The Best Baby Bouncers and Rockers

Many parents find that a baby bouncer can soothe a fussy baby—as well as provide a secure, engaging spot to place an infant while the adult accomplishes other tasks. (Know, though, that these seats are not safe places for a baby to sleep.) After putting in eight hours of research—including speaking with a sleep consultant, several baby-gear experts, and plenty of parents—and spending 20 hours testing 10 baby bouncers, we’re certain that the sturdy and versatile BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft is the best bouncer of the bunch.
