3.5 month old hates the Baby Bjorn bouncer

My 3.5 month old baby girl gets antsy and frustrated when I put her in the Baby Bjorn bouncer. She can’t sit still in there even with the toy bar. She will just squirm and complain until I take her out. It’s close to £200. Should I return it? I just bought it. Will she like it eventually? I also have a Fisher price swing which used to calm her and put her to sleep but not anymore.
Should I try anything else? What about the Bumbo seat? The only thing she seems to like is being carried in my arms without the carrier and I get so tired. Is there another brand of bouncer that’s good?

Persevere - it’s honestly the best thing I bought my baby. Absolutely loves it.

Never saw the point of a bouncer. Swing, then jumperoo at about 5 months, and something like the fisher price sit me up seat at 4/5. My babies never wanted to lay in a bouncer!

@Laaalaaaa that’s what I heard too! Everyone seems to love it but my baby doesn’t. She doesn’t make it bounce either. We have to bounce it with our foot.
