I'm pregnant (26 weeks) and my tailbone has been absolutely killing me. Would this be worth the buy for me?

Absolutely. I leave mine at work because I simply forget to take it with me, but there are several times in the evening that I wish I had it with me. It really helps alleviate the pain. Plus, the price is right. Even if it helps you half as much as it helps me, it's worth the money. Good luck and congratulations! :)

I believe yet, it would help. Falling while pregnant is actually what broke my tailbone and has caused me so much pain since then. I don't think this pillow would work if you are very heavy. If you are under 170, I think it will work for you. May the birth of your baby be a blessed day. Judith

I just went to a baby store to compare this Joovy with the Graco Sit and Stand, and I will say--I'm 5'9" and the Joovy was a comfy walk. If i walked any faster than a snail with the Graco my toes would get beat up. Good question. Glad I tried them in person before going for the cheaper option (you could tell the Graco was cheaper on quality too). Go Joovy.

I'd say yes. Our baby is more than 22 lbs and still rides comfortably in the Ergo (don't recall how long he is) - you may find that as your daughter gets heavier, *you* are more comfortable with her on your back instead of in front (and the side-carry option is nice to switch things out, though I never do that for long periods of time). We still use the Ergo in all three holds with our little guy. :)

It's a little tough the first few times, but it's do able. Once you get it on, you can leave it on for a while without having to take it off. While you're unstable after delivery anyways, you'll post likely have someone to help you if you need.

I no longer have this chair, it caused severe tail bone pain, so I got rid of it. Probably not okay for full work days, or more than an hour at a time.

I think it is very hard to judge this, for another person. I can tell you this though: I have severe spine problems and have found it impossible to be comfortable,for at least 13 year, since my accident. I have always slept on a firm mattress, because it was recommended by my orthopedist, but didn't feel comfortable. I decided to try the foam topper and can tell you that it has made a big difference in my level of pain. I sleep much better with it, though it doesn't change the level of firmness from the mattress. It just seems to form to my body,which relieves me. You will have to make the judgement about your changing weight and whether it is worth it to experiment. My decision was based on the need for relief and for me the price was worth it, to just try. It is costs a lot less than a whole new mattress, even though $200 + can be also be lot of money,for many of us! I am 73 yrs old and injured. I weigh about 140 lbs. I hope this info is helpful to you.....and best wishes to you and your baby!

Hi, I absolutely love my stroller. Everything is build tight and tough. I didn't buy the B.O.B. due to the lack of support the fabric seems to have and the issues my friends have had. I hope this helped.

My experience is a reduction in back pain which I have suffered with for years. However, I have had an increase in hip pain. The bed is soft enough that I sink in some and it cradles me. I believe the increase in pain is related to the fact that I no longer toss and turn. I think my body had become so used to moving that I stiffen up a little not moving. The bed is definitely softer than I would like, but I do sleep through the night which is new for me. I would call the bed comfortable, supportive is not the first word that comes to mind. In our household we spend quite a bit of time sitting in the bed and it is much more comfortable to sleep in than to sit on. For us, it has been an improvement over a traditional mattress.

I wouldn't... I was around your size pre baby and this didn't really work for me. I got something else from target for 29.99

Thank you for the advise. I went ahead and ordered it out of our medical fund. But I will definalty look into the babies can't wait for the rest of our modifications.

I wouldn't think this would be a good one for a baby that can't support their head yet. It's a nice stroller when they get a little older unless you live in the country then it sucks and it's hard to turn and jog with.

Movements? Probably so, especially if you are far along and your baby is taking up a lot of room. You may even be able to hear the heartbeat! Congrats!

I realize this is a very late reply to your query, but I thought I'd answer anyway. I sometimes take several months to make a decision about a major purchase. This is super sturdy and doesn't feel bouncy or like you are leaning forward. It feels really good, very solid. it is very comfortable. I am out of shape and needed to start exercising, and my use of this is increasing over time -- I am up to 3x a week.

Welcome! If you can stuff it in your suitcase, I would bring. I don't go anywhere without mine and I'm 34 weeks.

Love it for my baby ... we had a bit highchair (that I hated) - but did recline a bit, which is good for under 6 mo. But you can feed in the bouncy chair and then start using this for your everyday and everywhere chair. Seriously amazed at how much nicer it is to not have a simple booster over one of the expensive highchairs.

That is how I use it and it was the main reason I bought it. It provides a nice smooth, firm surface for the baby to lay on. When they are young and not mobile, it is perfectly fine to use and should not present a safety issue.

It has held for me and I have had it several months. I got it because I am pregnant and it helps to keep me comfortable when sleeping.
