Is the UPPAbaby Mira worth the extra cost compared to BabyBjorn?

Many users say yes due to included travel bag, longer lifespan, and sturdier build, especially if you want to use it as a seat beyond the bouncer phase.

Does the toy bar come included?

No, the toy bar is sold separately, which some parents find disappointing given the higher price of the bouncer.

Mira is often preferred due to included travel bag, higher weight limit (some versions), sturdier feel, and better price/value, though some find the BabyBjorn's fabric more plush and the shape less restrictive.

Mira vs BabyBjorn: Mira wins on value and included accessories
The Mira has been amazing, I love that it came w a travel bag. I liked the colors too. Honestly I have a few uppababy items and they feel higher quality than most. Buy buy baby has 15% off registry completion coupon so that helps reduce the price difference.

Mira preferred for longevity and value over BabyBjorn
We decided to go with the Mira. I liked the fact that it included the travel bag, it had a higher weight limit (I think 30 vs 20 lbs) and it turns into a little toddler chair. We got ours from indigo with a plum plus discount so it ended up being cheaper than the baby bjorn. I don't regret it.

Baby shape preference and toy bar criticism
I went with the baby Bjorn personally because we found the shape of the uppababy more like a cup where baby’s bottom is in the base and legs are up vs the more hammock shape of the baby bjorn meaning baby is more spread out. Also annoyed me that the uppababy didn’t come with the toy bar at that price point.

Mira chosen for 2-in-1 functionality and portability
UPPAbaby Mira 2-in-1 Bouncer and Seat. It's a bouncer for newborns and then folds into a seat for toddlers. I LOVE it. It has a carry handle, folds flat, comes with a travel bag, and is easy to clean. We chose it over the BabyBjorn because it felt sturdier and the 2-in-1 feature gives it more longevity.
