Getting a baby to sleep can be one of the most frustrating things a parent must endure. Most notable is the endless bouncing to soothe them. Thus, cue my KidsII InGenuity Automatic Bouncer review.
I don’t know how many times I have had to use a ball to bounce my kids to sleep. As both arms are used to bounce away, I imagine what my hands could be doing: the laundry needs to be folded, a pile of email needs to be read, and the dishes need to be washed.
Bouncers seem to be a solution to our sleep deprivation woes, but most require the baby to kick for the bouncing to ensue. This is a great feature for motor development and cause & effect learning, but in the early days, we need more (especially more sleep.) Other bouncers offer a vibrating feature, but I don’t know many parents who can vibrate their babies to sleep. How is that a natural feature?
Having a bouncer that simulates the bouncing we do with great color choices (at Target as shown, or at other retailers in other patterns), at affordable price point ($49.99), with soothing & adjustable music, a movable play arch, and proper incline, it is no wonder I wanted to write and create TWO videos about the Kids II InGenuity Automatic Bouncer!

This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Kids II, Inc. I was provided the featured product free of charge to facilitate my review. However, I was not compensated for my time in creating the videos and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Currently holding a 3 week old I just bounced to sleep… Ugh, could totally use one of these!!
Warm blanket, bottle and hold him tight.
I soothe my baby to sleep by rocking her in the rocking chair my husband built (okay, put together with instructions LOL) for us! I just know she would love this bouncer! Thank you for the opportunity and all your hard work!
So cool! Would love to give this to my friend who just had a baby
After watching the video, you said you wished the bouncer had the ability to change out the toys. I agree =)
I had a glider that I rocked by daughter in
soothing music and lavender lotion help alot
Right now I am soothing her by rocking her and cradling her close to me. It doesn’t always work! 🙁
to get my baby to sleep, i typically rock him/her in the rocking chair and hum quietly.
By singing and rocking 🙂
i always rocked my babies
that the toys were detachable
i just put my child in his crib and he falls asleep alone with no worrys
I nurse my son to sleep, most of the time. Other times, I will carry and sing to him. Thanks so much for the giveaway!
This product would be great with a place to plug in an MP3 player.
Humming while I walk around, bouncing and rocking 🙂
I swaddled my kids and then rocked them in my arms.
I nurse him to sleep.
We soothe by nursing
I rock and sway and it could have nightlights
I rock my baby to sleep 🙂
I nurse my baby or put him in a swing.
I love everything about it It looks easy for my son to relax it 🙂
My baby always loved the baby swing to get to sleep. But first, a nice bath with calming baby bath 🙂
by “Shhhing” and rubbing the back. swaddles help too!
I swaddle him and hold him
Smooth rocking back and forth- I think I’d fall asleep too if someone did that to me!
Soothing music and rocking.
Rocking and singing Hush Little Baby 🙂
bottle and rocking
I cuddle and hold, and rock my baby until she settles down, if that doesn’t work a short card ride usually soothes baby.
After watching the video, you said you wished the bouncer had the ability to change out the toys
I use the baby swing.
Haven’t had them yet .. I am due in 12 days with twins =)
I nurse him 🙂
you wish the toys could be changed, swapped.
I give him space to fuss a little, but after a few minutes I always go back in, hold/pat back to soothe him and kind of “reset.” Usually he falls asleep on his own, but this is how I handle those nights that are a little more “rough.”
I rock and sway
Sometimes driving around the block a few times help.
Thanks for the chance.
A warm bath and swaddling.
I always rocked my first born. 🙂
I am going to have a baby in december, so i guess i can tell you later

I usually nurse my son to put him to sleep.
In the video you mentioned that you wish the toys could be swapped out.
rocking him to sleep and/or his mobile soothes him
I rock my daughter to sleep.
In your video you had said that the downside was that you wished the toys were removeable and you could change them, but you did say that you might be able to clip some on
We rock in the rocking chair 🙂
your video says you wish you could swap the toys out
swaddling and lots of cuddles. I wish it had the ability to plug an ipod in, but it still seems like an amazing bouncer!

By rocking her

I walk with him and rub his back – this would help save my arms for round 2

Changing the toys would be cool on this bouncer.. Like you said in the video!
I put my guy in his swing to sway him to sleep.

Swaddling and swaying has always worked for me!
i rockk her and sing softly.
I sang them you are my sunshine
I swaddle and then rock them.

I talk about my day softly because I can’t sing!
I do a body message
you would like to change out the toys on the arch
Singing
My daughter likes to have her back rubbed to go to sleep.
sweet lullabies
you want the arch to be able to have attachments for other toys
Each baby was different. Amber rocked chest to chest. Charlotte was more of a side to side bounce. Baby #3 is due in January and I hope to win this for him!
Rocking in our rocking chair.
You wish the arch had the ability to swap out the toys. I agree. It is also nice to just have them removable to be washed easily.
Great Review!
Sometimes we have to go for a car ride..
Love that song!
That’s a good point. It may up the cost but it would be a nice feature to have.
Congrats!!
Always a classic!
Those times are rough but I like the ‘reset’!
Nothing better!
Wow! Congrats! I wish I was giving away two!

rocking our baby to sleep in our arms
My baby isn’t here yet, but as a former nanny, I’m a big believer in “The Five S’s” from Happiest Baby on the Block, especially the swaying/swinging movement and shushing. It really works!
My baby isn’t here yet, but we will probably rock to sleep.
You wish there was a way to switch toys.
Nice bedtime bath, gentle rubs and reading books.
Rock her in her stroller or by holding her!
Go for a car ride sometimes
