[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love products that serve a dual purpose! This rocker transitions with your child as they grow. Pop the kickstand out and it functions as an infant seat. It includes 2 hanging toys to hold your baby's interest. One spins and makes noise and the other has 3 colored circles on a ring for them to play with. As your baby grows, put the kickstand back in, remove the toy bar and it turns into a toddler rocker. My 12 month old loves climbing in and out of the chair! I love that I can leave this out for my toddler to play and sit in the rocker and then quickly convert it back into an infant seat when my friend brings her newborn over! It also has an adjustable back seat to go from laying to sitting. Overall a great dual purpose chair that will last from the infant well into the toddler stage.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Versatile rocker for different ages

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I received the Infant to Toddler Rocker, I expected to use it primarily for my newborn daughter. Once I had assembled the rocker, my 2 year old immediately claimed the seat as her own. The removable toy bar was essential, as my older daughter could not easily climb in when it was attached. I did like the toy bar however for my infant. Assembly was relatively easy, although I did have a little trouble figuring out where one part fit together. I was able to get it together eventually. I liked how the seat snapped in easily without too many screws required. The seat seemed sturdy despite the easy assembly and has held up to my older daughter's energetic rocking. The seat was also lightweight enough to be moved easily. The addition of the kickstand made me more comfortable placing my infant in the rocker. The design was attractive and it has held my older daughter's attention since we received it. I would recommend as well as purchase this product.

Child rocker

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The rocker is very durable for my infant and my toddler alike. My infant can lay in it and play with the toys that are attached and when she is not using it my toddler can sit in it and hang out. The only thing that I would change is to make it smaller or able to fold up.

Worth it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have both a toddler and an infant, so I was excited about this product. I already have a bouncy seat and a swing for my infant, but nothing that is meant for my toddler. The rocker didn't take too long to put together and seems pretty durable. The back of the seat tilts to accommodate for both of my boys. It is very easy to tilt the back of the seat, which means I can switch it easily for either one of my boys. I really like the kickstand that stops the seat from rocking. It prevents my toddler from rocking the baby too enthusiastically. The seat has a vibrating option. It works well but is somewhat noisy. There is a high pitched humming sound as though something in it hasn't been greased enough, and the motor sounds weak as if it is straining (it makes the same sound when the seat is empty, so it doesn't have anything to do with the child). It isn't a loud sound, so it doesn't bother my son, but it is a little annoying. I don't use the vibrating option much anyway, so I am able to overlook this. Hopefully this is just a fluke in my product, because the rest of the product is excellent. The toy bar is very pliable. I am used to toy bars that are rigid and metal, so the fact that this one is very bendy seemed strange to me, but it seems durable. I love the bright colors and the interactive toys on the toy bar. The fabric is easily wiped off so you don't have to take it off the seat to clean it. This is definitely a great product for me because my toddler loves to sit in the baby seats that I have. It is very nice to know that this seat can accommodate both boys without me having to worry about the seat getting damaged.

Great for infant and toddler

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Both my infant (2 months) and toddler (2 1/2 years) seem to really like this baby seat. I like that it's lightweight and can be easily moved around from room to room. I love the bright, fun colors and design of the seat and the hanging toys seem to keep my infants attention. My toddler likes playing with them and moving them around for his baby sister. My toddler climbed right in with a book as soon as we put it together. He seems comfortable in it and not squished at all. I love that both my little ones can use it and that the weight limit is 40 pounds. The seat fabric is easy to remove to wash - we have a swing from a different brand that's really difficult to remove so this is a big plus. It only took about 15 minutes to put together but it was a bit difficult to understand step 3 of the directions. Overall it seems like a great seat and I would recommend this for infants and toddlers.

Will Last for Years

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The infant to toddler rocker is a great purchase. The rocking and vibrations are great for putting an infant to sleep. The toys on the bar are colorful to keep baby entertained, but they aren't really useful until baby is a little older and can swat at the toys himself or else you have to sit and move/shake the toys yourself. My 16 month old also tried out the rocker. I think he's at an in-between stage. His legs are too short to reach the floor to make the chair rock, and he needs help getting into the seat. Once he grows a little bit more, I think he'll really enjoy the rocker too. He likes sitting and laughs when I make the chair rock, since his feet don't reach the ground yet to make it rock himself. Really happy with the rocker, because it's something I can keep around for a few years. It's not something you keep for 6 months and then put in storage, like many baby items.

Solid little rocker
on November 8, 2015

from Fargo, ND
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We received the rocker about two weeks ago, and have spent our time using it in order to give the best complete review we can.
Assembly - very simple and I got it together in just a few minutes!
The rocker legs are nice and wide and have "stoppers" on either end to help prevent rocking too far.
My son (3 months) won't sleep anywhere else but there now, so we have stopped using the crib, for now, because he finds it so comfortable.
It's sturdy because our 22 month old frequently climbs in when it's empty and enjoys rocking it heartily, stopping only to try and buckle herself in on occasion.
I was a bit dubious about the front brace, but it appears solid and sturdy. The material is easy to clean, which is a big plus with children that age, and the design on it is really cute.
We tested the vibration function, but it seemed weak, and our children showed no noticeable change while it was on. Not sure if that is a problem with the unit as a whole, or just ours, but worth noting.
My only slight complaint is the toys. The toys that hang suspended above the baby get uncomfortably close to the baby's face. I think they hang a bit low. They didn't actually hit our child in the face, but it was uncomfortable leaving them like that, so we have taken them off and only use them on occasion.
Overall, the product is solid.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this chair thinking my toddler might enjoy it and then baby number two would be able to inherit it when she arrives. No chance- we will be getting a new one for the baby. My tolddler loves it way too much to take it away! She asks to sit in her "seat", takes her snacks over to sit and eat them, and watches her shows while rocking in this chair. The chair itself it is great - easy to put together, durable, stands up to my toddler throwing it around, flipping it upside down, and of course rocking her babies in it (in addition to using it the correct way!). I would recommend this product to anyone - I've been very impressed by it.
