Baby decides what they like! My son hated the bouncer. He only liked his swing.

I never had a swing with my first, my second I got one and she hated it. With my third I got the mamaroo and I loved it as did she. Will be getting another one this time around.

My son hated both 😩😂

My first two I swore by the swing until I found the fisher price auto rocker, it vibrates, rocks on continuous and nap mode, and plays music and nature sounds. 🙌🏻

My 3 youngest loved the mamaroo and honestly so do I. It’s so worth the money. I’ve had the same one for over 3 years and had no problems

It really depends on the baby. My son lovedddd his swing and sometimes would not be happy without it! I got another swing this time around just in case. I do look on facebook marketplace for stuff way cheaper before buying new though. I got a really nice one for $35

My now 2 year old had rock and play and liked the vibrate. My baby had a swing didnt like it at first and then loved it he grew out of it quick though now hes in rock and play and loves it.

It’s totally a preference thing. You don’t NEED it. Whatever you have baby will enjoy :)
