We often get asked by new parents-to-be exactly what role a baby bouncer plays in the daily life of a new baby.

This week Michaela asked:
Is a baby bouncer/rocker really something that I will use? In between having a sling, baby carrier and pram – in what instances would I use a bouncer?

Baby bouncers and rockers are a wonderful way to sooth a fussy baby or occupy an infant for a few minutes. They can easily become a lifesaver for exhausted parents and a wonderful tool to help infants fall asleep peacefully. I recall my bouncer being a godsend in those early months when I needed to complete basic tasks like showering, domestic duties and even just to give my baby a break from being constantly held.    Babies need space just like the rest of us, and allowing them some “down time” in the bouncer in between feeds can be a great re-grouping opportunity for all,

The bouncers sold by bebe all differ slightly in the extent to which they bounce, rock, and provide additional activities for your resting child. Refer to individual listings for detailed information on features and benefits.

Summary of core difference in bebe’s bouncers:

The Oeuf Baby Lounger is very popular for the modern family wanting something very minimal and neutral.  The Oeuf Lounger features a padded machine washable canvas seat that rests on its steel seat frame.  The Mamas & Papas Retro Bouncer is similar in its simplicity, however this also features a light vibrating feature.

The BABYBJÖRN Baby Sitter 1-2-3  is very simple and has been around for many years. It has clean lines, requires no batteries, and yet has the ability to entertain and soothe.  

If you’re looking to provide some gentle activity for your baby in comfort and style the Mamas & Papas Starlite Swing is a great choice for parents. The practical rocker easily converts from a rocker/swing to a stationary chair and is lightweight to fold and carry easily

The Bloom Coco Lounger is has a sleek design that looks right at home in a contemporary decor. Form follows function with a beautiful bentwood construction that allows the lounger to rock gently - and the soft seat and five-point harness nestle your little one safely and comfortably.

The Mamas & Papas Go-Go rocking cradle has a clean minimalist style with reversible colours and supreme comfort for your baby.  Its design is well thought through with extra features such as reversible fabrics, multi positional toy bar and integral co-ordinated head hugger which provides additional support for newborns.
