Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer Review

If you’re looking for a bouncer on a tight budget, but don’t want to skimp on fun features, then the Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer could be perfect for your family!

SAFETY | Doesn’t Lack in Safety

For a simpler baby bouncer, the Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer is very comparable in safety features to higher-end products. The build is very sturdy and made of a flexible metal frame. A deep seat also ensures that baby doesn’t slide out. It also comes with an adjustable three-point harness that is wide and supportive. Floor grips are also another great safety feature, preventing the bouncer from sliding across the floor.

The Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer is very comparable in safety features to higher-end products.

One thing to always look for with baby gear is if manufacturers are complying with safety standards set by either the government or independent organizations. These are also known as mandatory and voluntary safety standards. The bare minimum that baby gear manufacturers have to meet are mandatory safety standards. Still, make sure that the company you are buying from says they meet these standards. Also, independent organization safety standards are just an added bonus, something the manufacturer went the extra mile for to prove they have an exceptionally safe baby product.

The Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer meets mandatory safety standards set by the U.S. Government, specifically complying with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These standards are designed to provide protection against harmful interference in baby products that have any electrical features. Another great point to keep in mind when buying anything electric that will be used with or near your baby!

A downside to the Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer is the lack of ergonomic design. Although not a big downfall, the seat doesn’t support proper spinal support, so be sure your baby doesn’t spend extended periods of time in the bouncer and has an equal amount of tummy time.

COMFORT | Simple Comforting Features

Comforting features are included with the Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer. It’s made with plush fabrics, soothing vibrations, removable headrest, and a cradling design. The fabrics are soft, bright colored, and include many different textures for baby to play with and enjoy.

A vibration setting is included and will gently bounce the bouncer for baby. Some parents claim the vibration setting is a little too much, but on the other hand, a lot of babies seem to enjoy this setting.

A great feature with the Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer for smaller babies is the removable headrest. This helps for newborns or smaller babies that don’t have great head control. It is a hook-and-loop design and is easily removable by unsnapping it from the main bouncer portion.

The seat doesn’t recline, which is a downer but does seem to be at an optimal height that still allows baby to see the action going on around them. For babies with acid reflux, the seat is at a great reclining position to ease their tummies and help them digest their food. It does provide a cradling design that provides good support for baby while also helping them feel secure.

EASE OF USE | Pretty Darn Simple

As far as easy-use goes, you probably won’t find many bouncers as simple as the Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer. It’s made of easy to clean materials from top to bottom. The removable cover is machine washable on cold and is able to be hung dried or tumble dried on low. Just wipe down the toys and frame if they get dirty with mild soap. The very detailed user manual explains how to clean each piece, as well as giving great instructions on assembly and disassembly.

Size

The Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer assembles quickly and is not very bulky. Therefore, it won’t take up a lot of space in your house, but it doesn’t have any easy storage option like some bouncers. In order to store it for tight spaces, it needs to be disassembled. However, because of easy setup and take-down, it won’t take long if you need to stow it away or travel. The user manual even makes disassembly easy with detailed instructions.

Performance

For a simple bouncer, the Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer comes with a nice number of fun features. Entertain your baby with 7 melodies that automatically shut-off after 15 minutes. Even better, there are two different volume tones (quiet and loud) to provide the right level of entertainment. 3 C alkaline batteries are needed for the vibration and song unit (and of course they aren’t included…Finding a toy that has batteries included is like finding $50 in your jeans pocket!).

Vibration and music features

A nice feature for mom or dad is that the toy bar is easily removable with just one hand.

Two bright and cheerful toys are included on the toy bar of the Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer. In addition, they are easily reachable for baby’s cute little arms and are also made of a nice soft fabric. A nice feature for mom or dad is that the toy bar is easily removable with just one hand. This makes it super easy to get baby in and out of the bouncer without a fuss.

PRICE + LONGEVITY | Can’t Beat This Price

Longevity

Longevity for the Bright Starts Toucan Tango Bouncer is pretty average compared to all the baby bouncers on the market. It is able to be used right from the start of life up until baby is 20 pounds or is able to sit up or get out on their own. So, it’s easy to say that the lifespan for this bouncer is around 4-6 months. Many parents have claimed that they’ve been able to use it with multiple children in their family, which does go to show that it is a durable little bouncer that stands up to heavy use.
