What it is: If you're looking for a bouncer that gives less stimulation, not more, this should be a top pick. Eschewing that "bright lights, big bouncer" feeling for a more ergonomic, low-key approach, the Babysitter Balance is shaped like a hammock to cradle your baby naturally. No lights, music, or vibration, just a toy bar attachment that's sold separately. Pros: This bouncer comes fully assembled, folds flat for easy travel, and (something we really like) has a simple, sophisticated look and many colors to choose from. What to watch out for: This bouncer is entirely baby-powered – it doesn't vibrate or rock on its own, which means it may not soothe some babies. What it is: This little bouncer has pretty much everything you could think of, including two-position recline, a removable toy bar, vibration, and an MP3 input so you can play your own tunes. And since the controls are on the back of the bouncer, you can modify the settings without disturbing your baby. It's very lightweight, so moving it from room to room is a breeze.

And although we're partial to the bee design (pictured), there's also a cute ladybug and a neutral yellow. What to watch out for: The fact that the seat cover can't be washed doesn't go over well with many parents. What it is: Like a lot of parents, we're fans of the cheerful animals on this best seller – though if monkeys aren't your thing, Fisher-Price has several similar bouncers with different looks. The dangling toys and light-up waterfall combine to stimulate your baby's developing senses and keep him occupied when you need a break. And when it's time to chill out, the music and vibration will soothe his nerves. What to watch out for: If you take full advantage of this bouncer, be prepared to change the four D batteries every two weeks. Also, some parents say the lights, toys, and waterfall combined are too loud and overstimulating. What it is: This is the most high-tech baby seat on the market, with five unique baby-calming motions (car ride, kangaroo, tree swing, rock-a-bye, and ocean wave) that you can speed up or slow down depending on your baby's mood.

The mamaRoo also connects to your MP3 player so you can choose your own music – or go with one of their five nature sounds. Don't worry, it plugs into the wall, so you won't need hundreds of batteries to run this seat. Plus, it looks great and comes in several colors. What to watch out for: It's heavy and a bit bulky, so don't expect to travel with this guy. Also, curious toddlers can pinch their fingers in the track the seat moves on. What it is: Wow. It's a bassinet, a stationary baby chair, and a vibrating, rocking seat! This product lives up to its 3-in-1 promise and can help you save space and money. When your baby's rubbing her eyes and is done playing with the light and music toy (included), push a button and the rocking seat converts to a baby bed with raised sides. When used as a chair, there are three reclining positions, and the frame easily switches from a rocking to a stable position. Plus, the 40-pound weight limit means you can use this for years. What to watch out for: It comes in just one color (stone).

Also, some parents say their babies can't rock well without help. What it is: For babies who need a lot of motion to settle down or sleep, this swing is a miracle worker. table and chair rental southern illinoisIt features six speeds and two directions – side-to-side or front-to-back – so you can experiment to see what soothes your baby best. round swivel chair with armsPlus, the motorized mobile (lambs and clouds that circle a mirror) really captures babies' attention.wooden chairs for sale philippines What to watch out for: Like most swings, this one has a large footprint, so make sure you've got enough room for it. cheap poker table and chairs

It was designed with modern parents in mind, with features like an MP3 hook-up so you can play your own tunes. Parents praise the LED lights on the arm, which can mesmerize babies. (The wooden arm also features built-in music and nature sounds and a charming bird toy.) Plus, the seat has three reclining positions and can fold flat for storage or travel. What to watch out for: The weight limit is a low 20 pounds, so some babies won't get a full year of use from this seat. Also, some parents say the sound quality is poor when using the MP3 hook-up.2016 – Loved by Parents Awards, UK - Stimulative, Wooden
