Just out of curiosity - ds is almost 6 months. Nowhere near sitting up on his own yet tho

5.5 months - all 3 of mine were around this age. But I have fat beanbag babies, they kind of spread out when you sit them up and this keeps them upright

It varies lots. DD was 17 weeks. A friends DS was about 7 or 8 months.
