Wow 2 years in the swing? All mine, once they could would grab the leg and

stop themselves at a certain point. And I stopped using it then and

there. Plus it had a wight limit of 20 pounds. But at about 5-6 mo they

just would grab the bar and stop it, drove me nuts! lol

Darbi loved her jumper too - thunk, thunk, thunk goes the brace hehe!

Everyone (doctors) contradict each other so much! 's PT told me those jump

up things were TERRIBLE for children's legs and feet.

I was just playing with and letting him jump on the floor when

he stopped and just stood there, legs straight and bearing weight on his

feet! He just turned 4-months on July 25th. His feet were flat on the

floor, although his one foot tips toward the inside a bit at times, but

that's from the muscle imbalance and should hopefully fix itself when he

starts walking. I was just soooo happy to see him bear weight on his feet

and to see that they were flat on the floor! I wasn't expecting that to

happen for a while yet. Just wanted to share!

Our physio said that everything including the walkers are all fine used in

MODERATION. We had a jumper and Connor would go in for 10 mins or so. They

don't actually take weight but they can feel their feet. He also had a

walker but didn't go in that for long periods. I think problems start when

they are put in things for hours on end....

That makes since. had a saucer but like with most toys and most babies,

they grow bored of them fairly quickly.

has an exersaucer and some other type of activity center with

the seat, but he won't stay in them for very long periods, either...maybe

10-15 minutes....20 at the most, and that's rare, so I don't worry about

watching the clock to make sure he's not in them for too long....he does

that for me! LOL He enjoys them for a short time, and then wants to move

on to something else. I thought about trying a jumper since he really likes

doing that, but I heard they weren't good for them and created frustration

because no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't get out of the doorway.

Plus, I don't really have a doorway that I could put it in.....We live in a

small condo and both our room and his room are too close to the stairs for

me to be comfortable...bathroom too. No doorways downstairs to put it in

either. The exersaucer is supposed to bounce, and it has springs to

bounce, but he doesn't seem to bounce it in. I don't know if he's just not

strong enough yet to make it bounce or not, or if it's just not very good

for that.
