Bouncer Balance Soft

Your child’s slightest movement is transformed into gentle, soothing rocking in the bouncer. Your baby develops coordination and has fun at the same time. When your child is big enough and able to walk, you can reverse the fabric and your child can use the bouncer as a chair. The bouncer can be used until your child weighs 29 lbs/13 kg. Our bouncers do not need batteries.

The bouncer has two sides:

Use the baby side from the time your baby is newborn until she/he can sit up by her/himself. The baby side is designed for young babies and has a safety harness that should always be fastened. The safety harness has two different fastenings to allow you to adjust the size to fit your child.

When your child is able to walk and sit down unaided, you can reverse the fabric and use the chair side. Your child can then use the bouncer as a chair. Your child will no longer need to use the safety harness, which is not possible anyway when the chair side is used.

You can use the bouncer for a newborn baby (8 lbs/3.5 kg) until your child weighs 29 lbs/13 kg (approx. 2 years of age).  You should use the baby side until your child can sit upright by him/herself and always with the safety harness fastened. Once your child is able to walk, use the chair side as a comfy seat for your child.

You can let your child sit in the BABYBJÖRN Bouncer Balance Soft for as long as he or she is content. It’s even fine for your child to sleep in the bouncer for short periods if he/she enjoys that. In that case, we recommend that you use the lowest position or medium position to ensure maximum sleeping comfort for your baby. However, small children should not sit or lie in the same position for extended periods.

That’s why we recommend that you pay close attention to your child’s needs and switch between the bouncer and e.g. a baby carrier/your arms/baby carriage/cot. For a little baby who can’t sit unaided, you should always use the baby side with the safety harness fastened.

The three positions allow you to vary your child’s sitting position so that he/she can sit in a more upright or more reclined position.

The maximum weight for the baby side is 20 lbs/9 kg and so we recommend the following:

1. Lowest position (Sleep) is used when your baby is newborn. The baby reclines comfortably with optimum support for his/her body and at the same time can have eye contact with his/her parents. Use the baby side and always keep the safety harness fastened. Maximum weight is 15.5 lbs/7 kg.

2. The medium position (Rest) can be used once the child can easily keep her/his back and head upright in this position and the baby side should be used with the safety harness fastened here too. Maximum weight 20 lbs/9 kg. 

3. The highest position (Play) can be used once the child can easily keep his/her back and head upright in this position and until the child can sit unaided, you should use the baby side and always fasten the safety harness. Maximum weight 20 lbs/9 kg.

When the child can walk and sit down unaided, you no longer need to use the safety harness; you can reverse the fabric and use the chair side. In this case, we recommend the following:

Lowest position (Sleep) up to 15.5 lbs/7 kg.
Medium position (Rest) up to 22 lbs/10 kg.
Highest position (Play) up to 29 lbs/13 kg.

Transportation mode – when the bouncer is not being used, it can be folded into compact transportation mode, which makes it easy to pack or store when not in use.

Lift up the positioner and move it to the desired position, at the same time as you lift the backrest with your other hand. To fold your bouncer for travel or storage the positioner must be set to position A or B. Pull back the red safety latch and set the positioner to transportation mode D.

The fabric in Bouncer Balance Soft, Cotton consists of 100% cotton.

The fabric in Bouncer Balance Soft, Organic consists of 100% organically grown cotton.

The mesh in Bouncer Balance Soft, Mesh consists of 100% polyester. The breathable mesh fabric carries away heat and moisture from your baby. The fabric has been specially designed for BabyBjörn

The fabrics closest to the child are tested and approved in accordance with Oeko-Tex Standard 100, class 1 for baby products. They are guaranteed harmless to children’s sensitive skin and will not trigger allergies.

The fabric is easy to remove and should be machine washed separately at 40°C (warm). We recommend a gentle, bleach-free detergent. Do not tumble dry and never iron the fabric as there is a risk this may compress the filling.

The bouncer gently moulds itself to the child’s body. The child’s weight is evenly distributed over the fabric seat, which results in good support for his/her head and back. All this gives your child an ergonomic reclining and sitting position.

The baby side is sewn as a snug ‘nest’ for your little baby. The safety harness is padded (local variations may occur) and folded double to be extra soft, as many children like to hold on to its edge. The safety harness is now sewn in place and therefore cannot be lost, and it has two different fastenings so you can adjust the size to fit your child. The frame has also been given a more rounded shape.

The new model has two sides – one baby side and one chair side. The baby side can be used from the time your baby is newborn until she/he can sit up by her/himself. When your child is able to walk and sit down unaided, you can reverse the fabric and use the chair side.

No, they are not a good fit. The fabric seats from previous models of BABYBJÖRN Babysitter Balance do not fit the new bouncer properly. Fabric seats for the older 1-2-3 bouncer don’t fit on the frame of the new bouncer at all.
