This rocker is the best product in my life right now! It does everything I need a rocker to do and more! As a travel rocker I thought this may be a little flimsy I could not have been more wrong. It is extremely sturdy and practical and folds down so easily; we can pack it away at the end of the which is essential in our house as we have so many toys!
How did this product make your life easier?
The Chicco Pocket Relax moves easily from room to room with me allowing me to constantly have an eye on my baby. The option to have either a fixed or rocking base is great depending on what kind of surface I have it on. The ability to change the height at which baby sits is great too it means we can use this as a feeding chair when we go away instead of having to take a highchair when he gets to that age.
Would you choose this product to win?
I would happily choose this product over many others on the market. The quality is exceptional. The colour is neutral which is perfect. The ability to pack it down and take it with you twinned with the fact you can either have it as a rocker or fixed and change the height of the seat make this a winner for me.
What changes would you make to this product?
I do not have anything bad to say about this rocker. I am genuinely surprised I liked it so much. I do think that the design and quality of this product is excellent. The fact that it folds away and is still so lightweight makes this ideal for people with a smaller house or those that have to travel a lot.

I loved the Chicco Pocket Relax as you are able to pack it way into the carry bag and take it with you when you're visiting family and friends. It folds up small so isn't bulky and it’s lightweight too.
How did this product make your life easier?
It has made my life easier, as I have been able to get on with some jobs knowing that baby is safe and very comfortable. My son has reflux and needs to sit up for at least 20 minutes after a feed and so I can sit him on the rocker in an upright portion reassured that he is safe.

The one thing that stands out for me is that you can fold it up and take anywhere you go and it isn't bulky like some other rockers. It is also very handy that you can remove the cover and wash it as my son has reflux, so this has been very handy! Overall a very good product.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only thing I would change is to have it be able to do different degrees/levels of rocking. As I don't feel that it rocks enough. It can be a bit slippy, if it is on a carpet. But overall it is very good value for money, easy to use, grows with your baby. Great design and good quality. We use it every day.

This product is stable when assembled. The angle of the seat is easily adjustable with the flattest position being very suitable for my newborn son. Two clips are used to secure the straps which are easily adjustable and the fabric is wipeable. The fabric can be removed from the frame and hand washed.
How did this product make your life easier?
This product is easy to assemble and to fold away into the storage bag. I used the Chicco Pocket Relax at home, when we went away for the weekend and I also took it with me to a mother and toddler group so that my newborn son wasn't left in his car seat whilst I was supervising my older daughter doing a craft activity.
Would you choose this product to win?
I love the fact that the Chicco Pocket Relax folds away. It's great for taking with you when you travel but it's also great to pack away in the house so there's less baby equipment lying around. I haven't come across another baby bouncer chair that has this function and would definitely recommend this product to other parents and professionals who work with young children / childcare settings.
What changes would you make to this product?
The rocking motion is limited and my husband commented on this. I prefer to have the legs down so that the chair is stable so it didn't concern me.
