The BabyBjörn Bouncer has been one of my most-loved baby essentials for over 3 years now — basically since about 2 hours after we brought Nora home from the hospital (seriously).
I was introduced to the BabyBjörn brand from a friend even before I found out I was pregnant… and from that moment on, I KNEW I wanted the Baby Björn Bouncer for our first baby.
Thankfully, I was fortunate enough to find an amazing deal on Craigslist about 2 months before Nora was born… and boy have our kiddos bounced more than a few miles in this bad boy.
There were many days when this bouncer was my ONLY break from holding Nora 24/7, and nights when she slept in it because it was literally the only way we could get her to sleep for more than 10 minutes at a time.
To this day, she STILL loves “lounging” in her chair… even though she is way too big and practically lays flat on the ground 🙂
Thankfully, we now have 2 bouncers so the kids don’t need to fight over them!
Recently, BabyBjörn came out with a brand new collection — called Dots. It’s a super cute, exclusive polka-dot pattern that is ONLY available at Kohls.com.
Isn’t it pretty?
Simon likes it too 🙂
He’s getting so big that he can get in and out himself and doesn’t need to be strapped in. However, getting out is still a little rough as his feet don’t quite touch the floor — so he basically just “falls” forward into a crawling position. He LOVES not being strapped in though!
My 5 Favorite BabyBjörn Features:
I’ve shared this list before, but figured I should include it again in this giveaway — for anyone who hasn’t read my professed love of the BabyBjörn bouncer!
1. It folds completely flat and takes up almost no space — very abnormal for baby gear!
2. It’s fully washable — just slide the fabric off, wash, dry, slide back on!
3. It has a very long useful “life” — from day 1 all the way through 2 or 3 years old.
4. It’s “baby operated” — a.k.a. no batteries to replace, no cord to trip over, nothing to break, no motor to die, and no parent’s foot required.
5. My babies LOVE it! You know how frugal I am AND how much I hate clutter. So for me to splurge on a pricier piece of baby gear, it has to be worth it. This bouncer seat is worth every penny and more based on the amount of sanity it has saved me over the past 3 years!

I have the same exact Baby Bjorn bouncer. It is over 10 years old and has “serviced” 5 babies! You can check it out at BabyBjorn Bouncer, along with my experiences and thoughts.
I too can not over hype it.
It can be easily washed, you just take the fabric off and wash it.
You can transport or store it quite easily by folding it.
My kid even used it for play when he was 3!
Very durable and high quality item.
You can resell it after you’re done with it or re-gift because it will look almost new when you’re done with it.
Looks beautiful and much much more!
I have seen people use it for baby naps but it is not designed for that and I strongly suggest you do not use it for that though.
Jennifer M. says
Wow, I would love to win this. We are expecting baby number 6 and really can’t afford all the nifty things for baby, so this would be a wonderful gift. I do hop we win as it also very cute!
Kim says
I would love to give this to niece who is expecting her first baby in July. She is bringing the first great grand baby into our family!
Emma {Emma's Little Kitchen} says
The dots ARE super cute! Sweet Nora looks just like you 🙂
Nina DeGroot says
Absolutely love that pattern!!!
Kathy says
Thankyou for this wonderful giveaway. WE have 2 daughters that are expecting in March and June.
Emily says
I’ve been desiring this bouncer since your first posted about it! We moved to a farmhouse last year and downsized our home. This sounds like the perfect bouncer for baby #5! He or she will get so much use out of it. I think I’ll have to start searching craigslist and maybe I’ll find one before my due date end of August! Thanks for the giveaway and I want to echo what other people have said about the simple entry!! Makes it so easy!!
Amy B says
This bouncer is so cute! And what a great idea to have one that folds flat-we have so much huge baby stuff that takes up tons of room and gets used for a few months at most. I’ll have to use this for a baby shower gift idea!
Andrea says
That was the main “selling point” for me too Amy. It hardly takes up any space — you can even slide it under the couch, behind the couch, etc. when not in use!
Amy B says
Now if only there was an exersaucer that folded flat! My kids have loved it, but it’s HUGE! 🙂
jessica says
I’ve wanted one of these for years, since you posted about Nora loving your first bouncer several years ago! Never got one, and planning another baby soon. 😀
Pamela says
I want to echo the others who have said THANKS for such a simple means of entering the giveaway. That is very much appreciated!
Donna G says
While I have absolutely no use for this myself, the Teen Life Center would probably love to have one for their teen moms. Thanks for keeping it simple.
Alicia says
I agree! Thank you for the simple entry. I SO appreciate your blog, its my favorite! Anyway, what a great giveaway! It would be awesome to win this as I’m expecting our 3rd child in about a week and a half. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Stacy says
I agree…thank you for the simple entry! We recently became foster parents to a newborn after getting rid of all our baby gear and are trying to pick up a few items here and there. Would love to win this!
Amy says
I love the polka dot pattern-too cute!! And can I just say thank you for just allowing an email entry and not a “follow me on every social media network known to man, share this post, retweet, etc for extra entries”. I almost always avoid those giveaways. Thanks for making it simple 🙂
Andrea says
Simple is my goal for everything — life, food, clothes, schedules, and yes, giveaways 🙂
HoosierMom says
Yes, yes, yes!!!
Liesel says
I have had this on my list since the last giveaway you had for it! It’s so pricey, though I’m sure it’s worth it. I hope I win this one!!!
Andrea says
have you tried looking on Craigslist or eBay? I found our first one on Craigslist for $40!
susie says
I hope I win! We are expecting our 7th baby in April. I never like a whole lot of baby gear… trying to figure out what I want for this baby I went and reread your last post on these bouncers. Gulp- the price is high! Too bad I cant find a used one! But I think I will be ordering one anyway.
Andrea says
WOW!! congrats on baby #7! I know the price is really high, but I honestly would NEVER recommend such a pricey item if I didn’t 100% feel it was worth it. I have been promoting this bouncer in my blog and in my life LONG before BabyBjörn ever found me and decided to do giveaways with me. Of course, keep looking for a used one, but if that doesn’t work out, I honestly don’t think you’ll regret purchasing one! maybe you can use it for future babies #8 and #9 — LOL 🙂 If not, I know you’ll be able to sell it again!
Ronda says
I would love to win this and give it to a friend.
Priyanka says
I am so excited about this giveaway. We are expecting our second baby in April and this will be so perfect if I win
