BabyBjorn is a name that many are familiar with when it comes to baby products. We were first introduced to BabyBjorn after our daughter was born. We were visiting friends and were admiring the bouncer seat they had for their child, it was more upright than others we had seen. This got our attention because our daughter had reflux from the day she was born til about 8 months old. She needed to be in a more upright position when being held, or in a bouncer. The more we checked out the bouncer, the more things we really liked about it. My sister very kindly got us the bouncer as a gift. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about it.
There is a new product available from BabyBjorn… a bouncer mini! I was instantly intrigued and wanted to know what the difference was between the two bouncers. There are definitely some changes, but we love it just as much!
The first thing you cannot miss is the size difference, it does have a smaller profile than the original bouncer. The bouncer mini is for newborn to 6 months of age, with a maximum weight limit of 20lbs. There are two different heights for the bouncer mini, and each has its own maximum weight so follow the direction accordingly. It’s very easy to change the potion from low to high. All you have to do is switch the poles to the – level or + level depending on what you want. The poles insert into the base, and remove form the base easily. The bouncer mini comes in two colours: silver, and light pink. The fabric used for the seat is 100% cotton, which means it is nice and soft.
I was incredibly impressed with how easily it was to assemble to bouncer mini. It took me maybe all of 5 minutes to get it put together. There are only 3 steps of instructions to follow. I love that BabyBjorn keeps things simple. It was a matter of putting the base and metal frame together, sliding the poles into place, and putting the fabric seat onto the frame. As the mom of a child who had reflux, I appreciate the fact that the fabric seat is easily removable and can be washed in the washing machine. All you have to do is loosen the two elastic bands from the base, and pull the fabric seat off.
My all time favourite thing about both the original bouncer and now the bouncer mini is that it is so incredible easy to bounce. You can bounce it with one finger, or just your toe. This makes it easy to bounce your little one in the seat. You do not have to be hunched down and bouncing them, you can sit up and just put your foot on it, it does not take much at all for the bouncing motion to start. Even my toddler was able to bounce the seat without much effort. There is also a toy bar available for the bouncer mini, it is bright and colourful, easy to attach, and little ones can easily spin the different toys on the bar.
The bouncer mini is exclusive to Canada and retails for approximately $160. They toy bar is sold separately. It really is the perfect seat to put your little one into and know that it is designed to safely hold your baby for you. The fabric seat has been designed to be ergonomic and gives baby proper neck and back support.
For now our bouncer mini is being used by my daughter’s baby doll when she wants to play. We wait until our next daughter arrives this fall. Are you expecting a little one, or know someone who is? BabyBjorn has very kindly provided me the opportunity to give a bouncer mini away to one lucky blog reader! This giveaway is only open to residents of Canada.

Disclosure: I received a sample of this product in order to facilitate a review. The opinions expressed are completely my own.
I would choose silver and I love the simplicity
They are such a sleek and classic design, it’s wonderful.
I’d choose the Pink and I love that it uses no batteries!
No batteries needed. Little ones learn how to self sooth. If you get a chance, google search some of the videos of kiddos learning how to bounce in these on their own. It’s adorable. Doesn’t take much for them to get it moving a bit and bouncing to soothe themselves.
I would choose Silver – it is so nice and sleek looking!
The silver really is my favourite too!
I would choose the silver and I love that it can be easily washed!
Easily washed is so important with kids. There is no way I am dry cleaning, spot cleaning, hanging to dry, or any of that sort.
i would choose silver and i like this because its so sleek and easy to store
i would choose silver! i like this bouncer because its small and easily stored
It really is the perfect size for newborn to about 6 months. The bouncer will not overwhelm a little one.
I would love a silver one!
Good luck Allison! I love the silver, it’s a perfect neutral.
I like the pink! and I love the easy assembly
Seriously, 5 minutes is really all it took for me to put this together it is so easy. When you have a newborn, that is a must. I do not want to be reading lots of instructions when I have post child birth brain.
I would pick pink , i love that it grows with baby and its great quality < would be awesome for my new Granddaughter that will be born next month , thanks for the chance to win !
a new granddaughter… how wonderful! Definitely the pink would be a must.
I would choose Silver and actually would LOVE to win for a friend of mine 🙂
Thank you for entering Kristen, good luck on winning for your friend.
I would choose silver! The design looks great.
BabyBjorn seriously makes the best bouncers! Thank you so much for taking the time to enter.
I would choose the pink one and I love the upright support this bouncer provides newborns.
The pink colour is lovely, perfectly pink. The upright support was a huge win for us with this bouncer.
I would pick silver. I love how compact it is and that it folds flat.
The compact part is amazing, I love that I can tuck it under the couch, or in the closet, and it’s easy to take anywhere.
I would go for silver, as I’d love to win this for friends who finally were able to get pregnant after 5 rounds of IVF. I love that it is washable! I had 2 kids that loved to puke, so being washable is a plus!
Being machine washable was huge for us too with our princess puke, and a HUGE WAHHHOOOO! for your friends that is wonderful news. Good luck Ashley on winning it for them.
This would be amazing for my family!
Best of luck to you Kim! I seriously love the bouncers from BabyBjorn.
I’d choose the silver one. I love that they are simple, easy to use and require no batteries:)
I would pick the white.
This is so neat! My daughter would love this, I had no idea it exsisyed until this post. I would definitely look at purchasing one if I don’t win one! So cool!
They really are the best Kate. Worth it for sure. If and when my sister’s have kids, I am either lending ours out or buying them brand new ones because I love them so much.
I would choose silver I wish they had more colors to choose from though line green or mint!!!! ❤️
I agree! I was so hopefully for a nice green or mint. I would have been all over the mint one. I know the full size, regular ones have more colour options, but they are bigger. Maybe in the future they will have more for the mini?
I’d love to win one for baby no. 3 due at the end of October 🙂
I like the Silver and love how easy it is to wash. This would make a great shower gift.
I wish I had known about these bouncers when my first baby was born. Our home is so small and the other voiced/swings take up sooo much room. I would have chosen pink the first time with our daughter but now that baby number #2 is a boy I would go with the silver.
I love how compact this bouncer is. But what gets my attention the most is the design. It is not the regular round boring bouncer, it is modern and fits my minimalist style. My color of choice would be silver 🙂
I love how flat this is when disassembled and how quick and easy it is to assemble. I would get it in silver.
I would pick a silver Bouncer MIni. I like that it is easily cleaned.
i think i like the versatility of the silver – boy or girl. As for the bouncer, mini, i really like that it’s adjustable to your baby’s size
I like the silver one. I would love this bouncer because I didn’t have one for my first baby and when we visited my sister’s, she was having so much fun in her cousin’s bouncer! I want one for my second baby.
I would choose the silver. I really like the sleek modern design. It is as much a piece of art as it is useful. I love that it would look nice just sitting in your home. What a great product
Love the silver color. I love how small and compact it is, would be so easy to take this on the go if need be.
Would love a grey baby bjorn for my
Newborn son!!! Great and safe way to keep baby while I have hands free for his big sisters!
I like the silver bouncer! I really like that it doesn’t use any batteries
I would pick a neutral colour as we dont know the gender yet of our little one 🙂
I love how its sleek and classy!! i also love that its not bulky !!! I would pick silver!! 🙂
I would pick silver and donate it to the hospital to help raise funds.
I would choose the pink, and I like that you can fold it down.
Would you say there’s a minimum age for using the higher seated position? I read that the lower setting is only up to 13.5lbs, and my 3 month old is 15lbs but doesn’t have full head/neck control yet because of his age.
Is there a cloth storage bag with this product? I was just wondering if there was something to store it in when not in use! Thanks
It does not come with any cloth storage bag unfortunately. You can easily take the bouncer apart and put it back into the box however. That’s what we have done.
