    4 months, after we'd seen the physio about her torticolis and plagiocephaly and they recommended it to get her off her head. She was holding her head up, but not rolling or anything yet. She was in it maybe 10-15 minutes at a time, quite a few times a day (again, physio recommendations).

    We didn't end up trying it, because it was a bit of a disaster this afternoon, but I am pulling it our for tomorrow

    Thanks for that L, she is getting a small flat spot on the back of her head so I want to get her up a bit more, it is good to know that Moosh wasn't rolling either at the time.

    Yep, she didn't roll until after 6 months. Lazy bum!

    she was early compared to DD1 I reckon DD2 should be a bit quicker that her

    3months here but DS had really good neck strength, head control

    Rolling - DS rolled front to back at 4weeks, back to front at 12weeks.... too fast for me!

    DD was 4.5 mths - she had awesome head control and we could have put her in it earlier but she got it as an xmas present so she had to wait ha ha. We use it as a highchair at the moment so she will sit in it for up to 30 mins, but initially was only 5-10 mins at a time.
    Good luck tomorrow!

    Thanks everyone, we have been trying DD2 in the Bumbo, and she will last a little while - 5-8 minuntes at a time, she gets a bit slumpy, so don't want to do it too long until she improves her trunk control a bit more, but she does love it until she gets grumpy
