I put James in his Jolly Jumper when he was between 3-4 months when he had good head control and could bear a bit of weight on his legs. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  Was danni-chick Mum to James My Angel 28/07/08 |

Well you saw the pics of Josh he was almost 3 months (we put him in it last Wednesday for the first time). Exersaucer we don't have one but would love one. I know Andrew was in one at 5 months. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

We put Ella in hers at 3& 1/2 months - I think it's their level of head control that's more important than the age, after 3 or so months. Woulda put her in it earlier if we'd had one then. But Ella did have awesome head control! (brag, brag  )------------- Andie |

almost 5 months I think - but I think the label says 4 months upwards.
My Ella had great head control too, but it's the legs that you need to protect too ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Maya was 3 mths on the dot, she had awesome head control too (wonder if it's a bigger bub thing?) and she got the hang of it straight away.
Tried the gremlins in theirs at 3 mths and they weren't ready so left it a month or so and by 4 mths they were loving it and leap around like little kangaroos. They were 4 1/2 mths when they first went in the exersaucer, they were well ready for it but it was a case of them being able to support their upper bodies enough to not flop forward in it. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

We had this problem too - we gave Ashleigh an exersaucer for Xmas so she was 3 months corrected age. She loved it (still does) and we fixed the above problem by rolling up a towel and tucking it around her. Can't quite remember how old she was when we started her in the JJ though... ------------- Kelly, mum to DD, 19Jun06 (26wks 1lb15oz) DS1, 24Oct10 (32wks 4lb11oz) and DS2, 31Dec11 (32wks, 4lb11) http://lilypie.com">
