Wendy of Lisle IL (5/31/02):
The Safety 1st 3 in 1 Bouncer is NOT safe at all. When my son was only 3 1/2 months he almost flipped himself backwards in it; despite the green "safety" pegs. Several time he almost flipped forward as well, when leaning forward. Luckily I caught him in time!

The plastic belt buckles detach very easily too, which can cause a choking hazard. Infants do mouth things. Thankfully, I caught it before he began that stage. When he was sitting in the chair and leaned forward, they fell off, and I saw him grab the side of the chair, pulling himself over the side. I caught him in time. This instance happened all at the same time.

The soft bar is not safe as well. My son got hit in the head several times trying to play with the hanging toys; which, by the way, snapped off really easily. The velcro was awful! When he started crawling he tried to rest his hands on the front of the chair to support himself and dove headfirst into the seat, bruising himself. The chair is supposed to go from 0 to toddler. I've no idea how this company thinks that it can support the weight of a toddler, when it can't support my 8 mo old son now. My son is not the "Hulk".

I will NEVER buy from Safety 1st again! I'm not even sure that I'll buy another bouncer again, because of the miserable experiences that I had with this one.

The best way for baby to bounce is to hold onto a grown-up's hands and bounce on a bed or sofa.

I was placing my daughter in the "Fold-up Grow with me Gentle Vibrations Bouncer" # 42035 when the bottom part of the bouncer collapsed. Thank God that I was quick and was able to catch her before she hit the floor. Both plastic pieces that hold up the bottom part of the bouncer had broken off. I am extremely disappointed in their product.
