Rating: - Great bouncer! Love it!
My son is 3 months old and loves this bouncer. It was easy to assemble. I like the fact the toy bar easily detaches. The toys are easy to grab and the lights,music and colors are appropriate for a little one. The weight limit says 25 pounds, not sure if it would really hold that much, but great for under 6 months!
Rating: - great for a long time
When my son was a newborn, the vibration feature was great. He'd sleep in it while I worked at my desk. Now that he's almost 5 months old he plays with the toys and watches the lights on the waterfall. He starts to wiggle and kick his feet as soon as I go to strap him in! When he's done playing, the vibration lulls him to sleep. He can be occupied/napping for over an hour. He loves the feature where the lights and music are activated when he bounces. He's learning cause and effect as he wiggles to get the fun started! I love that it's been helpful since birth, and will continue to be a useful for several more months.

Rating: - Good overall
We bought this a bit late...when she was about 3 or 4 months old (almost 7 months now). She would be happy in it for about 15 minutes, sometimes 30. But that's all we needed. She enjoyed it quite a bit (still does on occasion). I've never had to change the batteries, though we don't use it a whole lot, so not sure if that is typical. She did get bored with it quickly after a while. It became a 5 minute distraction. At one point, her foot got caught in the parrot's "ring/swing". That was a bit scary! Of course, once she realized she was okay, she put her foot through the ring on purpose a couple times. We use it every now and then still, but only for a few minutes, since she can sit up on her own, and she will lean over the sides. She's also grabbing the frog as he pops up, and it clicks. I'm afraid she'll break it soon! I think it's time to get the Jumperoo! (She loves to gnaw on the parrot's beak :(.)
Rating: - Worked awesome for me.
This was great for my son. He loved the lights and vibration. As he got older he liked to kick at the monkey and bird. The clicking that some people talked about, never happened to us. It wasn't totally without noise, but my son loved being laid in this. He would fall asleep and I loved the three settings option. I could even lay him in it, on vibrate only, and he would fall asleep. The arch comes right off! Now he is 5 mths and a bit heavy and long. He can't get in it as well. It lays almost to the floor. I would recommend this product for NB to 3mths. It worked awesome for me (being a first mom and knowing zip about babies). I also has the tummy time rainforest mat- with the jungle rigging??? Also fisher price. It was (and still is) one of his favorite things to play with.
