Questions and answers

Which is better for a newborn?
Both work from birth. The LEAF Grow includes an organic infant insert and a 3-point harness for babies up to about 5 months. The Balance Soft has a fitted seat that supports the back, neck and head from 8 lbs.
Which lasts longer?
The LEAF Grow. It converts to a toddler seat and holds up to 130 lbs. The Balance Soft tops out at 29 lbs, roughly age 2.
Is the Nuna LEAF Grow worth the extra $130?
If you want one seat for several years and no batteries, yes. If you only need a bouncer for the first two years, the BabyBjörn covers that for less.
Do either need batteries?
No. Both are motorless. The LEAF Grow sways for 2+ minutes after a push, and the Balance Soft rocks from the baby's own movement.
Which is easier to move between rooms?
The BabyBjörn at 4.6 lbs. The LEAF Grow is 15.2 lbs, though its seat detaches from the base for storage and trips.
Can I use either for feeding?
The LEAF Grow has a lockable motion and three recline positions, which helps at feeding time. The Balance Soft is mainly a bouncer and play seat.
