we've got a music and vibrating bouncer and DD loves it. It's great to put her in when i'm in the shower so she can sit in the bathroom with me and if i'm in the kitchen cooking or something. I don't think it matters what toys are on the toy bar, we hardly ever use the toys that actually came with the bouncer, we just put her favourite ones on there. And we've only just had to change the batteries so they lasted almost 4 months of almost every day usage
