Evenflo Bounce and Learn Bee Exersaucer

I recently bought this exersaucer for my 6 month old boy (who is big for his age: 21 pounds, 30 inches). Although it is super cute and not as cluttered or overstimulating as other exersaucers I've seen, I'm overall not impressed with it for 4 reasons:

1. My very large baby can't reach the floor even on the lowest setting, so we have to keep a folded-up towel under his feet so that he's not just hanging there.

2. After only a few days, he managed to chew some of the paint off of the dragonfly's face. This concerned me enough to remove the dragonfly completely from the item, which is sad because he really liked that part.

3. As far as he knows, this thing does not bounce. The springs are so stiff that it takes a lot of force from me to create a bouncing motion. I guess I should be grateful that he can't bounce it himself because it makes way too much noise---a delightful crashing plastic noise.

4. There is one place on the toy tray that does not have a toy. I did not know this because in the picture, the empty place is hiding behind the bee's head. However, be warned that it will seem to be missing a toy when you are assembling it. Maybe there are extra attachments that you can buy??

I'm considering returning it....the only reason I haven't yet is because baby boy loves hitting the frog on the head for the sound effects.

EDIT: Shortly after posting this review, I found more paint chipped off of a different toy (the eggshell/bird toy), and therefore I have decided to return the item. It's a shame...it had a lot of potential to be good, but the thought of my baby eating paint chips is a deal-breaker for me.

This exersaucer is definitely going to last us a long time. Baby is a little young to really get into it, I know the suggested age is 4 months, my little guy is only 3 but he has great neck control and loves trying to stand. I know that he is going to grow into this and love it. There are 3 replaceable toys and two electronic toys, so there are less batteries than the frog evenflo bouncer. It also has the stabilzer feet on it, which was really important for us since little one is no where near ready to have it wobble around. I am very happy with this and can't wait for the little guy to grow into it!

Bought this for my 4 month old and she liked it right away, even though she couldn't make it bounce at that point. As the other reviewers noted, we did have to place a pillow on the bottom so her feet were touching (she's 60%-75% for height). She is now 7 months old and still needs the pillow, but has been bouncing in it just fine since she was 5-6 mo old. She loves to bounce. It's a good amt of bouncing so she has fun, but she can't get too crazy with the stiffer springs so that I worry about her head bouncing too much. However, I have a 26 mo old that gets in the bouncer and can definitely really make it bounce! There are 2 chew, flexible toys, 1 with a bird in an egg that vibrates when you pull the string (my daughter has always loved that), and 2 toys that need 3 AAA batteries each that talk, sing & make noises (1 has a mirror). My only complaint is that nothing plays full songs, or anything like the classical music from my old Baby Einstein exersaucer. My baby does chew on the butterfly & apple & thankfully we have not had any issues with the paint coming off. Overall, we are very pleased with this bouncer and it has worked out great!

We bought this because I assumed new model= new and improved. The lowest setting is so tall that my 4 month old's legs needs to grow at least 3 inches before he can touch the base. He is in the 75th percentile for height and weight. Seat padding is cheap feeling with no quilting or softness. The head rest part of the seat is supported by a thin piece of low density foam that falls backward because the stitching is too loose. If I had seen this in a store I would have bought a different model. I have only had this for 2 days and cannot write a more detailed review, but wanted to warn others of how high this is.

UPDATE: Baby is now 10 months old and feet have only touched bottom on lowest setting for 2 months. This is by far the least stimulating toy he has and he screams when I put him in it. It also makes a cracking screech noise when he does jump. By far the worst design yet for an exersaucer. It is cute but that is the only compliment I have after owning it for 6 months.

My son is 5 months old and loves this thing! He isn't quite tall enough for it, but we just put a throw pillow under his feet (on the highest level) and it's perfect. It was remarkably easy to put together...which is refreshing after assembling other baby-related items which have been a pain in the butt!
