Seating for a 18 week old

[Crazypetlady]

Hi!
I posted the other day about a walker seeing if they were recommended or not. They weren't. so we can't use that He has outgrown his bouncer so now I am looking for something I can put him in whilst I do other jobs. I have a carrier but it's a pain to wash up with or bend so it isn't suitable for everything.
Any ideas would be great!

Baby bjorn - v easy to move from room to room.

Galt playnest (DD1 didn't like it much but DD2 loves it)

Jumperoo (I used it from about 4.5 months)

Babybjorn Balance bouncy chair (much more upright than other bouncy chairs - DD2 is still happy in hers at 6 months if I attach a play arch to it)

Highchair with a rolled up towel or long cushion wedged around them to prop them up

Only the highchair or a playpen/travel cot would keep him away from the dog though

He isn't quite at the 9.5kg weight limit but his bum touches the floor and it leans backwards maybe in need of a new bouncer one of the longer lasting ones. Will have a look at the nests and bumbos thank you.
I can't have a door bouncer due to a boundy dog.

Another big recommendation for the fisher price rocker that goes from birth to 2 - with two children we got nearly four wonderful years of use from ours! Definitely best child thing we had over the years.

What type of dog have you got? I was amazed how fast ours learnt not to even sniff around the kids stuff.

At that age my daughter's pediatrician told me that she'd be better off in a walker than in a jumparoo/doorway bouncer. Due to the fact that the latter can potentially put younger babies, with weaker neck and head control, at risk for shaken-baby type injuries.
That was some years ago, but I don't think that either babies or physics have changed very much in the meantime.

Thank you for all the information. We have a husky/collie collie/chow cross nobody is sure. He is very gentle with ds he sniffs when he gets a new toy and leaves because it his and is slow moving around him.
I was just worried about him running through to the living room and not realizing it is there.

I didn't know that Ninja I thought walkers were bad for their development. There is so much conflicting advice!

I think I will get him an inflatable ring today.

I don't need to separate him from the dog completely just didn't want him knocking the door bouncer:)

I think the jury is still out regarding walkers anyway. They may be better than bouncers, but not necessarily better than not having one at all.

Yes, I should have clarified, she didn't exactly recommend a walker, only said that it was preferable to a bouncer. I had asked because when she was that age Daughter refused to actually sit - she wanted to be standing up but didn't have the balance to do it without support.

We had an inflatable ring, though with a dog around, II would have used a play pen.I
