All the wonders of the rainforest are captured for your little one in this adorable bouncer. A parent- and baby-favorite, this bouncer is full of fun, intriguing things to do for your child. Watch the tree frog and monkey play peek-a-boo in the leaves by the "waterfall," and see the toucan move back and forth overhead.

Baby will love batting at the hanging toys to activate the light-up waterfall and peek-a-boo action, which is accompanied by rainforest songs and sounds. Or, parents can activate the sound effects for continuous play. After a day full of rainforest adventure, turn on the calming vibrations and your infant will be ready to relax! Requires 4 "D" alkaline batteries.

About Graco
In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on.

What's in the Box
Graco Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center with carrier, and AC adaptor.

The world's first Newborn Soothing Center, Graco's Sweetpeace uses patented motion with four seating positions to create the perfect resting place for baby. Distinct sensations recreate a mother's movements and address the multi-sensory needs of infants. Developed with significant scientific research, the Sweetpeace calms baby via four of the senses: sight, sound, scent, and touch.

Sight: Because newborns need visual simplicity, the Sweetpeace is made with neutral colors for a calming effect, has an adjustable canopy to control incoming light, and hosts a mirror that helps baby settle by focusing on their reflection.
Sound: Comforting, low-frequency sounds recreate the in utero experience, while high-quality music offers sleepy songs for quiet times or upbeat songs for alert times. There is also a nature sounds (wind, rain, ocean waves) option, or an MP3 plug-in connection and holder allows you to create baby's customized playlist.
Scent: A parent's scent is most recognizable and soothing to baby. The Sweetpeace includes removable soft components (a swaddling blanket and head support) that can be infused with nature's "aromatherapy" and calm baby with the familiar smells.
Touch: A 2-speed vibration calms and relaxes with a subtle "massage" while the 5-point harness offers gentle ventral pressure that simulates "hugging." The Soothing Center also moves like mothers do. It has four unique seating positions that imitate how you hold baby, four cradling motions, three recline positions, and six speeds that can be adjusted to baby's mood.

No tools are necessary to assemble the Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center.

Babies (and parents) are calmed by the Sweetpeace's multi-sensory technology.

As if all of this wasn't enough to make you wish you had one of these when you were a baby, Graco threw in some other thoughtful features. The removable seat doubles as an infant carrier or a floor rocker. On the flip side, the Soothing Center's frame is car seat-compatible and accepts all Graco infant car seats. No tools are required to assemble the Sweetpeace. The device can be operated using the included AC adaptor or it can function on five D batteries (not included) should you be someplace without an available socket. Designed for babies up to 25 pounds.

Fashion refresh of the L1962 Smart Stages Swing - with the same features that include: 3-in-1 with full-size open-top swing, an infant seat and a toddler rocker; seat easily removes from the swing frame so mom can move baby around the house or can put the swing frame away when child is older; 2 soothing speeds, 5 songs, volume control, and a toybar with two removable toys. Infant seat has fold-out kick-stand for feeding or sleeping. As baby grows, the seat also converts to a toddler rocking chair that accommodates a child up to 40lbs. Measurements 33" x 27" x 33".

The Girls Think Pink Bouncer features a super-soft pillow that cradles baby's head and provides comfort and support. It includes a toy bar that has two soft ladybugs with satin wings, a plastic center flower toy with soft petals, a cute label for baby to look at, and delightful music that plays when baby pulls on the handle. Like all Fisher-Price bouncers, this version is a great place to soothe baby and keep her entertained. Includes gentle vibration feature. Requires one "D" battery, not included. Measures 18.5" x 3.5" x 17".

If you're not reluctant to give in to the obvious, the Fisher-Price Think Pink bouncer will reward your decision. The light pink, pink stripes, and pink flowers are cutesy without being cloying, but the real proof is that it works. Place baby in the deluxe padded seat, buckle the padded three-point harness, and bounce away. The soft, removable toy bar holds two satin-winged--and removable--ladybugs, and in the center is a flower that plays music when pulled. The pink pillow is soft and snuggly and adjusts as baby grows. If you get tired of bouncing baby, push the button for the gentle vibration mode, and baby will drift into la-la-land. This requires a D battery (not included), and recommended for infants birth and up with a maximum weight of 25 pounds. --Scott Teal

As mom and dad supervise, the child gains the opportunity to get comfortable with basic independent decision making and movement. The Bumper Jumper also gives mom and dad the chance to do other things while keeping an eye on baby.

The Bumper Jumper measures 17 x 69.5 inches (WxH) and weighs 3.5 pounds.

Somewhere around four or five months, babies start to tune in more intently to the world around them. Meanwhile, those leg muscles just keep developing. Suddenly, lying around on a mat or sitting in a bouncy seat just doesn't cut it anymore. The Evenflo Classic Johnny Jump Up is, indeed, a classic. Your bouncing baby boy (or girl) will truly start bouncing! Who says exercise can't be fun? Just slide baby into the padded seat, making sure only his toes can touch the floor. He will immediately sense the spring action and start pushing off with his toes. Instant entertainment!

Build on Baby's Milestones
In addition to being a source of exercise and almost endless amusement, the Johnny Jump Up also contributes to the development of several important milestones.

Gross Motor Skills
The legs are pumping, the arms are waving, the head is bobbing…baby doesn't know it, but he's working on his gross motor skills. Figuring out how to use those large muscles, then practicing and building their strength, is a key step in baby's development. Next thing you know, he'll be running and jumping and throwing balls!

Cause and Effect
"Hey, when I push down on the floor, I bounce! Let's see what happens when I push this way…or that…?" Okay, the Johnny Jump Up won't get your kid speaking full sentences, or even his first word (unless it's "Wheee!"), but this is the gist of his thought patterns once he settles into the seat. Cause and effect is a nifty concept that your child will experiment with for the rest of his life, from dropping food off the high chair tray (gravity!) to seeing what happens when he grabs a toy from his friend (she doesn't like that!) to discovering whether his parents really mean it when they say his high school curfew is 10:00 p.m. (oops! They do.).

Balance and Coordination
Being upright must feel strange at first to someone who has spent the first few months of life lying in someone's arms or in a crib. It's going to take some work to figure out how to keep upright (although the Johnny Jump Up won't let him flop over, of course) and going in the direction he wants to go. He's going to have to find the floor with his toes, push away, then find it again and again, all the while keeping his torso strong. Whether the Johnny Jump Up is springing up and down or front to back or side to side, baby will go along with it, keeping his balance all the while.

Easy to Install
After assembling the seat and attaching the toy loops, pull open the clamp arms and hook them over any doorway trim that meets the size requirements (wall thickness must be 3 to 6 inches, and the flat surface on top of molding must be at least ½ inch—and firmly attached. Do take these measurements seriously!). Slide baby into the padded seat, and watch his face light up as he discovers he has the power to make this thing move!

Important Note to Parents
Please don't let baby spin, swing, or sleep in the Johnny Jump Up, and read the instructions and warnings very carefully before using. --Emilie Coulter

Fisher-Price Gentle Motion Glider Seat The Gentle Motion Glider Seat from Fisher-Price is a comfortable, plush place to soothe and entertain baby. The bouncy seat glides in two directions in steady and soothing motion reminiscent of the motion parents make when soothing baby in their arms. It is similar to the motion a nursery glider makes. The Fisher-Price Gentle Motion Glider Seat rotates to glide from side to side or from front to back. The bouncer seat can be turned and placed in any position and also features a tow position seat which provides baby with an inclined surface for sleep and a partially reclined position for play or feeding. The seat cradles baby in deluxe soft goods and includes a soft, infant insert for added support and comfort for the young baby. The Fisher-Price bouncer seat also features a toy bar with two toys to provide play for baby.

Baby's crib may look little and adorable to an adult, but to a tiny newborn, it can seem vast and frightening. Plus, the crib offers none of the motion that baby is used to from his previous post in mom's belly. The Soothing Motions glider mimics baby's former environment a little more closely than the cold, empty crib. Shaped more like a cradle than many of the competing infant seats with motion, this glider nestles baby deeply into the plush seat. Extra padding around the head, back, and sides provides additional support and a detachable infant insert gives baby's head even more firm cushioning.

To meet the needs of even the fussiest baby, this glider offers gentle rocking in two directions—from front to back and from side to side.

However, it is the rocking feature that is certain to give mom's tired arms a break and to help soothe baby into a quiet state so he can drift off into slumber. To meet the needs of even the fussiest baby, this glider offers gentle rocking in two directions—from front to back and from side to side—and at speeds ranging from gentle to energetic. The two-position seat reclines to an almost-flat position for newborns or preemies lacking head support and for older babies who are ready to sleep. The seat adjusts to a more upright position for babies who are alert and enjoying the gliding motion. For safety, baby is strapped in with a three-point harness that is wide and soft so it gently contains baby without binding.

Parents can choose to turn on accompanying music while baby rocks to either promote sleep or enhance baby's auditory senses. The glider plays eight soothing lullabies for babies preparing to snooze or eight more upbeat tunes for those who are wide awake. For gross motor skill development, a padded toy bar dangles a little plush bunny and bear for older babies to bat around. Parents can remove the toy bar in a jiffy to lift baby from the seat.

The Soothing Motions glider has a 360-degree rotating seat so parents can turn baby to face them as they move about a room. For babies experiencing separation anxiety, this feature reduces a great deal of fussing that can be so stressful for parents. And, suppose baby does fall asleep in the glider and needs to be moved out of a high-traffic area to continue his nap. Comfortable handles at the head and foot of the glider, hidden beneath the built-in dust ruffle, make it easy for mom or dad to safely lift baby and glider and carry them to another room.

The glider's seat pad is machine-washable so the expected baby messes—spit-up milk and diaper leaks--are easily cleaned up. This glider requires four "D" batteries for operation and, sadly, does not come with a plug. Parents will need to have plenty of extra batteries stashed away so as not to be left high and dry with a fussy baby and a motionless glider. The Soothing Motions seat holds babies from newborn size up to 25 pounds. --Cristina Vaamonde

Baby takes a relaxing swing (side-to-side or front-to-back) as she watches plush rainforest friends in the mobile above play "peek-a-boo" among the leaves. While baby reclines in comfort, one of 12 different songs play, along with soothing nature sounds. And when baby's trip to the rainforest is over, the mobile swings away...until another day.

Swing includes: six soothing swing speeds (with a plug-in option that can save you money on batteries) two-position reclining seat and 3-point restraint. Folds easily for storage. Requires 4 "D" (LR20) alkaline batteries not included. Measures 43"H x 36"W x 28"L.

Perfect for fussy infants, the Fisher-Price Rainforest open-top cradle swing moves from side to side or front to back. Surrounded in comfort, baby watches as plush rainforest friends dance in a circle above the chair. Gentle nature sounds and one of 12 different songs will play as baby sits in complete comfort. The songs are either soothing for naptime or more upbeat for playtime. When baby's adventure in the rainforest is over, the swing easily folds up for convenient storage. Stylized for girls or boys, this brightly colored chair has six soothing swing speeds with a plug-in option to save battery space. The two-position reclining seat and infant head pillow keep baby comfortable and the three-point restraint keeps baby secure. This chair requires four LR20 alkaline D batteries (not included) and measures 43 by 36 by 28 inches (HxWxL).

Rock-a-bye Baby Bjorn…From the first name in front carriers for babies comes a handsome bouncy seat that any parent would be proud to position in the living room among the leather sofas and sleek coffee tables. But don't be fooled. This seat is far, far more than a fashion accessory for image-conscious parents.

The bouncy seat is one of the most important and useful pieces of baby gear most families will have in their homes. It would be lovely if we could all sit around with our babes in arms all day, every day; alas, dishes, laundry, dinner, and older children call. Bouncy seats allow the youngest members of the family to enjoy the chaos swirling around them from the comfort and peace of their own personal recliner. And in a pleasantly pared-down departure from the jingly-jangly, swishy-splashy seats that confront parents shopping for a basic bouncy seat, the only bell or whistle on the Baby Sitter 1-2-3 is a toy bar with three solid wood teddy bear shapes. No cutesy faces, no fancy textures or fabrics, no I.Q.-enhancing games and sound effects. No batteries.

This bouncy seat simply, well, bounces. The slightest movement causes a relaxing bounce--no on/off buttons or six degrees of vibration, just baby's natural wiggling. Depending on your tot's mood and wakefulness, the seat can be adjusted to three different positions for sleeping, resting, and playing. The deep recline is terrific for daytime snoozes, while the most upright position will be especially handy when baby gets a little older and is ready for more interaction with the world.

The seat can be adjusted to three different positions for sleeping, resting, and playing.

The attractive black fabric of the seat cover is reversible, from flat black to flat black with a diagonal pattern of a million faint gray "Baby Bjorn"s. Either way, the look is subtle, sophisticated, and unforgiving of yogurt or rice cereal stains…Luckily, it's easily machine washable (drip dry). Come to think of it, in this day and age, any piece of baby gear that is not machine washable needs to go straight to the museum of ancient artifacts, for crying out loud. The restraint system buttons (yes, buttons!) securely at three points, and is removable to wash, reverse patterns, or keep off entirely once baby is able to walk or to climb in and out of the seat herself.

That's right, you read that correctly! No need to scold your toddler for trying to get into baby's seat; this bouncy seat is suitable for 8-pound newborns as well as kids up to 24 months (or a maximum of 29 pounds). Just be sure to remove and stow that restraint system. Another good safety feature is the non-skid base, as well as the reminder never to place the inhabited seat on a table or other elevated surfaces.

Unlike the two- or three-month life spans of so many toys and equipment for children, this is one baby item that will truly grow with your little angel, up to two years! Even if it costs a bit more than some, make sure you're measuring that price against the number of months of use; most bouncy seats are workable up until around seven months or so, in spite of the actual age/weight range listed. This will serve as a cool seat for an eighteen-month-old, as well as a cozy bouncy for an infant.

Collapsible to a width of about four inches, the Baby Sitter 1-2-3 will easily accompany families to Grandma's house, restaurants, tropical resorts… The Baby Bjorn Baby Sitter 1-2-3 is the proud and deserving recipient of the Practical Parenting Best Buy award as well as best in test in Swedish parenting magazine. Elegantly simple, the minimalist design is so appealing for parents already weary of the jarringly bright colors and tinny sounds of so many bouncy seats (and other baby paraphernalia). Plus it's great for photo ops - no distracting background! --Emilie Coulter
