One thing I learned by having baby number one, Graham, was that the baby items can pile up quickly and take up a lot of room. One of the reasons I founded this site was to provide friends with all the research I had done before having Graham on products that worked for the best buy (so you didn’t clutter your house with useless things). I know I have said this before, but it amazes me the leaps and bounds the baby world has made in just 3 short years! There is so much more technology and innovative thinking that has gone into baby gear.
We were sent the Infantino Fold & Go Bouncer for review. I know that I do not currently have a baby to put in the bouncer, but I am so excited to see the thought behind this product (and I know that my new little one will too)! This bouncer can be folded flat very easily. It folds so flat that it would be no problem to store it in the back of your car with all of your other travel items for a trip. This really makes this mom happy! We are thinking about possibly taking a trip once baby number two arrives and I was wondering how we would fit a bouncy seat in with everything else! Now, we don’t have to think about it. Our old bouncy seat has absolutely no folding capabilities. This will also save your precious closet space!
The Infantino Fold & Go Bouncer includes features that you would typically see on a bouncy seat. But, they have incorporated them with style. The music and sounds that are available on Graham’s old bouncer sound more like static than music. If you are a first time mom, you may not notice the difference, but if you are a seasoned parent, you will understand what I am talking about! The sounds on the Infantino Fold & Go Bouncer actually sound soothing (which is the point right?)! Included are heart beat and two nature sounds, 3 melodies, soothing vibrations, and even a volume control (thanks for that)! If you don’t want to use the soothing vibrations, you can always let your child be the bouncer. A bouncing action will occur with your baby’s natural movement.
Ergonomically speaking, this bouncy seat has an extremely plush padding with a contoured design that looks as if it will hug baby. I would imagine that this would help the baby feel even more safe, secure, and happy inside the seat. The toy bar can be detached and put back on when needed (some times those toys will startle a very young infant).
Overall, I think that this bouncy seat is a great space saver, wonderful travel companion, and a great value. You can purchase the Infantino Fold & Go Bouncer for about $49.99.
