Elvie Introduces $799 Smart Baby Bouncer That Converts to a Bassinet
The Elvie Rise, unveiled at CES 2025, offers app-controlled features and meets safety guidelines but faces questions over its high price and limited use period.
- The Elvie Rise is an app-controlled baby bouncer that can transform into a bassinet without moving the baby, designed for infants up to six months old.
- It features 'SootheLoop' technology, which records and repeats a caregiver's bounce pattern, and includes a manual mode for baby-powered bouncing.
- The product meets American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) sleep safety guidelines, offering a firm, flat mattress and breathable fabrics for safe naps and nighttime sleep.
- Priced at $799, the Rise is significantly more expensive than traditional bouncers and bassinets, raising concerns about its affordability given its limited usage period.
- Elvie, known for its femtech innovations like wearable breast pumps, aims to address parental stress around baby soothing and sleep with this new product.
