Maxi-Cosi Kori 2-in-1 Baby Bouncer Classic Truffle vs Baby Delight Alpine Wave Deluxe Newborn Baby Bouncer

The Kori is the better pick for parents who want a simple, low-tech rocker that folds flat and looks good in the living room. The Alpine Wave Deluxe is the better pick for parents who want hands-free soothing: it has a battery-powered gliding motion with a remote, a sound unit and a toy bar. The Kori is a manual rocker with a supportive newborn inlay and recycled fabrics; the Alpine Wave adds motion and entertainment but weighs 14 lb and needs AA batteries. Owner ratings are close, with the Kori drawing more reviews.

• Choose the Maxi-Cosi Kori if you want a manual rocker that folds flat, has a snug newborn inlay and uses recycled fabric, and you don't need powered motion or toys.
• Choose the Baby Delight Alpine Wave Deluxe if you want a remote-controlled gliding bouncer with a sound unit and toy bar to soothe and entertain baby hands-free.
