Babies pretty much lie around in the first few months! But they do like to do it in a variety of places. My son was happiest when held or strapped to me, or when on the sofa. But he also loved to have a good sit in his bouncy chair (picture here). Argos has the Baby-Start Butterfly Garden Bouncer on half price sale, down to £12.49 from £24.99.
Unfortunately it is not available for delivery. Only store pick up. When I checked, the five closest stores to me all had stock. The other downside for me is that it is for newborn to six months or babies up to 9kg. That's not a long time. However, that does need to be balanced against the price, which is half the price of a Link A Doos even at the cheapest I could find.
Otherwise it has everything I'd recommend looking for in a bouncy chair. It has soothing vibrations, and a detachable toy bar. Also, the cover can be removed and washed in a washing machine. This is important as you'll inevitably find that you'll start giving them their first solids in the bouncy chair rather than in a high chair. And it sure does get messy!
