Baby chair for my shower- advice needed!

My DS is now 8.5m and getting rather mobile. Up to now I have been putting him in his bouncer and taking him into the shower room (spacious) with me. He's usually happy to sit there and keep himself entertained while I shower. Yesterday he figured out how to wriggle himself out of the bouncer restraints and I don't think that's a safe option anymore.

BUT I can't seem to find any bouncers / baby seats with a 5 point harness.. I don't really want him crawling all over the shower room (he's at the stage where he's pulling himself up to standing but is unsteady on his feet).

I did consider an activity station, but the one i saw was not recommended once he starts to walk (which i think will be soon). Would appreciate any suggestions / recommendations!

Highchair? Or plonk him in his cot while you shower. I do this with DD2 who's 10m this week and she'll happily play with some toys/suck her thumb while I shower.

I have the Phil & Teds bouncer seat, which has a 5-point harness. The seat is actually a second child seat from their pushchair - and then you buy the rocking part separately. Might be worth looking at?

Can you borrow an activity station from someone? Plenty of people get given them as gifts and I know mine's just taking up space as DS only used it for 6 months. Ask around. DS's Leapfrog one kept him happy for an hour at a time!
