I bought this jumper for my grandson and the video says it all--he's one very happy little guy :)
Highly recommend this product.

For all of the complaints about not being able to adjust the height for older babies, there is a simple diagram and explanation in the user manual that comes with the jumper:

"If jumper is too close to floor:
1. Pull on small loop as shown untl the sewn end of the loop passes through the slot in the adjustment buckle.
2. Continue to pull out the small loop as shown until the strap is proper length."

These directions along with the picture in the manual make the adjustment very simple. Our baby was getting too tall to just make the normal adjustment and after referring to the manual, we made the change in less than 30 seconds.

This is why user manuals are included with products--read them when you purchase the product and don't throw them away, thinking you won't need them. I hate to think of all the jumpers that were tossed out because parents didn't think ahead.

We bought this jumper when my daughter was 4 months old and from the first moment in it, she has loved it! She entertains herself a little while each day and is building her strength very quickly.

The spring is both quiet and supple making for a smooth, pleasant bounce. The seat is deep and safe, well secured and very easy to insert. It's also a nice fun color with cool blue seat and straps that don't scream, "Hey I'm a plastic baby toy!" (Which is nice for a change.) Getting baby in and out is the only hard part (around straps and into a seat baby can kick and move isn't the easiest thing). But after doing it a couple of times I figured out what worked and baby began to anticipate going into the seat so that now she sticks her legs down straight for me and slides right in.

Since we installed the Jumper from a beam in the middle of our living room, we don't have any experience with the possibility of finger squishing against wood work. But based on watching my baby jump, she only really sways side to side when the seat is not positioned high enough, so perhaps that problem is resolvable. I also notice that her attention to the little toys that came with it (and any other toy we put on her tray) tends to keep her hands busy and out of danger.

One note about the toys - there isn't enough Velcro on them to keep them secure when she tugs on them, so be prepared to have to pick up and reattach the things. On the other hand, I have found that those great MAM pacifier clips work beautifully to attach other toys to the straps very securely.

I would recommend this product to anyone. The time it gives me for housework or homework or just to eat my lunch without little hands in my food, is invaluable.

I am a foster parent who has had 79 infants. ALL of my babies have loved this product. My first one was bought in 1989. With some I had to be careful not to leave them in too long,they loved it so much. I feel 10-15 minutes at a time is enough. My only complaint is that you sometimes have to prop them up to keep them from sliding down sideways.

If my daughter were giving this a rating it would definitely be 5 stars. She has so much fun in this jumper. The construction is good, the toys are cute, it was so easy to put together and hang up (and it feels really secure). The only problem is that the height strap is too long. She's only 27" tall (and still has a long way to go before reaching the 25 lb weight limit), but we already have it almost as short as it will go and her feet are flat on the floor.
Hopefully if/when we move we will have taller doorways!

My four month old loves this thing! The minute we placed him in this jumper, it was a hit. He can spend more time in this than in any of his other activity toys (gym-mat, exersaucer, etc...). However, I don't expect him to be able to use this more than a couple more weeks even though he's only been using it for a 2-3 weeks at most. Here is why...

My baby weighs about 18 pounds, and is 27 inches (68.5cm) tall. As another reviewer mentioned already, this jumper's straps do not allow you to adjust it much higher. I find that my baby already has most of his weight supported on his legs, and he definitely touches his whole foot to the ground. If I could find this same item designed for taller/heavier babies, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.

So, if you have a baby who is relatively short but is already able to hold his/her head, then this is a great item... Otherwise, look for something that will be useful for a longer period of time.

unfortunately i just received this jumper and it doesn't fit my my door, there is no mentioning of the maximim door thickness !! for all of you who are considering this jumper : its well built & looks good but doesn't fit just any door , in the manual they say that the door thickness should bemaximum 16.5 CM. i wish they shared this before i bought it :(

We were very excited about ordering this product and even had it sent overnight so we could try it out. Unfortunately, the clamp that secures the jumper to the door frame does not accommodate the moldings in older houses. Our house was built in 1918 so the mouldings are pretty substantial but not crazy large and the clamp will not fit over the moulding..it misses by 2 inches so, we'll be returning this product.

We bought this for our son last year for Christmas when he was 3 1/2 months old. He liked it but we had to stuff blankets in to help him sit up. We bought this over an exersaucer because we did not have room to store anything large. He has really liked it. He is now 15 months old and walking but still likes to jump in it. I put him there when I am cleaning and he has a great time.

I love this jumper. I first used it at "Grandma's" house and I was amazed at how long it entertained my then 4month old for. So when I got home a week later, I ordered a different one from toys r us. It had all of the gizmos and gadgets and I just knew she would love it. But she couldn't even jump in it because of the placement of the leg holes in the seat. So I returned it and bought the Graco jumper like Grandma. The bumper around the seat is a must have. Along with the tray where we put toys and soon snacks. She was soo happy to jump again, she wouldn't let my take her out for 45 minutes!
