About IBP
We are based in the UK, a beautiful place called Lincoln.
Warren lives with his wife and children. He is a designer by trade, graduated from Manchester University nearly 20 years ago as an Interior designer. For the past 10 years he has run his own surveying business. When the recession hit, work dropped and like most people in the world Warren had to adapt. Being married and a father to four beautiful children, Warren decided to think out of the box. For over a decade he had experienced the same issue with all of his children, he decided to solve this issue, three years on, We are now ready to sell the Deluxe Bounceroo, AKA Gerry in the UK & U.S.A. with the ROW to follow.
The story of Gerry
You have your new born baby lying in a bouncy chair, car seat, rocker or Swinging Crib and your baby is fast asleep. You’re rocking / bouncing them but you as the parent have to do this, either by hand or by using your foot. Your other child then calls you, the telephone starts ringing, the doorbell rings, you want the toilet, you have to prepare and cook the evening meal but you’re rocking/bouncing your baby to keep them asleep. You know if you stop your baby wakes up, this is where the Deluxe Bounceroo helps. Gerry is there for those small times during the day where you have to be in two places at once. You attach Gerry to the car seat, rocker, crib and he rocks / bouncers your baby for you.
You’re visiting your in-laws, going to the restaurant and your baby is in the car seat, your baby starts crying but you want to enjoy your meal, you start rocking the car seat using your foot, instead you switch on the portable Deluxe Bounceroo and he rocks the car seat for you, freeing you up to enjoy your meal. The Deluxe Bounceroo is a fully portable product and if you need to take Gerry with you, we also have a carry bag that you can buy as an optional extra. When you lead a hectic busy lifestyle, just having that extra half an hour in the day while your precious little one sleeps, means you can do other things, play with your other children, house work, and have five minutes to yourself. Sleep deprivation is a major issue with any parent in the 1st months of having a baby, being able to have a short break is a huge comfort.
Over the past 3 years, this project has been funded from help from friends and family but money stretches only so far. We have tried to design most things ourselves, Gerry, business logo’s (including Warren’s 4 children), Website and packaging.
BOUNCEROO LOGO
We would like to fund further testing, manufacture even more Gerry’s and other products. We will then be able to supply Gerry to new and existing parents. Tooling is currently under way, with testing being completed in April / May. We’d like to be able to buy additional units of Gerry to sell but we require further money to complete this.
To Date we have completed the following
Looking forward to the future, we have other characters that we would like to develop and bring to the Bounceroo family, as well as other versions. We would also like to have our own range of baby equipment but this will be in the years to come, we have to start walking before we can run.
Looking into the future of the Bounceroo & IBP
Functions
Gerry has been designed in such a way that he’s very easy to set up. He uses 4 x D batteries, fully portable, free standing. Safety is one of the main considerations, as well as functionality, ease of use. If the neck or body is pulled too much, the join from the head to the body comes apart at the Velcro joint (anti-ligature feature). The same feature also applies to the optional extra neck extension.
Gerry has been tested using an 8lbs weight and he works up to 6 weeks on 4 x D Type Duracell batteries using our recommendations ( 3 x 30 minutes in any one day – lowest speed). Any additional weight or increase in speed will reduce the life of the batteries. If you do have any other queries please write to us info@innbp.co.uk.

No, Gerry requires 4 x D Type Alkaline batteries. He has been tested with standard Duracell batteries and can expect up to 6 weeks use, using our recommendations of usage i.e. 3 x 30 minute intervals in any one day, at the slowest speed. Any additional time or increase in speed will reduce the life of the batteries. (Testing using 8lbs weight).
The current version of the Bounceroo has the following functions:-
Gerry has a brushless motor for reduced noise, Timer (0-30 minutes) you can choose from 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes and 30 minutes. 4 x Speed settings, which you can either increase or decrease. Lock function, if the button is pressed for 5 seconds, this locks all the functions so little fingers can’t change any of the settings. Battery Indicator, when you first switch the unit on, the timer LED’s will light up indicating how much power the batteries have left. Auto switch off, when the unit isn’t used for long period of time the unit will switch off. Weight restriction, if Gerry is pulling more than the recommended weight limit of 24lbs ( total weight ), he will switch off.
To add stability to the unit when used on different surfaces and bouncing different weights of baby.
You can use Gerry on swinging cribs but you would have to purchase the neck extension as an optional extra. If you pledge £80.00 or more, this will be included with your product.
Yes you can. At the base of Gerry’s neck is a Velcro opening and within his neck is a clasp, you can use this to make his neck longer or shorter helping him to fit the many different types of baby apparel i.e. car seats, swinging cribs, baby rockers, bouncers, mosses baskets etc. All baby apparel has to be non-motorised and designed to rock or bounce. He won’t work with car seats, mosses baskets that have a flat bases.
We hope so! We have to start somewhere and Gerry is a fantastic character to start with! We have so many other cheeky characters but the Bounceroo has to become a success for these to be unveiled and launched.
