2 labs/bouncer or rock n play?

I was wondering if a bouncer or a rock n play would be better with two labs running around?  They are 5 and 6 but not too crazy.  I have a pack n play in our bedroom upstairs for baby to sleep in. The nursery is downstairs, and I also have a swing downstairs in my living room.  I would like something portable to take into the bathroom or outside or just to hang out in other than the swing.  My concern with the dogs is that the bouncer is too low to the ground, and the rock n play is higher up and could get knocked over?  Any recommendations, or am I just over thinking this?  My dogs are pretty well behaved, but they are labs...

Thanks!

    Yeah I figured.  FTM here :)  I'll probably go with the bouncer then.

    We have both and we have 3 large crazy dogs in which one of them is a 3 year old lab. Im not too worried because I will be watching baby especially when dogs are around. We also already have security gates blocking rooms we dont want dogs in.

    I think it would take a lot to knock over the rock n play. They are pretty sturdy and don't tip easily. It doesn't have vibration so if your baby happens to like that, it is one downside to the RnP. I have both a bouncer and a RnP and have used them both plenty with my other two babies. You are right, a dog could much more easily step on the baby in a bouncer but I think there are pros and cons to both.

    Thanks MrsKatie.  That was my concern with both of them.  I just wasn't sure how tippy the Rock n Play was.  So maybe I'll get that :)
