Most bouncers are designed for babies between the ages of 5 and 25 pounds. You can look for the specific age recommendations on the packaging or instructions for the bouncer
Head Control
Babies should also have good head control when using a bouncer. This means that they should be able to hold their head up and maintain that position while in the bouncer. This will help them to stay comfortable and safe in the bouncer.
