Hobey - ball pit balls?

[jslatch]

What a cool idea! Where did you get the balls for it? How old was your child when you started putting him/her in? (i.e. when is it safe?) The photo is so cute! Thanks!

I'm not Hobey, but we did this too. I think we started around 7 months, I would think it's safe whenever they are sitting and scooting around. We stopped around 11 months when he started preferring to pull up and cruise around in the PandP, and he was also starting to toss the balls out.

We got the balls at Target, around $12/100 balls, we bought 200. Only the larger Targets carry them.

We started when he was able to sit up without support (around 6.5-7 months). We bought 2 boxes of the Fisher Price Box of 100 balls at Toys R Us.

Thank you, Susan and Raquel! Ben is ALMOST sitting up but not quite, and I think he'd love this. Thanks for the tip.
