Is this baby item worth it?

peytons mommy · June 2012

A cowoarker bought this for her last baby, and she loves it. She asked me if I wanted it. She is going to sell it to me for $100. I don't mind spending the cash, but is the item worth getting.

I already have a swing and a bouncer from my last baby, but this looks like it would really save on space (especially now with P's toys all over the main floor of our house. And traveling with it might be easier too??

What do you girls think?

DH and I saw it at BBB this weekend and both of us immediately went "wtf!" lol It looks awesome and I'm sure it works great but for the price it's kinda ridiculous. Maybe we're just jaded bc DS hated the bouncer and the swing so we got no real use out of either. I'd say, for $100 if it's in good condition and you sell your current ones on craigslist id go for it but definitely not at full price.

If you are going to keep the swing and bouncer, I see no use for this.

Exactly.

Exactly.

AGREED!

If you already have those things, why pay for something else?

I've heard it doesn't go fast enough for some babies to be happy in it. I like the concept but not willing to pay the price for that. I'm not even willing to pay for the snugabunny swing if the baby likes the bouncer we got as a gift. Our plan is to see if she likes the bouncer - if yes, then no swing purchase. If no, we borrow MIL's travel swing she bought and if baby likes that, we get the same one. If not, then we step it up a notch and get the sungabunny and hope it works. And of course, I'm checking craigslist! too bad they don't take gift cards. LOL!

We bought one off craigslist for $100 but the plan is to use it in place of a bouncer & swing.

We have a swing bouncer and mamaroo. We used all 3 and LO loved the mamaroo. We used it until he outgrew it at 9 months.

we got ours as a guft- never used yet. I think it would be awesome. However my younger 2 kids hated the swing- so I bought a bouncey chair for this baby. I agree with pp IF you have a swing and bouncy chair why buy this

I really wanted this when he was tiny! He loved car rides and being bounced.

We bought one with DS because he was colicky and we were willing to try anything. Not impressed. We took it back... But I'm sure some babies like it.

we have one and DD loves it. sometimes its the only thing that calms her down or puts her to sleep. if you already have a swing and a bouncer though, you won't really need it. we dont have either. also, it doesn't collapse or anything so its not really good to "travel" with unless you have a lot of car space or want to take it all apart/put it back together. and its pretty heavy. good luck!

DS didn't like that thing at all. It doesn't work anything like a traditional swing and goes very slow. I know some babies do like it, but if you already have those other things, I wouldn't bother with this.

Ours started making a really loud clacking sound after a few months and luckily the store took it back.

If you replaced a bouncer and swing for it it might be a good option.

My LO's favorite thing in our house is the $30 bouncer we have!

Exactly, you don't need all 3. We only had a bouncer and DS loved just that.
