How does it compare to the Baby Einstein model?

I never actually used the fisher price bouncer because it was so wobbly I would not put my baby in it. The Einstein jumper is very stable

I didn't purchase the baby Einstein model because there was a recall on it when we were shopping around. I can however compare this to the fisher price rainforest jumperoo since we bought both. This discover and grow model is not as stable as the rainforest jumperoo. It tends to shake and wobble and the hard plastic hanging toys on this one hit my daughter in the head as she grew into it. The rainforest model has nice soft plush hanging toys and you can adjust the height. We bought my daughter the rainforest jumperoo when she was about 4 months old. She's 11 months old now and still loves it. I'd highly recommend that one over any of the other models. Doesn't exactly answer your question but I hope this was helpful.

I think it's fantastic but a completely different stroller than the City Mini GT. The GT is a one-piece stroller made for 6mth+ babies. I'm not sure if it has a car seat adapter; they probably do. The GT is heavier as well but the plus side is if City Mini offers a car seat adapter then you only need to buy one stroller. Whereas with the Chicco Keyfit, the baby will outgrow it as soon as he/she is no longer in a car seat. Having said that, I LOVED having my Chicco Keyfit Caddy because it was very light and VERY easy to use. As a first time mom, that's what I was looking for.

Just watched a YouTube video on this one. Appears to be much less wobbly than the Elenco model. If I was going to redo my buy, I would buy the wacky lab model since they basically look the same when complete.

I've never heard of the magic cube. but I can say that I bought the baby Einstein toy for my 7 month old niece and she loved it. I'm not sure if that's any help or not!

Go with the Ultra model....just a little sturdier. I have 2 boys. This model is good, but I think the Ultra model is a little heavier plastic.

I have both the Baby Bjorn and this one. The Baby bjorn is made of sturdier plastic and has more of the base touching the floor. It's a little more narrow than the Summer but the back is slightly taller. The Summer potty seat seems plenty stable and is wider across the "seat" (the part their tush would be sitting on). My daughter is really tall and big for her age (37 lbs, 42" tall, size of an average 4-5 year old). I would say she fits on the Summer seat better and her knees are at a right angle when she's sitting. On the Baby Bjorn, we had to put something under the potty seat to raise it up because her feet were falling asleep. I bought the Summer as a back-up seat but it's just as good and much cheaper!

The Boba works better for petite people. I think the Boba holds up really well, in regards to what another reviewer said. Also, the ergo requires an infant insert right? The Boba doesn't, which is a great feature.

I wanted to get the FP rainforst jumperoo initially, but the price on this one attracted me. My son LOVES it. The music is the same as other Baby Einstein products-it's classical-and not annoying like some other products. I also had my son in a friend's FP rainforest jumperoo the other day and noticed that it was significantly more snug for him. He's not chubby at all and I felt like the leg holes were snug. We LOVE the Baby Einstein musical motion jumper and I'm so glad that I decided to go with this one. It's also easy to set-up and adjust as they grow.

My son is 6 months and he has an easy time going backwards thus far. We havnt grasped the concept of going forward but the wheels and directionals on the wheels are pretty easy even when i push him into another room. Hes not very entertained by the console, so i normally have to give him other toys to keep his attention.

I love mine. It is great to just snap the infant seat in and go. It is really easy to fold up and it rides really smooth. I can't compare to the city mini. The only thing is my son hated his infanct car seat so we really were only able to use this stroller for 2 months so you will need another stroller eventually

We bought both this seat and the Britax Boulevard 70-3G. Both are great chairs. The Recaro's seat is not deep enough and makes it look uncomfortable but my kid doesn't complain. It has a really high back which makes it uncomfortable to get her in and out in our small car. If you're talking about a small infant, the seat does not come with an infant positioner that would make it more comfortable and more secure. The side protection wings also don't go all the way down for a tiny one. In my honest opinion, I think an infant car seat is better since it is built specifically for them. This one is much better for smaller toddlers. Pros: lots of venting so you don't have to worry about over heating. SUPER safe, steel frame. Cons: difficult install. Tall back even in a larger car. No infant positioner. I did LOVE my Graco Snugfit 35. They now make an even nicer Snugfit 40 that should last even longer than my 35. If I had to do it again, I would have gotten the Sung Fit 40 so that my 19 month old could still fit in it (35in height max) and then bought my Britax for ease of use again. I know I may have over burdened you with my answer. The seat is better for a toddler. But I wouldn't buy it again.

I have both for different reasons. My daughter was born 2 month premature and our early intervention neonatal Dr suggested the Manhattan try to aid in development because of the textures and how easy it is for baby to grab. She loves it and plays with it often. That being said as a matter of preference, she has had this toy since she was 4 months actual age and is almost 8 months now.. she never grows tired of this one and can play with it for ever. I have it hooked to her jumper and she never tires of it. I would say this is her favorite toy. There is a lot to do on it, it's sizable and made well. I have no complaints at all. If you have the money I would recommend getting both. I have both for different reasons.

I have both and love both. I had the performance first and added the 360 because my 4 month old son likes to face out. I would say the performance is better for an infants, but in the long run I will get more use out of the 360. I might also add that I borrowed a Bjorn from a friend and it doesn't even compare both ergonomically for the baby and comfort for the parent. The ergo baby is far superior!

a great play gym -- 4 month old has been using it at various levels for a month now (at this point, grabbing toys and rolling over). Soft and cute, attention keeping for baby. I bought this for my daughter as a gift (baby's mother). For Grandma's house I have the Fisher Price with lights and music (baby likes nature sounds). Both are great -- one "no-tech", the other mildly stimulating with sounds and soft lights. Really just depends on what you like... I thought the Skip Hop was little pricey, but baby does love it and it is well-made (toys on this are super-cute, and soft. Mostly hard plastic on the Fisher Price one). Hope this helps! a great play gym -- 4 month old has been using it at various levels for a month now (at this point, grabbing toys and rolling over). Soft and cute, attention keeping for baby.

I've had two baby Einstein jumpers and one bright starts jumper. I really like both the design is very sturdy and that is my main reason. I have 3 kids and it has never tipped over. The seat is super large and supportive. Yes, it's nice and entertaining but they all are.

I don't think it is comparable. It is a very nice car seat however, as it adapts from an infant seat to a toddler seat. A great value.
