DS was 6 months old yesterday - today he learned a new trick - how to bounce himself right out of his bouncy chair!!! Even if he's strapped in he can arch his back and twist himself over the side!! What can i do with him??!!

time to get rid of the bouncy chair I'm afraid

you now need seats with 5 point harnesses

got a bumbo on the way this week - can he sit in that in place of his bouncy one?

DD is starting to twist out of her bumbo (she's 7 months and quite placid)

I think Bumbos are great but they don't 'make' them stay in one place if they've got a mind to get out they can thrust themselves out of them

the only thing that can make them stay will be a 5 point harness I think

as he gets older it'll get easier though .. he's just checking out what he can do at the moment

tell me about it!! What he can do is arch his back so he's in, like, a 'crab' and then flip himself out of it!! Pickle is not the word!!!
