We left it up until about 11 months before admitting we were past that part of the baby stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1431675 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 14:37:48 +0000 tlcbaby 1431675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I was thinking we might have to get the pack n play back out (used to use it for naps when he was teeny) and keep it out for him when I need somewhere to put him.</p> <p>@septca: I like the idea of his own little kitchen toys he can play with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1431019 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:24:02 +0000 cookie_dough 1431019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it awful that I still occasionally use the exersaucer for my 19 month old? She still asks to go in it...but she will only ever be in it for a minute or two at a time. It comes in really handy when I want to run and quickly start the car and no one else is home. She is a pretty small 19 month old though...she fits in it no problem! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1431005 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:18:03 +0000 .twist. 1431005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: aaah! Good to know. I need to raise ours. *sigh* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1430996 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 11:15:06 +0000 shopaholic 1430996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She stopped wanting to be contained in either around 7.5-8 months, when she started to crawl. I set up a playpen/fence in the living room and let her play in there. But I can always see her from the kitchen or dinette. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1430887 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 10:47:48 +0000 Alivoo01 1430887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 7 months and still loves the exersaucer. He LOVES jumping in it. I remember reading in the manual babies should only use the exersaucer with the balls/toes of their feet. Once they're flat footed, you need to raise it or they've outgrown it.</p> <p>I agree with PP that maybe a playpen or a baby gate would be a good option for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1430848 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 10:36:40 +0000 knittylady 1430848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D lost interest in the exersaucer last month. (7months) he still likes the jumper when I have to vacuum. I do think it has to be with increasing mobility. At least with the jumper he can jump and spin! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1430775 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 10:13:00 +0000 septca 1430775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD outgrew the exersaucer in terms of her height long before she grew disinterested in it. Even after we stopped putting her in it, she liked to use it to pull herself up and practice her cruising, so we kept it in our living room until we put out the standing table.</p> <p>If you are looking for ways to contain LO, a play gate may be a good bet, or maybe a designated set of kitchen toys? DD has a miniature set of pots/pans/spoons/oven mitts that only stay in the kitchen - she really likes them, so they will keep her occupied for about 20 minutes at a time. A high chair tray of Cheerios will also contain her for long stretches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1430704 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 09:49:00 +0000 Smurfette 1430704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We gave our exersaucer for friends to borrow at 10 months. But I don't think she had used it since 8 months. She was taking steps and never had any interest to go in it. I hate that I don't have a place to contain her now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1430700 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 09:48:26 +0000 MsLipGloss 1430700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your LO can touch the base of the exersaucer with flat feet, he has outgrown it (he should just be able to reach the bottom with the balls of his feet). If he is too tall, you may want to try a PnP or baby gate/pen for him to play in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1430696 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 09:47:30 +0000 LuLu Mom 1430696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>9 months and she was trying to crawl out of the exercauser, she got too bored. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1430682 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 09:45:16 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1430682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just packed up our jumper. The boys are 11 months. Elliot still sort of liked it for short periods of time, but not nearly as much, and Finn barely tolerated it. The more mobile they got the less they liked it. I miss it, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-outgrow-the-exersaucerjumpy#post-1430669 Tue, 18 Feb 2014 09:42:47 +0000 tlcbaby 1430669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 9 months old and I usually put him in an exersaucer in the kitchen when I need to get things done in there. We have another one that is more of a bouncy exersaucer in our bedroom for when we need to shower. He still likes them, but not for as long as he used to. I am worried he may be outgrowing them.</p> <p>How long did your LO use an exersaucer or jumpy? What did you do with them after they outgrew it when you needed to cook, do dishes, etc? He is starting to get mobile and I am trying to stay one step ahead of him! :) </p>
