Bouncer (Bouncy Seat)

I'm not familiar with these exact ones, but yes, get one that actually bounces. I got one that I thought bounced and it just sat there and was really awful. It sort of vibrated but both my kids hated it and I hated it. Usually you can find just a cheapo that will do the trick but since you're limited I'm not sure. If you can't find it on line maybe if one of your close friends or family members asks what you want (cuz even though you're registered, people will ask!!) you could say you've had trouble finding a bouncer that really bounces. Good luck and hang in there...bed rest is probably tough, but at least you have new shows on tv for sweeps week! ;)

No, it doesn't bounce, it only vibrates. I like the ones that bounce because they learn that they can make it bounce on its own. They kick or swing their arms and they are rewarded with bouncing. Some also have a vibrator on them for putting them to sleep or soothing them. I liked this one:

It is also listed as a Top Seller on the Target website.

We LOVE our Fisher Price Precious Planet bouncer! Even at 16 months, my child will lay himself in it for a nap, he loves it so much. It has worked really well for us and I've known a few moms, that have loved theirs too!

I agree with Tori...get an actual bouncy seat. I had the same issue with one that just vibrated...That was fine for about 3 weeks and then, my son wanted nothing to do with it because it didn't really DO anything.
