    DD loved her Jumperoo (google it, Fisher Price make them). It's very similar to an activity centre but they can bounce as well. Not sure what the problem is with the Jolly Jumper from a physio perspective but if it's the seating position, the jumperoos and activity centres would be out too then.

    We used the jumperoo a lot (because DD loved it so much, it was gorgeous!) and we used our jolly jumper (she much preferred her jumperoo) and DD is fine. She crawled at 8 months and walked a couple of days before her first birthday. Her development wasn't affected at all.

    Take her outside if the weather allows. Even watching the light through the rustling leaves will entertain them for ages. Otherwise, do you have a carrier? That keeps them upright and close to the action. They're often happy if they can just see what's going on. I often sit DD in her high chair in the kitchen if I'm cooking, for eg. Also setting her up near where DS is playing helps He's very entertaining.
