This bouncy seat has worked well for us. I like to snug, enclosed feel that the canopy provides, as well as the 4 location where toys can be attached. The music modes are pleasant and not too loud. I like the fact that the music turns off automatically after awhile, otherwise I would forget and run through allot of batteries. The vibration mode, however, keeps running until you turn it off and is a great soother when the baby is fussy. One note of caution is that the wire frame legs extend out a bit from the seat itself. This makes the seat very stable, but also makes it easy to hit your toes on it. Or maybe it's just me. All-in-all, we love this bouncy seat.
