Chicco is an established baby brand that has over 50 years experience making baby products and won many nursery awards for its variety of merchandise that ranges from pushchairs, car seats and cots to bouncers, highchairs and toys. Now, Mumsnet has introduced unbiased, independent, expert editorial reviews and recommendations into the mix as well.

She scored the bouncer on how easy it was to clean, testing this with stains such as milk and tomato ketchup.

Yes, the pads wash well on a gentle or wool wash and as they are synthetic they don’t take long to dry. If space is an issue the Hoopla may not be suitable for you, as it is, compared to other bouncers, on the large side – 45cm in length to be precise.

Assembly should have been very simple but the instructions made it look like there was much more to do. When our daughter gets a bit bigger I would imagine that her weight would gently rock her without us having to intervene. There are also four recline positions and this is easy to achieve by pressing both side buttons simultaneously – it is easy I promise.

The softly padded chair also provides a snug fit around your little one further enhancing their comfort. The fully adjustable 3-point waist harness has padding for baby’s safety and comfort and the non-slip feet make sure the Hoopla stays where you put it and your little one stays secure and happy. The toys can be positioned where your baby will benefit from them the most as the bar features the exclusive Chicco “ Slide Line system”.Yes, the feet are closer to the ground than other bouncers and it is less wire than other bouncers, giving it a sturdier feel.

It has the ability to switch between cradle mode and rocking mode, and its portable and lightweight design means it can easily be moved around the home or taken with you on your travels. It does come off pretty easily which in one hand is great as it means you’re not wrestling with clasps and things to get it off. The Chicco Hoopla Bouncer has a multi-position backrest that can be adjusted to help baby relax, for feeding or play and you can even use the Hoopla as a fixed position rocker or chair by folding the feet back using the controls at the front of the rocker. Most of our baby bouncers come with a removable lined seat, with a reducer for younger children, a harness with straps between the legs, and removable activity toys.

The Hoopla can also convert from a static bouncer into a rocking chair so you can rock and soothe baby when they need it most. Unlike some bouncers which have a three-point safety harness, the Chicco Hoopla has a five-point harness with a padded crotch strap. While we think this is a great addition, our parent tester Luci was unsure how much she would use this option stating, “Converting the Hoopla to a toddler chair was very simple to do, but it does seem small for a toddler. Our testing is best in class: we rigorously test each product in real-life situations with real parents and children to ensure it’s up to scratch. The toy bar is a great addition to the Chicco Hoopla baby bouncer, with three sensory toys that your baby can reach out to grab and touch, improving their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
