Hi Kay. If you are feeling crafty this is what we use for our Megan. We also have leg pieces that we put on her and it puts her in a sitting position and we can swing her.....Megan LOVES it, it allows her to do weight bearing and have lots of fun. With the surgical tubing it is like bungy cord and we can let her jump around etc. It is a harness system with a track on the ceiling. Good luck I hope you find what you are looking for.
Tracy

Hi Kay. We used the Teekoz jumper for Tyler for several years. It is a neoprene vest and can be used for different ages. I honestly don't know if Southpaw has one for much larger children. I believe we bought it for Tyler when he was around 4 or 5 years old. He loved it. We used the double bungee straps because they can hold up to 125 lbs. I believe. After Tyler stopped using the vest, we attached a fish net swing and a tumble form seat to form a swing for him. He can still use that. Even his little siblings love to play in it.

Hi Kay,

I'm hoping Tamie, will be around soon to see this.

Not sure, but if not maybe someone else will be.
