I have a 17 week old. Do you think this would work for him? He can hold his head up and just seems to be bored in his Bumbo.

Yes! He will love it and it is great for feeding when you first begin solids

Yes, it should work. It also is a little more roomy than the bumbo, so they can fit in it a little longer. My baby is now almost 9 months and he still likes it. He definitely liked it a lot more than he liked the bumbo, so we got rid of the bumbo early on.

I think if he can hold his head up he should be able to sit in it!He would love it!! My grandson loves his!

I am sorry but this was a gift for my 2 great grandchildren. So I can't answer the question, as far as I know they like the toy.

We purchased the jumper when he was 4 months old. He'd be happy for about 10 minutes at a time. At 6 months he enjoyed it much more. He'd be happy for up to 30 minutes, either watching his brother play or me cooking etc. By then he could turn in the direction he wanted to see and manipulate the toys much better. At 7 months it's still a favorite spot for him and he gets crazy height on his bounces. Fun toy!

I think it depends on how big they are and how much head control they have. I used it for my first daughter before she could sit up....I loved it. It is something that I plan to use again on my second who is a week old. I will probably try him in it when he is a month or so old to see how he does....it is worth the investment...it also protects the fabric seat well into when they are older.

I started mine at almost 3 1/2 months. I had to put a blanket down at first but a few weeks later no blanket was needed. He was alittle fussy the first few times we used it but he got the hang of it with in a few days and with in a week he loved it. Now he will bounce for hrs he will even fall asleep in it. That is by far one of the best investments so far. I have even tried to move it to the 2nd stage but when I did he could not reach it so he is still in stage 1 and he is 25 1/2 inches when I got it for him he might had ben 24 or 24 1/2 inches.

It has a harness that goes over the shoulders, so in theory a little one that can hold their head up should be OK. Being that our youngest just turned 2, I'm not sure how much you can shorten the harness straps to accommodate a little peanut.

Hi Laura, My baby I 5 months and I find she uses it to e active - kicking, bouncing. He has never slept in it! For sleep we use the fisher price rock and play. Hope that helps!

Lol! I hadn't noticed but I feel like my baby was completely safe when she was smaller. She is 14 months now and I have been using it since she was 9 months about 3 days a week. She can climb out of it now and it tips so maybe that's why? Sorry I couldn't be more help.

If your little one is having problems with walking this product will certainly help by building up his/her leg muscles which will eventually help baby's self-esteem. As far as shyness goes, it depends how often he has interaction with family members, babies of the same age or could just be a part of baby's character. Give it time, your little one is only 8 months old but he/she should enjoy this product. I know the baby who was lucky enough to receive this product did and his legs didn't quite reach the floor but that's where some interaction came into play. I walked baby around in it. Lots of little laughs!!

We use this with our 3month old and just recline one seat all the way back. He usually falls right to sleep! I was nervous about using it with him since he can't sit up on his own but once I got him in there it worked just great!

Babies must be able to hold up their heads well before you put them in any toy that doesn't have good head support. If your baby doesn't have good neck strength then they need more tummy time to strengthen their neck muscles. I know because I am a retired OT.

No, my baby is 11 months old and she doesn't enjoy that much anymore. She love it when she was 5 to 10 months now she is crowling ever where she doesn't like to stay there anymore.

Hi! It would probably work as it isn't real stiff. It is comfortable & kind of soft. Good luck to you & your little one. Munchkin ���

Yes, that was my main reason for buying it and it worked great - it's big/snug enough that it actually held his head in place. Between doing this and putting a towel under the car seat platform (we have a minivan with bucket seats that tilted it way too far) it was MUCH better for him....

Sorry..misread the question. So he is 6 mo now and still uses it. The problem I can see happening is that pretty soon he will be able to grab it and then it will be a safety issue. So I guess it would depend on how active your little one is.

We use it for our 17 month old now, but practiced using it at 15 months old in his room. We travel now and it works when there isn't a crib available. But if he's not very tired, he likes to crawl off of it. He is a very active boy though.

I think it's too bulky for a 17 lbs baby, I stopped using ours by 15 lbs when it started looking uncomfortable. Now I just use one of those cute u form pillows to hold babys head when falls asleep in the car, it has soft toys giraffes on the side she can play with while awake, and it's roomy so her head still has room to move.

I wouldn't use this for a newborn. You can lay the back down all the way and buckle the baby in but it is better if they can hold their head up.
