Do you have to use the automatic bounce feature or can the baby make it bounce?

When the seat isn't turned on, the metal frame allows the baby to gently rock the bouncer by moving their legs. When it's turned on, there are two motion features that can help even the lightest of sleepers to stay asleep. We LOVED this bouncer.

You do not have to use the bounce feature. The baby can make it bounce also.

The baby can make it bounce when it is big enough to. I found this bouncer wonderful!!! gave me so much spare time, could sit baby near when I got house hold chores done. Some times baby would fall asleep from the automatic bouncing.

Personally, I do not choose to use it. I know my baby isnt going to jump out of the rocker, I feel safe just placing her in it. Plus I can pick her up quickly, I do not need to unbuckle anything.

No bouncing, but it is super adjustable and easy to clean. It will hold a baby as soon as the head is strong enough. My granddaughter loves it. I got it for her when she was only two months old and now at nine months she still loves it. Buying some additional springs to add it could be a bouncer as well.

Mine doesn't either, but it doesn't seem to be a problem when the weight of the baby is in there. Mine is 22 pounds and she isn't going anywhere when she's in it, even though it does wiggle a little bit without her.

Yes, yes they can! The top part of the legs connect to the top play area and there are springs inside where that connects. This is what allows it to be a bouncer. It is three place adjustable - note the three dots on the legs. Also note that notch - or cutout - in the image. The unit can rock around with the baby in it - for more fun, but you can flip out legs where those notches are so that the unit is stable.My great nephew can still use it to this day (15 months old), and it can be converted to another setup.It has been a good device that we got a lot of use out of, and it entertains the young one rather well.

If you swing it manually, it will go side to side as well. What we do is swing it manually until the baby falls asleep, then switch it to automatic. When it's on auto, it goes front to back only.

You can't. It is helpful to play it to help the baby relax and fall in deep sleep, but once the baby does- the sound could actually wake him/her up if it kept running, so it might not be a good idea to keep it running all night anyway.

I didn't use it all the time. When the baby was very small I didn't feel like he could flip himself out or anything and sometimes I didn't want to risk disturbing his sleep. I tried to put a blanket underneath him to avoid the buckles. But I'd say it's better to use it just to be sure.

As long as they are strong enough to sit up. I got this well before my baby realized you could bounce (around 5-6 months). He just sat in it or pushed up to stand and played with the toys and it was great. Now he's 11 months and likes to jump in it and still plays with the toys.

It will come down automatically. However, it is not spring loaded, but gravity will help it latch.

Yes, mine bounces when baby kicks or when I tap it with my foot. The baby needs to be in it for it to bounce well

Yes it has that vibrating feature and the baby is always reclined to the angle you see in the pic. She sits very comfortably in front of the tv or even on the table and cannot sit up out of the seat. The rubber pieces actually keep that bouncy so firmly stuck in position that I have tripped over it on the floor numerous times. It just doesn't move. It is a very good buy. I had her in it from birth. Easy to assemble and the fabric can come off in 5 seconds, toss into the machine and has not faded at all.

I have a bouncer, bassinet and a swing and we use all of them on a daily basis. Its not recommended for the baby to sleep in the seat or the swing. The bouncer seat was a god send because it was the only thing that calmed my colicky baby. I took off the toy bar and did big bounces to calm him down and even put him to sleep. The toy bar is great for entertaining for 10 minutes while you shower or wash dishes. I would recommend the bouncer over a swing, but the swing does pacify for a longer time than the bouncer.

Pump it up until firm. If adults will be hippity hopping around on it (hey, its been known to happen!), you'll want to make it a little less firm. The gauge of the rubber is quite thick and this bounce-on toy is very sturdy for kids up to 100 lbs in my opinion.

I does not have a bouncer but she do bounce up in down on it on her own. My lo loves it.

It only rocks manually but my younger baby rocks herself easily on a wood floor. As she gets agitated and moves, it rocks and she calms herself and falls to sleep.

Yes - a baby can turn 360 and play with all of the different toys on the Exersaucer. I like this one because it has no electronic sounds (aka no repetitive noise makers that will slowly drive you insane!).
