A little longer than 5 months. I thought he would be sleeping in it when he went to college, but DH put him in the crib on a whim one night after a MOTN wakeup and it just stuck. DS never went back.

Um, when DS rolled over in it, slid out on his belly, and crawled out of the room (fortunately I was coming in to check on him because I heard him stirring). I think it was 7-8 months. He was reaching the weight limit at that point anyway, but it was the only place he'd nap, so I just stuck with it for naps until then. So, in my case, too long, but he obviously showed us it was time to pack it up.
We stopped around 5-6 months. However, she slept in it swaddled so we couldn't strap her in and she started wiggling around enough at that point that it made me nervous. If she would have slept in it without the swaddle we might have kept her in it longer.
DD, a long time, probably 8 months or so until she was sleep trained and in the crib, but I still put her in it around the house. She was a late crawler and had very little interest in rolling.
DS is 5 months and I think we're done. He sleeps in the crib and our bed, I can't even put in in the RNP while I shower or get ready because he's rolling all over the place and nearly falling out.

The visual of this is cracking me up. Oh hey guys! Just slid out of my RNP to see what was going on out here.

Haha...that is basically how it happened. He just crawled out of the room grinning. Since he managed to do it uninjured, it was pretty amusing. And I packed up the thing like 0.3 seconds after he made his appearance.
He never slept in it overnight. It was used as a place to set him down around the house when I needed my arms free for a few minutes. I'm pretty sure we packed it away by 6 months.
I would throw him in it while we were eating dinner, and while I pumped. Sometimes while showering.
Almost 3 months and still going strong. We just use it at night right now bc they have bouncers for naps during the day. I'm nervous if it will give them flat spots.
