The aden + anais range  comprises of beautiful baby essentials, designed with quality and functionality in mind and the new 3-in-1 transition Bouncer + Rocker is no exception.  The seat provides three different ways for baby to bounce, rock and sit as as they grow, seamlessly transitioning from bouncer to rocker to seat.

Designed to keep baby safe and entertained through different developmental stages, it includes a luxurious cotton muslin cover and toy bar featuring 3 Jungle Jam print toys. This stylish bouncer/rocker is perfect to suit any decor plus, it's lightweight - weighing under 4.5kg - so is portable when moving from room to room.

We were very happy to receive the aden + anais 3-in-1 transition seat. It arrived in a single box and was already assembled. It comes with an instruction book, which explains how to transition the chair between the three modes.

It is covered in a lovely light grey striped muslin fabric which is very soft and comfortable. The chair comes with a newborn insert attached, which can time some time to get used to, as you need to slip the shoulder straps though the hard plastic shell at the back. However, this wouldn’t need to be done too often, unless when washing, it is not too much of an issue.

It also comes with a toy bar with three jungle-themed soft toys which are very sweet and attach easily to the chair. We tested the seat mode on my 7 month old daughter and were pleasantly surprised. In comparison to the baby chair we currently have, this allows the baby to sit almost fully upright, far more like a highchair which is great for babies who are able to sit up, meaning this chair can be used for far longer than the traditional baby rockers/bouncers.

We found the straps very easy to adjust and connect and my 7 month old loved being able to sit upright and see what was happening around her. The seat mode has two recline positions, which was not clearly explained in the instruction manual (the recline button was highlighted but not explained), but it was easy to figure out. The seat folds flat very easily for convenient storage too.

Overall, we really like the aden + anais 3-in-1 transition seat, particularly given it’s very high quality and suitability both for newborns and older babies and would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable, safe and aesthetic baby seat.

I was very kindly gifted the Aden & Anais 3-in-1 bouncer & rocker seat after enrolling in a competition that Natural Baby Shower hosted on Instagram and I am in love!

Not only is this chair super-stylish and the quality is very high class, it has a neutral decor that matches my home interior very well. The chair rocks and bounces and goes from newborn right up until toddler age so this chair can transition with my little one as he grows. It has a bar with 3 cute animal toys at the front to entertain my infant.

Nevertheless, I am in love with this bouncer/rocker seat for my little one and very grateful to NBS for gifting me this.

Wow, where do I start?! First of all, the delivery - it arrived within 3 days, SUPER speedy and it was very well packaged and practically ready to use straight out the box, close to no assembly. It came with an instruction manual which was really simple and easy to follow.

The seat is suitable from newborn up until the age of 2 (maximum weight 13.2kg), so has great longevity! It provides an ideal place for playing and relaxing during baby’s transition from infant to toddler and it features a 5 point safety harness.

The seat is bigger than most other seats but with our first, we bought and tried a few different ones, all of which were very small and very flimsy which he soon outgrew. This one has a much bigger frame and it’s very sturdy. Although the frame is bigger, it’s not too big that it is in the way but if you find that it is, it folds down practically flat. So it can easily be stored away until it is needed again.

You can certainly tell it is of a high quality. The design and the colours are absolutely beautiful and very unisex, which I love as it can be used again if you have another baby. It also matches my living room perfectly! It’s a very modern and stylish looking seat and the fabric is so unbelievably soft, especially the head rest. My little boy Eli looks so comfy in it, do they do the seat in an adult size?!

The fabric is removable and machine washable which we all know is a must when it comes to baby’s!

The toy bar is easily removed so you are able to put baby in and take baby out easily and safely, where as quite a few other brands do not have a removable toy bar or a toy bar at all for that matter. The toys are lovely, very eye catching on both sides for baby and at a height so that they are able to reach easily.

My little boy Eli has been enjoying this product now for 5 weeks. We really can’t fault it and can’t explain how much we love it.
