Mamas & Papas is known for their line of high-quality toys.  We have a number of them at our house and have been very pleased with the appearance and durability.  The company’s bouncer promises to deliver that same level of quality. Designed for infants from birth to approximately six months, this Go-Go Rocker is free from the musical and vibrating gadgets that I dislike on many bouncers.  Instead, the child’s own movements create a gentle rocking motion.

The rocker features a head support for newborns, a padded safety harness, and a toy bar with three fun (but removable) Mamas & Papas toys.  The liner is reversible, so you can alternate between two different looks.  The feet can also be locked into place to keep the rocker stationary.

The Go-Go Rocker comes in a variety of color schemes. You can purchase this rocker on sale for $58.99 (roughly half the original price) at FAOSchwarz.com.

The Hoohobbers Infant Rocker Etoile is very pretty. It is available in a variety of prints and colors. What I like about this rocker is that it is light enough and portable enough to take along on visits to family and friends. Not everyone’s home is baby-ready.  With this Hoohobbers Infant Rocker you can set up your baby’s “area” and she’ll be safe and secure and happily bouncing. Baby can sit with the adults and be the center of attention while mom still has some mobility.

This rocker features a sling that cradles baby naturally like a mother’s arms. The baby’s own motion creates a smooth, gentle motion that is supposed to be more soothing than regular bouncer. The rocker also has a full, removable hood that protects baby from harsh light and wind, indoors and out. There are colorful, spinning characters on the removable toy bar that will engage your baby. Another neat feature is the rocker’s turn-down feet which can adjust amount of rocking, or stop it completely.

The Hoohobbers Infant Rocker is made of a solid polypropylene frame sling that measures 14″Wx24″D. All of its fabrics are 100% cotton and machine washable. You can also personalize the rocker with embroidery.

You can purchase this unique rocker for $78 at  maddiescloset.com.

Two high-end brands, Kate Spade and Maclaren, have teamed up to create this unique bouncy seat for fashion-forward babies and their parents.  Designed for infants from birth to approximately twenty pounds, the Maclaren Kate Spade Biarritz Rocker Bouncer is very modern, with a bold black, white, and red color scheme.  It is also made to be portable for parents (and babies) on the go.

The seat can be adjusted to a number of different positions and both the canopy and the toy bar can be removed.  If you and your little one are so inclined, you can add batteries to make the seat vibrate.  You can purchase one on sale for $89.99 at barebabies.com.  It would make a great goores.com for Kate Spade fans.

Here is a machine washable lounger suitable for little ones up to 18 lbs. The Oeuf Baby Lounger features a padded canvas seat (the machine washable part) that rests on its steel seat frame. I noticed this bouncer because it is so stylish. After a while our homes start to look like a daycare in every part of the house. It’s nice to have a piece of baby furniture that can “compliment” your home and even give it a little more style. Even without an animal print or bright primary colors, this lounger with two-tone coloring is very inviting and appealing to the eye.

The Oeuf Baby Lounger features 100% cotton outside, 100% polyester filling, with a satin chrome steel frame. It comes in Beige/Pink, Chocolate /Pink, Chocolate/Blue. Purchase one for $98 at pokkadots.com.

Does this style look a little too ”grown-up” for baby? I guess you can find flower and animal prints galore online or at the baby store, but I like this sleek, modern look. Actually, the bouncer itself is made from just one piece of patented natural Stylewood.

I like the idea of no connecting parts, no links or snaps or screws. It has a very natural look and feel to its design. It is also designed for safety and comfort with a five-point padded safety harness and soft, padded everyday suede seat. It’s suitable for newborns and babies up to 26 lbs. This would make a very elegant gift for a baby shower and sure to please with it’s unique design.

Dimensions: 16.5 x 33 x 17.5″

I could not have survived my son’s infancy without my vibrating bouncy chair. In fact, I had two, one for when my son was a little bigger and appreciated more stimulation (it had an overhead piece with ocean movements and sounds.)

The Pod Bouncer by Combi is much more stylish than either of the seats I own and it is certainly eye-catching as well. I like the colors (there are others available should mandarin not be your flavor) and the removable “friends” hanging just in baby’s sight range.  The design of this pod is genius; I can’t count the number of times we tripped over the legs of our bouncy chairs, as they protruded so much from the actual seat.

The canopy comes off, the sounds and vibrations are built into the pod, and there’s a storage compartment at the back of it. If the music included is not your cup of tea, there’s a handy MP3 feature. This pod strikes me as innovative design at its best and can be yours for $79.99 at csnbaby.com.
