When we were registering for our first child, we were overwhelmed with options.  We walked through the aisles at Babies R Us and loved the look of the Combi Pod Bouncer.  It was very modern and we loved the wooden toys hanging from the bar.  We were lucky to find a floor model half price at a store going out of business, so we wound up getting it for $40.

In retrospect, I'm glad that we only paid $40 for it.  First off, our son didn't use it much.  He was much happier being held or in his swing.  The "bouncing" wasn't really his style.  Secondly, we quickly learned that it had a lot of shortfalls....
