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.

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.

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!

I had to buy this jumper for several reasons: (1) - I rent my apatment and could not have a doorway jumper (which would be cheaper) because my landlord would not approve it; (2) - my son likes jumping and tries to jump on my laps when I hold him since he was 2.5 months old (he is 4 months old now); but he's a chubby baby, and my arms get very tired when I hold him jumping. (3) - I read many positive reviews of satisfied parents.

Both my son and I like this jumper. Like all Fisher Price items, it was very easy to assemble. Other reviewers had mentioned that it needs lots of space, but it takes only 30X36 inches when assembled. Though the manufactuter recommends to use it for babies who can hold their heads up, most pediatricians do not recommend it until the baby can hold his back - not earlier than 3.5-4 months; so I waited until Ivan got 4 months old. First time he was very surprised and amazed. "I can stand myself!" - his little face said. Very quickly he discovered how to use it and started jumping carefully first, and with more joy then. First few days I let him stay there for only 3 minutes each time, then 5-7 minutes, several times a day. I think he's still too young and his spine is not strong enough for longer loads yet, so I take him out immediately when he seems little tired. Later we will use it more.

The only thing I do not like is the revolving toy on the right hand of the toybar. When I put my little man in the jumper first time, he was looking for any handle on the front bar to hold himself, and tried to grab that revolving toy. I noticed that a tiny finger can easily get stuck under this toy, and if it revolves the finger may get hurt or even broken (I checked it out with my own finger). I recommend to remove this toy before you start using your jumper. Maybe I sound like an obsessed crazy Mom, but I assume it's never too much precaution when it comes about your baby's health and safety.

My son likes to be upright but hes still too short for his excersaucer. He also likes to jump when we hold him so I thought the Jumparoo would be a good solution. I am so glad we got it for him. He loves it! It combines two things he likes to do...be upright and jump. Because he is short (24 inches tall) I did have reservations on if it would be like his excersaucer....nope. He fits it perfectly and his feet touch the ground.

Thanks again to Fisher Price for putting out ANOTHER quality item!!

When I was pregnant I read tens of must-have and do-not-buy lists of baby stuff. Among all the things I thought we needed I never even imagined we would need this. Our son absolutely LOVES this thing. Since we put him in there when he was about 4 months he's been jumping ever since (he is now almost 9 months). No matter how cranky he may be at any point in the day, once you put him in the Jumperoo he instantly lights up and starts jumping and immitating the elephant. And anyone who sees him for the first time jumping in the thing rolls on the floor laughing.

As for the quality and features... it is pretty sturdy, has 3 height options, which came quite handy. The 3 "play" areas are great - our son spins himself to look at all of them once he gets bored with one. The spinning option is also great for socializing - he turns to watch doggy run from one side of the room to the other. He also LOVES the attached fly - it's his nibbling buddy when he's tired of the lights.

OK, so maybe it's not a must buy if you compare it to diapers or baby food, but in our house it absolutely is. We could not imagine our lives without it - it makes our baby happy and entertained and cracks up the parents every time.

My son got this when he was 4 months old. He is now 8 months and still loves it. Perfect when baby is no longer interested in swings and bouncy seats. My son can jump for about 45 minutes at a time! It is a great investment and has provided me with time to get stuff done around the house!
Cons:
Does not fold up.
Large.
Little music jingle gets annoying (but does not need to be on).

We absolutely LOVE this product. Our son has been jumping in our arms for a while, so we thought we'd give this a try. He hated swings when he was a newborn, not too interested in the walker a friend passed down to us, but this jumper is AWESOME!!!! He plays with the little toys, loves the music and the lights (which, by the way, have a low and high volume setting, and of course off). This gives everyone a chance to eat dinner without trading turns holding our baby.
Suggestion, adjust the height straps to make sure your baby is NOT on his/her flat feet when placed in the jumper. The impact isn't good. The instruction manual doesn't go much into this, it only gives a picture of a baby standing on their toes and a baby on flat feet with a line through it. We haven't had a problem with this. Even though baby's feet don't completely touch the ground, they can definitely jump and cause the lights and music to go. This will provide the baby, and your family, plenty of entertainment.

We waited until our daughter was [...] to get her this, and it's fantastic! She's now [...] and it's in storage, but she was using it until she was about [...] I like that the height is adjustable, the springs are covered, and the seat comes out easily to wash it. (It was a poop-eroo for us too.)

A few things that I learned using this though is:
The blue spinning toy doesn't come out and yucky stuff can collect underneath it. It is incredibly hard to clean.
The one that I got was a pain in the tush to get the batteries in, so once the batteries died, we set the kangaroo part aside.
My daughter's feet got rubbed raw when we first got this because she loved jumping in it. I recommend using a pair of Robeez, or at very least a pair of socks, to protect their feet.

My sister bought this for my son as a christmas gift. I honestly cannot thank her enough!!! I am a military wife and my husband is deployed and without this I don't know if I would ever be able to get anything done! I love this product!!! Whenever my son is fussy and won't let me do anything with him I can sit him in this and hes fine! Even when I can't get him down for a nap because he fights it I can stick him in this and he will bounce himself to sleep!! The only thing I hate about this is that hes getting ready to outgrow it( 8 months and 23 pounds)! I would give anything if he could use this until he was like a year and a half. It's not something I would buy before the baby came but at about 5 months this is a baby must have!!! Honestly without this I would probably have lost my mind by now. It allows me to get showers clean the house everything! This is my #1 Baby MUST HAVE!!!!
