Baby bouncer

The bouncer or infant seat is very often present in homes where there is a small child. In fact, it can be pleasant for the child to observe the environment from that particular semi-reclining position and for mom and dad to leave the child in the bouncer it can be a good way to rest for a while or finish some chore. But be careful: the bouncer must be used with some caution.

How to use the baby bouncer

Here are some useful tips for using the bouncer correctly.



  • Always choose compliant products

The first, fundamental precaution is to use a safe product, made according to the current Ce legislation.

  • Beware of containment

The bouncer must accommodate the child's body, containing it and ensuring that the spine (including the neck) is well aligned.

  • Never in an elevated position

The bouncer must always be kept on the ground, not on the table or on beds or sofas: the movement of the child could in fact cause it to overturn, with the risk of injuries, bruises and suffocation (if the child ends up with his face pressed against the mattress or a pillow) .

  • Never leave the baby alone

The bouncer is not a nanny. It's great to give parents some relief and give the baby the chance to see the world from a different perspective than in a crib or buggy, but someone must always be there to supervise the baby (and interact with him).

  • Don't overdo the timing

It is not possible to think of leaving the baby for hours in the bouncer, nor should it be considered an adequate support for bedtime (especially if the baby is small, the position is definitely not recommended for sleeping). Prolonged times on the bouncer increase the risk of plagiocephaly.

When to use it

The bouncer can be used from birth, but only if the baby is really well supported (there are also special reducers). Otherwise it is better to wait a few weeks.



Until when can it be used?

Starting from five months it must no longer be used because the movements of the child, becoming more energetic, could cause it to overturn or bend to the side.

It should not be used after 5-6 months of the baby, on the one hand because its movements, more and more energetic, could make it overturn or bend to the side, on the other because at this point it does not respect the needs of the baby, who wants to explore environment and do not sit still in an object.
