Ingenuity Every Season 2-in-1 Baby Rocker

**see edits in the body of the review for explanations of why I removed 2 stars.** I got this for when my granddaughter comes over. She's 8 months old, though a bit small for her age (just like mine were), so she should fit comfortably for the next 2 years. The rocker seat seems very well made with sturdy framing and even strong points of connection. The seat fabric is mesh, which is great since temperatures are rising and summer is just around the corner. I hate to see a baby who's obviously overheating, and I don't want that for baby M! On the other hand, the rocker seat came with a seriously snuggly Australian sheep's wool mat, which is sure to provide non-sweaty warmth in the winter and act as a nice enhancement to tummy time. **EDIT regarding wool mat: I was reading all the details and familiarizing myself with the cleaning instructions, and my eyes almost popped out of my head when I saw that the wool pad/mat is DRY CLEAN ONLY... seriously? I'm a grandma. Which means I'm obviously also a mom. There are 3 humans on the planet who have hit me with all kinds of ooey-gooey, sometimes lumpy-chunky infant & toddler overflow (the cup runneth over... regularly). So I'm exceedingly familiar with what can be released from both ends of an itty-bitty kidlet... and as any parent also knows, it happens dozens and dozens of times. So with a DRY CLEAN ONLY MAT, we now have the opposite of "it pays for itself"... with THIS purchase, you get to pay for it over and over and over again, topping out at hundreds if not thousands in DRY CLEANING costs over the life of the seat. So be sure to figure that in if you're considering whether or not to spend over $100 on a (still very cute) rocking baby seat for your little one... or worse, buy it as a baby shower gift. If you do that, you'll want to include a Visa gift card loaded with money for regular cleaning costs... because diapers leak (or blow out), noses run, drool flows like a brook, spit-up happens (from a little leaky burp to a explosive display that leaves you temporarily stunned at the sheer volume a baby's belly can hold and then release like a volcano all over their cutest outfit and a DRY CLEAN ONLY SHEEP'S WOOL MAT/ PAD!!!), and of course, when a baby falls asleep holding their bottle, it always slips down next to or behind the kid and slowly leaks it's remaining contents on whatever it landed on... like, say, DRY CLEAN ONLY SHEEP'S WOOL!!) And that gave me cause to remov a star and a half... why didn't they just use fake sherpa??? So keep that edit in mind.** I love the cute toys attached to the secure-seat buckles and little "Nate the bear" peeking over the top, dangling from his detachable post. *(I'm having trouble getting the shoulder straps detached from the buckles so that I can move them from the lowest/starter slots to the middle slots... because the kid is growing and can't fit in the straps anymore. Gotta remove a star for that...)* All around, I think this seat is a good value, especially since it can last through toddler time and be ready to go back into infant mode should another grandbaby come along. Also, did I mention how cute (and a sleek decor non-eyesore)? I love it.
