Bright Starts Playful Pinwheels Bouncer

Product Information

Instead of struggling with screwing in hardware, the Graco model features a simple clamp that won’t leave marks on your door frame. The clamp design also means this can easily be repositioned or moved to different rooms so you can always keep an eye on your baby. Operated by a digital touch display with a built-in speaker, it plays a selection of eight sounds including white noise and classical music pieces. It’s also Bluetooth-enabled, so you can send through your own playlists from your phone. We used the pre-loaded sounds at first but the speaker quality, while good enough for me, didn’t quite measure up to his father’s very strict standards. Your baby should never sleep in a bouncer.

This is the bouncer I most wanted to get into myself; it looks so cosy and cocoon-like. If Jasper could talk, I’m fairly sure he’d agree - he never protests when I put him in it.

One of the biggest benefits to a bouncer or swing is that it frees up your hands — and arms — so that you can accomplish other tasks.

Some babies develop blue baby syndrome. Here's what you need to know, including how to treat and prevent it. READ MORE What really sets this one apart is its multi-functionality. It can be used as a manual bouncer for when they’re small (with the newborn inlay) then eventually, with the harness removed, a comfy chair for toddlers up to the age of three. This was my favourite aesthetically; a gorgeous unit that blends into the room like a piece of furniture and is designed to mimic a leaf swaying in the wind. Somewhat ironically it’s actually the heaviest, so while it feels sturdy it’s not particularly easy to move around the house or travel with you.The classic jumper design becomes portable with this freestanding update from Jolly Jumper.

We put six of the most popular baby bouncers and swings to the test with our son Jasper, now seven months old, from when he was newborn to now, in a variety of settings and when he was in a range of different moods. This included during and after feeding, when he was watching baby sensory videos and when he was just hanging out with me as I was doing chores. I judged them by their weight, how easy they were to manoeuvre, how fiddly the harnesses were and most importantly of all: how much Jasper seemed to like being in them.
