I think I found a new "babysitter!"

The inventor of the jumperoo deserves fame and fortune! What a great toy! :lol:

We got ours out of the attic, and washed and assembled the first one. Benny got the first try. After 15 minutes, we pulled him out to give AJ a try... and Benny screamed and ogled his brother... until DH got the second jumperoo assembled and put Benny back in!

Here's a couple of pics: (sorry about the quality; my camera battery was running low and the pics were either whited out or hazy! And, excuse the clutter; we are preparing to list our house, so there's junk everywhere!)

Benny studies his jumperoo

AJ loves his jumperoo

 

Mine loved the jumperoo so much that they cried when I'd take them out. Around that age, Aiden was in PT & she kept 'scolding' me for using the jumperoo & exersaucer. But the 45 mins I allowed of them in it were HEAVEN sent b/c they were soooo happy & I could get lots done!

 

Mine love the jumperoo too. It is nice to have a little break!!!!

 

Jumperoos are awesome!! Wait until they figure out how to jump, it is priceless!!


Just a little note though...when we had EI here for the girls to be evaluated for developmental delays, the physical therapist cautioned against using it for more than 10 minutes, twice a day. Do what you see fit, I just wanted to throw that tidbit out there.

 

My girls also love their jumperoo's!! I had to buy a second one once I realized what a hit they are! I dont know what I would do without them! I love the pics, they are too cute!

only 10 minutes? why?

 

Our PT said the same thing, only I think she said up to 30 mins twice a day. Something about their hips, I think. Just make SURE that they land on their tippy toes when they're just sitting there...they should NEVER be flat footed b/c that's even worse on their hips/knees. Obviously, when they're bouncing like crazy, they'll go flat footed, but when they're just sitting there with the toys, they should always be up a little more.

I went against the advice of the PT & so far, my boys are moving ok. Conner's a little behind, but he's got some hip/knee issues that he was born with that I personally think is causing his 'delay'. Aiden appears right on track & he's the one who was in the Jumperoo the most!

 

Mine loved the jumperoo too. We got one later than we wanted but DD went nuts in that thing, one day she bounced so much she fell asleep in it :laughing: then DS loved it so much we had to put it up a notch because he was hitting it with his foot flat and we figured it couldn't feel too good. Now they both are not interested because they are mobile but it was fun while it lasted.
