It worked for a couple of months, till he started getting more mobile. Worked better if I gave him a veggie to play with :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-3-month-old-happy-in-kitchenhigh-chair#post-1928537 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 09:16:22 +0000 blackbird 1928537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, we used a bouncy chair.

I'm worried she prefers to sit more upright and bat at toys. I think I am leaning towards a bouncer with a toy bar that I can attach new stuff to...it seems like it would be more at our height being on the counter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-3-month-old-happy-in-kitchenhigh-chair#post-1928445 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 08:47:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1928445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babybean404: the attachment is just the cheap Tiny Love bar that attaches to anything. </p> <p>We love the bouncy. we got it used but they hold up SO well. He can actually bounce it himself versus other bouncers that you have to push for them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-3-month-old-happy-in-kitchenhigh-chair#post-1928426 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 08:37:31 +0000 babybean404 1928426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks you guys for these suggestions. We have a bouncer that I keep in our bathroom upstairs for when I am in the shower, but I don't want to bring that downstairs.</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: that bouncer is beautiful! is the attachment from baby bjorn too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-3-month-old-happy-in-kitchenhigh-chair#post-1928420 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 08:34:27 +0000 Little Misters Mom 1928420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took until about 4 months, but our baby loves his bumbo now (well, his bebePod). It's so small and portable, that it might be worth just dragging in the swing for the next few weeks and then transitioning to a bumbo seat instead of getting another more bulky or expensive baby item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-3-month-old-happy-in-kitchenhigh-chair#post-1928419 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 08:34:10 +0000 Bubbles 1928419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one of these that I would drag around the house the whole time! It was also good once he was able to sit upright. If only he would sit nicely in it now! </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Galt-America-1004057-Toys-Playnest/dp/B00AN1KU1K" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.uk/Galt-America-1004057-Toys-Playnest/dp/B00AN1KU1K</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-3-month-old-happy-in-kitchenhigh-chair#post-1928417 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 08:33:32 +0000 Smurfette 1928417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bouncer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-3-month-old-happy-in-kitchenhigh-chair#post-1928411 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 08:30:32 +0000 sweetooth 1928411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I second the Rock and Play.

But all babies are different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/keeping-3-month-old-happy-in-kitchenhigh-chair#post-1928348 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 07:56:05 +0000 babybean404 1928348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm looking for something that will keep my three month old happy and able to watch me while I'm cooking/cleaning. We have a swing but I'd like to avoid lugging it in to the kitchen</p> <p>We do have a huge island with free counter space, so I am wondering if one of those little papasan chairs on the counter might work. It gives me a little pause that it's up so high, but placed in the middle of the island there's no way it would go anywhere.</p> <p>I have also thought about a high chair on wheels that reclines. Our kitchen is pretty big so it wouldn't be a huge deal to leave one in the kitchen all the time, and the dining room table is right next to the kitchen as well.</p> <p>Any great recommendations? </p>
