Will this be well-suited for my 8 month old who is 20 pounds? There is no specification for age range listed with this toy. I wish there was!

It sure will, I got it last year for my 6 month old granddaughter and it was fine, and she was smaller than your bundle of joy. She loved everything about it. She is now 18 months old and still loves to play and bounce around in it. She is close to 30 lbs now and is pretty tall for her age. I see no problem for you.

Probably not. I am about to move mine up to the highest level for my almost 8 month old and she only weighs about 15 pounds. After she outgrows that height she will not be able to use it any more. I started using it with her when she was about 6 months old, and we probably should have started her earlier because even then we were on the second of 3 heights. I love this excersaucer, but I don't think you will get enough use out of it to spend the money on it. Hope that helps!

We used it from 4 months and still use it every now and then (my son is currently 11 months old). It is definitely a go-to toy when I just need to be hands free for a couple of minutes, but he's outgrown staying in it much longer than 5 minutes at a time. At 8 months, we probably used it several times a day still, but it might not be worth the $ at this point. I would be more concerned with the height. At 30 inches, my son is at the last height level, and I'm pretty sure that's the maximum recommended height, too. We'll probably pack it up right around his birthday...

I pulled it out for our 3 month old baby boy and his 20 month old sister started using it again every day. She had jumped in it from 4 months until she was 13 months. Now that she is almost 2, she is spinning and twirling and doing 360s. She goes crazy wild in it but she is small, only 21 lbs and 32 inches high and she is at the jumper's limit.

My toddler is 21 months and has been using this for about 2 months. There's a lot more he could do with it if he were a little older, so I'm hopeful that he'll continue to play with it for at least another 6-12 months.

My toddlers love them, as do their cousins (ages 4-8), as does my husband! I think there is a very broad age range for this toy.

I bought my grandson one and he played with it well past two. Once the baby start walking they play with it untill they get interested in more independent type toys. I would say nine months to two in a half. This is a great item price wise.o

I think it may be too babyish for a 21 month old, I bought it as a one year old's gift and it's perfect for her for now, but I think at 21 months, it may not be as fun!

Our grandson was 2 and is now 3 and still using it. I think even through age 4 to 5 he will still have fun with it. Hope that helps. He currently weighs sound 30-32 pounds. The toy seems to be sturdy

I have no idea- I bought this toy for my 12 month-old and she loves it!! At 15 months she is still interested in it but I think she may get bored with it by the time she's 2. Maybe the warning is because of the little hammer?

I think it would be too small. An eight month old would probably be able to sit up over the top of the bars, and might be able to tip it over (it's kind of top heavy). My daughter only used it until month 4.

Hi Joanie, not sure if this is actually suitable for a 2 yr old as the car moves very easily and makes it a bit difficult to control. Though it also depends on how mature the child is. I have a 15 months old boy that tries to play with it and manages to move it but we only allow him to try on flat surfaces and for small amount of times. I have to say though, that it is by far one of the best toys we've gotten our 5 yrs old. It's fun and easy to handle for him.

It appears to be useed for infants up to toddler (adjustable seat and height). I would recommend you inquire the manufacturer at fisher-price.com for more specific info.

There's really no age group to this train set; I bought this set when my baby was 5mos old, she play with it then (put parts in her mouth) and now, she is 10mos old and still plays with it. I think we'll have it till she is much older, like 3-4 years old. Honestly, I don't think it's truly entertaining for her right now since she only knows how to put things in her mouth, but I'm sure we'll get more use out of it when she learns how to turn it on and off.

I agree with many others. With my first child, the swing stopped reliably working around 16lbs. It would slow down and stop if his weight was at all unbalanced in the swing, so we packed it up. We now have a 13lb. baby and I'm already seeing it stop sometimes. I can usually restart it by turning it off and then back on again, but I think it highly unlikely that a baby over 20lbs. could use it for long!

We sent this to our granddaughter who is 8, she's not overweight, thus she is probably about 40 lbs. This works just fine for her. I would suggest looking at the ad to see what they recommend, as the ball is about 18 inches in diameter.

I got this toy for an 8 yr old and she loved it. The toy was sent to my granddaughter in another state so I have never seen her interact with it. Her father says that she takes the dog for walks and pets it. I believe a two year old may be a little too young to appreciate the toy.

Hi. Sorry it took so long to respond. I would say, based on my experience, that this "toy" is perfect for three to six year olds. I always have a lot of kids at the house and those younger than three and older than six never seem to gravitate towards it. Hope this helps.

It just states up to 12 years of age. Probably between 100-150 lbs should be ok. I'm 200 lbs and I have used it myself! Really fun!
