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! X

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.

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?

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!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
