Jolly Jumper *Classic* (Black) - Trusted by Parents, Loved by Babies for Over 75 Years. The Original Baby Exerciser and Your Alternative to Activity Centers and Baby Bouncers.

The media could not be loaded. This is by far the best money we’ve spent on our son. He LOVES his Jolly Jumper! It’s just as entertaining for us to watch him jump as it is for him to bounce!One of the reasons I went with the Jolly Jumper as opposed to other products is because this is a stand-alone design. It does not require you to hang it from a door frame. Our house doesn’t have ledges over the door frames, so this was perfect to fit anywhere in our home. Plus I can move it wherever I want so I’m always watching him.I was hesitant to purchase this due to the cost, but it was worth every penny. It is very easy to assemble and lightweight. It is very sturdy and the materials are high quality. I’m positive this will last for our son and future children.One con is that the frame is rather large - you’ll need an open area to keep this. This doesn’t bother me, but it is something to consider when purchasing.Our son plays in this every day and loves every minute. It’s good to strengthen his legs, build confidence, and keep him entertained in a safe space while I get some chores done around the house ;)Overall, I would highly recommend this product to any family with young kids!

A friend of ours got this for their little boy (same age as our baby) and seeing how happy he was sealed the deal on whether or not we wanted to fork over the money for it for our baby since it's much more expensive than the door frame jumpers (and larger space wise). My husband and I agree it's the best baby purchase we've made so far.Our daughter LOVES this thing so much. The first time we put her in it she lit up like a Christmas tree when she figured out she could jump up and down on her own, it was hysterical. She giggles and squeals and turns around and around, stopping only to smile at us or reach out to try and pet the dog as he goes by. Now she's figured out she can pivot on one foot to do a spin to face whatever direction she wants. A side benefit of her having a blast (and us having one watching her) is that we can sit down in front of her and eat in peace while she jumps to her heart's content. Obviously I highly recommend getting this but for those of you who like bullet points/pros/cons here they are:Pros:- Easy to set up, no tools needed. Took me about 10 minutes to put together.- Easy to fold back up and put away flat BUT you need to hang on to the washers so have a ziplock baggie and some tape handy. Not sure why they don't have a better way to store these onto the jumper so you don't lose them and can easily keep them close by.- Very sturdy, no wondering if a door frame will hold it safely or if your baby is going to run/jump into a door- Tons of fun for baby and parents/caregivers- Quality materials; harness is washable (make sure you attach the velcro strips together before washing)- Lightweight, easy to move to another area/roomCons:- You need space for this thing. We have a pretty small living room and this thing takes up half the walkable space (but we don't care since we love it.)- As another reviewer said, it's a pain to get your kid in and out of it, which sounds like a deal breaker but it's not. The instructions tell you to lay your baby down and put them in the harness and then, while holding your baby in the harness, hook the harness into the appropriate chain link. Um yeah...that's really hard to do the first time when you are not sure which chain link to hook it into because it all depends on your baby's height so it's trial and error and you're standing there holding your baby in the harness trying to match up the hook to the correct link and it's all just a giant pain. So...I recommend once you figure out which link to put it into, leave it there and just take your baby out of/put them in the harness while it's attached to the spring already. This is not super easy to do and you have to be careful but it's significantly easier than the other method of trying to rehook a harnessed baby (who, by the way, will start to get so excited they will start jumping before you even get them fully secured into the harness). It's definitely easier to do with two people, so one of you can hold the harness open and the other can easily put the baby in it but you can do it by yourself if you're patient and it gets easier every time. Again, this is not a deal breaker (for me) when it's such a great product.And of course, while this should go without saying, this is not a babysitter...you must watch your baby closely at all times while in this jumper and despite the product saying it's for babies 3 months and older your baby MUST have very good head control before using this, so it's more likely for use around 4 to 5 months, not 3. Also if your baby is already close to 30 lbs this product is probably not for you. We had friends come over with their 10 month old who is pretty chunky and we had to put the harness at the highest setting and he sunk so low he couldn't really jump so he just stood there and stared at us. So have it ready around 4 months so your baby can get full use of it. Oh and have your video camera ready!

I bought 2 of these for my 6 month old twin grandsons. They LOVE them and the boys are so cute when they are jumping and laughing. They were easy to assemble but I will say that they take up a lot of space. Even just one of these is pretty large by itself let alone 2 but my daughter makes it work because the boys are so happy when they're using them. I would have liked to get the version that you can hang in the doorway but my daughter's living room doesn't have a frame to hang them from. Another downside is that its not really easy to get the babies in or out of the harness. It's almost a 2 person job. Also, the description says that it's easy to fold for storage but it really isn't. You have to take out a screw to collapse the frame. Overall, I highly recommend because the pros outweigh the cons.
