Have you heard of the new Graco Little Lounger? I hadn’t, until just recently when Irina, (the owner here at I Love My Kids Blog) attended the Graco Little Lounger Event on November 7th (My birthday, how cool, right?) in Long Island NY. Irina told me about the fun party and how she learned more about the ways that the Graco Little Lounger can create valuable time for mothers with infants. There was an expert chef Antonetta in attendance who was preparing a yummy meal for the guests and provided some time-saving tips. Irina told me about the delicious Maple Pecan Salmon, Arugula and Pear Salad, Black Bean Salsa soup. Not only she loved the yummy food but she also told me that she was impressed how quick and easy these were to prepare and to make (Under 15 minutes mommy for me time) while baby is lounging in her Graco Little Lounger.
Since I’m due with my Baby # 2 in April, Irina gave me the perfect opportunity to review the Graco Little Lounger. I will say that this is going to be the perfect rocker for our new little guy!
Many of you have most likely seen something similar to this product. I actually use to have one of these similar looking rockers. But there was a large difference between the two.
The Graco Little Lounger comes with these key features:
-2-in-1: Rocking Seat + Vibrating Lounger
-Rock Locks-transform the rocker into a stationary vibrating lounger
-Soft plush fabric
-Multi-position recline makes it easy to keep baby comfortable
-Sunshade to keep baby protected from the sun OR toy bar with two soft toys keeps baby entertained
-3-point harness keeps baby secure
The one that I had previously did not have rock locks. It did not have a vibrate option. It did not have soft plush fabric. It did not have a sunshade or toys that hung down for the baby to play with. It did not have the multi-position recline. My daughter was only able to be in the rocker we had for about 2 months only. She had gotten too big by 2 months and was learning to scoot down. She would get scrunched up and cry til I took her out of it. If the one I had previously had a recline, I wouldn’t of had that problem. So I am so happy of the awesome features this rocker has from my previous rocker!
In this picture above I have put a circle of where to recline. Simply push the button towards you and pull the strap if you want it up. If you want it down then just push the button and take your hand and push on the inside of the Little Lounger. It’s simple and convenient. Especially for those babies who spit up all the time!
My favorite feature is for sure the reclining position. I think this new baby will enjoy having and option of being able to lay down or sit at a slight incline position. Since I live in an apartment, space is surely limited. This is what the baby will sleep in at night for his first few months right next to his Mama, if he wakes I will attempt to rock him and hope and pray he’ll stay asleep. Chances are he’ll just want a little snack though! 🙂
Look at the picture above…doesn’t the fabric look so soft? I will tell you for a fact it is very soft and if I was big enough I would definitely sleep in it!
The Little Lounger folds up making it easy and quick for traveling, moving, and storing around the house. In the photo above it shows that folded up it fights behind the tiny space behind my chair. All you have to do is click the little white button that you see in the picture and it will fold up easily-and stay up.
It stands all by itself. Making storage easy!
Once we put this together my daughter thought it was for her. She is a funny little one. But it’s good to know that big kids love it too! She was a little distraught when we took it away form her and hid it so she can’t get in it.
The Graco Little Lounger is great and I can’t wait for our new baby to use it! It’s features are amazing and well put together. They do sell the Little Lounger at the following stores:
-Exclusively available at Babies R Us in the Caraway fashion
-Exclusively available at Target in the Dakota and Elm fashions
-Exclusively available at buybuy Baby in the Astoria fashion
-General line and specialty in the Ardmore fashion
Graco even has a Facebook and Twitter page if you want to check them out!

Total must-have for me…had to give up our vibrating bassinette due to recall, but that was the feature both kids really responded to.
Hope we win!
I absolutely LOVE how little it folds up to be. In a little house with 2 running around already that would be a huge plus when not in use instead of always taking up half the room. The vibrating/reclining options are nice as well.
I like that it folds up easily and takes very little space.
Great contest, good luck everyone 🙂
I love that this has a multi position recline available! I would LOVE to have one of these. We are about to have our fourth baby and I would love to have the baby off the floor and a little bit out of reach of my one year old. 🙂
I like that it folds up easily and becomes compact making it easy to store or travel with.
I love how it folds up so small would be easy to take with you when visiting family.
My 4 month old sleeps in one similar but it does not recline nor vibrate. He had had one since he was 2 months old. He is a preemie and was super super colicky. Being baby #4 I hadn’t experienced a crying baby like this before. He would not stop crying unless in my arms rocking in our glider. This was a godsend. He sleeps thru the night and if he wakes I just rock him back.
Just had a baby! This looks amazing! Would love to try it out!
**My favorite feature is the easy storage/fold up. We don’t have much room at all and our current items take up too much room!

I havn’t gotten anything for the baby yet kinda hard times for us right now. My husband just got out the army being medically retired. So were getting back on our feet now slowly but surly. And it looks easy to get the baby out cause I’m having a c-section. But it’s something I would love to end up buying if I didn’t win lol.
I love that it folds up when not in use
Besides the reclining feature, I love how easy it is to fold it up and store it. I also live in an apartment with limited space, so it will be nice to have something that folds up that small and can be stored away when not in use.

I have the Lounger in Dakota. My son sleeps in it every night since we were released from the hospital, so we never bother folding it. It’s the perfect height for next to the bed or couch. I had an emergency c section and his crib is upstairs. We lived on the couch for two weeks when I couldn’t go on stairs and it was a lifesaver. He’s now 8 weeks old and still loves it. The one thing I would change is the color of fabric on the mattress/pad thing. He spit up on it and I had to treat it a few times to get the spot out. All of his other “seats” (swing, bouncer, stroller, car seat) are darker, neutral colors or patterns that hide stains. I end up covering the pad with a receiving blanket tucked around it. I like this better than a bassinet and it’s much cheaper.
A few friends from my mommy group had to purchase it after buying a bassinet because their children had reflux and need to sleep on an incline. I’d say just buy this to begin with.
