Re: Swing/bouncy seat?

We had one swing and 2 (actually 3 bouncy seats)

We had the fisher price swing that you could plug in...never had to change the batteries. Loved it. I got by with only one swing.

We had 3 bouncy seats. All Fisher price calming vibrations. I liked that they weren't bulky. We used them ALL the time! I would for sure say you need 2. Once the babies were a little older we used them to feed them their bottles. I either left the 3rd one up in our bedroom or downstairs in our finished basement.

If I could pick over again I would pick the fisher price rockers instead of bouncers. You can stabilize them, rock them or even put the vibration on. These also grow with the child.

Also, My boys never took to the swing so it was a waste. Try & get one 2nd hand until your sure.

We have 2 of these! They love rocking and playing with the toys, but the vibrations never did much for them.
We also use 2 different swings (handed down from family) so we can switch it up a bit for them.
We feed them in the rockers, in the swings, in highchairs... anywhere convenient! Chat Icon

We have the Fisher Price Snugbunny that plugs in. Both twins still love it. Also, I have the Graco swing that requires batteries. I would not recommend getting one that doesn't plug into the wall, because you will spend a fortune on batteries.

I had 2 swings, 1 from my shower and someone happened to lend us one so it worked out great! Both of them loved the swing. We also had 1 bouncer and 2 of the fisher price infant to toddler rockers, which we still use at 18 months!

I have the fisher price fold n stow swing (adorable animals print). My boys love it and I still use it to help get them to nap sometimes. My in-laws have the snug-a-bunny swing which they don't love as much because it's a cradle swing (maybe they are used to the open top swing because I know it's gotten great reviews).

One of them loved the bouncy. The other hated it. I used it till maybe 4 months. We still use the rock n play. This is e only way I can get one to nap. We rock him and he eventually falls asleep. Love the rock n play.

I preferred the swing! My girls both loved it. They hated the bouncy with a passion. I needed up getting rid of the bouncy and getting the infant to toddler rocker and they loved those

We registered for the bunny and another travel one. We figured we could bring it if we went to my parents or ILs (not that we plan to go out much). Would you recommend just having 2 of the bunny swings?

Swing/bouncy seat?

We have two bouncy seats and to me this is a must. They used it up until 6 months old but then started trying to get out of it. We put it in the attic yesterday that was a sad day. We have a Snugbunny swing they both still love. We also have a travel swing that they liked a lot too but once they got bigger they tried to get out of that too.
