ASTM F2167-19 PDF Download

The ASTM F2167-19 standard is intended to provide specifications, test methodologies, and labeling requirements for the safe use of an infant bouncer seat by both the occupant and the caregiver. This standard defines an infant bouncer seat as a standalone product meant to support an infant in a reclining posture, allowing for bouncing with or without the assistance of a caregiver. The targeted occupants are often between the ages of 0 and 6 months, when infants have not yet developed the capacity to sit up alone.

This consumer safety specification's primary goal is to reduce the risk of damage caused by regular usage, foreseeable misuse, or abuse of an infant bouncer seat. It guarantees that the product meets all of the standards' requirements, which include numerous safety measures, performance criteria, and testing procedures. The standard further states that any infant bouncer seat manufactured after the specification's approval date should not be labeled as compliant unless it complies with all of its standards.

It is important to note, however, that this consumer safety specification does not address accidents or injuries that may occur as a result of interactions between other people and the occupant of the infant bouncer seat. Furthermore, it does not cover occurrences caused by other children's misbehavior or abuse.
