LOVE this lounger!!!
We have had it since 2018. This is our second child to use this same lounger!!! It is seriously a life saver! We used it with out 3rd child while we lived on a sailboat and with our 4th baby now that we live in a cabin. It is still soft and perfect for baby! My older kiddo slept in this till she was at least 18 months old. Now our little peanut can use it. I will say the velcro has warn out a lot, but surprisingly some how still sticks after all this time and tonnnsss of washings. I've washed the cover and the pillow itself, who-knows how many times. For an infant is truly works better to have a folded small blanket in the 'hole' for their bum. They are just too tiny at first, and I have big babies (9 lbs at birth). But shortly after you won't need to do that, and it's truly not a big deal. I thought that stretchy material in the middle would wear out super fast, but it hasn't. It definitely isn't as nice as it once was, but after 4 kiddos, 2 of which have used this exclusively, and two others jumping and playing on this pillow, I am amazed at how well it has held up. I've never personally had problems with the zipper, like I've seen on some other reviews. Ours has been fine. Like I've said, we LOVE this lounger and it is so perfect for our family!!! Would recommend over a normal horse-shoe type baby pillow ANY day! (Though you can buy this one pillow and a different cover and have two pillows in one if you wanted!)

Tears of Joy
I just purchased this at the recommendation of my friend who has a 6 month old baby that was premature and has severe acid reflux. Her baby has been sleeping in this lounger for months. Fastforward to my 7 week old who will only sleep in bed cuddled up to me. I barely sleep because I dont want to roll on her and my back is breaking from being tensed in odd positions. But what do I do? She will not sleep in the bassinet, crib, pack n play or even the cosleeper. I have spent hundreds of dollars on sleep items. So here we are and I skeptically bought this lounger. My daughter loves this! She quietly had let me lay her right down in it. She has less gas after her feedings and she is sleeping right now while I am awake in shock and disbelief. My only regret is that I didnt buy this sooner!

Perfect for reflux problems
This is wonderful.Very well made.I bought it for my baby girl who it's severely delayed. She has no trunk control and very little head control. She spends a great deal of time laying reclined.She also has severe reflux and is tube fed 24 hrs a day.This was perfect. It puts her at a good angle and keeps her snuggled in.I only wish I bought it a long time ago because she is too long for it now. Her legs hang off the end. We rolled up a blanket to keep her legs up. That works fine as she does not move around.She is 12 mos and 29" long. So you have an idea how it fits.We will donate this 1 and buy her the toddler/child size soon.

needs to have separate covers & stronger zippers
Received this as a baby gift and as a lounger it is a must have. Baby loves it, I love having a safe place for him to hang out. But it's ridiculous that you can't buy replacement covers. The zipper completely broke off ours and now it can't be removed or washed. Because there are no replacement covers, even knockoffs, we're buying another one for a minor reason which is really wasteful. (Another baby retailer does sell a cover but it only comes in pink, which isn't helpful.)Bottom line, we love it BUT the zipper needs to be reinforced much much better or have a two way zipper, and absolutely need replacement covers (even just to use while one is in the wash!)

Excellent buy, one of our most used baby items.
Both sons loved this pillow and 2 year old will still lay on it to this day. Very useful as a feeding pillow and safe space for baby to hang out. Both my sons overheated easily and would get too hot if I tried to hold or cradle them during bottle feedings. My oldest is autistic and never liked being held, period. If I tried to snuggle with him, even as a newborn, he would arch his back and cry until he was put down. This helped him to still be comfortable and secure while also providing some airflow to his backside to avoid sweating.Something to consider:Please make sure you pay attention to your babies head shape on a regular basis and alter the amount of time spent on this pillow accordingly if a flat spot or other issue presents itself. As long as you are encouraging enough tummy time and not allowing them to lay in one spot for too long, all should be well. Because of our sons hatred of being held, among other issues, we allowed him to stay laying on this pillow more often than we should have. He never slept on it, as that is not recommended or safe, but he spent a lot of his awake time in it. After several months we did note a change in his head shape and worked with his pediatrician to help correct the issue. In hindsight had we made him do more tummy time and moved him more often this could have been avoided all together. Our sons situation wasn't caused by pillow, but rather our actions and excessive reliance on it. Just thought it was worth noting so others can be aware of the consequences of overusing a product such as this one.

Buy This After your baby grows out of the Boppy Pillow
Just what I needed. My baby is a week over 3 months and has pretty much outgrown the original boppy pillow. She can still fit in it, but she likes to sit up and look around and she kind of slides out of it. At this point I don't like for her to sit in the boppy pillow without me right next to her. This podster is perfect! She can sit up and see everything while being supported on all sides. She will probably be able to fit in this for 2 more months or more. The bottom can be let loose as she grows which is perfect for her to sit up at a slant. I love this thing and I'm so glad I found this. Also, the podster is a little bigger and much deeper than the boppy pillow so it won't take up much room. I've deemed this pillow as an essential item for the next stage of her life.
