This.

We use both every single day, but Lena is a bit older than some of the babies on here since she made an early debut

Even before we started solids, if she was awake when we were eating dinner, we would recline the the seat and she'd sit and play with toys and watch us eat. She LOVES her exersaucer.

This except we just started the high chair (we are FF) and just started cereal. I was feeding her cereal in the bumbo, but she was too interested in leaning over to look at either the dogs or the patterns on the table cloth, which made feeding a challenge. I started the high chair and she does great!

Yes our LO has been using his exersaucer everyday since we got it a few weeks ago, he loves it. We have used the highchair a couple times but not for him to eat because he isnt eating solids yet, we are waiting until 5 months.

We use her jumperoo every day. She isnt on solids yet but I still put her in the highchair to play with toys or something. She likes going in there to watch me while I cook or do the dishes.

TiffanyTheMom · June 2011

We use both! Our high chair reclines, so I strap LO in there every time we eat. It gets her used to the idea of eating at certain times, and eating as a family. We haven't started solids yet, but she does use the high chair. I even put her in it when I'm in the kitchen putting away dishes- strap her in, roll her over and then I have an eye on her and she's close to me and safe from the older kids.

We have a rainforest jumperoo, and she LOVES it! Though, my home visitor advised me to not let her be in it for more than 10 min a day because it can cause hip dysplasia (the wide crotch in the seat causes baby's legs to grow out to the side instead of facing forward, iykwim) but she spends about 30 min a day in there- just not all at once. She loves it and has been known to fall asleep in it.

No, neither. I'm itching to break out the exersaucer, though. We tried putting her in it a few weeks ago, and she was still a little too wobbly. Also, she has mild torticollis and the PT advised us to hold off on it until it's corrected. As for the high chair, she's still EBF so we haven't needed it. We don't even own one yet. I DO like somebody else's suggestion of putting baby in there while DH and I are eating, though...that would be a lot better than having her way down on the floor in her bouncy seat, which is usually what happens. Maybe we'll have to get one this week!

Thanks for all of the awesome feedback! We are still breastfeeding but I have been thinking about using the high chair while we eat vervus the bouncer. I'm glad to hear so many of you are. And i may pick up a Rainforest excersaucer this week. Thanks!!

We put the exersaucer together a few weeks ago- DS is fairly tall for his age and he's already on the highest setting. He enjoys it. No high chair just yet as he's EBF.

I have the jumperoo..DS legs don't touch the ground yet Huh?

And he is still a little wobbly. Hm. Hope that goes away soon.

My LO was early so he's 5 months now. He's using the FP Rainforest jumperoo and loves it. I also just started introducing cereal this weekend and it's going well. I have the FP spacesaver high chair.

Lucky_Dragonfly · June 2011

I just set the exersaucer up yesterday and she had a blast in it. we have put her in the high chair so that she is at the same level as us when we eat and she seems to like that, but also we are starting to to solids as well.

MamaToK · June 2011

DD has been in an exersaucer since about 2 months (she was closely watched) but we don't use the high chair yet. We do use the Bumbo with the tray though (she still just get's BM, so she just uses it to hold her toys.)

Wufroggy79 · June 2011

Yes to high chair (we just started cereals three days ago). No to the exersaucer, but I'm dying to use it. We have the Evenflow Triple Fun Jungle, and the way the seat is must require REALLY good sitting skills or something because C can't seem to hold herself up enough to be able to play with the toys. I've tried stuffing a towel in there, but it's still kinda rough.

She's been using the FP Rainforest Jumperoo for about 3 weeks now. LOVES it.

Yes exersaucer since just before 4 month mark; initially I stuffed a blanket behind him for extra support, but now he is strong enough to hang out on his own.

Yes to high chair (in reclined position), as of Sunday for first experience with cereal
