Summer Infant Deluxe Soft Embrace Gund Bouncer reviews

Comments about Summer Infant Deluxe Soft Embrace Gund Bouncer:
I bought this product because it was super cute and neutral. I thought I'd be able to use it for a 2nd and 3rd child - but I was wrong. My son absolutely loves this chair. It's really soft and comfortable! We had to replace the batteries after almost 2 months, and it hasn't worked well since. It will vibrate for a minute or two and then stop. I thought it was the batteries, but I replaced them again and am still having the same problem. And this is not a bouncy chair....well, it will bounce manually, but not on it's own. I am disappointed that the vibration part of it no longer works well, because my son did love it. When it did vibrate, it was fairly loud though.

Great for keeping my daughter occupied while I showered! I love that it has three positions: cradle, reclined and upright. I would have liked to have seen it in stores so I could have seen it and felt it before I registering for it. But I'm a Gund fan, so I took a chance. Super soft with a sturdy base, but not travel friendly at all.

This is the worst bouncy seat ever, it doesn't bounce unless you constantly push up/down on the seat part and the vibration sounds like a plane taking off - it actually shakes my whole house! Do not buy this product!

Well I registered for it because of the neutral color and lack of pattern, but the bars that stabalize the seat bent even up out of the rubber and plastic and eventually it almost touched the floor when he was a couple months old. We were well within the weight limit and it still bent. So we didn't even get to use it as long as we should have. I have another child on the way and I will not be able to use this one again. They will only be 20 months apart.

This bouncer is so great! It's our daughters "lazyboy" if you will. We have it sitting on top of our coffee table in the living room, and she loves to sit/sleep in it. It is soft and cozy, and safe because you can strap her in. The variable positions allow us to lay her down or sit her up. My husband and I enjoy having her at eyes view while we watch T.V. and socialize. When she gets fussy she loves when we turn on the vibrations and sounds. Overall, she spends more time in this bouncer than anything we have!

The vibration feature doesn't have a low setting so I was too nervous to turn it on with my newborns because it shook so vigorously. Basically I was only comfortable with them sitting in it and that quickly bored them. I ended up finding a used fisher price seat at a garage sale and it is comfortable and has perfect speeds.

Motor stopped working after 6 weeks of use. Very comfortable, but he really enjoyed the vibration. Without that working, it is basically worthless to us.

After reading some posts, I will agree with some cons. Yes, the seat doesn't really bounce and the music/vibration isn't the greatest.

On the upside - I could not have survived so long without it! The reclining feature has been a lifesaver with a baby who was not happy about sleeping flat on her back for the first couple of months (most babies get the startle reflex and don't like it). I can sit her in her comfy seat after eating on the middle incline level so she won't spit up, and then we she starts to doze, recline and she's out. We can move her around the house in the seat, and best of all, not wake a sleeping baby when time to go to sleep in our bedroom. It was an easy transition to the bassinet that she hated at first. There are not many seats that recline and I wouldn't trade it for anything! A few tired, new mom friends of mine borrowed it and got one immediately afterwards. Also, take the little puppies off the toy bar and hand some links or car seat toys. It easily entertains. LOVE IT!!!

This bouncer is very comfortable for baby but there's just not much to it. It's not colorful and the 3 dogs that hang on the bar do not make noise. My baby gets very bored after little time in it.

I bought this item without reading the other reviews. I should have, because my experience is pretty much right on par with the others. I bought this item because I was looking for a seat that played music and was neutral and there are not many gender-neutral for reasonable prices. First, it took FOREVER to assemble due to the screws being incredibly long and cheap. After a few twists of the screw driver, the heads became stripped. So, you had to apply a lot of pressure for the rest of the lengthy screws. Most ended up not even going in all the way anyway. I would recommend assembling only with drivers that have short shafts, as they did a little better with the long, flimsy screws. Once assembled, the vibration was LOUD, even on the "lowest" setting. I was worried it would make my kid deaf! I was O.K. with the music settings. Then, after about 2 months of use, the seat totally broke and I threw it in the garbage! The puppies also do come off easily and are pretty useless. I am now using a good ol' Fischer Price bouncer I bought at a second hand store. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. YOU WILL BE SORRY.

I should have read the reviews before I bought this item. It plain and simple does not work. I have tried 4 new packs of batteries... and nothing - no music no vibration. Now I have to jump through hoops to return it because it is an on-line only item. Don't waste your time and money on this.

This bouncer is loud and eats batteries. We have had this product for 2 months and have had to replace the batteries 3 times, 8 AA batteries at a time. It is hard to get the batteries into the seat as well. The vibration is also VERY loud and the seat does not really bounce. It is not worth the money!

Initially we started using it after our baby turned 5 weeks. However, the vibrating function stopped working after 2 months so I only use it as a chair now. I'm very dissapointed in it. I wouldn't buy it again.

First of all, the things I like about the seat is that it has 3 different reclining positions, it is soft and comfy for baby, and fairly durable.
However, it was very annoying to assemble- 4 out of 4 of the screws did not fit and could only be screwed in halfway. The vibrate setting is extemely loud and seems very rough for a newborn/ok for older baby. There is a knob to control the intensity but it only seems to have one setting no matter how you turn it. The musical options are very brief and replay the same thing over and over again- and there is no volume control either. Also, adjusting the seat is very awkard. And lastly, the velcro holding the dog toys is very weak and when baby is actually old enough to play with them they come off almost immediately or slide down the bar out of reach.
I would never recommend this to anyone. There are plenty of other bouncers for less or the same price that are better quality.

When I first received the product, it wouldn't assemble correctly, so I had to re-order which was a hassle. But that could have just been a single-defect.

When my son was first born - it was wonderful. Sometimes he would not go to sleep anywhere else, but the chair when fully-reclined. The comfortableness combined with the vibration worked wonders and my son could fall asleep in it. EXCEPT - if you have the vibration on for not even a full-night the battery is dead by the next day! I have spent more money on batteries for this bouncer than the actual bouncer costs!!

Now that my son is older (5 months), the chair is not good for much other than a place to sit. It is not stimulating at all, the little dogs on top do not offer much. I used a bouncer when visiting my mother that had music, lights, toys, mirrors, he could play in it by himself and it was much more stimulating for him! Also, this technically cannot be called a bouncer, it does not bounce!! A true bouncer will move and bounce as the baby kicks, etc.

I bought it because I thought it looked nice. BUT Not recommended as a bouncer!

I thought this was great when we got it. It didn't last long. Hard to assemble, stains easily, falls apart, vibrating chair part broke, and there is no way to easily transport.

TERRIBLE. DO NOT BUY THIS!
