We used an Amby bed from the time DS was 2.5 to 5 months old. We would have used it longer, but he outgrew it. (He is over the 90th percentile for both height and weight. Most babies would be able to use it longer than 5 months.)
One benefit of the Amby bed is that it elevated DS's head and upper body just slightly. DS never spit up in his Amby bed! This was a huge change from lying flat on our bed or in his crib.
My only regret is that we didn't try the Amby bed sooner. Supposedly, if you use it from birth (or shortly thereafter), the baby gets better accustomed to the slight motion and feel of the Amby bed, sleeps more soundly, and is more likely to experience the benefits of it (which are described on the Amby bed website). We are hanging on to our Amby bed to give it a try with our second child (unless that child seems to like family bed, which DS does not--weird, I know).
We bought our Amby bed on Ebay for about half the regular price.
Hope this helps!
