A great jumper better than any others I've tried
This is a great jumper that my daughter absolutely loves. She began using it when she was about 4 months old (I put a folded up blanket in the back for extra support). She is now 6 months old and loves it even more now. I have two daughters. For my first daughter (who is now two), I tried two jumpers, the Fisher Price Precious Planet floor jumper, and the cheap Evenflo Johnny Jumpup and this one is far better than either of those two. The Evenflo jumper was uncomfortable around her legs, was too high waisted and has hard bars that she could have hit her head on - plus the spring is just too tight that it doesn't allow for good jumping at all - it ended up in the closet because it was useless and dangerous. The Fisher Price Precious Planet floor jumper is decent and has lots of bells and whistles, but also doesn't really allow the baby to jump very much (more like a swaying back and forth) and my first daughter (and now my second) got sick of it really fast. In my experience, the more bells and whistles something has, the less the child actually enjoys it. So when I was pregnant with my second child, I began researching a better jumper. This one came to the top of the list and has remained at the top of the list for the following reasons:
1. It allows your little one to actually jump! The spring is the perfect tightness for controlled jumping.
2. The attached toys and toy tray are a wonderful addition. The toys are great for teething babies, and have no obnoxious sounds. The toy tray around the jumper is nicely padded and gives extra protection for your little one in case they hit the doorway. It also allows you to put your child's favorite toy in front of them which they can play with while jumping - at present, my daughter has her soft teething ring there and grabs it whenever she wants to.
3. The clamps up top are well designed and easy to put on any doorway.
4. It adjusts well to any height (those reviews that state that it's not long enough obviously didn't read the instructions that came with it on how to adjust the height - after the obvious adjustment, you can then pull the short loop through and adjust it more, it's very easy to do).
5. It's easy to put my daughter in and take her out of it.
6. The colors are nice and will go well with most decor
7. The price! It's slightly more than the Evenflo jumper, but why waste your money on that useless jumper when you can have this one. It's also MUCH cheaper than the floor models with all bells and whistles but works much better
6. My daughter LOVES it! My only regret is that I didn't have it with my first daughter.
I highly recommend this jumper over any others.
