What age do people reckon would be the earliest age you'd put a baby in a JJ?
Is it all dependant on head control or once they are strong in keeping their feet flat? At quick glance it doesn't really say in the instructions except that " you are quite big enough to use the Jumper when you are 3 mths old" ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

| It really does depend on head control. Dominic had a really big and heavy head so he didn't go in the jolly jumper until he was about 6 months old but Isobelle has been in it since she was 2.5months old. |

| I put bubs in it when she was about 3.5 months - I think they are suppose to have head control. I find it great to use before my 3ish fed as it makes bubs tired for the afternoon sleep! |

I put him in it when I got it this arvo & he loved it! He has got good head control & has very strong legs. he's been standing on my lap for ages. I was a bit worried about his feet. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

No probs with the feet, just the head is all that matters. I have used one before 3mos but can't remember exactly when. -------------  |

Phew!! Thanks everyone....I'll only be putting him in it for short periods totally supervised for now before I feel brave enough to venture further than me sitting next to him. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Maya was in it at 3 mths on the dot pretty much, as was Chiara but the gremlins were more like 5 - we tried them at 3 mths but they didn't have good enough head control. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Aww cute!
We got ours last week, though DD could have been in it from about the same age as your DS. I wondered about their feet too, my DD curls her toes under her feet and I worry about her bouncing up and down on the tops of her feet, IYKWIM.. Is this quite normal? Will her feet still develop in a normal way?  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Kriss, I had a look at his feet when he was in it today & it's like they are trying to grab the ground with their toes. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">
