baby bouncer recommendations?

I'm chalking it up to my running throughout pregnancy - my baby is a bouncing MONSTER!  If he is awake, he has to be bounced or else he's fussy! (the burping pat helps too)  I can't get him to sit in the swing or in a still place for more than 10 minutes, and that's if I'm lucky.

Never occurred to me before to get a bouncer.  What do you ladies recommend? Something reasonably priced would be ideal, but I want something that works well too.

Re: baby bouncer recommendations?

  • I have the rainforest bouncer. My little guy really likes it. It has music and lights. I got I as a shower gift but it's pretty cheap at Walmart, maybe 50 bucks

  • This one is similar to what we have. They just changed the style a bit. We had it with DS and he loved it. DD is starting to like it too. She likes it way more than our swing. https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=10755528

  • Check craigslist or a consignment shop--some of those things are never used, and you'll get one for less than half price.  The rainforest one is good, I have the aquarium one and DD1 liked it.  We haven't used it with DD2 yet

  • I have this one (in a different pattern, mine came from Buy Buy Baby) and while my little one isn't here yet, I would still recommend this one because it actually bounces. Most bouncers don't actually bounce. I have put it together and tested it out and I think it is so cool and I expect baby to love it (and I have worked out my entire pregnancy too, so I fear I'll have the same kind of baby, lol!).

  • I, too, have a Bright Starts Ingenuity bouncer like katie0919, but mine is a little different.  I'm not sure if it is just a different pattern or has anything different on it.  I originally registered for the one she has, but then we found this one and I liked it better.  I'm still waiting for LO to arrive so I haven't used it yet, but I think it is very cool that this bouncer actually bounces (while most others just vibrate).  It is supposed to bounce and mimic how we bounce our babies when holding them.  It also has a setting to bounce like a heartbeat. It also has music and nature sounds.  Here is the link to the one I have:

    LO loves it...he's asleep in it right now in fact! Also, it's really reasonably priced :)

  • My little guy loves his "My Little Lamb" bouncer by Fisher Price.  He loves to be warm and snuggly, but also has to be entertained by the music and vibrating! He's not a fan of the swing. This bouncer has been worth its weight in gold! I highly reccommend it!

  • We could not live without our bouncer, he's also asleep in it right now. I bought a Fisher Price one at a consignment store for 13.00$. It vibrates and we usually just bounce it with our foot until he falls asleep. My little guy loves loves loves it when I hold him and bounce on my excersise ball. He falls asleep almost instantly that way. I spent the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy bouncing on the ball, maybe he remembers it? We have a ball downstairs and upstairs in the bedroom just for this.

  • We have the Bright Starts Comfort & Harmony bouncer. LO loves it, it's his favorite place to sit/sleep :)
  • We have the My Little Lamb bouncer...it's the only thing LO will sleep in. She loves the vibration & music. We even put it in the bed with us at night, since she won't sleep in the Pack n Play or Arm's Reach co-sleeper.
