Which does your baby like? We have an exersaucer, and Mia isn't a fan of it for more than 5 min. So I just sold it to a friend on fbook and am thinking of getting a jumparoo. Which do you have? And for those with older babies, how long did your baby use it? I want something I can keep her in esp when she starts crawling when I need to shower, cook, etc and can't watch her 100%.

We have both, but our exersaucer is out of commission right now! Nate LOVES the jumperoo, moreso than Nick did! Nick NEVER jumped in it, just played with the toys. Around 14 months he started jumping in it, but then started walking the next month so we put it away around 1.5. Def. worth the money if you get it now though!

Braylon has the baby einstein version of the jumperoo at home - and loves jumping in it. At day care they have a exersaucer and while he does ok in it I think he enjoys his jumper at home better.

My DD had an exersaucer and she didn't like being in it very much but loved to play with it while standing next to it once she learned to pull up and stand.
We have the rainforest jumperoo and I am pretty sure Blake would not like anything that he couldn't jump in. The jumperoo is my hero these days!

Jaxon has an exersaucer and he won't stay in it for more than 5 min either. I'm not sure that he'd like the jumperoo any better though because I think the frustration comes from not being able to get from point a to b. He is much happier on the ground and we are going to get him his cousin's baby pen this weekend from my parent's house. That's just my little monster though

The exersaucer wouldn't do much for Nolan, he is OBSESSED with jumping in the jumperoo. Once he figured out he could jump it was over. He jumps so much now that he jumps up and down whenever you stand him up now, haha.

we had both for eli, and the exersaucer got plenty of love, but he absolutely hated the jumperoo. every pic i have of him in it he is crying and make yucky faces lol.
this time around, we didn't get gifts like we did before, and i decided not to go crazy buying all that stuff. so i bought an excersaucer-like thing at walmart, that was only $35, and he loves it. the bottom is made to spring up and down so he can jump in it too. it's the Bright Starts brand. it's sort of a combination of the two. haven't tried a jumperoo, we don't really have much room to put anything else unless we get rid of something we already have like the swing or the bouncy chair. maybe when one of those goes, we'll try to find a jumperoo on craigslist.

We have a jumperoo at home and an exersaucer at G-ma's (she babysits 3 days a week) and Collin definitely prefers the exersaucer. He goes into his own little world playing with that thing, and will play for at least 20-30 minutes. The jumperoo is fun, but only lasts 10 minutes or so.

We have an exersaucer and Marina likes it for a little bit. When she gets cranky we take her out which makes her even angrier, silly girl! We have a rainforest one I think and she gets so angry at the crocodile on it, but gets so much angrier if we take it off. We mainly use it when I babysit because I need a safe place for her to play in.

We have both. I registered for a jumperoo only, but received only an excersaucer at my showers I ended up purchasing a used jumperoo on craigslist for $15 recently though because Jace loves using the one at daycare.
Jace likes both of them at different times. Sometimes he will jump in the jumperoo for 30 minutes straight - laughing and giggling the whole time. Other times he doesn't really want to be in it at all though. He's not as giggling in the excersaucer, but he can spend a long time content in it looking at the toys and chewing on them. I am glad I have both, but had I not received the exersaucer as a gift, I would definitely purchase both used at a mom2mom or on craigslist...

My parents have an exersaucer & not a jumperoo & she's happy in it wen she's there.
BUT, we have a jumperoo b/c she can be a little more 'active' in that than an exersaucer & when we bought it we figured they're so similar that we didn't need TWO big things taking up space. And she LOVES it!

We have the precious planet jumperoo, basically the same thing I think the toys are just different. I love it because the music isn't obnoxiously loud! Don't forget that 20% off coupon!

We have both, Jonas plays with the toys in the excersaucer and jumps in the jumperoo as well as play w/the toys. He will stay in the jumper longer than the saucer he is always fidgeting so I think that's why he likes the jumper, it makes him feel like he's getting somewhere lol. You can always buy the jumperoo at walmart and if she doesn't like it just box it back up and take it back .
