I am having this debate with myself as well!! MIL was going to buy us one but I had a huge fight with her and told her we wee raising this baby our way and not her's cause she was getting concerned that we hadn't gone out and chosen one yet and I told her why I thought it was a waste of money on one hand and on the other hand it was a good choice!!

Then I had the thought of the hammock, but SUPRISE SUPRISE I mention that to MIL in the fight and she said.....I don't like them so I am no putting my money towards that!!

But then there is the option of the snuggler like someone else mentioned so I think I will look into that myself as well!!

I will be keeping an eye on this thread as well to see what everyone elses opinion is.
