Is there a reason this wouldn't work for a 9 month old (aside from the fine print)? Just thinking from a common sense perspective, not a CYA policy.

The reason would be that your kid would roll off the air mattress onto the floor. This is meant for a toddler, not a 9 month old. We have a 2 year old that loves it, and a 7 month old we would never put in it.

My son was able to play in his until well into his mid 20lbs and he is a big fellow too for his age. He pretty much used it until he started walking at 9 months.

We have used our with 3 babies, all the way up to 9 months, with no problems. You should contact Fisher Price.

No way! My daughter was 8 months when she started to use this. It all depends on where the baby is at when it comes to their balance. If your baby is attempting to stand on their own, and you are extremely sure they have a sense of balance, by all means go for it. It would be recommended to supervise the infant for the first attempts.

I would say its risky. I personally wouldn't want anything around my newborn. I would be worried about their neck getting in a position where they can't breathe. I got it when my son was 4 months old and he immediately came off of it and put it over his face (to chew on). I ended up attaching it to the sheets/mattress pad with safety pins. In a month and a half he figured out how to get his arm under it, which made the some of the pins come out. Glad I have a monitor because he could have poked himself. Anyway I quit using it. Not really worth it for a month and a half use plus I didn't see any improvement in his flat head.

I would give it a try. My son is a little over 8 months. People tend to think he is younger because he is on the smaller side. He is a very active sleeper so it doesnt work well at night anymore, he usually ends up beside it etc.. But, we still use it for diaper changes, hc, swing etc so he's not flat on his head.the part where his head would rest is about 7 inches across in the middle if that helps. If it doesn't work u could save for another baby or loan/give away but I would try it. We will use it as long as possible, I'm sure he appriciates the extra cushion:)

Yes, as long as that 9mth old can use a sippy? Mine is almost 3 yrs old & she still doesn't like the sippy...

9 months old is WAY too young--using a pillow in such a young baby would increase the risk of SIDS/suffocation. Wait until your baby is at least standing/walking independently, but ideally until 2 years old.

No , I would make sure you had some kind of safety belt attached as they ( babies ) are apt to wiggle ! My daughter was stable and reasoned with enough by the age of 2 but before that I would use a safety belt

That's a hard call as it may be big for your little one.I feel like for practicality reasons, it wouldn't be too big for long, but it may seem like she is lost in it for a little while. I don't have experience with the smaller one so I'm not sure how to compare.

Hi Crystal, I can't see why it would not be good for kids. But, I think supervision would be wise.

does anyone know if this letter from the FDA (2012) has been resolved? they are saying it has not been approved for infants. also am trying to see is safe for 2-3 month old. http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2012/ucm323543.htm

I am no expert but we tried when Dd was 4 mo old to ease the transition from swaddling. We didn't like it tho.

It is big enough for a 9 month old but if your 9 month old is very active then they probable will not stay well in it. Even with the security belt they can wiggle a lot and turn it.

My daughter is now 9 months old and she's still using it however, I can't see her using it past 10 months. A bigger baby probably would outgrow this earlier.

Maybe, but at 9 weeks, keeping them from jumping and climbing is hard. It's how they learn to hunt, their reason for being. It won't hurt and it might mellow him out a bit. Just don't expect him to act like an older cat that knows the rules. If it's leather furniture, there are repair kits that are miraculous. Keep his nails trimmed with an cat nail trimmer (start with removing small 1/4" amounts or he won't want to let you do it). Never hit him, and get him fixed. Enjoy your kitten--they are a non-stop entertainment machine.
