Have any testers here gotten yours? MIne’s on the way to me in Canada, but I’m just curious how those who’ve gotten it already are liking it.

Denise, I inquired and the testing program is now full.

I want to apply to be a tester but it asks for a username and password. What do I put in? Or, How do i get a username and password? This thing looks awesome. We go camping alot and this sure would come in handy.

Figures. They come out with something that would’ve been really useful after I needed it. Grrr… But it’s a great idea.

I am also a tester! This is going to be wonderful when we go to the park now that my 6 month old is crawling. I’m so glad that Thingamababy told us about the Tester positions. I didn’t have the money to spend on the popatot, but I do have the time to simply journal and take photos.

I just got accepted as a tester too! I was afraid they’d be like so many companies who want nothing to do with Canada, but they are glad to spread the word in Canada as well. Smart people, I must say… we Canadians spend a LOT of money on American stuff, but so many companies think we don’t matter to their bottom line, and treat us accordingly :(

I’m also signed up to test this item. I can’t wait! Soccer season is here for my 10 yr old, and I was dreading having to corral my 7 month old who is on the verge of crawling.

I signed up for their product tester program and was accepted! I have to submit a weekly journal and pictures of our 9 mo. old in it.

This will be such a welcome relief from her stupid exersaucer!

This looks pretty awesome.

We have an exersaucer, but I have two complaints about it:

1. It's huge. It's not portable, and whoever said it was is insane. It's huge enough that I can't even really store it so it's always out.

2. The toys are tough to remove and rotate. You're almost stuck with what's there.

I want one :) My four month old is a smidge too small for this yet, but perhaps for Christmas.

I also like the fact that you technically could put this in a suitcase. We're about to head to TX on vacation and there's little in the way of baby stuff there. I don't want to pack much, but this would be a nice middle ground piece of equipment to allow her to see the room and me to have my arms free for a bit.

I must say this does look really good for camping and travel! I also thought about visiting kidless houses or those summer BBQs and park picnics. My son is probably verging on too big for this but I will be considering it for the next kid!

We do have an exersaucer but it was pretty much only used if I had to take a shower while tending to my son alone. It is so bulky I don't even like to drag it around the house so I can't imagine taking it anywhere with me. We also had to remove a toy and there was another that we didn't remove but caused endless frustration.
