Chair/Bouncer for nearly 11 month old

[justmewithmylifetoday]

Can anyone recommend a suitable comfy chair/seat for nearly 11 month old? His bouncer got put up in the loft a while ago as he outgrew it. He's 50th centile or so and in 9-12 month clothes so average size!

Before you say it, yes I know bouncers are for little babies and yes he shouldn't be In a bouncer at 11 months. Not necessarily looking for something that bounces just something comfy for him.

DS is high needs and feel having something to pop him in near us to settle rather than being held/settled to sleep would save our sanity.

We've looked at the Fisher price infant to toddler rocker.

Anyone tried the Fisher price infant to toddler rocker/chair?

Hi, I think I have one of these, do you have a picture of it just to be sure we're talking about the same thing?

What about a bean bag?

This one

@worklifebalancehelp I thought about a bean bag but he would just mess about roll off/crawl away unless strapped in haha.

I've got the second one. I got it purely because it went up to toddler/18kg so I didn't have to get another one as my son got bigger. It was great when he was little, although it doesn't actually rock which I didn't realise when I bought it and that's a bit of a pain, it vibrates instead. My son is younger than yours, he's 5 months, but also on the 50th centile and sometimes I look at him in it and I can't imagine him fitting in it as a toddler because he kind of fills it now. The back can sit up a bit, which is better as he is getting bigger as he doesn't like it reclining anymore as he arches his back like he's uncomfortable, but sat up slightly more, which I imagine you'll want at 11 months too, he's much happier. My son likes to be held to settle/sleep too, and he won't settle in the rocker for very long unless he has a toy to play with and even then it isn't too long. That's not to say your baby won't settle in it, just my experience. I'm interested to see if my son does still fit in it when he's a toddler though!

I got the Fisher price infant to toddler rocker back in 2017. Had DC2 earlier this year so got it down from the loft to re-use. My 5 year old sometimes sits in it when I'm not looking (not when the baby is in it of course). I can't say whether it would be comfy for an 11 month old (although I suspect yes it would be) but it seems to take the weight of my 5 year old. Mine only had 2 seat "settings" though. With the stand pulled out it was more for the newborn stage/baby is lying down. With the stand folded away/the "toddler" setting I guess it would be the child is still reclining they aren't sat upright. Halfway between lying down and sitting up. I don't know if anywhere has these things on the shelves e.g. Smyths or John Lewis so you could see it in person to get a better idea if you might like it.

We have the first seat from your pictures. Its very strong and a friend said her 3.5 year old still occasionally used theirs
