As much as we love cooing to and cuddling our babies, there are moments when every parent or caregiver needs to free their hands and do something else. This could be anything from preparing bubba’s bath and answering the door, to just kicking back for a bit.

Since your baby is not old enough to entertain himself, baby bouncers are a great help. Sturdy and comfy, they are the ideal place to put your peewee for a short while and let them entertain themselves. These seats also come in handy when you’re trying to feed your fussy eater and need to keep him distracted.

Most bouncers in the market do pretty much the same thing, but some have their own unique features. Scroll through the photo gallery to find out which are the cream of the crop.
