Advice re: bouncers, swings and jumperoos

Don't kill yourself researching these. Every baby is different, some hate what others love. My only advice for a swing is to get one that plugs in. Otherwise, save boxes and receipts and plan on exchanging things a few times until you find something your child loves. When you do find it, life is so much better!

LOL ditto, but don't stress about a swing that plugs in.  Out little lamb swing does not and with twins and daily (and nightly) use, we have changed the batteries once.  Plus, during Sandy and other storms, we could use it without power!

And buy used - craigs list is the best!!

Ditto, we never had to change the batteries in our swing either.

You will be surprised at how quickly all this "gear" just gets outgrown and packed away!

The plug in ones usually take batteries too  My old Rainforest can plug in or use batteries.

We had the Little Lamb before we got a Snugabunny and it destroyed batteries. We replaced them approx once every 3 weeks. Our daughter used the swing for naps, but not at all at night.

The Snugabunny takes batteries OR plugs in. The motor was also significantly quieter.
