Four seats, one shape. A frame, a sling, three recline notches and a harness. What differs is the fabric, the wheels, the canopy and whether the toy bar comes in the box.

Every seat here rocks when the baby moves and holds still when you flip the lock. None of them plug in. That is a deliberate limit: a motor is one more thing to fail, and a baby who needs motion usually settles for the kind you provide with one foot.
The weight limits are worth reading before the price. A bouncer stops being a bouncer the day a baby can sit up unaided, and that day arrives before the printed pound figure for most babies. After that the Cotton Bouncer keeps going as a toddler chair up to thirty pounds, and the others do not.

Before you choose
What a bouncer is actually for, and what it is not
Every baby needs somewhere to be that is not your arms. The seat you choose decides how long that somewhere lasts.
Read the guideThe baby fell asleep in the bouncer. Now what?
It will happen on the first day. A reclined seat and a full stomach put a baby out in four minutes. The question is what happens in the next four.

A hip seat is the fastest carrier in the house to put on and the easiest one to wear badly. Most of that comes down to where the belt sits.
