I was actually going in between Baby Einstein or Evenflo. So good to know about Bright Starts!</p> <p>@plantains: Not absolutely necessary but since M is getting bored of her playmat now we don't have anything for her to "play" with now where I can leave her relatively unattended. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-280200 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 00:24:02 +0000 pinkcupcake 280200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the luv u zoo jumperoo and LO looooves it. Keeps her happily entertained for at least 15-20 mins. We tried the exersaucer at a friend's but she only lasted about 5 mins before she got bored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-280008 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:18:36 +0000 stiffaknee 280008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, FYI. If you are trying to decide between a baby einstein and another brand....baby einstein and bright starts are the same! I found this out because the company that makes both (kids II) is based in Atlanta and LO and I did a focus group for them on bouncy chairs. I mention this because bright starts is really inexpensive (and if you compare baby e and bright starts jumparoos and whatnot, theyre practically the same) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-280005 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:17:09 +0000 prettylizy 280005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: I could definitely flatten it and slide it under our bed very easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-280004 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:15:51 +0000 plantains 280004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: Oooh, if it comes apart maybe that might work better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-280001 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:14:09 +0000 prettylizy 280001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: they are rather large, not necessary, but I love that I can plunk DD in there and she will remain amused for 20-30 mins. We have a jumperoo like @Coco Bee: Mentioned above foe our lower level, and it comes apart and stores pretty easily if you were concerned about space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279997 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:11:46 +0000 Rubies 279997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an Evenflo and LO loved it!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279994 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 19:10:16 +0000 plantains 279994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just wondering if one if these is necessary or not. Are they huge? Will it take up a bunch of room in our wee 1 bdr NYC apartment? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279989 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:57:11 +0000 Mrs. Pen 279989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would get one of the jumping ones, like the rainforest jumper. DS does not like our stationery exersaucer, he only lasts up to ten minutes and fusses half the time. But when he's at the gym daycare or church daycare he plays in the jumper one and LOVES it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279978 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:42:23 +0000 prettylizy 279978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the baby Einstein one and she loves it. I had to prop her in with towels and a pillow under her feet at first because she was too scrawny. Now she's in in every day! </p> [attach=1542/12/m9qxwa.600x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279977 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:42:03 +0000 mynoahbear 279977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the evenflo splash too. We bought it used but it was practically new. LO really likes playing in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279974 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:39:21 +0000 HLK208 279974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: DS was pretty thick and strong at 3.5 months but DD probably won't be in it for another month or so (we'll remove some of the toys so it's not overwhelming). The evenflo was passed on from a friend of ours so I'm not sure what the exact style is but it had pretty basic primary colors, definitely gender neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279972 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:38:00 +0000 regberadaisy 279972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: I was just looking at that one on Amazon!</p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Sadly, we'll likely be the ones handing things down to friends.</p> <p>@chopsuey119: I'm split between evenflo or baby einstein! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279919 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:35:13 +0000 chopsuey 279919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a baby Einstein. LO Looooooved it! We used it for a good 7 months before I retired it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279877 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:57:18 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 279877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got ours as a hand-me-down. Works great and we have plans to hand it down when we're done as well! Lots of love and lots of use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279870 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:52:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 279870@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the evenflo splash exersaucer - it was an online retun at target so I paid $20, but I think it's ~50. No music but I believe Mrs. Wagon has the same and said Wagon Jr loved it!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279850 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:30:35 +0000 Mrs. Bee 279850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>they're all pretty much the same so i would just go with one that costs less! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279846 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:26:28 +0000 regberadaisy 279846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: good to know regarding your ds! M is 18 weeks and I was wondering if she might still be too young.<br /> Which one does your son have? I'm looking more for a gender neutral one so we can reuse if #2 is a boy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279844 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:23:57 +0000 HLK208 279844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a pink bright starts activity center from Target (it was on sale for $49) but DD is only 12 weeks so she hasn't tried it yet. DS was crazy about his from 14 weeks-12 months! It's the only way I could shower and get ready. His was an evenflo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer#post-279839 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 16:16:52 +0000 regberadaisy 279839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which exersaucer do you have? Does your LO like it?</p> <p>M is over laying on her gym mat! She'll play with it if I hold her up standing but that's pretty much it. So I'm in the market for a exersaucer.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
