Check out our starter kits for your first months together here.

What’s the difference between our bouncers?

All our bouncers have the same construction and features. The only difference between them is the style of the accompanying fabric seat.

The fabric seats fit both our baby bouncers and can be purchased separately, so it’s easy to switch if you want a different look, colour or fabric. You’ll find extra fabric seats here.

Why should I buy a baby bouncer?
Our lightweight bouncers are easy to move around and take with you – they’re a cosy place for your baby to play close by you, while you have your hands free for a while. The natural rocking of a bouncer usually has a comforting effect on a very young baby. As your baby grows and learns how to control the rocking, the bouncer becomes even more fun, and also stimulates your baby’s balance and motor skills.

Is the baby bouncer easy to take with you?
Yes, Bouncer Balance Soft is lightweight and easy to fold up. You can move it around your home or take it with you to dinner at a friend’s house (when folded up, the bouncer fits perfectly in the basket under your pram). It also has a smart and practical transport bag, which you’ll find here.

What’s the difference between a baby bouncer and a baby swing?
Our baby bouncer offers natural rocking generated by your baby’s own movements, unlike a battery or electrically powered baby swing. This means that our baby bouncer weighs less, making it easier to move around and take with you.

Does my baby get the correct support in a bouncer from BabyBjörn?
Our bouncers have an ergonomic design that provides the optimal support to your baby’s back, neck and head. The fitted fabric seat distributes your baby’s weight evenly, and the bouncer’s three different positions mean that you can adjust it as your baby grows.

How long can I use Bouncer Balance Soft?
Bouncer Balance Soft can be used from newborn and up to the age of 2 years. In the earlymonths, until your baby starts trying to situp, you can use it as a bouncer. You can then use the bouncer as a comfortable child seat by simply reversing the fabric seat.

What makes the baby bouncer rock?
Our bouncer rocks gently when your baby waves their arms and legs. No batteries are required – our baby bouncer runs on pure fun!

Can you change the fabric seat?
Yes, the fabric seat is very easy to attach and remove. This is ideal if you need to wash it (all of our fabric seats are machine washable) or want to give your bouncer a makeover with a new colour or fabric. Our fabric seats fit all of our baby bouncers and you’ll find them here.

Can I machine wash the fabric seat?

Yes, it’s super easy to clean—just toss it in the wash on warm (40°C). While the fabric seat can handle frequent washing, let's do our part for the planet: use lower wash temperatures and don't over-wash. For minor stains, a quick brush-off usually does the trick. Plus, our products are free from any harmful levels of substances, so there's no need to wash them before their first use.

Is it safe for my baby to suck on the baby bouncer?

Yes, we've chosen to certify our materials under either Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Ö 07-091, RISE, Class 1, or bluesign® Grade A – for products designed for babies and close-to-skin contact. This means that they’re kind to your baby’s skin and safe to taste. These certifications set exceptionally high bars to ensure that no harmful levels of chemicals find their way into products meant for your little ones.

Do I need to wash the fabric seat before use?

No, our fabric seats are free from any harmful levels of substances, so there's no need to wash them before their first use.

Is the bouncer safe for my baby’s hips?
The International Hip Dysplasia Institute acknowledges Bouncer Balance Soft as a hip-healthy product. This means that the baby bouncer provides the proper support for your baby’s hips.

Washing instructions

Life with little ones can get messy, right? That's why our fabrics are super easy to clean—just toss them in the wash on warm (40°C) and they’ll dry in no time, keeping their shape and color intact. While our fabrics can handle frequent washing, let's do our part for the planet: use lower wash temperatures and don't over-wash. Use a washing bag to cut down on microplastic fibers entering the environment. Choose an eco-friendly detergent minus the bleach and ditch the fabric softener. Do not tumble dry or iron. For minor stains, a quick brush-off usually does the trick. Plus, our products are free from any harmful levels of substances, so there's no need to wash them before their first use.
