Do you like it? I read previous posts, but I also had some specific questions. Could you tell me how far does it recline? I am not able to see a picture of it reclined. Can a baby lay really reclined to sleep? I have a 7 month old who loves to sleep in her bouncy seat, but she is outgrowing it rapidly! I am hoping the baby Bjorn may work for us. Also, can the bouncer be bounced by the parent moving it easily? Thanks for the help!

No it does not recline completely (I would say it was at least a 30 degree angle at it's lowest position).
We could not use it w/ DD for a month or two because she would slump down a bit. For a 7 month old - if you put it in the lowest position their behind might be touching the floor!
The bouncer is fairly easy to vibrate w/ your foot for a small child - although somewhat inconvenient to do. For a 7 month old I think it would require considerable effort.
I really don't recommend this bouncer particularly for the money and the fact that your child is already 7 months old. I can't imagine my 9 month old DD sleeping in it - it's just doesn't seem very comfy.
Ours is gathering dust. I need to brush off the cobwebs and see if my DD will sit still for 2 minutes in it since it can be used as a chair so I can get some of my money's worth out of it!

I second that! We got it when DD was about 7-8 months... she was already used to the FP rocker and this Baby Bjorn doesn't recline all the way. Now we're trying to encourage her to sit in it the toddler way but it's hard to get in and out of. She'd rather sit on the bottom stair.
I think it was a waste of our money. I felt that the weight limits were a little on the low side, considering the price. I'll have to see if I can find the manual but by the time we bought it DD was at the upper end of the weight range and we didn't feel comfortable using it as a recliner (not that it lays down that great anyway). You should definitely try it out in the store to see how your baby likes it. Just keep in mind you can probably buy 2 or 3 regular FP rockers for this Bjorn price.
