Babies will stay entertained and develop balance and important motor skills with the Babysitter Balance.

Seat Helps Babies Develop Balance While Having Fun
The unique design of the Babysitter Balance utilizes babies' movement to generate a natural, rocking motion, so they can entertain themselves for hours--all without the use of batteries. By creating his or her own movement, your baby will develop balance and build important motor skills.

The chair can be securely locked into three different positions so your baby can sleep, rest, and play in comfort. The chair is suitable for newborns and holds up to a maximum weight of 29 pounds. When your baby is old enough to sit down in the Babysitter on his or her own, you can remove the restraint system and it will become a comfortable resting chair.

Removable and Reversible 100% Cotton Fabric
Made of 100% heavyweight cotton, the Babysitter Balance's fabric is soft to your baby's skin and durable for long-term use. All fabrics and materials used in the Babysitter Balance that come in contact with baby's skin are Öeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1 certified, an international safety standard for textiles, and contain no health-hazardous substances. The ergonomic design provides support for a baby's back and head while the fabric molds comfortably around the body.

Both the fabric seat and restraint system can be easily removed and are machine washable. As an added touch, the seat and restraint system are reversible when you want a fresh, new look. And with its attractive colors and striking, vertical piping, this seat is refreshingly stylish for the modern parent or babysitter.

Sturdy Footrest with Anti-glide Strips
The Babysitter Balance is designed with a footrest attached to the front for reliable stability. It also features anti-glide strips that ensure the Babysitter rests securely on the floor.

For added fun, consider purchasing the Wooden Toy for Babysitter (sold separately).

Pediatrician-recommended for Mental Development and Physical Support
Pediatricians recommend the Babysitter Balance as a practical choice for helping babies develop motor skills and balance, as well as for providing developing babies with proper neck and spine support.

Lightweight for Easy Transport
Especially convenient when you're on-the-go, this seat's lightweight, sturdy frame is easy to carry from place to place and folds down compactly for trouble-free transport.

5 out of 5 stars A MUST   March 9, 2010
Laura (Raleigh, NC)
We borrowed one of the older models with our first baby and I had to give it back, so now I have this one! It's expensive, but worth the money. It's so easy to fold up and travel with. Baby bounces when they move, it's comfy to sleep in, like a hammock, and you can tote it with you anywhere you need to keep an eye on baby, especially great outside. My firstborn didn't like the swing/vibrating seats with all the attachments. After 5 minutes it was stimulation overload. I found on this, you can clip on a toy, but usually baby is happy just hanging out, looking at everything around, or falling asleep peacefully!

my baby is almost 7 months old and still hasn't figured out how to bounce!! and now he leans forward in this thing and it worries me he might fall out!


5 out of 5 stars The best baby seat on the planet   February 25, 2010
A. Agarwal (Boston, MA)
This baby seat is the greatest! After three kids and lots of experience, this seat is the most comfortable one that I have found. Also, the harness buttons high at the chest, so unlike other seats, my daughter cannot lean forward too far. With the seat that we had previously with my second daughter, I looked over one day and her head was touching the floor! That will not happen here. Also, in some seats your child is practically lying down on her back, parallel to the floor while in the seat. This seat keeps your baby upright in a very comfortable position, also allowing her to look around. I am not into vibrating and musical seats, so I appreciate the lack of these features...others who are interested in these features will not like this seat. The seat also looks sleek and not too frilly, which I love. A+

We bought it when our son was 3 weeks old from a co-worker. If I hadn't been able to buy it from a friend, I would not have hesitated to pay retail for it. IT IS WORTH IT!!! Buying it after the baby was several weeks old really showed us how useful it is.

We can set him in the chair while we cook dinner, take a shower if the other parent is gone (with him in the bathroom), or just let him have some quiet play time.

My son absolutely despised tummy time until he was around 4 months old, so this was a total lifesaver. When he got tired of being flat on his back, I could set him up in this for a change of perspective and he would be perfectly content for 15-30 minutes. Trust me when 15-30 minutes a day of occupied, calm baby is worth the steep price they charge for this sucker. We also have the toy bar, and I will say that the baby does play with it.

I like that it's very well designed, has a relatively high weight limit, is very adjustable, and is simply designed with quality materials. We didn't want some garish, plastic, vibrating monstrosity in the middle of our living room.

We own the bjorn carrier (which I hate, but my husband couldn't say enough good things about), travel crib and babysitter, and they are all so convenient and well thought out.

When considering the high price, also realize that quality products will have a high resale value when you're done, vs. cheap plastic crap. So really, they potentially end up being a better buy, as you get more of your money back when you sell it.



5 out of 5 stars A Must Buy for Baby   February 21, 2010

This seat is a must-have. After copious research, I purchased the Bjorn seat against the advisement of friends, who believed that the chair was too expensive because my son would tire of it after three months like any bouncy chair. Thirteen months later, my son still uses the chair every day and my friends get the seat as a gift for their second children.
My son actually slept in his seat for the first month of his life, and I do not know what we would have done without it. Yes, initially we had to bounce him in it, but he was very content. Sooner than we thought, he learned to rock himself and the sight alone of little legs moving in perfect rhythm is reason enough to get the seat. To this day, he starts his day in his chair while I make breakfast and loves to sit in it while we make dinner. It enables him to be a part of the action, while safely contained, yet he is still expending energy to bounce.
I would advise any parent to pay any amount for this chair. It is light weight and folds completely flat so it travels everywhere with us and acts as a seat for feeding in a pinch. Washing it is as simple as throwing it in the laundry. Bounce for bounce it is a better buy than any other seat out there, and if that were not enough, it actually looks nice in the house.
