baby bouncers

[icklekid]

Morning all, was intrigued by another thread looking for advice on essentials for baby on a budget that a bouncer came up a few times. I had presumed this was more a nice to have/luxury. Have since looked into it and can't believe the range in features/cost! Anything from £15-£150+ So I could use some advice...

Found thus basic model with good reviews

I'm not sure I can justify spending more than that unless someone can persuade me that one is worth it! What is baby doesn't like it?!
Thanks in advance.,.

We had the fisher price one for ds1 and it was great. We've bought the same one again for ds2. The vibrations seemed to send him off tp sleep and keep him asleep. I also sat him at the bathroom door in it whilst I had a shower, it kept him gappy enough for 20mins. Absolute essential in my opinion.

We have the Baby Bjorn one. Love it. Love that it flat packs too!

We have a second hand Fisher Price one similar to the second one linked.

DS1 & 2 both liked sitting in it - and it's handy to have somewhere safe to put a baby - but they both liked the dangly toy bar far more than the vibrating function.
