The Ultimate Guide To Choosing The Best Bouncer Seat

Is there any such thing as too much snugly for a newborn? I've never thought so, and I don't think many people are inclined to believe as much. That's why the My Little Snugabunny Bouncer Seat by Fisher Price won my heart. It's adorable and cushy and about as much soft, sweet and cozy as a bouncy seat can handle. 

At only 16 inches across this little sweetie is a sure bet for a small apartment or for taking on your travels. BabyBjorn held to its tradition of being beautifully simple while designing the BabySitter Balance Bouncer seat and its accessories. If you like clean lines and cool colors then this is likely to strike a positive chord with you.  

Don't let the price tag fool you- this thing is worth ever penny.

Or so say the reviewers. While many people had a hard time laying down the money, they've almost all found that this piece of equipment more than met their needs. 

The compact size isn't the biggest perk, though its narrow design and 30 pound capacity combine to make this one of the most compact baby bouncer seats around. The biggest perk is that this seat actually seats your baby. While most bouncy seats simply lay your baby at an angle with a slight impression for their little bottoms, this seat actually allows them to bend at the hips and lets their legs lay in a natural position. 

The quality of the materials is also a plus - less plastic and high quality fabrics make this a super durable bouncer seat. The mesh seat also removes and washes quickly making the BabySitter Balance bouncer easy to clean as well as creating the benefit of keeping  your baby cool and dry in the warmest of situations.  

We all love gadgets, no matter how modern or green we are. That's why the MamaRoo Infant seat is more than a bouncer seat and more than a swing and more than a gadget... it's a super version of all three, wrapped into one really, really, really cool package. 

This seat has five different motions, and that doesn't mean front and back vs side to side- we're talking COMPLETELY different motions. The call them the Car Ride, Kangaroo, Tree Swing, Rock-A-Bye and Ocean Wave motions and this contraption actually mimics all of the above. 

On top of that, it has an MP3 port with built in speakers that have great sound quality and comes with 5 beautiful nature sounds that are on long enough loops that they aren't annoying. 

And a really cool screen.

And it adjusts from laying your baby all the way back into a fully reclined position to sitting up.

And the seat zips and unzips instead of having to be wrestled on and off the frame.

And it has a plush seating option. And it has completely unique toys that were designed by real artist- not just monkeys and giraffes.

And it has a safety option that keeps it from turning on if the recline adjustment isn't locked properly. 

If all you're really wanting is a bouncer seat that will be a secure place to set your baby down and entertain them, then try the traditional, basic, Fisher Price Bouncer. It has great reviews for durability, is inexpensive and is very cute. 

Only thing to beware of is, like the Snugabunny Bouncer, the Fisher Price bouncy seats have a wide base that is easy to trip over or stub your toe on. Other than that, though, this little seat is a gem.
