It's not good for hip development

They’re not good or bad when used correctly. But if your baby is always in the bouncer for more than 15 mins at a time multiple times a day it can delay motor development and potentially cause issues with their hips. Just limit bouncer use for times when it’s the only way to safely keep them entertained for a short period of time while you take care of something else

I used one up to about 8 months, though not for long periods of time (and only when she was pretty calm). I think the risk comes when they become able to try to climb out - then they can tip them over. At 8 months she suddenly got lively so it wasn’t viable anymore.
