I LOVED that they are lined with a very soft jersey material. When I brought them out of the closet to put on our son, my husband raised the question of the denim being too rough on his skin. I showed him the interior of the jeans and he felt them. His next comment was how soft they were! — — I would now buy these at full price if I hadn't already bought several sizes when I could get a good deal! — — My only concern is that they may get a little warm during late spring or early summer, but we will probably just dress our son in shorts or light pants at that point...

We had to quickly find some preemie outfits and needed some onesies to go under them for extra warmth. The gerber onesies tend to run small, but for us this was a blessing! The size for 5-8lbs were such a life saver for us! If you have a small baby or a preemie, that size is the way to go! —...

She was talking about how much her little girl loved it, so we decided to get one for our little man. — — Assembly was simple, and we put it together in about 15 minutes or less. The only tool needed is a phillips head screwdriver...and that is only if you intend to put batteries in it for the sounds. (some parents probably choose not to do this!) — — Our son was really happy to just sit in the jumparoo. He is a little small for his age because he was a preemie, but has the skills required to sit in the jumparoo. So, we put a couple of towels under his feet so he could touch and give himself leverage. As he discovered each little part and toy, his eyes would get really big and he would give us the biggest grin! He was a very happy boy. He stayed in it for about 15 minutes and we had to help him bounce, but we know that it won't be long until he will...
