My son spent a lot of time in this bouncer. He absolutely had a blast in it. He laughed and yelled while jumping and cried when it was time to get out. He started using it at around 5 months and stopped around 13 months (only because he got too tall to fit in it)! The best part is that he has the strongest calf muscles I've ever seen on a baby, and he was walking at 8 months! This product was attractive, durable and easy to clean. The fact that it is totally portable also played a major role in why we chose this model. I loved it so much that my brother went and bought one for his son!
