Yes, the seat rotates 360 degrees and the whole top bounces but not like a regular bouncer. I don't recommend this product because the 1st step was too small and we used a separate playmat. The 2nd stage was fine but my son was tall and grew out of it by 7-8 months and borrowers a regular bouncer from someone, the 3rd stage is super unsteady. The whole thing fell on my son as he was playing with it in the 3rd stage. My friend has it as we'll and had the same experience.

The seat does rotate so the child can play with the toys behind them. The "legs" have a spring in them so ie does have a little bit of a bounce but it is more of a cushion than for bouncing. Hopefully this helps.

Yes, the seat rotates 360 degrees. It does bounce and the springs are at the top of the pillars in the base.

The Baby Neptune rotates and doesn't bounce up and down like a bouncer. The inner harness holds the baby. Their feet touch the platform underneath and they can bend their legs and move up and down in their harness but the Baby Neptune itself doesn't bounce with them. Hope that helps.

No bouncing, but it is super adjustable and easy to clean. It will hold a baby as soon as the head is strong enough. My granddaughter loves it. I got it for her when she was only two months old and now at nine months she still loves it. Buying some additional springs to add it could be a bouncer as well.

Keep in mind that the Rumble Seat doesn't recline. I don't know that I would use it unless your baby can hold up their own head. I moved my older child to the rumble seat and put the baby in the main reclining seat. UPPAbaby probably has FAQ for the product on their website. I would check there for confirmation.

We were thinking the same thing. Our son is 8, and can hop on it but not really bounce. We just got it for Christmas so we were thinking the same thing, that maybe if just needs to be broken in, that its new and tight. Plus he's at the bottom of the weight capacity, I wanted him to be able to use it for a while.

I just got this for my 2yo and he bounces like crazy! When he's not using the handle bar, it doesn't lift. When he is using it, it tends to lift, but it hasnt' tipped over...... yet.... .LOL

I would wait till your little ones balance is more stable. For me this is not a toy for support when he or she is first learning to walk. I would suggest the sit an stand walker first. My daughter loved it. I am so happy for you! Your little one is starting to walk. Yeah!!!

It is on spring like things so it bounces when the baby moves around. My husband and I like to use our feet as we multitask :-)

The base can slide around, but we've had fun attaching a teather to it and dragging the horse around the room. When the baby bounces in it, it doesn't slide-if that's what you're asking.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

Hi Jialu Every wall of the playzone have rubber suction cups on the bottom to prevent movement. If the baby is super active then its definitely possible the playzone can shift a little but not a lot. Thank You

Mine doesn't either, but it doesn't seem to be a problem when the weight of the baby is in there. Mine is 22 pounds and she isn't going anywhere when she's in it, even though it does wiggle a little bit without her.

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.

No, the bounce it has is very little, and you really wouldn't want it to bounce like a Jumparoo once you see the little one scooting along in it! I found the little bounce it did have to be pretty stiff, and I don't think it should be listed as a primary function of the toy.

My daughter LOVES it and has since she got it for Christmas when she was one and now she's almost 3. They can bounce and/or spin and she goes back to this toy more than any other. Hope this helps! Get one at walmart so you can take it back if they don't like it!

i put my baby in at about 5 months. once she was sitting alright. it reclines so it really could be from whenever you feel. it has an attachment for carseats too so really, you can use it since birth.

Yes, but it still bounces. Because the baby still makes the chair bounce, even in soothing mode. The chair will alwayz bounce as long as the baby moves...no matter what!
