[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were given this item free for reviewing purposes. My husband though there the photos in the instruction were difficult to follow, but it still only took about 15 minutes to put together. I love the colors and fabric of the seat. We have not washed it yet so I am not sure how it washes. We also are only using the rocking chair "style" as our daughter is 15 months. I would have loved this from the beginning as baby items that grow with the child are always a bonus! So far our daughter loves sitting in the chai and to rocking. I would definitely recommend this product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a super cute rockers. It's nice that you can use it at a very early age and then goes into a chair for toddlers. My toddler still enjoys the toys on it also.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish I would have found this product earlier. My daughter is 14 mo and we could have gotten a lot more use out of it when she was younger I think. What I thought this was originally would be a rocker for her but when you convert it to her size it isn't a rocker anymore. I will absolutely be saving this in case we have another girl though. It is perfect for her to sit and read a book and I think she feels like a big girl in it. The pattern is really cute. I only saw a boy pattern and a girl pattern, it would have been nice if there were neutral options so it could be used for the next kid no matter what gender.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Our baby loves this rocker!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the new, updated design of the Infant-to-Toddler Rocker. The package design was well executed, with very little waste packaging. It was very easy to put together. The instructions were very clear; I only hit one snag trying to figure out where the rear brace bar went, as the picture on the manual was a bit vague. The new design makes for a much sturdier base than its predecessor. I found that I do not worry about it getting bent or collapsing when switching between my 30 lb daughter and my 14 lb one. The wider base is a nice improvement, and the small extensions on the front make it easy to rock her with my foot while I am working. She loves the hanging animals! These make her giggle and bat at them like they are her favorite toy. I was worried at the length of them at first, but after watching her bat at them with some force, they do not come as close to her face as I originally was concerned with. The vibrating soother is a nice feature, giving off a soft white noise in addition to the gentle rumble that helps soothe her when she is fussy. The straps and snaps are covered by a padded belt, which protects little fingers. The lightweight and sturdy design makes it easy to move it from room to room. Propping up the kickstand gives baby a bit more height to see from.
When we switched it to the toddler seat, I found that if my daughter sat forward, and not fully reclined, it was a fun little chair. The back bar only has two positions, up and reclined. I felt like it needed one more up position in order for her to sit upright. As it is now, she seems to slouch in it, unless she pushes herself up with her feet. That being said, this was an issue for me, not her. She loved it as well.
So to recap: Pros: Sturdier, more modern design. Darling graphics. Easy to assemble. Great packaging. Rocking and stationary positions. Padded belt pad protects fingers from pinches. Easy to convert from infant use to toddler use.
Cons: The straps on the animals seem a bit long if baby is aggressively batting at them, but they do not seem close enough to reach her face. The toddler seat conversion needs one more upright position to discourage slouching while sitting in it.
All in all, Fisher Price, you have a winner in this! Both of my girls, ages 3 and 9 months love it and I might have to pick up another to keep the jealousy down! Well done on a fresh, modern update!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this rocking chair. I wished I had it sooner for my daughter to sleep in when she was younger. She is 1 and loves that she can crawl in the chair herself. I love the bright colors and heavy construction and unlike other baby gear will last her more than a few months.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to get this product but upon receiving it there are a few downfalls.
The instructions to put it together were a bit confusing on some parts but we were able to figure it out.
The toy bar sits really far back, so my 8month old sitting up, his head is directly under the toy bar. Which makes him very angry.
My 2yr old loves sitting in it and rocking herself though so maybe once he's a little bigger he'll enjoy it as well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great vibrations, lacks in rocking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Infant-to-Toddler Rocker really is a great buy, as it can be used for infants and toddlers a like. And while the vibration mechanism works great, the part I don't like about this Rocker is that you literally have to rock it by hand. If it could somehow rock forward and back on its own, it would be perfect!!
