Baby Bjorne bouncy chair

[Strawbs]

Hi. Just a quick one, before I part with my hard earned cash on an expensive bouncy chair are they worth the price tag? I have found one on sale for ?80 but that's still a fair whack of cash when I could get a regular one for half that. Calling on the wisdom of folks who may have bought one of these already. Thanks!

I can only give you my experience which is that my 9 wk old loves hers- she's merrily sat in it from 2 weeks of age. I bought mine on the recommendation of friends who had similar reactions from their offspring. :)

I couldn't afford them (have got twins) so just had normal bouncy chairs, which mine were more than happy in. But I have two friends who had these and they said they were definitely worth the money. Your babies do spend a lot of time in bouncy chairs when they are little, so I reckon if you've got the cash, I don't think you'd regret it.

Yes strawbsy get it! If you have another mini refluxer (fingers crossed not) then they are ace. I promise

I borrowed one from a forumite when I had #3 and it was miles better than the cheap ones I had for my other babies.

Not sure I would pay ?80 for one, but we definitely used it more than the ones we had previously (possibly a function of having more than one child though - I seem to remember not using one for #1 very often as I had time/hands free to hold him more!).

Worth advertising on here to see if anyone has one to sell or lend out?

Thanks everyone ! I am sold!

Pickle - great idea will do. I did message someone a week or so back but didn't hear back so I think ill do as you say and post my own ad.

Mivy - good thinking re another refluxer - I am hoping not but best to be prepared! X

We have borrowed one and our 5 week old seems comfy in it but obviously at this age won't be parted from our arms for more than 3 minutes. I can see the potential though, it does look very comfortable and supportive. X

Strawbs we had one but as a baby our now 3.4yo only wanted to be lay flat or in arms! He hated his bouncy chair :(

No reflection on this particular model I'm sure, but perhaps worth bearing in mind before parting with lots of cash? We have held onto ours just in case baby number 2 is a bit more flexible!

Got one for baby number 2 and it's been used daily since the day we got out of hospital! Cannot recommend it highly enough. Bought ours second hand off someone on the EDF - great quality like new!

Strawbs are you still looking to buy one? Very likely I will be selling mine very soon. My son loved it but he has grown out of it...

[Strawbs]

Hi Julie, I am picking one up tomorrow but thank you for thinking of me! X

Looks like you?re already sold Strawbs, but just to add we had no regrets here. Nice and sturdy for our chubby little man and bought me valuable hands-free minutes to do the laundry etc (never did get the hand of doing this with him in his sling!).

HI there - are you still looking to sell the chair? If so I'm interested.

Thanks
