About the editor

The 2-in-1 Chicco Hoopla converts seamlessly from a baby bouncer once your child reaches 9kg to a toddler chair that will last until around three years of age. Eurobaby cannot be held liable for any parcels that are lost or stolen as a result of any specific delivery instructions left for the carrier. As a busy mum of two young children, now aged eight and six, she knows just how important first-hand parenting knowledge can be, and she draws on her own experiences when writing about baby essentials, toys, health, money and lifestyle. She has also written for Prima Baby, Woman’s Own and Bella. Make sure harness straps are always done up, even if you are only putting your baby in the seat for a couple of minutes.Our tester, Luci, has a five-year-old and a four-month-old who was just two weeks old when testing started. She used each model for at least a week in her busy three-bedroom mid-terrace home.

A basic bouncer can be just as effective as a luxury model and, as most seats only last until six months of age, you'll want to consider how often you will use it and what features you need before deciding how much to invest. Identical in design to the BabyBjörn Bouncer Bliss but with different fabric options, the BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft is a lightweight and comfortable baby bouncer that offers great longevity.

LIGHTWEIGHT & COMPACT: folded flat, Kori stores away easily, because it's so compact and only weighs 2.3 kg, it’s easy to take with you (folded dimentions (cm) 15 x 73,5 x 42,5 (H x W x D)) She considered how entertaining and soothing any toys, music, lights, or vibrations were. Luci also marked the bouncer on how big it was and whether it was portable.

EASY-IN HARNESS: the cushioned 3-point harness stays open so you can easily place and secure your baby and it's also adjustable to always fit comfortably as your baby continues to grow

Price and competition: is the Maxi-Cosi Kori Rocker good value for money?

Investing in a baby bouncer can give you moments of much-needed peace - it's somewhere you can lay them down when they can't yet sit up by themselves - but also help your little one learn and develop. Budget-friendly, but with impressive features such as a detachable toy bar with hanging toys as well as vibration settings and 16 soothing tunes, the Red Kite Cozy Bounce Linen is ideal if you’re looking for a no-frills bouncer with added extras.

I have concerns about leaving an active, slightly older child alone in case they were able to climb out. I do, however, like that the harness has clips on either side so it’s very easy to lift my five-month-old in and out without her legs getting caught. ELECTRONICS: the Cassia can be used with the AC adaptor and if there’s no plug nearby, no worries – the Cassia can also be battery operated with 4 AA bateries (not included) She scored the bouncer on how easy it was to assemble, reading the instructions to see how helpful they were and timing how long it took to put the seat together. Maxi-Cosi has prioritised style when designing this bouncer as the Kori is very modern and stylish. The grey colours and wood-effect frame nicely match plenty of my decoration and would look good in any modern home.She also spoke to Karen Sherr, a child psychologist, former play specialist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, and founder of Musical Minis (a preschool music group focused on child development), to find out what parents should be looking for when buying a baby seat and how to use them safely. Full disclosure: Some of these baby bouncers, including the 4Moms, ErgoBaby, and Maxi Cosi models, were sent to us as free test samples by the manufacturer.
