Combi Pod Bouncer, Chestnut

 (26 customer reviews)

if eames designed a baby bouncer it would look something like this. i think vibration is essential in a bouncer which is why i couldn't buy one of those sweet oeuf chairs. but this pod has it all. this is my most used baby item at the moment for my 2 1/2 month old daughter. i'm very happy with it's design and function. i don't use the hanging toys or hood. i didn't give this five stars because the vibrator seems to be getting noisier with use and sometimes is a loudish buzzing. not a huge problem, but a bit annoying. also, the music only plays one short (30 second) song per button push, which is strange. my daughter likes the chimes and we'll have to keep hitting the button so the music doesn't stop. anyway, great chair that looks good in our home.

I purchased the pod for my son who is due this month. The pod is aesthetically pleasing and appears it will do the job. I do recommend reading the entire instruction manual and laying out all your parts before attempting to put the seat together.

Cons:
1. The support bar has a notch on one side that if you don't pay attention to and incorrectly assemble it can either ruin your new purchase or take a highly determined pregnant lady to fix. I accidently put the wrong part of the support bar in and it took me a pair of hair scissors, (to press in the silver button) and all of my 9 month pregnant woman strength to remove the bar. I read that someone had the same issue in a review and Combi told them too bad because it was stuck. This is kind of irritating since all the other parts won't go in if they are the wrong way. I think Combi should label the notched side.

2. The toy bar comes off easily.

3. The music does not play that long...Read more

This is a nice looking bouncer and fits in well with the living room. My baby loves it and I did too until the base started falling off every time it was moved to another part of the room causing the person moving it to trip with a baby in arms. Then one of wooden beads that the base stands on started to slip off and finally broke in half (choking hazard!). And it drains batteries in less than a week with moderate use. Very disappointing, because it looks nice and is a reasonable price if you find it on sale.
