I don't know much about jumperoos or exersaucer's but the big consignment sale is coming up and I'm thinking about getting one/both.
Do you have one?
Does your LO like it?
Was it worth it?
How old was LO when you started using it?
You might also enjoy...

We have the Baby Einstein musical motion jumper so a mix of both and we really love it! Oh and so does P!
-
We have a jumperoo and LO loves it because she can jump around.
-
@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.
What age was P when she started using it? -
@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.
-
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.
-
@lemondrop: yeah they look big...just wasnt sure if it was a bouncer vs swing kind of thing where you might want both. FWIW I bought both of those and LO tolerated swing but hated bouncer
-
Jumperoo. My DD has been crazy about it since she was 4 mos old
-
If you are getting them used you might want to try both!
-
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.
-
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.
-
@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.
-
I say jumperoo! I have an excersaucer but he didnt ever love it. He loved the jumperoo at the church nursery though!
-
We have both and it's worth it for us. LO loves both his exersaucer and jumperoo.
-
@travelingbrit: My DD is so obsessed with her Fisher Price jumperoo, she will jump no matter how tired she is and fall asleep in it. Then cry if I try to extract her...
-
I JUST wrote a blog post about this! Exersaucer vs. Jumperoo!! Watch out for it on the blog in the next few days
-
@plantains: Adorable, that is amazing!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
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.
-
@plantains: adorable!
@mrs. wagon: looking forward to it!
@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 -
@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.
-
Has anyone tried something like this? It looks like what you'd get if an exersaucer and a jumperoo had a baby.
