I bought a basic one from Target...forgot the name, for $30. It vibrates and has toys that hang from the top. I started her in it at 4 weeks (2 weeks ago). She obviously can't play with the toys but the vibrating soothes her and she likes to be rocked to sleep in it. So much easier to tote around than the swing
We have 2, both vibrate. One goes with our porta-crib, the other is the snugga-puppy bouncer (we also have the matching snugga-puppy swing) he has used them since week 2.
We got an ingenuity bouncer, it has a weight thing on the top so it has a nice soft bounce. We got it when LO was a few weeks old and introduced it right away, it's been AMAZING! She's not a fan of the swing but she loves to bounce. It's also a great angle. She just loves it. So happy with it, and it's not outrageously priced. It was like 50 bucks at babies r us.
