Swing, bouncy seat or both

runningmango · June 2012

We have space for both but I'm just not sure we need a swing and the bouncy seat...thoughts?[Poll]

With DS I used both quite frequently. He loved his swing and when he was just chillin I used the bouncy. Then when he was too big for the swing I used the stationary jumper!

I registered for a portable swing but I wasn't sure if I needed a bouncy seat too. Guess it wouldn't hurt to register for both...

I chose both. But the swing i registered for actually can be either a swing or bouncer. Yay for dual purpose!

I registered for both.

We used both A LOT with DS. DS would only sleep in the swing at night for probably the first 4 months of his life. He would only nap in the bouncy seat (while I sat and bounced him) for a long time. Both were a life saver!

I'm going to buy both because we have 3 floors, and its more convenient to keep one on each floor. We'll also use an old bouncer from our youngest.

At first I will just have a rock n sleeper. I might get a swing after the baby is here.

I said both. DD hated the swing and loved the bouncy. You never know. Every baby is different.

I have both from DD1 and they were both very useful. At first DD hated the bouncer, but then some days she would hate the swing. The bouncer was also nice to bring into the bathroom if I needed to shower and she was awake.

Speaking from experience, definitly get both!

Both! The bouncy seat is so easy to move with you from room to room & the swing is soothing for some babies;)

The bouncy seat came in handy when I took a shower...I'd sit DD in it in our bathroom so I could keep an eye on her and play peek-a-boo if she fussed. I also used it at other times but remember the bathroom being a great place...

At first didn't register for the swing (because I thought my sister was going to give me hers)...but ended up buying one with the gift cards we had gotten...it was a lifesaver for naps...she wasn't great at being layed down in her crib for a nap...so would often use the swing as a place to get her to sleep...

As a STM, I say both. We kept the swing in the living room since it was bigger. I used the bouncy chair a lot for when I was showering so I could have DS right there. The bouncy chair is also very portable, so you can take it with you somewhere, take it outside, ect.

Can you share what it is you registered for exactly? We can't seem to find a swing that we really like, but found a bouncer. 2 in 1 would be great! Thanks!

I registered for both, because you never know which the baby will prefer. But for the swing I registered for a side to side motion swing because that is the more natural motion of the two swing options. So logically more comforting, but babies can be specific and particular. I was told I preferred the bouncy seat, but I was also a colic-y baby so that makes sense. I went for both just to be safe
