Bouncer (or bouncy) seats generally consist of a frame made of thick metal wire, tubular metal, heavy-gauge plastic, or wood. Covered with a soft (and preferably removable and/or washable) pad that conforms to a baby's shape, bouncer seats are usually springy and bounce or rock when a baby moves to keep him relaxed and amused. The fabric seat is rounded to support a baby's still-fragile spine, and the semi-upright tilt gives him a view of the surroundings. 3, record 5, English, - bouncer%20seat
