Andrew loved his and would happily spend hours in it if I didn't take him out after 20 or so minutes. They are great to have around the witching hour, put bubs in there and you can have them entertained for 20 or so minutes while you cook dinner.

Emma Rose never liked hers -- I'd put her in it and try to "bounce" her, but she didn't get the hang of it, and would sort of dangle there, twirling slowly around and around, gazing at me in abject misery. (Which was pretty hilarious to see, actually.)
Ours was a secondhand one my mother got at a garage sale -- and there are heaps for sale on TM, in case you don't want to spend big bucks on a new one. I think they're a great investment too, even though my weird child didn't like hers -- apparently I loved mine as a baby, so I'll keep Em's one in case there's ever a Baby #2 who might be more open-minded than she is!

Gremlins love theirs, as did Maya. They bounce around like little springboks, quite funny to watch. And definitely a witching hour survival tool - my life changed for the better when they were old enough to go in the JJ!

Maddie loves hers but as Debs said not all babies do, I'd also recommend trying before you buy or see if you can get one on TM. We just borrowed ours of B's cousins and they had the frame as well.

Ben loved his and it was great when you needed to get some jobs done, hang out the washing etc. Only problem was when he was younger 4-5 mths old he would usually throw up if he went in it after a feed , so I had to leave it for over an hour after feeding him ( probably common sense aye!!!)

NZpiper - The Farmers catalogue just came in the mail last night!
I have over $2k worth of vouchers for Farmers to spend as they were gifts from our wedding! Thats why I just hang out for the Farmers catalogue to get the best deals possible when they have there sales!

Borrowing one first is a good idea.
I bought one second-hand for Kiya, which has since been used by my SIL for her older 2 before coming back to me for Josiah then going back to my SIL for her youngest (who didn't really like it much) and now Xavier is using it! Best $25 I spent!

Hey Nicole. I found mine really good. You can only use it once they've got good head control though. Before that a bouncinette was an absolute lifesaver!
