Jumperoos, etc

in March 2011 Moms

ok way back when i was dilligent about reading up on baby things and being pregnant and registering for gifts i was all ready to get a jumperoo. but we didn't get one as a gift and i've forgotten everything i read and now we're ready to buy one so any one have any great recommendations?

addy will be 4 months next week and has great head control and loves standing up, my only concern is that she is too tiny.  she might be 12 lbs with a full diaper but she's over 24" long.  should that be a worry? i want to buy one soon because we have a 20% off coupon and even if we can't put her in it right exactly today, i'm sure she'll be in it soon.

or should i just get an old school walker? i've seen a handful of them in target and babies r us and think that would help but i'm not sure if i'm ready (or the dog for that matter) for her to be mobile.

    I was just researching this today and the Fisher Price jumperoos get great reviews.  I believe I read that walkers are considered unsafe now, but I can't remember for sure.  My DD is short and chunky so she might be big enough but she's not even 3 months so she doesn't quite have the head control yet.  She loves to "stand" though, I can't wait for her to be able to use one of those!

    K has a walker and a jumper. She loves them both! She is almost 4 months and doesn't even weigh 10 lbs yet but is super long! We put blankets around her when she is in the jumper.

    That's great your smaller baby can fit!!! And I think the problem with walkers was that people were letting their kids fall down the stairs. We live in a first story apartment so I'm not too concerned for anything except the dog. We might just keep Addy rangled in the dining/kitchen area if we go for the walker

    We have the FP Luv U Zoo jumperoo and DS loves it! He is about 16lbs probably between 25 and 26 in but I still put a rolled up receiving blanket behind him and a pillow under his feet so he can reach everything. He has been using his for about 3 weeks now and seriously can spend more and more time in there being entertained every day (which means mommy loves it too Wink)

    My son LOVED his FP Rainforest Jumperoo and I can't wait for my daughter to use it. It was great for us in every way and I have no complaints. I can't comment on walkers because they're not allowed in Canada (boo).

    Little man only likes his FP Rainforest jumperoo in small doses for right now but I'm very glad we have it. I put a box under his feet for now :)

    I have horrible knee problems and I have always joked with my mother that its her fault for leaving me in one of those doorway jumpers as a baby. That being said... DD has an excersaucer and I plan on purchasing her one of those super cute Combi GT walkers. If I had a basement or a 2 level house, I probably wouldn't have a walker (several friends I know up north have had their babies "walk" down the stairs) but since we live in FL in a 1 level home, we will be purchasing one.

    Thanks for the help ladies. We went to BRU and looked at the Fisher Price ones. They looked really nice but we actually bought a Baby Einstein one. I liked that it had more adjustments for height and you could attach extra toys. We were even able to use a 20% off coupon. Addy instantly loved it. I put pics up on the FB group and wrote a blog if anyone else was wondering about them. https://wp.me/pYLo8-8S. (Sorry its not clicky, I'm on my phone. You can just click my blog button in the siggy too)
