Once again ours is a trusty Warehouse one that we got for $30 but we got free really as we had vouchers to spend.

But we had to stop using it when Olivia was around 3 months old as she just got to boisterous for it and we were afraid she would tip herself out.

But they are a great way for bubs to be entertained without you hanging on to them. We did not have any toys attached to ours - but she was still just as happy.

We've got a blue and yellow one with a duck on the seat (just so you know what to look out for in the shops and NOT buy!).  Ella likes the toybar across the front, and the 3-point restraint is good (though it doesn't look like it stretches out much further and she's still little, but it does look nice and comfy for her), but the design is rediculous, because it's permanently in a sitting position (holds her sitting at about a 30degree angle), so even with a head support cushion (like the kind you put in their carseats before they can hold their heads up), she just tilted over a bit.  And because it's permanently at that angle, she can hardly bounce it, because there's only really space for her legs to go up, which is tricky to do from that angle. 

I put her in a friend's old-skool-styles (but brand new... hey, there's a reason they still make them exactly the same!) crotchet one and it was heaps better - should've bought one of those!

Can you bend it back? Our was too upright so DH just used his man strength (cough.. splutter...) and bent it back so it lay flatter and it was great after that! Ours had quite thin metal tubing though so it may have been easier to 'bend' back.

These are the best things ever- mine was worth its weight in gold when DD was little. Was one of the first things we bought when we found out we were pregnant again...

We were given a rocker, but it wasn't 'bouncy' or 'rocky' enough to do any good and Ashlee seemed to slide down in it. So we promptly went out and got a $40 old-style crochet one like we had when we were kids. BEST EVER! We'd put her up against the foot of the couch and she'd kick and bounce herself. Sure, it's got no toys hanging off it, but you can put a playgym arch thing over baby.

We got one when Haleigh was 3 months old and wish we got it sooner as it was the best thing we ever bought, she was in it all the time, like when I was cleaning (as she loved to watch) or while we were having dinner etc. We got ours from H & J's in Nelson it was down from $100 to $70 it has a toy bar and a vibrate button to help soothe baby (not that we really used ti though).
It's so nice, blue and white gingham pattern with a big yellow duck on it.

LOL Angela, Haleigh used to get rough i hers to, but she loved it so much and would climb back in for more hehe so we didnt take her out of hers til she was sitting at 5months.
