Baby Gear

Bouncing Babies

When my son was small his bouncer saved my life. Having it, allowed me to pump, keep our house clean and make dinner for us.

Now there are a bunch of new bouncers and portable rockers available with some great features to keep your baby occupied while you get stuff done. Here is a collection of some of the best ones:

MacLaren Rocker

This product converts between a chair/rocker and folds to make it easy for travel. It has a canopy(removable) so that you can use it outdoors, a toy bar, and holds your child in 5-point up to 20 lbs.
