We never used a jumperoo/exersaucer and used the swing until he was around 4 months old. I know what you mean about the hanging upside thing. I saw my son do that once and it freaked me out. He didn't cry or anything but he was just hanging there and I jumped! Not the prettiest sight!

OMG! So sad for little Olive (but I giggled, too)! Unfortunately (or, fortunately, depends on you see it), LO never took to the swing at all. Like, AT ALL. She has sat in it content maybe 4 times in her almost-9-month life. Sheesh. But, we started putting her in her exersaucer when she was 4.5 months old and she LOVED it (until this month...She hates it and cries every time she's in it because she would rather be crawling around). She never got the hang of the jumperoo - we tested it out at my friend's house and LO just sit there, totally confused about what she was supposed to do. LOL.

Awww! Poor Olive stuck in the swing upside down. Yay for such a big girl moving into her exersaucer!!

DS never liked the swing. Luckily, I bought one used for $40. He hardly used it at all. He loves his jumperoo though! We've been using it since he was around 6 months. It's definitely a must-have in our house!

A little embarrassing, but up until pretty recently, LO still enjoyed swing time. Ours has the straps for around his waist and the ones that go over his shoulders so we luckily didn't have problems with him flopping out.

We also got probably a solid 5 months out of the exersaucer. He loved the thing, I just wish they weren't so huge to store for future kids.

Lol, poor Olive! We never used a swing, but DD started using the jumperoo around 4 months. She loved it, and I hope DS likes it half as much as she did!
