has anybody noticed that the bouncer can cause the baby to get a flat head?

Nope never noticed but any seat can do that or laying head down like that for long periods.

No, did not cause a flat head on my grandson. He wasn't in it 24/7 though. Maybe a half hour at a time.

If you leave a baby in the same position with any seat/crib etc against their head for a prolonged period of time on a regular basis, they will develop flat spots on their heads. If your baby is getting a flat spot, you are leaving him or her in the same position for too long. Try "tummy time" on a play mat on the floor instead.

I've been using this bouncer for nearly 2 months and my baby has a perfectly round head.

I bought this for my granddaughter. I don't think you would need a bouncer, also, but that is up to you. They use it in the family room next to the sofa and she is 7 weeks old now and has been very content in it.

No i think they are doing the same job. This chair is a bouncer. It moves with the natural body move of the baby. My son figured out very soon how to make it move by moving his legs rhythmically and he was very happy. I tried vibrating bouncers before and he rejected them all. But then every baby is different..

I have not had this happen one time. My baby has been in the head down position for weeks now, but is constantly turning right side up, etc...whether I am wearing the band or not.

Yes. It's angled more like an infant rocker sleeper, rather than just being flat.

When the seat isn't turned on, the metal frame allows the baby to gently rock the bouncer by moving their legs. When it's turned on, there are two motion features that can help even the lightest of sleepers to stay asleep. We LOVED this bouncer.

Yes, but it still bounces. Because the baby still makes the chair bounce, even in soothing mode. The chair will alwayz bounce as long as the baby moves...no matter what!

I don't think so . Usually babies slides neck since they born, however if you notice something difference in your baby, ask the Doctor what would be. The Noggin have a purpose just for those babies who has flat head.

I have not had any issues with this and my baby weighs 20 lbs and bounces like crazy in this thing. Maybe it isn't put together correctly?

Hello, I had the same question and found this answer on the page for the Bouncer Balance, hope it helps:

Yes, it does, but I doubt that there is a car seat in which this does not happen to some degree. I sometimes tuck in a blanket or a stuffed toy on the side of my kid's head and that helps to prop it up.

We made sure the baby could always touch her feet on the ground. She loves it. We were sold when we saw the video of the baby bouncing nonstop. Our baby is very entertained by the objects and sounds.

Definitely!!! My daughter had a pretty bad flat spot at 4 months we got the boppy noggin and the flat spot is pretty much gone! She's 5 1/2 months old now

Ours does that. I figured it was because it is adjustable it wiggled unlike non adjustable handled strollers. The kids don't seem to mind.

You do not have to use the bounce feature. The baby can make it bounce also.

I'm not sure, two of my kids used it & neither have a flat head. I'd check with your doctor.

Yes, mine bounces when baby kicks or when I tap it with my foot. The baby needs to be in it for it to bounce well
