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.

Offering features similar to those of models that are many times as expensive, this cheery-looking chair both bounces and vibrates.

This battery-free, baby-propelled bouncer is durable, portable, and versatile—offering more positional options than any other model we tested. It converts from a bouncer to a chair, accommodating newborns to 2-year-olds, and our testers loved its sleek design.

The BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft was more responsive to a baby’s movement than any other bouncer or rocker we tested—and it’s also the most sturdy, versatile, portable, and stylish model. It’s light and it folds flat, so it’s convenient for travel and storage. We love that it can convert into a bouncing toddler chair, supporting kids up to 29 pounds. And though it’s significantly more expensive than most other models we considered, we think this built-to-last bouncer is worth the investment for families who plan to use it with more than one kid or want to sell it once the child has had their fill of bouncing.

The compact and lightweight Bright Starts Playful Pinwheels Bouncer is less responsive to a baby’s movements than our pick, but it offers battery-powered vibrations. (The BabyBjörn bouncer does not.) Though sufficiently sturdy, the Bright Starts bouncer’s thin metal legs make it feel flimsy compared with the BabyBjörn model. And though the seat will hold a kid weighing up to about 20 pounds, it doesn’t have a dedicated toddler mode. However, at a fraction of the cost of the BabyBjörn bouncer, the Bright Starts bouncer is a solid budget option.

Because of its 40-pound weight limit, the Fisher-Price Infant-to-Toddler Rocker has the potential to be useful longer than the BabyBjörn Bouncer, yet it’s closer to the cost of our Bright Starts budget pick. It’s sturdy, and it offers two positions, a vibration mode, and a toy bar with a musical elephant. But this rocker is not as easy for babies to get moving on their own compared with the BabyBjörn, and it’s not as well made. In 2020, Fisher-Price redesigned the Infant-to-Toddler Rocker. Representatives told us, however, that the changes are purely aesthetic and the functionality remains the same, so we still feel comfortable recommending this rocker.
