I just wanted to throw out there that I had a kick n play with Emma (bouncy) and I got the Aquarium with Jeremy and that thing was SOOOOOOO loud. The noise that the bubbles and wheels inside made. I actually gave it away!! I am getting a new one for this baby.

Someone posted this on the reviews at BRU about the noise that it makes..and then others said that it doesn't work as great....hence my second thoughts....

I hope these responses don't confuse you more! Also did you check out Baby Depot? They had a HUGE selection of bouncers when I was there. BRU did have half the selection that Baby Depot had (I went to the one in Garden City)

I have the Aquarium bouncer and my son loves it (and he loves the bubble noises.... I know conflicting responses already!) He gets so excited when I put him in it.

I have the Graco Metrolite- I am very happy with this stroller overall. The only thing is that if you have the seat all the way down, you can't get into the basket underneith.

And as for the swing we have the Aquarium swing which again my son loves. He is in it right now napping away. I have no complaints on this swing at all.

You can view parent reviews online from Baby Bargains. Here is the link Parent Reviews

this is what I got:
Stroller: I also didn't like anything from BRU. I got the Bumbleride Flyer
External Image

Bouncy Seat: I originally wasn't going to get one, but my mom wants to get him the Fisher Price Infant to Toddler Rocker, which is fine with me.
External Image

Swing: I had a hard time deciding on this and when I finially did, when I went to the store, it fell apart in my hands! So, at the last minute I decided on the Graco Luvin Hug swing since it has the largest weight capacity and also because the back can be ajusted.

Good Luck!

Oh, and I wanted to add that you can put the carseat on the BumbleRide because it come with a universal attachment, but I also got the Graco stroller frame for the infant car seat.

I know registering for these products it is a very personal choice and what may work for a child may not work for the other. I'm really geared toward safety. I read some reviews for some items and I definitely stayed away from it. Thanks for the responses and please keep them coming. Chat Icon

We got almost the same things, except we got the matching Oakwood swing- which noone actually bought us. So we'll see if Luca loves the little swing and if he does, we'll purchase the big one.

Since my stuff is outdated, I won't bother posting them. My only recommendation would be that for the bouncy seats, I preferred the Chicco one. The one I have they discontinued but it was the best one IMO. Very sturdy & had enough padding that they felt snuggled when they were in it.

I did check for safety. I made myself a Baby Gear expert - to the point where I knew every recall even if I didn't own the product. In the end, most of these are comparable in terms of safety. I used Baby Bargain & their website, Consumer Reports & Amazon's reviews too. In the end, the best advice I can give is to go with recommendations from BTDT of moms with 3+ months old & up.

I have the Ocean Wonders Aquarium Bouncer. DD LOVES it!! The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have head support. At the beginning, that was something I was concerned about.
