compared to the Bjorn Baby Bouncer which I know is 3xs this price, does this bouncer provide CORRECT support for baby's head, neck and back?

This is just a flat, canvas back, travel bouncer that doesn't "bounce" much. If you're looking for something more technical and supportive, this is not the chair for you.

I don't know compared to the Baby Bjorn, but compared to the Fisher-Price Rain forest Bouncer, it's the same type of support.

For me I wanted to keep the sleeper strictly for sleep at night to kind of teach her that when she's in that she's to sleep for awhile lol so I still use the bouncer for play time. Even though the sleeper rocks it doesn't make as much movement as the bouncer when the baby kicks and moves. I use the rocking feature if she wakes up and just needs a little rocking to go back to sleep. I think having both would be beneficial depending on how you plan on doing things with sleep.

NOT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BIRTH. It can be used gradually/depends how the child likes the bouncer.

I've been using this bouncer for nearly 2 months and my baby has a perfectly round head.

The bouncing depends on the child using it. The springs are firm but the child weight will help offset the firmness. Both my sons have and are using it and both have it enjoyed it very much. There are three height adjustments to allow the toy to grow with the child. I think it has really helped with the development of their leg strength. My older sone was walking before age 1 and my other son just turned 9 months and it well on his way of doing the same. The safety of it is also very good, whereas it won't tip over which allows you to put the child in the exersaucer and do other things with the child nearby. If I needed to, I would definitely buy another one without a second thought. The bouncing depends on the child using it. The springs are firm but the child weight will help offset the firmness.

Yes it will accommodate a newborn, but the head will still need extra support!

Yes it has that vibrating feature and the baby is always reclined to the angle you see in the pic. She sits very comfortably in front of the tv or even on the table and cannot sit up out of the seat. The rubber pieces actually keep that bouncy so firmly stuck in position that I have tripped over it on the floor numerous times. It just doesn't move. It is a very good buy. I had her in it from birth. Easy to assemble and the fabric can come off in 5 seconds, toss into the machine and has not faded at all.

It's not super padded on the head but most of the bassinets I looked at weren't either. I used a yellow foam bath pad on the head area to add softness--the type you use to keep babies from slipping in the bath but I also didn't use this rocker until he was a couple of months old and had head control to move. If you're looking for something for a newborn, I'd recommend the FP Rock n' Play Snugglebunny. It's ideal for newborns and very soft. We used this Portable Rocker after he outgrew the snugglebunny since it's larger with a higher weight limit.

3 of my grandchildren have this sleeper & all 3 still loved their bouncer as well . I think the bouncer is good when they are awake as they can kick their legs more & play with toys etc .They use the sleeper more for sleeping & absolutely love it ! � Hope this helps you.

Yes. I bought this for my son when he was 6 weeks old. He was around 10lbs and 22 inches at the time. It provides support for his neck and head. He wasn't very interested in the toys at first, but they are starting to get his attention now. I recommend it if your child prefers sitting up like mine. However, my son holds his head up pretty well.

I didn't end up using it as it didn't really help my baby. Also, the fact that it shuts itself off after 20 minutes is not ideal. However, the vibrations seems quite strong, although I'm not sure in comparison to the "bouncer with vibration". It did seem to vibrate as much as the bouncy chair with my graco swing/bouncer if that's a helpful comparison.

No. The back is not adjustable so that is why it is not good for newborn baby.

I bought it for my son and he absolutely loves it. Doesn't find too much bounce back. Hope this helps.

The baby can make it bounce when it is big enough to. I found this bouncer wonderful!!! gave me so much spare time, could sit baby near when I got house hold chores done. Some times baby would fall asleep from the automatic bouncing.

Yes, one of the main functions/purposes for this item is to prevent flat spots on the back of the head in infants. It also comes with a neck support piece, but we never used that (my son was born with a fairly strong neck and did not need it). We used the other Boppy version with our first child after the pediatrician noted she was getting a flat spot. Used this version with our second child from the start and he never developed a flat spot.

Our newborn has fallen asleep in this before, and he was ok--but it's not made for napping. It's a great chair for playing, bouncing, and what we use it most for is just a chair (that bounces) when baby watches us prepare dinner or do other things at home. The reason it's so great is because it supports a newborn / baby's head and let's him see or watch what's going on. This is by far the best purchase we made--even though it's not really for napping.

It is comfortable. It has a back side with some support. I do not think this product needs padding. My child loves the product. Music, not so much. When my child wants the bouncer, it is usually a good amount of time. I see nothing wrong this this product. I believe my baby loves the bouncer. I think if the baby cannot touch the ground, it will be uncomfortable even with 'padding'. Children will get bored of any product, so having different type of toys will help. I do not believe there is a "one toy / bouncer / play ground" that will entertain a baby for a long period of time. It is comfortable. It has a back side with some support.
