My daughter pays best attention to books while she is in her highchair! I don't think they should keep her in it for long periods though, especially at that age where they need to run around and explore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1911280 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:44:21 +0000 coopsmama 1911280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 16 months and is obsessed with the idea of being in his little sister's baby gear. Unfortunately, he's over the weight limit, but otherwise I wouldn't see a problem with letting him try it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1911278 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:42:30 +0000 photojane 1911278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wouldn't bother me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1911275 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:38:02 +0000 Bao 1911275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A is 2 and thinks it's fun to play in her sisters gear ;) if she were happy I wouldn't mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1911167 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 13:41:08 +0000 Mommy Finger 1911167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would need more information before making a call on this. DS loves to sit in those chairs and when I pick him up sometimes when they consolidate rooms and he's in the infant room, he'll be chilling in one of those chairs. He also likes buckles so he will sometimes asked to be buckled in. It could be something like that and not that she was forced to sit there. Either way, if it bothers you, I would ask. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910945 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 12:05:25 +0000 Mama Bird 1910945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: I'm with you on being just a little worried that this is a sign she's not getting enough interaction. It's a sensitive subject for me... DS is at a very nice day care and likes it there (it's safe, clean, he eats and sleeps well), but he's an easy kid and I've been wondering for a while if he's getting much less attention than kids who demand it. They never tell me what they do during the day and there's no way to pop in unannounced because you have to go through two locked doors. Do the people at your daughter's day care give you a rundown of what they did that day? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910628 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 09:44:50 +0000 HabesBabe 1910628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ask your husband how LO was reacting to being in the seat... like PPs, my LO likes buckles and wants to be strapped in to ANYTHING (grocery store cart, high chair, etc.). And since we've gotten out her old toys for baby bro, she climbs in to his stuff all the time.</p> <p>I'd only be concerned if she was upset by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910493 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:48:33 +0000 Bluebonnet 1910493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This would bother me - a lot. At 14 months, LO hadn't used a swing or bouncer in 7-8 months, and had not even used an exersaucer in 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910468 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:41:58 +0000 swurlygurl 1910468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Crazy kids! I have to buckle her on the changing pad even... I'm about to cut those buckles off </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910460 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:38:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 1910460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: Yep my LO is obsessed with buckles too, she scolds me if I try to put her in a cart without buckling, she's 24 months! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910430 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:27:54 +0000 swurlygurl 1910430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: Yeah, my 21 month old gets upset when I have to put her baby sister in that chair!! L loooves sitting in it when it's free. She's also going through a phase of being obsessed with buckles, so I would have assumed she made the teacher buckle her in :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910420 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:23:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 1910420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as she was under the weight limit and happy I would not be upset, as long as she wasn't in there for a long period of time. I'm picturing something like this and my LO loved to sit in it until she was like 18 months old. </p> [attach=1477/14/ndul7o.245x245.chair.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910383 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 08:07:08 +0000 jetsa 1910383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The toddlers love the baby equipment at our daycare, its a constant fight to keep them out so it wouldn't concern me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910365 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:55:16 +0000 mamimami 1910365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toddler was always trying to get his little sister's baby equipment.I wouldn't be that worried unless it seemed like an inhumane restraint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910342 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:30:24 +0000 Mamaof2 1910342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ugh - this would bother me. I would ask why she was in there and not sitting with the others. Yes, I know she may not sit still at 14 months but she needs to learn right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910331 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 07:16:53 +0000 catomd00 1910331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everyone's different but this wouldn't bother me assuming she was happy and only in it for short periods of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910304 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 06:50:11 +0000 hilsy85 1910304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was she strapped in and happy? Or crying and trying to get out?<br /> I would be ok with it for a short period if she was under the weight limit and happy about sitting there. BUT I would also question why they don't have a toddler appropriate seat (and why they feel the need to restrain her? Like why does she HAVE to sit and listen to story time?). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910269 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 04:15:12 +0000 Andrea 1910269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find it a little odd, but not a huge deal (she is under 25 lbs?). I would ask them for more info if you are worried about it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910268 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 04:10:36 +0000 78h2o 1910268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally see your point of view, but I think it's okay as long as it was just for a short period of time, given the age differences the teacher was working with. I wouldn't be happy if she was strapped in for long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910261 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 01:43:09 +0000 autumnlove 1910261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ya, 25 lbs is the limit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910258 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 01:01:17 +0000 Skadi 1910258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You mean like this? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Newborn-Sleeper-Little-Snugabunny/dp/B00DJPGL42/" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Newborn-Sleeper-Little-Snugabunny/dp/B00DJPGL42/</a></p> <p>The weight limit on most of these things is 25 pounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-in-a-baby-bouncer#post-1910255 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 00:31:37 +0000 Sapphiresun 1910255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I just got the last daycare issue mostly worked out, and here I am again. Hoping to get some opinions from you guys before I speak to the director.</p> <p>LO attends a smaller centre with about 7 kids and 4 teachers that work varying shifts, so sometimes if there's only 3 kids in there's only one teacher on shift for the whole group. She's 14 months and the youngest by over a year.</p> <p>So DH picked her up early today and arrived during circle/story time with LO, a 2.5 year old and a 4 year old, so only one teacher was on shift. They were sitting and reading a story, and they had LO in one of those Rock n' Play style baby seats with the five point harness, strapped in. I'm sure she doesn't sit nicely and listen to a story like the bigger kids, and they need to have the teacher's attention too, but I'm kind of bothered by this.</p> <p>I personally never owned one of these so I have no idea what the height/weight limits are supposed to be, but I'm also a bit concerned as to why they're "restraining" her. </p>
