DS (12 weeks old) received 2 bouncers (both different brands with different toys attached) and 2 walkers (both convert from floor activity center to walker and are different brands) for Christmas. Apparently my parents and in-laws need to talk before buying presents.
What would you do? Should I return the duplicate gifts so he has just 1 walker and 1 bouncer? Or is there a chance he'll like both of them and I should keep them both? I just don't know how long they even will use these toys for.

We only used a bouncer for about 5 months so is definitely get rid of one of those. I'd probably pick your favorite walker too but you could wait since he won't be using that for a while still.

I would return the extras, kids already have too much stuff and you'll likely get more things!

I would only keep one of each. DD loves her bouncer and jumper but unless I had a massive house, I'd have no need for two.

@LindsayInNY: Good point, we definitely don't have a massive house. Storing all these toys is going to be a challenge.

I'd only keep one walker for sure. Those take up space!
For bouncer, if it's helpful for you to have 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs, I can see 2 being useful if you don't want to lug it around.
Does he go to either of the grandparents house? Maybe keep spares there?
If none of the above, return!!

@renee0106: I feel like it would make sense in a larger home to have one in the living room and one in another room so I wouldn't have to lug them back and forth between rooms. But alas don't have that problem!

@snowjewelz: Oh yeah that's a good idea too! Maybe I could leave one at my parents house since we're there more often.
