Hi Mo,

They can vary due to the nature of how they are produced but I just weighed a couple of bodies that were 9.5 grams.

I love these seats as they are truly unique and there’s nothing else like them on the market.

Don,
That description sounds like the description of a brand new bouncing baby.

It so precious when you can hold such a wonderful bundle in your arms.

Darrin,

Thanks! you mean the entire item as pictured - the bodies and the screw nut? If so, that is incredibly lightweight. Bravo. Can you please confirm?

Also, are you planning on spinning as that should be even lighter?

And what $ for these? Love to test one out.

Thanks.
