Jumperoo, Walker or Activity Chair?

aimee-lou · Jan 29th, 2010, 06:15 AM

Please can someone give me some recommendations on any of the three? In about a month Earl will officially be too heavy for his bouncer, and we can't afford to buy lots of different things for him.

I had my eye on a Summer Super Seat

This has about 4 uses as a sitter, booster, activity chair etc but it's £40 ish so I didn't want to buy it then find that there's something better out there and not be able to afford the alternative.

What do you use and would you recommend it?

Thanks

At the moment, I can't recommend the jumperoo enough

We have to use a big cushion otherwise Romilly would just dangle there, but she loves it! She likes her bouncer too, but the jumperoo totally captivates her, she's quite happy playing in it for what seems like ages

They are pricey, ours was a Christmas present from my parents (bought with Tesco vouchers when the double-up event was on

) But well worth it, imo. There seem to be lots about on the likes of Ebay, maybe have a look there if you didn't mind it being second hand?

Hope you find something that works for you and Earl

Esmé loves her jumperoo. We have the rainforest one and she loves talking to the yellow monkey!

I googled for discount codes and we got it for £74.99 Inc free delivery from Mothercare just before Christmas. X

Finn adores his jumperoo, will play in it for much longer than he will in his walker! We got him that after the jumperoo and now when hes in it for the first 5 mins he tries to bounce until he realises he can go forward.

I would go for a jumperoo over anything else

We have all three (either given to us or second hand purchases) and I can't say how valuable each one has been. We sort of put Violet on a "course" of sorts--when she gets bored in one, she can move to the other.

The Jumperoo goes with me throughout the house (when I do laundry, I put her in the laundryroom doorway) and so she gets a variety of visual stimulation; the walker is usually in the kitchen or in her bedroom, and the activity chair-thingee goes a number of places. My husband even bundles he up and takes her outside in it when he's raking leaves, or working in the yard. That way, she's contained, but still involved in what he's doing.
