Have trouble calming your crying baby? Here is a tip, try using a baby bouncer. Babies respond well to the calming motion of the gentle bouncing and swaying. While not advisable to be used for a nap, it can soothe fussy newborns and give the parents’ weary arms a well-deserved break.
Baby bouncers were created for little ones who cannot yet sit by themselves. Baby bouncers should always be used under the supervision of a parent or guardian. The weight limit of the bouncer is to always be adhered to and it must be ensured that the straps are snug but not too tight as it will restrict the baby’s airway.
What should you look out for when buying a baby bouncer?
Do not worry about going through the mountain of baby bouncers currently available on the market. We have a comprehensive guide for you with 5 important considerations to help you find the perfect baby bouncer with ease.
1. Weight Limit
Pay attention to the fine print with regards to the weight limit of the bouncer. A higher weight limit would mean you can use the bouncer for a longer period.
2. Easy to Clean
Ensure that the materials on the bouncer are removable and easy to clean. This will keep your child healthy and safe from any infections or illnesses.
3. Safety Features
Look for bouncers that come with additional safety features such as a harness and proper head and neck support. This is to ensure your baby stays snug and secure on the bouncer.
4. Strong Build
Look for baby bouncers that come with a wide base and ensure that the frame is made of solid materials. This reduces the risk of the bouncer overturning.
5. Comfort
Choose a bouncer with an adequately padded seat made of soft baby-friendly materials. This would ensure good head and neck support and it would not irritate the baby’s soft skin.
