It looks like what you'd get if an exersaucer and a jumperoo had a baby. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006PB2H4A/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1360357322&#038;sr=8-7&#038;pi=SL75" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006PB2H4A/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1360357322&#038;sr=8-7&#038;pi=SL75</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-557093 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:44:52 +0000 buffalove 557093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: My little guy also has a mild case and our PT recommended that we keep him out of the exersaucer and focus on tummy time until his neck got stronger (this was at around 4.5 months). By 6 months there was a big improvement in the torticollis so we busted the exersaucer out again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-557033 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:30:25 +0000 wheres_c 557033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: adorable!<br /> @mrs. wagon: looking forward to it!<br /> @buffalove: Is there an issue with torticollis and these things? DS has a mild case that we are watching and doing tummy time. ETA actually i think what he has is plagiocephaly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-556982 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 15:01:59 +0000 eeh 556982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both. If I had to choose one, I'd say go for the jumperoo for the simple fact that it's much more compact and easier to store and is portable. We've taken it to Christmas at my husband's grandparents, my parents house, my inlaws, etc. So easy to just throw in the car and hook to a door frame when we get there. </p> <p>That being said, I do also like our exersaucer because we can use it without a door frame. We like being outside so it's nice to be able to plop it in the yard and keep the baby happy while she feels the grass under her toes and we get some yard work done. We also use it in our living room which doesn't have a door frame to use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-556970 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:56:56 +0000 teamjse 556970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have an exesaucer that can be used in 3 stages. I really doubt we'll use it in any other stages, but I do like that there's a feature where LO can bounce in it. DH didn't want to get a Jumperoo because he was worried it was too dangerous. </p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3420756" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3420756</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-556956 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:44:54 +0000 buffalove 556956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both and DS loves them! He started using them at 6 months, could really have started earlier but we waited a bit b/c he had torticollis. I probably wouldnt have bought both brand new, but the jumperoo was a hand me down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-556953 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 14:40:33 +0000 betsyboop 556953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: Adorable, that is amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-556856 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 13:42:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 556856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I JUST wrote a blog post about this!

I have an excersaucer but he didnt ever love it. He loved the jumperoo at the church nursery though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-556569 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 11:25:55 +0000 wheres_c 556569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BelugaBean: @betsyboop: thanks for the info. Sounds like he might be ready for them when hes 3 months, which is when the consignment sale is. I am only going to buy one if its great quality....otherwise will try and get grandma to buy a new one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-556367 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:21:00 +0000 betsyboop 556367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a jumperoo and my LO absolutely loves it. It was and has been one of her favorite toys. We got it once she could hold her head up, which was maybe at around 3.5-4 months. We bought it new but was worth it, in my book. We have the Fisher Price Rainforest one, which I highly recommend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-556348 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:16:06 +0000 BelugaBean 556348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have both. She was able to use the exersaucer around 3-3.5 months because she's always been pretty long so she fit pretty well (my brother bought it for her before she was born). She loved/loves it. She got her jumperoo for Christmas from my dad and she absolutely loves jumping up and down in it plus it seems like it'll last longer as far as height goes. If I had to buy one, I'd probably buy the jumperoo but we've gotten use out of both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-556338 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 10:13:43 +0000 T.H.O.U. 556338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are getting them used you might want to try both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-555890 Fri, 08 Feb 2013 00:34:48 +0000 plantains 555890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Jumperoo.

FWIW I bought both of those and LO tolerated swing but hated bouncer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-555873 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:57:31 +0000 lemondrop 555873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a used exersaucer after using one at my IL's at 10 months old. He loves it, and while it isn't specifically made for jumping, it has some bounce to it and he goes bananas. It is so nice to use to keep him in one place for a little bit when he is into everything. They are huge though, I can't imagine having both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-555858 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:36:28 +0000 runsyellowlites 555858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travelingbrit: I wanna say she was probably around 6 months, but only b/c we didn't have one. I was in the "baby gear minimalist" camp until my mom got one and she loved it! She got on for Christmas not long after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-555852 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:30:04 +0000 wheres_c 555852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I just looked that one up on amazon. It looks neat. The reviews say anywhere from 4months + but it doesnt state in the product description a starting age.<br /> What age was P when she started using it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-555841 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 23:21:16 +0000 Bao 555841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a jumperoo and LO loves it because she can jump around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/exersaucer-vs-jumperoo#post-555802 Thu, 07 Feb 2013 22:54:15 +0000 runsyellowlites 555802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Baby Einstein musical motion jumper so a mix of both and we really love it!
