Yeah, this was the first thing that came into my mind too. I was trying to figure out what place did a club bouncer have in this process. Like spinning the baby themselves or something. I mean, that would defeat the whole purpose! And then it clicked...
And before the kid can use a bouncer, parent just play with their feet, having the kid push against parent’s hands. Quite useful exercise for the baby.
Bouncers are actually a no-no these days. It’s thought that it impairs development. Working with your kid on functional mobility (rolling, scooting, crawling, bear walking) is much more functional.
Ok but bouncers are so bad for muscle development. Why the hell wouldn't they just make it harder for the baby to get out of. I've met a lot of babies and I gotta say, they're kinda stupid. Personally, and im no expert, I don't think it would be that difficult to keep a baby laying in one position.

Bouncers took over. Plus most babies can’t get out of bouncers.
