Advantages: Plenty to keep baby amused, vibrations

Disadvantages: Needs quite a few batteries

I bought this bouncy chair before my daughter was born, and after doing a lot of research online. I wanted something that wasn't just a bouncy chair, but would entertain my baby too.
It seemed to get good reviews so I went ahead and bought it.
Turned out to be a very good purchase!
When she was first born, obviously my daughter couldn't play with the toys, but it was a safe and comfortable place to put her, and once she started being able to focus she enjoyed watching the colourful lights and dangly toys.
The chair can be switched to vibrate, which provides nice soothing vibrations, which I found helped to soothe her. In fact she often wouldn't be left in the chair without the vibrations on!
I had a bit of trouble with the assembly, the instructions weren't very clear for one of the bits and I struggled to fit it together correctly, but got there in the end.
The cover comes off so it can be washed which is a help.
It does require two different lots of batteries, one for the vibrations and one for the lights and music.
The toy bar comes off so you can take baby in and out easily, although I rarely took it off, as it was easy enough to take baby in and out without doing so.
She grew out of the chair by about 5-6 months, but I got my money's worth out of it and was happy with the purchase.

Summary: Good buy, would recommend
