I-feel rocker
Mia and I have been testing out the I-feel bouncer chair. I was really surprised at how easy and quick it actually was to put together. Mia instantly found comfort in her own little nest.
Easy to recline and easy to wash!
We have the I-feel in ‘grey’ and it is really easy to remove the covers, and wash when needed, which is ideal as Mia suffers from reflux and can be sick sometimes. The I-feel has really helped with this. It has three reclining positions and the middle position has meant it isn’t too high that she’s putting pressure on her stomach, nor is it completely flat so it often prevents her being as sick! It’s just right!! The three levels suit Mia perfectly, especially as she grows. Again with this, the I-feel is a million miles ahead of the majority of others bouncers I’ve seen.
The rocker has really helped us with Mia’s reflux as I can position her so she feels comfortable.
Lovely features and Mia’s made friends with the owl soft toy!
There is an activity bar on the side of the bouncer, which has a light that changes different colours, catching Mia’s attention and helping her to relax. There are also soothing classical music melodies, instrumental tunes or bird sounds (which is Mia’s favourite!). There’s also an mp3 plug in. This is a fantastic modern feature because we have several nursery rhymes and songs on our iPhones, so we can connect them and safely keep the phone away from wandering fingers in the handy little pocket on the side.
Mia really enjoys the soft toy owl on the activity bar as it rattles and makes a sound when you pull it. She will sit happily for ages chatting, shouting and hitting away at it.
There is a newborn head cushion included for the early days – is a lovely addition, as a lot of bouncers I’ve seen don’t have this benefit.
The newborn head cushion is a lovely addition.Comfort for Mia, but lighweight for me to carry easily
The I-feel is very lightweight making it easy to move around the house, so Mia can be in whichever room I am! The chair itself is deep, making it really comfortable for Mia which was really important to me. With other bouncers I feel that the baby can just slightly lean forward and then topple over
Rock-a-bye Baby!
The curved base means the chair can be a rocker or can easily changed to a fixed seat with two little feet at the back. However we did feel that it didn’t really have much of a rocking feature, unless you yourself sat there bouncing it. I was slightly disappointed that there was no vibration option with the I-feel. With previous bouncers I’ve used, the vibration sensation has been a real soother for my older children.
Stylish and modern, but practical too
We really love the stylish design with wooden and fabric look (it blends in with its surroundings making it look part of the space, rather than another brightly coloured/bulky toy taking up room!). It folds down really flat too which is great for storing away when not in use. With the older children around, I was worried that the activity bar on the side would snap with the kids leaning on it, however it has maintained its strength and has proved it’s definitely stronger than it looks J.
Does the I-feel pass the Happiness Test
Mia and myself would 100% recommended the I-feel bouncer to other mummies. I was skeptical about whether people would want to pay the higher price point for the I-feel, but after six months of use, I couldn’t be without it and without a doubt I would buy this product over and over!
Well-done Chicco, big thumbs up from Mia and me!
