Middle. When That Happens, Theres Not Much Help

Have you tried aggressively pulling up on the center of the bottom of the crib? I've had this issue with mine too, but it's usually resolved by pulling up on the bottom (fairly high) and then latching the side. Kind of a weird mechanism.

I have this sitting my bed and sometimes I'll catch my cousin sitting on the middle part and she weighs a good 50-60 pounds and THANKFULLY the middle part has never broke or even bent.With her sitting on it she has never tipped it over, but it could also be where I have it sitting.I dont think a baby pulling up on it would knock it over, i just tried testing mine. It may move a little but shouldnt tip over.

The lift/lower mechanism has a shock-absorber type of mechanism, that slows the rate at which it drops. Never checked how heavy the dropping part is, but it is definitely the lightest part of the whole thing, and might not harm your child even if it did come down -- check it out and decide for yourself.

I'm clumsy and have run into the rocker from both directions (head on and from the side.) We have hardwood floors, and when I've knocked it hard enough to do more than rock, it's just either slid across the floor (without the baby in it) or rocked/stayed in place (with the baby in it.) Obviously, as someone else said, if your bigger boy grabbed on the side to take a look at his sibling, he could possibly exert enough pressure to tip it, but it would take more than a supervising parent would allow, so I wouldn't be as concerned about this risk.

We just installed it this last weekend! It doesn't impact our 2yo at all! You're supposed to slid the car seat into the center of the stroller when the older sibling isn't riding and I think that might be the position it's in in the picture. So far we're happy with it. The car seat does "bounce" some which takes some getting used to, I triple checked that the base was on there securely when I saw it bouncing :) and it does sit "out there" some, but everyone seems happy with the set up! Hope this helps!

I've been on there with both kids, prob 250lbs all together. The fabric is a little slippery though so we all kind of fell off in a heap. It would work well, though, for a more coordinated family!

Did not have that problem. My kid weighs 35 lbs and you can't hear her turning over.

I'm having a similar concern. My little girl is 5 months old, 18 pounds, and her feet stick out over the cradle as she is 26 1/2" inches in length. Last week she managed to pull at the canopy and got it tangled in the mobile, so I've had to remove it. I'd say this swing is most useful for babies under 16 lbs and under 25" in length. I'm now shopping for something else.

I have a dual, and by the time my daughter was 12 months, her use of the infant side made it actually softer than the toddler side. So now our next baby gets to use the toddler side for better firmness.

My 2 year old daughter has had hers now for about 3 months and uses it daily along with her cousins ages 6 & 8. The pink cover has never yet come off or even moved that I have seen. I am sitting here beside it, as it is in the middle of the living room. I am guessing that if they jump and land on the pink cover, the bounce pad underneath will get pulled when it stretches. I must be lucky that she/they jump on the black all the time. Does this sound like what is happening to you?

that is a good question....16pounds? But it says for babies until 30 pounds...You think it is not working well for your baby?

No, none for me. And my baby girl is 3 years old and weighs about 60lbs. She's tall, so she grasps on the bars very firmly. We absolutely love this bouncer. Money will worth it.
