We got given 2 rockers. The MIL gave us a basic one which we used for the first few weeks then we moved him to the other one which is a FP newborn to toddler rocker. He just loves it. I've found it very handy to sit him in after he has a feed as he's quite chucky and I can keep him fairly upright in it which helps.
We also have a FP rainforest jumper. Brock is too young to use it yet. We bought it second hand for $50 from a friend. No way I'd spend $180 for one of those. It's already set up and makes great noises and we just know he'll love it.
You may not be keen on getting second hand stuff but my advice is to check out anything your friends or relatives offer you. Most baby things aren't that used and it can save you a lot of money that you can use on other things.
