Hi Gill :wave:. Did you see my message on the PG thread to say I got my voucher, thank you very much!

We bought the previous version of this swing before H was born, and he never liked it! On the other hand he has loved his cheapy Asda bouncer (£15, the link is the same one at Boots) since he was born, and still does now at 3 months. I guess it depends on the baby?!

I would say b0llocks to baby not being stimulated by the first one you linked to! Henry's current favourite came is covering and uncovering his face with his bib! They really need little amusement when they are teeny! The thing they like the best is looking at you, pulling faces etc....

Gill I think it depends on the baby, Chris LOVED his aquarium bouncer but Ed wasn't fussed at all with it *shrug*
I've never had the pleasure of using a swing though. Jumparoos come highly recommended around here but are only suitable from something like 3mths

SJ - I didn't make any noise either. I'm a suffer-in-silence sort of person. I think the mws all thought i was odd as they kept making comments about how quiet i was!

Hammy - very cute!!

Gill, my only advice is don't be disappointed if baby hates it at first. Finn's only started liking his in the past wk or so.

kian wasnt bothered with any toys for a good while. we have the bouncer (£15 from asda) and it did the trick for about 4months. we only got a flashier one at christmas as it will do him till he's about 2.

at first he would only sit in the bouncer for a few mins, but now he is quite happy for about 30mins.

he only started liking his activity mat/gym thung at about 3 months as well.

There is a spoof video on youtube called Benny lava, it's basically a translation of a bollywood song, and what it sounds like in English. It's prettyfunny.

When Keira was 2 she loved it and this is her performance, love her dancing!

real video, its worth a laugh

I was looking at getting this bouncer from argos because I just love the little bears but have had some feedback that it won't be stimulating enough for baby as it is so neutral.

Molly had a similar one and loved it

Gorgeous, Hammy. Well done!

PP ... were you really shocked about Jon and Kate? :rotfl:

We're off out for dinner. Nomnomnom. I'm all dressed up ... well, a pretty top with my jeans, but it's an effort

SS - have fun

Gill - Swing will put him baby straight to sleep, my friend bought one and all 4 of our LO's were asleep within minutes!
I still use the bouncer now - J didn't like it as first but did start to enjoy it after a while. Now he just likes to escape it!

I think it was me who said that. But i said it because the lights on our new one give her something to look at she's auto attracted to them.

But the Barnaby one has different pro's, i put her in that at the bathroom door while i get a shower and she still likes it.

I just don't think the Barnaby is worth £35 tbh. Plus the music is a bit weird
