Hello
I was just wondering if any of you lovelies had any experience of either of these two products? I want something that is usable from birth and have narrowed it down to these two - happy to consider any other amazing suggestions! Mother in Law wants to give this as a present but wants us to specify.
Exhibit one is the Beaba up and down rocker chair.

I like the idea of being able to raise the baby up away from the floor a bit. We have a lovely, sweet, affectionate jack russell who once he recovers from the shock I anticipate being most interested in welfare of the baby (currently keeping a very close eye on fat me) and generally trying to do his best doggy clean up operation on baby at every turn - i.e. licking. I'd like to be able to raise her at least mostly out of reach some of the time otherwise I'll be permenantly cleaning the a baby after the dog every time I turn my back (he'll stay off her while I've got my eye on them but will be unable to resist a sneaky once over if I say go to answer the phone or the door..) So, I like the idea of this one for that reason and also because for example while eating we can have her up more at our level etc. Also I can raise it up when she's not in occupation and avoid any small doggy person trying to keep it warm for her..... BUT looks a bit bulky and not that easy to take visiting for a morning say.
Exhibit two is the Babybjorn Babysitter

Suspect this one can be got cheaper elsewhere but just using the link!!
This one I like because it is easy to fold away and light for taking places with you. The obvious drawback from the above is that she would be more within doggy range all the time and he may try and occupy if it is vacant (JRs like to snuggle, it looks snuggly).
Anyway, anyone have any experience of either of these? Sorry for long ramble!
