• Toys and Music

The Rainforest Jumperoo doesn’t lack in the toy and music department. There are Toys all around your child in five locations. The lights and sounds are triggered by either hand contact or bouncing. Some of the zoo animal sounds have adjustable volume, thank you Fisher-Price!

The tray of toys offers a teething toy, as well as a built-in tray for snacks. You’ll also notice dangling toys off of the leaves on the elastic straps.

• Portability and Storage

Parents like how easy and quick it is to take down the Jumperoo. The frame pivots into a nested position for portability and storage, so you can tuck it away when it’s not in use. It folds up so that you can carry it from room to room. You don’t have to worry about it getting stuck in the doorway. Then, it just pops back into place!

• Weight Limit

The weight limit for this particular baby jumper is 25 pounds.

• Easy-to-Clean Seat

It doesn’t get easier than this to clean a seat! The fabric is removable and machine washable. So, if little junior has a diaper explosion, take off the seat and toss it in the washing machine without a second thought.

• Adjustability

The elastic straps have three different adjustable positions, so you can raise and lower the seat depending on the height of your baby.

We wouldn’t expect anything less than awesome from Fisher-Price. The Jumperoo is the top-selling pick by parents, and we can see why. A few negatives are noted by parents, that it is hard to rotate the seat and some of the dangling toys are too high for a baby. Otherwise, babies solidly love this jumper!

• Toys & Music

Skip Hop uses simple, yet colorful and classic, toys in primary colors. They spin, flip, and pop for multisensory feedback. It’s enough for your child to really enjoy without over stimulating your child. All of the toys use a clip on and off mechanism. You can remove them for washing or clip them in different positions.

• Adjustability

One thing that is cool about the Skip Hop is that the foot platform can be adjusted up and down to meet your child’s height. It ensures your child’s feet touch the platform at all times. The platform also has a foot-operated keyboard that will light up and play tunes if your baby steps on it. There is a little window above it so your child can look down at the keyboard and watch it light up!

When your baby is too old for the jumper, you can remove the foot platform and use it as a table for toddlers. You’ll get more use out of it than usual.

• Toys & Music

The toys are simple, yet enjoyable for your baby. Oribel used a pop on and off design for the toys, so you can change their positions or swap them in and out whenever you want. None of the toys require batteries, so they don’t make lights or noise. Some parents prefer that, and others don’t, so it’ll be a personal preference.

• Portability & Storage

Without a doubt, portability and storage are where the Oribel shines. You can fold its legs up for easy storage or for traveling. The patented legs fold inward easily, a unique feature. It’ll fit under your bed, in your closet, or the trunk of your car without any issues. You can remove all of the toys for storage as well.

• Weight Limit

Oribel recommends that babies don’t use this jumper until they can hold their head up properly, around five months old. It has a weight limit of 22 pounds, which is lower than other options.

• Easy-to-Clean Seat

You can take off the seat cover and wash it in the machine. It’s definitely a necessary feature in a portable jumper. If you can take it camping, you need to be able to wash it once you get home!

• Adjustability

Parents can adjust the leg height from 5” up and down, so you can get as low as 13” from tabletop to floor and as high as 18” from top to floor. The table can be used as a stand and play table as well, or you can use separate chairs for a sit-and-play table.

Oribel is basic in the toy department and needs more height adjustments. Despite the few flaws, you will love how easily it folds up for storage and how easy it is to keep clean.

• Adjustability

Evenflo offers several height adjustments, so even your little baby can reach the base. Overall, it is one of the more adjustable tables because it adjusts from newborn to toddlerhood! You will get a lot of use out of this one purchase.

The ExerSaucer isn’t as bouncy as other jumpers, mostly because of the design. The curved bottom allows babies to rock more than bounce. The seat lacks padding, but overall, it will entertain your child and keep him entertained with a multitude of toys.

• Toys & Music

Toys surround your child in this jumper, and it has a fun little piano that babies love. There is an extra loop where you can attach extra toys for your baby, like his favorite stuffed animal or rattle. The music isn’t as loud as other jumpers, which parents prefer. A little small tray area is close by as well for snacks.

The seat pad is machine washable. All you have to do is remove it from the frame and put it in the washing machine. The toys and tray are only wiped clean.

• Adjustability

You can adjust the height of the elastic straps, which will light up or lower the seat for your baby. Most parents set it on the lowest settings first and then raise it up as baby gets bigger.

Baby Einstein is a well-known name in the baby world. He will love all of the music, sounds, and toys. The music is quite loud, and some parents prefer to not have toys with music. The design is bulky and large, but it can lay down for storage if necessary.

A baby jumper offers several benefits for babies, which is why most parents add them to their must-have list. A few of those benefits include:

• Strengthens the muscles of their legs, which later help them to stand and walk.
• Keeps baby busy for a few minutes, so parents can get chores finished for the day.
• Tires baby out as he plays for a few minutes!
• The activity improves the strength of the spine and neck, as well as the hip.
• Helps to improve pre-walking skills, but remember it’s NOT a walking product. It just improves motor skills of your baby.

Most manufacturers state a recommended age for their jumper, but what is most important is ensuring your baby is physically able to be in it. Your baby needs to be able to support his head without anyone’s help. If your child can hold his head without assistance, then chances are your baby can use one!

Make sure that you look at the manufacturer’s recommendations. Some do specify a weight that your child should be before using the jumper. You do want to pick a jumper that fits your child, one that isn’t too big or too small.

While a baby jumper does strengthen your child’s muscles, it also applies a lot of pressure to different muscle groups. That’s why it’s recommended to use it in moderation. The general recommended length of time a baby can be in a jumper is twenty minutes. Even if your baby is having the best time, you shouldn’t leave them in there for long periods!

There are a few different types of jumpers on the market for babies. You should pick one that meets your baby’s needs and preferences, as well as one that works for your living situation.

• Stationary Jumper

A stationary jumper is the most basic option available. It has a seat that is attached to the stand with elastic straps. The straps allow the baby to jump up and down, but that’s all your baby can do. Stationary jumpers don’t contain extra toys for playing.

• Stationary Activity Jumper

Stationary activity jumpers have the same set up as before with a seat that’s connected to a standby elastic straps. The difference is that there is a tray of toys connected to the seat of the jumper. All of the toys are age-appropriate, so your baby has fun with toys while jumping up and down.

Some stationary activity jumpers don’t have elastic straps. Instead, they use a frame, a seat, and a curved floor. All models are different, but the idea is still the same!

• Doorway Jumpers

As you might guess by the name, doorway jumpers connect to your door frame. They have a large clamp that hooks it to the wall and a seat that hangs down by long, elastic straps. Doorway jumpers aren’t as popular because you need the right area to place one, but they are portable and provide ample fun for babies!
