  I think they have to be able to touch the bottom and have EXCELLENT head control...I would say it's probably still a bit too young.  See what the box says, but I think it's 4-6 months ...I can't remember.  LO is almost 2 months and he is definitely not ready.

  I found this on LoveToKnow.com:

  The ages of babies who use exersaucers vary somewhat. A good rule of thumb is that your baby should be old enough to sit with support. When you first place your baby in an exersaucer, you'll probably need to roll blankets to pack in around him, helping him remain upright and keeping him from being so wobbly. You definitely don't want to put an infant who cannot hold his head up or hold his back straight into an excersaucer.

  Once your baby can sit with support, however, he will probably enjoy the exersaucer for short periods of time. Just be sure you have his body supported all the way around until he has become strong enough and coordinated enough to hold himself upright. He should continue to enjoy the exersaucer until he is beginning to walk on his own.
