Do you think they are ok to use

[jelly15]

never used one myself buy friend says they are great. I expect it is like walkers etc used in moderation and supervised they are fine.

I have two , I think they're fab and have used them for a while

[patevans]

I have always wanted one but thought they were too expensive, I know a lot of people who use them and think they are fab!

Ive got one which my daughter used when she was a baby and its just come out of the loft again to use for my baby mindee, my FIL bought us ours as they are quite expensive, maybe try and get one one on ebay,gumtree etc

[ORKSIE]

I have got one, I have a new Mindee starting soon and I wondered if it would be ok to use it.

Used one for the first time last week at a Surestart Centre, the lo sat quite happily in it for about 15 mins playing with toys. Would buy one but will have a look on ebay first.

One of June's parents bought two for her daughter, one for home and one for when she was at Junes. When she could sit unaided she let us keep it for any mindees that were of a suitable age!!! Have used it a few times and its great, but always check with parents that it is ok with them!!

my friend had one and is was great for her baby but she put it away in the end as her 2 year old thought it was a potty and kept 'going' in it!

I've got one and find it great, though you only tend to use it for a couple of months whilst baby develops the strength to sit unaided. The older kids always seem to try and wear it on their heads
I would say good for childminding as you will usually get your moneys worth as it gets used by subsequent children. Also it tends to keep babies a little safer from other LO's as I find the cushions I pile around babies tend to disappear to make dens

[ORKSIE]

Thanks Ladies....I will ask the Mum of the new LO and see if she minds me using it, as I know they are very useful

[emler]

I got one for ds recently & it's fab. I got mine from Amazon & it was only £20 so check if it's still on offer there

[Annie_T]

ive got one - mum gave it to me for her ickle one,

she likes sitting in it but has worked out she can use legs so ends up toppling out of it (i place cushions round her for this

Hi

Use with care and supervise, I know a couple of kids who have had accidents . . . my friend now calls it the EVIL BUMBO!!!!

[grindal]

Just want to echo what the last 2 posters have said. DS1 managed to get out of his at the tender age of 6 months and fell onto the floor. he was a skinny little thing and just managed to twist himself round so far he flicked his legs out. Personally I do not like them, I think they instill a false sense of security and I also know people who put them on tables and work tops too

[ORKSIE]

I also know people who put them on tables and work tops too

[miss muffit]

I have one and think they are very useful

i wouldnt recommend putting them on the table or worktops

[Annie_T]

I also know people who put them on tables and work tops too

My thought exactly

no way would i place on table etc - floor only

[miffy]

I've never heard of them!

Would only use it if the parents were happy for me to use it.
