Fisher-Price Colourful Carnival Spacesaver Jumperoo

Product Information

Baby activity centers help satisfy both of these desires for babies around 4 to 9 months old, since these toys prop them up in a sitting or standing position and have lots of fun things for babies to look at and manipulate. Some even convert to tables or other types of toys for your baby's to enjoy out of the activity center stage. These convertible activity centers generally have a longer usable lifespan, since cruising babies around 9 to 11 months old begin to tire of their activity center and want to explore the world around them. The best doorway jumper overall is the Graco Doorway Bumper Jumper. This one includes bumpers to help keep your baby from getting hurt if they bump into the door frame, and the tray can hold additional toys if your baby needs a little extra entertainment along with the 2 detachable toys it already includes. Like other door jumpers, this one doesn’t take up a lot of space, is easy to assemble and travels well. The price really isn’t too bad either, especially compared to stand-alone jumpers. This sturdy yet lightweight jumper doesn’t take up too much space, so it works well indoors too. Additionally, the height is adjustable (with 3 different options) and it has a nice little foot mat as well so your baby will be comfortable whether they are on carpet, grass or a patio. With its fun ocean theme, this baby jumper is all about the toys. If your baby needs a lot of entertainment so you can get some work done, the Baby Einstein Neptune’s Ocean Discovery Jumper will keep them occupied with buttons, music and plenty of other toys to reach for and move around. Some of the toys will even introduce your baby to numbers and colors in English, Spanish and French, and the interactive turtle toy is detachable so they can keep playing when they are done jumping. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and baby product industry instituted a standard in 1997 that stipulates that walkers have to be wider than standard doorways and must have a feature that stops the walker at the edge of a step. But there are still models on the market with wheels, so, as the AAP puts it, "children can still move fast and reach higher."

This design is similar to a doorway jumper, but it comes with its own frame, so the whole thing sits lower to the ground. This means it’s more versatile because you can use it outside or in spaces that don’t have a door frame. Activity centers are great for your little one's developing curiosity. They offer a safe and secure environment to explore textures, lights, colors, sounds, and movement. They also provide a good opportunity for practicing fine motor skills like grasping, grabbing, and shaking. In addition to following your manufacturer’s age and size guidelines, there are some other things to be aware of when purchasing and using a baby jumper. The toys on this baby jumper are simple and don’t include music or sounds, which can be a positive or negative depending on your personal preference. And while the seat does bounce, it’s not quite as springy as some. If you want chairs for the toddler table, those are sold separately, but this convertible baby jumper should last you through the baby and toddler years. Jumpers provide great fun for babies and a break for their parents. They allow your child to play independently, see the world from a new perspective, and often include some new toys.There's a sweet spot for an activity center from about 4 to 9 months. Once your baby is between 4 and 6 months old and has enough muscle control to hold up his head and control his torso, so he can safely sit in an activity center. And once he's about 9 months old, he may be too big and active for an activity center, and more interested in pulling up and cruising (trying to walk while holding onto an object). So you can see that a plaything that props babies up yet keeps them stationary would have a milestone-related expiration date. Arriving fully assembled and needing only to be unfolded, this activity jumper is ready to go at a moment’s notice. And it collapses just as easily — fitting into an included travel bag with a shoulder strap. Also, if your baby falls asleep in the activity center, move them to a flat, firm surface as soon as possible, following the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) safe sleep recommendations. Opens a new window What to look for when buying an activity center This baby jumper is not as compact as a doorway jumper but is much more versatile because it doesn’t require a doorway. Babies develop at their own pace. Typically, babies learn to stand sometime between 8 and 12 months old. Note that learning this skill a bit before or after this range is also considered normal. If you have any concerns about your baby's development, consult your pediatrician.

This is the one I got. I liked that the feet are on the floor. He bounces a fair amount in it. The toys are very basic and edible (safe for him to mouth explore). He does it a lot. He absolutely loves it. The ‘harness’ is very forgiving and really moves with him rather than keeping his hips super fixed. We still don't use it more than 15 minutes at a time, maybe 2 to 3 times a day, but it also folds up like a camp chair and is very washable for when he's ready for sensory play.” The Jumperoo came in second in the Best of BabyCenter Awards poll, with 20 percent of voters (135) choosing it as their favorite. Again and again they mentioned how much their babies love bouncing in it: "My kids love to jump and this kept them entertained" was a typical comment. Other parents appreciated the "nice colors" and "so many things to play with" to encourage babies' fine motor skills.If you’re shopping for the best baby jumper, you’ve probably realized the market is pretty flooded. It’s a given that your child will have a diaper explosion while in their jumper at least once. There’s something about the positioning and the leg activity that stimulates a bowel movement, so choose a jumper with a seat you can wash easily — either by throwing the whole seat in the washer or with a plastic exterior you can wipe down and sanitize as necessary. An activity center and jumper all in one, this toy provides a lot of fun for your little one, plus an opportunity to move around. Your child might even jump and bounce so much they tire themselves right into sound naps and all-night sleep. The Jumperoo has more-appealing-than-usual toys, and more of them, too: plushy friends that dangle tantalizingly at eye-level, whirling beads, and a spinning, smiling sun. Its footprint is large when the Jumperoo is unfolded, but it's so entertaining for your baby that it's worth the floor space. Three height adjustments help the Jumperoo keep pace with your baby's growth. If your child has special needs, you may be looking for a jumper that outlasts the baby years. Often kids with special needs will continue to use equipment like carseats, strollers or even jumpers for long past the usual timeframe, making it harder to find the appropriate sized products. This activity center is solid and sturdy, as well as heavy and on the large side. It doesn't collapse for storage.

Usually, baby jumpers have more accessories than baby bouncers do. You’ll find that baby jumpers often come with a tray, sensory toys, and sometimes even lights and sound.

"Baby Walkers." https://www.cpsc.gov/Regulations-Laws--Standards/Voluntary-Standards/Topics/Baby-Walkers Opens a new window [Accessed October 2022] If your baby needs a ton of toys to stay entertained, this one might not be the best option for you. It includes a couple of small toys, but is overall pretty simple. Like other door jumpers, it doesn’t swivel around either, so the seat will just face one direction. But overall, if your baby will mostly be jumping and doesn’t need a ton of extra features, this is a really nice quality option.Some other features you might appreciate are the 360-degree swivel seat, easy assembly and adjustable height options. This one has 4 different options for the height, so it has the potential to grow with your baby a little more than some other options. An activity center can be a great spot to park your baby temporarily while you take a break or get something accomplished, and the best baby activity centers are freestanding entertainment stations that hold babies upright while they push off with their feet to spin around and play with a variety of toys. Your baby can independently (but safely) practice bouncing, standing, and manipulating objects like buttons and noisemakers. They also provide an opportunity for your child to get exercise beyond the recommended tummy time. Do I need a baby activity center?

This jumper has no exposed springs, so your little one’s fingers will be safe. The seat is removable and washable, and you can wipe down the rest of the BPA-free bouncer. Wherever you are, your little one will delight in the bouncing seat and toys that spin, rattle, and move every which way. There’s also an included mirror and book for added fun. The seat, which adjusts to three heights, is machine-washable, too — ideal for inevitable mishaps, like diaper blowouts. Since activity centers do the same job — hold your baby upright and give them something to play with — choosing the best one is really your baby's job: The best activity center is something they'll play happily in. But since your baby can’t exactly tell you which one they want, look for a baby activity center that looks fun to you. Toys should be interesting, unique, and fun. Of course, it’s important to consider the footprint of an activity center as well, since it'll take up a fair amount of floor space in your house for months. Baby walkers, which are sometimes called "mobile activity centers," are not recommended by the AAP, who says that these devices send thousands of children to the hospital each year. These devices have wheels so babies can sit in a fabric or plastic chair while they roll around, and they have no benefits, says the AAP: Though parents often think they will help children learn to walk, they can actually delay when your child starts to walk. Age Range: 4 months and up | Dimensions: 33.5 x 28.75 x 34.65 inches | Weight Recommendation: ‎33 poundsSome parents don’t like the look of most baby jumpers because they tend to have a lot of plastic and bright colors, which may not exactly blend in with their home’s decor. If that’s you, the Evenflo Woodland Wonder may win you over thanks to its aesthetically pleasing design. The natural wood legs and subdued colors make this a really stylish, less garish option. While the design is pretty simple, this baby jumper still includes a good variety of toys, 360-degree swivel seat, and adjustable height options. This jumper can take the place of three pieces of gear in your space-limited home, and it offers entertainment through a variety of stages of play. Not only is it an activity jumper with loads of toys attached, but without the jumping feature, it also can be used as either a playmat or an activity table. Set up is easy. We've washed the seat four times – it comes on and off easily. Adjusting the height is a cinch as well." A baby jumper is an activity seat affixed to an elastic harness that allows your baby to use their legs to propel themselves up and down. This jumper has a couple of other unique features, like clip-on toys that can be moved around so your baby doesn’t get bored and a jump counter that cheers your little one on as they reach different jumping milestones. And if you are concerned about your baby spending too much time in a seat, this jumper actually gives you reminders to take your baby out after 10 and 20 minutes of play.
