There are bouncers and swings that work from birth. If you're a single parent or will often be home alone with the baby, it can feel like a lifesaver to have a place to set down your infant right from day one.At the end of this guide, we share more insider information about how we test baby bouncers, plus age guidelines for bouncer seats, tips for shopping for a baby bouncer and the most up-to-date safety information from trusted organizations. This was prompted by the number of fall injuries and SIDS deaths that occurred when parents misused the seats. Now you'll see a safety warning printed directly on every bouncer seat up by where your baby's head goes, and experts are hoping you'll heed the advice and follow these rules: At the Good Housekeeping Institute, our scientists (many of whom are parents) test baby gear year-round, evaluating products for safety and ease of use both in their homes and in our Lab.

There's usually a lot more for a baby to do on a baby jumper or an activity center, both of which are for a baby from about 4 to 6 months old and up. You could keep one of those parked in the living room. Then you can use the bouncer seat or floor seat as the baby seat that moves around the house to wherever you need it. Can it be used beyond babyhood? Once your baby wants to explore and is trying to pull up to a stand, their time in a bouncer or floor seat is over. That's often around 9 months, but every baby is different. Several of the seats on our list transition into toddler chairs, so 1-year-olds can get themselves in and out.
