Fisher-Price Deluxe Monkey Bouncer

Wonderful Bouncer!
I bought this because none of the other bouncers seemed to 'cradle' a newborn. The little lamb bouncer is almost identical to this in appearance and comfort but does not bounce - it's stationary. This is the best of both worlds because it is very cozy for a new baby yet has the ability to actually bounce (you have to use your hand to make it bounce - it's not automatic). Also, while both the little lamb bouncer and this bouncer have a vibrate feature, the little lamb shuts off after 10 minutes. This bouncer's vibrate stays on until you turn it off. My daughter loves to be bounced on a yoga ball and it was killing my back and I can bounce this aggressively enough where it simulates me bouncing her on the ball.
Save your money-don't get the rainforest version!
Like many, we registered for the rainforest bouncer b/c the baby bargains book said it was the "best". We recently bought this one for when we visit my parents house. It was fairly affordable and seemed to offer similar features to the rainforest (both have music, lights and vibration). If I had to register all over again, I would opt for this one over the rainforest bouncer. I like the toy bar on this one much better. It offers a variety of toys that each make a different sound and can be manipulated. They toy bar height is high enough that an older infant can reach for the toys, pull on them and inspect them. The height also allows us to easily place the baby in and out of the seat without removing the bar. The rainforest toy bar sits much lower-essentially lap height, and the toys can only be twisted. Most of the engagement or hype with the rainforest version is passive, eg looking at the twisting waterfall or the moving monkey. If you are choosing between the two, you won't be...
Love it!
We had a Fisher Price bouncer for our daughter 3yrs ago and decided to buy another for our little boy. It's a great bouncer! Nice vibrating feature that soothes a cranky baby and bright colors to keep him interested. I don't see why the previous reviewer gave it only 1 star. The legs are suppose to be spaced out...that's how it works! It's no different than any other bouncer we've seen or previously owned. It's absolutely worth the money!
