What is this product?

Lightweight infant bouncers and vibrating seats used from birth through ~6 months, featuring fabric seats stretched over wire frames. These devices are among the most-used infant gear — babies spend 1-4 hours daily in bouncers during awake time. The fabric is often treated with flame retardants and stain-resistant PFAS finishes. Vibration motors can accelerate chemical migration from treated fabrics. The compact, head-surrounding design creates a microenvironment that traps off-gassed chemicals near the infant's face. Many bouncers are passed down or purchased used, where chemical degradation has progressed further.
