Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R12JN8OLUH6COR Our son had just turned 4 months old when we taped him in his beloved jumper. He loves to jump around in circles and burn off some energy. Word of advice, make sure you have at least a 1 inch clearing above your door frame to be able to install. We did not and had to build a ledge to mount ours on between rooms.

One of the best things that we ever got for our son. Plays cute music that is started by your baby jumping on the music pad. comes with some toys that can be taken off the sides.
It is adjustable in length. My son loves to get in this thing and bounce as high as he can, and spin.

As as grandparent, I highly recommend having this jumper in your home for when your grandchild comes to visit you. No winding anything up to keep it going and no turning it off when baby is done using it. The tray holds little toys close to baby’s reach. The musical mat is an extra plus for this product. It’s easy to put up and take down from the doorway, and easy to store until the next time they come to visit. I highly recommend this jumper for all parents and grandparents to have in the home for the little one.

We’ve got a big girl. At 6 months she’s 22lbs and 28″. So I was a little concerned about the ability to raise this jumper high enough for her (and the fact that she will outgrow it at a 25lb. weight limit, but it seems all jumpers have that limit.) That’s the first reason this jumper got 4 stars. The double-doorway we want to use it in — our office, we both work from home — is the shortest doorway in the house, and there’s a limit on how tight you can make the jumper strap to raise it up. In that doorway, it’s just too close to the ground for our tall girl. I wish there were a way to make the straps even shorter.
However, in most of the other doorways in the house, it works well. Keep in mind if it’s not a very wide doorway, the kid has to bounce directly up and down to really make this thing work without hitting the sides. That said, the tray on the front keeps them from bumping their little noggin into the door jamb pretty well.
It seems very sturdy, and there’s a safety mechanism in it so that heaven forbid the spring should break, it will catch and not drop your progeny on the ground. My kid also likes to chew on the attached toys while she bounces, which gives her a bit of a demented look, but that just makes it amusing for all of us!
I like the fact that the musical mat can be used as just a mat without the bouncer so when she does reach that 25lb limit, this toy will still have some functionality. However, the second reason this jumper only got 4 stars is that the mat is made of a crinkly material, so while she’s bouncing, it’s going “crunch crunch crunch.” Because it’s crinkly, it also tends to get small creases in it from the molding strip on the floor in between rooms. And lastly it can “compose” only three songs, so the music gets a little old (but I find that to be a problem with any musical toy.)
Overall my daughter really enjoys it, and seems to have a lot of fun in it, and that’s the important part. If it weren’t for the few minor design flaws, this product would be 5 stars.

The item was very easy to set up. The clamp shuts over the doorway fine. The teethers and rattles get some attention from the baby. The musical footpad is a nice addition.
My wife and I saw 3 issues after we bought this, put it together and had our baby in it.
1). Our baby came close to hitting their head on the side of the doorway. Our doorway isn’t narrow but it isn’t very wide either.
2). Our baby had their right hand gripped over the edge of the plastic tray and got it mashed a bit, between the plastic and the side of the doorway.
3). The footpad responds well to the baby’s stepping and jumping, but it did not stay in place. We have hard wood floors and the footpad slid off every couple of minutes. However, when we placed the footpad on our carpet, it didn’t slip as much.
4). Although the clamp worked on the doorway, I still kind of wished it had some sort of lock on it, that would allow it to clamp TIGHTLY over the doorway.
Over all it might be ok for smaller babies, with constant supervision. Larger babies that still fall under the 25lb limit might experience the problems our baby had with it.
NOTE: There have been some websites and books (Baby Bargains) that have labeled any Baby Jumper a danger to babies. Unfortunately, I think my wife and I will return this item.
