The Fisher Price Jumperoo is one of the most popular baby activity centers available today, and with good reason. Any experienced parent will tell you that babies soon become energetic balls of fun that can be difficult to keep entertained, and if you can’t find an appropriate outlet for your little ones excess energy it can quickly lead to tantrums, tears and tiredness. Luckily for long-suffering parents Fisher Price have applied their years of experience to designing a solution to this problem, and the result of their efforts is a natural progression on the design of traditional baby exercisers – the Fisher Price Jumperoo range of “baby entertainers”.
Unlike traditional baby jumpers (which are typically suspended from a door frame) the Fisher Price Jumperoo is actually a freestanding, self-contained activity center. Not only does this prevent any injuries that might result from collisions with door frames, but it makes it possible for the Jumperoo to include a selection of interactive toys intended to make your child’s exercise time not only fun, but educational too! Fisher Price Jumperoos take over once your baby starts to grow out of their activity mat and also have the benefit that your baby can’t crawl away, so you can rest safe in the knowledge that even when baby is starting their mobile phase you’re limiting the potential for self-inflicted trouble without limiting their fun!
The Fisher Price Jumperoo is designed for babies who can hold their heads up unassisted, but who can’t yet walk or climb. This short but vital stage of your baby’s development takes place just as they’re reaching their most inquisitive, and instead of simply providing exercise a Jumperoo aims to stimulate your child’s senses and help foster motor skills simultaneously. It accomplishes this through a selection of educational interactive toys which your baby can access by swiveling the comfortable seat through a full 360 degrees, so there’s always something to look at and explore! The Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo provides a variety of textures, bright colors and fun music to engage your child’s visual and auditory senses – a brightly colored frog and parrot hang from soft, silky green leaves that encourage junior to jump higher and higher, while the more traditional “edutainment” toys are scattered around the Jumperoos seat frame.
There’s quite a collection of animals in all – in addition to the hanging frog and parrot there’s a monkey that swings, a lizard that spins around and an elephant that bobs up and down – even the seat itself is styled as a tree frog! Accompanying the animals there’s a colorful spinning drum that rewards baby’s interaction with lights, sounds and music. Because the Jumperoo is intended for use by babies of 6+ months there’s also a tethered teething ring, which is sure to be useful at some point (and which you can be sure has never touched the floor)!
When you’ve had chance to live with the Jumperoo for a few days you’ll appreciate that Fisher Price have considered parents as much in the design as the babies themselves. Aside from the various entertainment options the Rainforest Jumperoo has obviously been designed with practicality in mind – it’s possible to semi-collapse it for easy storage or transport, which proves ideal for taking it with you if you’re visiting family or friends. You needn’t worry about reassembly either, as setting it back up is a snap as well!
Since the Jumperoo is designed and manufactured by Fisher Price you can be sure that safety standards are everything you’d expect – the bouncer springs have covers over them so your child can’t stick their finger in them during play time, plus there’s a safety feature to secure the springs in place, effectively disabling the jumping/bouncing function. Finally, three position height adjustment will ensure a good fit for your baby, and will help you to enjoy the benefits of your Fisher Price Jumperoo for as long as possible.
