Hi MoMs!
How old were your kids when/if you got jumperoos?
Did you buy more than one? Before we had our twins, people told us to buy two of everything, but so far, we have 1 of everything except for cribs, car seats & bouncy chairs.
Lastly, please recommend yours.
Thanks!!
Re: Questions re Jumperoos
I put them in the jumperoo at 4 months, but they didnt start getting it (like actual jumping) until 5 months.
Like the PP, we have 1 jumperoo and 1 exercauser and they rotate between the two. It works for us! I think having 2 of each may be over-kill...I'd get different toys (like a leapfrog table) instead.
They were 4m.
We started with one, then bought a second when we realized how much they both loved it.
We have one Fisher-Price deluxe Jump for Lights and Music jumperoo (old and ugly but certainly functional; got it for $35 at the MoM sale)
and a FP Rainforest Jumperoo (got it used in great condition for $30!).
We have a jumperoo and an exersaucer and started using them at 4 mo. I am borrowing them from friends,but we use them both every day.
In the morning they play in them after they eat and it gives me a chance to make coffee, eat something, and make all the bottles for the day!

We have the Baby Einstein jumperoo (probably 5 years old and still in great shape) and this evenflo exersaucer .
FWIW: They are great - but they don't use them that long and they are kinda pricey. If you can borrow some or get them used somewhere I would recommend that. They come totally apart and can be cleaned.
I have the same exact ones as Mrs Bee, 1 of each. They're so big & it's easy to switch them b/w them, plus activity mat & other toys, etc.
The Baby E jumper's seat is enormous, my almost 6 month olds who are in the 50-75th %ile swim in it & I have to put blankets around them. They use jumpers & exersaucers at day care & still don't really get the jumping thing, I'm not sure why. They do get how to play with the different toys on them though. The exersaucer might be a little overstimulating...there are 4 diff parts that require batteries but I didn't have enough so only 2 parts have them right now & I think I might just rotate the batteries so there isnt so much stuff making noise. Although the arch thing doesn't appear to work & I'm too lazy to return the whole thing right now (it was a huge pita to put together).
