Soothing Seat
Some parents swear by a soothing seat, as a quiet time alternative to a play time bouncy seat or as a more compact alternative to an infant swing. These high-style seats with less bells and whistles than our featured bouncy seats are ideal for quiet time, but are not as well-suited to play time.

The Maclaren Rocker sits fashionably in your living room, where you can gently rock your baby to sleep with the vibration mode on and the TV volume on low. The rocking base sets this chair apart from other 'bouncy' seats, and the stationary position is nice for reading and feeding. However, with a tame toy bar, it cannot take the place of a traditional 'bouncy' seat.

The Combi Pod Bouncer scores big in the style department. This mod chair offers built-in music and vibration, and even lets you pipe in music from an MP3 player. The four legs make for stable bouncing, feeding and reading, and the seat reclines to a nearly vertical position for napping. We classify this as a soothing seat rather than a "bouncy" seat because of its great soothing features and tame toy bar.
