Red Kite Bambino Bouncer Bounce Chair with Elephant Pattern

Product Information

Our parent tester Luci had some difficulties installing the music box to the Red Kite Cozy Bounce, however this accessory includes music and vibration options which are a positive addition to the bouncer, especially given the budget price tag. While the soft grey colour palette is modern and attractive, Luci felt that monochrome or contrasting colours on the toy bar would have made it easier for her baby to see. Suitable for babies from birth to 9kg (approximately six months of age), the Red Kite Cozy Bounce with built-in head support makes a soft and comfortable bouncer for occasional use, with a secure three-point harness and non-slip feet.

Yes, thanks to its practical wipe-down fabric, the Red Kite Cozy Bounce is relatively straightforward to clean. Not surprisingly, given the bouncer’s budget price tag, the seat fabric isn’t the most luxurious we’ve seen, however the soft wipe-down fabric is practical and relatively easy to spot clean as required.

About Mumsnet Reviews

While we understand that being without your pram is inconvenient, we do not have any capacity to provide a pushchair or pram lending service. Little Angels Prams act only as a go-between, your warranty is with the brand who manufactures your pushchair. Lucy has reviewed a wide range of baby bouncers over the years and as such is well versed to recognise the key features that are beneficial to parents.

The Cozy Bounce includes a detachable toy bar with coordinating toys that include rattles and teethers for fun play and aids your baby's sensory development. The easy to operate musical and soft vibrate options allow for soothing relaxation while napping. Luci found that, with quite a small screwdriver head (the only option she had available during testing), it was difficult to get some of the screws in fully, so a mini crosshead screwdriver would make assembly easier and more efficient for you. Although you’ll need to have a screwdriver on hand as one isn’t included with the bouncer. The Red Kite Bambino Bouncer Elephant Parade features a generous and comfortable seat with three-point crotch harness. Suitable from birth, its lightweight frame design is perfect for new-born babies with non-slip rubber feet. Part of Red Kite’s linen collection, the fabric, whilst not particularly luxurious, is practical, and can easily be wiped down and cleaned as required. The seat is lightly padded with an extra soft padded insert that offers comfort and support for younger babies. Is the Red Kite Cozy Bounce Linen safe and stable?

Red Kite Cozy Bounce - Linen

Yes! Overall, the Red Kite Cozy Bounce Linen is a safe and stable bouncer for babies, especially considering its budget price tag. That said, it’s lightweight, weighing only 2kg and Luci says, “You will need to keep an eye on older siblings who could potentially make it tip by leaning on it.” Luci says, “While [my daughter] didn’t nap in the bouncer [which isn’t recommended anyway], the Red Kite Cozy Bounce was useful for short spells where I needed to put her down.” Our parent tester Luci mostly used the Red Kite Cozy Linen bouncer in the bathroom, allowing her to have a bath while her baby was close by. The lightweight design made it very easy to move around her home, and while there’s no carry handle or wheels, it was easy to move one-handed while Luci carried her baby in the other.

The Red Kite Cozy Bounce Linen is recommended for children up to six months. Our parent tester Luci felt that, given the space, a baby could outgrow the seat before the six-month mark, depending on their size and the amount they move around. The Red Kite Cozy Bounce Linen, unfortunately, doesn’t fold flat, so while it’s lightweight, it’s less suited to travel than some of the lie-flat options such as the Baby Bjorn. We will arrange for the manufacturer to collect your pram from your home within 5-7 days free of charge, or you can drop it off at our store if preferred, and we’ll arrange collection from there. Luci also found the music unit challenging to attach to the main frame of the bouncer. The bouncer doesn’t include test batteries, so you will need to add two C batteries as part of the setup. Most of our prams and pushchairs include a manufacturer’s warranty. This means that for the time period of the warranty, if something goes wrong you are entitled to request a repair.Suitable from: Birth to 9kg (approximately 6 months) | Fabric sling removable and machine washable: Handwash only | Additional features: Toy bar, vibration and music | Dimensions: 50 x 50 x 57cm | Weight: 2.3kg | Batteries required: Yes What we like

The headrest offers comfort and support for babies. But, as mentioned above, our parent tester Luci found the positioning too high for newborns and non-adjustable, so the bouncer may be more suitable for larger babies. A small or premature baby simply wouldn’t be tall enough to reach, and with no newborn insert and a fixed recline, this may cause your baby to slump down a little in the seat. Does it have any extra features? Introducing the Bambino Bouncer from Red Kite. a generous and comfortable bouncer that is suitable from birth. Another great idea for your baby to help them have lots of fun and aid in their physical development is a baby door bouncer. As your little one grows, they'll instinctively push against a hard surface with their legs to build strength and find their feet, and these bouncers are the ideal way to help them out with this crucial phase. They hang securely from a door frame via a clamp - and if you'd prefer a free-standing design you're in the right place for those too. And to help them take their very first steps, a baby walker is the way to go. The non-slip feet are a great addition, ensuring the base doesn’t move on wooden or tiled flooring. Our parent tester Luci used the Cozy Bounce on both carpet and slate and the bouncer stayed firm in its original position, despite some fairly enthusiastic bouncing, under supervision, from her five-year-old to test stability. With a soft grey colour palette, an accessible toy bar and a choice of vibration and music modes, the lightweight and budget-friendly Red Kite Cozy Bounce Linen bouncer offers comfortable support for your baby at playtime.

Luci, a mum of two, tested the Red Kite Cozy Bounce Linen bouncer for a period of four months with her newborn baby, who was just two weeks old when testing began. Despite its fixed recline and non-adjustable headrest, this budget-friendly bouncer comes with some impressive features that make it excellent value for money. It’s important to note that the toy bar detaches quite easily, so this should never be used to carry the frame. What’s the Red Kite Cozy Bounce Linen like to use day-to-day? During playtime, the easy-to-reach toy bar and hanging toys offer excellent sensory entertainment, while the optional vibrate and music modes can help your baby settle down and relax when they need to.
