The Poop-e-roo, April 8, 2006
This review is from: Fisher-Price Deluxe Jumperoo (Baby Product)
We registered for this because we did not have door jams to hang the normal bouncers from. We have been so happy with this gift. We have 10 month triplet boys and they really enjoy this bouncer.
My babysitter calls it the poop-e-roo. We have noticed that when we put a child in it, 20 minutes later he poops. You really want to watch this because when they get a jumping, this can create quite a mess. I would recommend putting a play mat underneath it.
You can put this anywhere. You do not need a door jam. There is no bottom to it though, so you may want to place on carpet. We even placed a water mat under it till they got the hang of bouncing and do not forget a clean up mat.
The spring straps are covered well and have had no issues with fingers or hands getting stuck.
The seat cover does come off for cleaning but seems to shrink a little each time.
The adjustable height is great. Most seats only go to 30" or so and then the child outgrows it. Our children are 30" and still have one more level to go.
The weight for the bouncer is 25 lbs, so if you have a chubby child he may not be able to use it to its potential. Our smallest child gets great heights.
Cleaning can sometimes be more difficult. The wheel on the left side loves to collect debris under it. It does not come off so you have to use the wheel to drag a cloth under it and clean it. The musical Kangaroo in the front comes off for cleaning and changing the batteries. It can get quite dirty under there. It traps liquid and debris under it. If you do not have a schedule to clean it you may forget that debris gets under it and can get pretty bad.
There are not many toys on this jumper and it is not an exesaucer but more of an additional amusement. On the left there is a blue wheel, my children hardly play with. On the right is a small bar with movable block type toys. The front has the Kangaroo, a bar with beads, lights and a large push button. You can set the music to play with the children move the jumper or you can turn it on or off.
There is no tray to put any toys, so I attach Link a doo toys to the bars.
I would recommend this and an exersaucer and rotate your children or child in the toys. This bouncer is great for bouncing but not too interactive with toys.

Great product!!, April 12, 2006
This review is from: Fisher-Price Deluxe Jumperoo (Baby Product)
My son doesn't use this anymore because he has outgrown it, but I will tell you that it was one of the best things I have bought for him. I was really nervous about the price, but it was well worth it. He would bounce in it for so long that he would start to nod off. His head would fall forward and he would jerk and start bouncing again. If I tried to take him out to sleep in his bed he would get upset, so I would just wait until he officially fell asleep before I would pull him out of it. I didn't buy it to put him to sleep, but it was sure a blessing when he wouldn't take his naps. He would play with the toy things, but his main thing was the bouncing.

Jumperoo beats a Saucer, Hands Down, June 1, 2006
This review is from: Fisher-Price Deluxe Jumperoo (Baby Product)
We were lucky enough to have both a saucer and the jumperoo for our second child. The jumperoo is basically a doorway jumper on its own stand. There are a few toys attached to it as well, which makes it a bit like a saucer. The baby could choose to just stand/hang there and play with the toys, or jump.
Now that dear baby is 9.5mo, he is a bouncin' fool. At about 7 months, he would "step" rhythmically left and right, before he learned to truly jump. He much prefers this to the saucer-- and we've given the saucer away already, but he is still happy in the Jumperoo.
I would give this product 5 stars, except for a few things-- it IS hard to clean, as previous reviewers have noted. Hard, but not impossible. Also, it is ugly and takes up quite a bit of floor space. But the same could be said for any saucer or other "confinement" toy.
One nice thing about this toy, if you hate loud toys like we do, is that the off switch is located out of baby's reach. If you leave it "off" the toy is noiseless. Noiseless-- except for the jumping!
