Baby sittin

I love my nephew & since he has been in our life, we have found a lot of great products for him to use & this is one of them... He loves his jumparoo...

Here is what Amazon has to say about it..
From the ManufacturerA place full of wonderful sights & sounds...the Rainforest Jumperoo brings it all down to size for little explorers! Still tons of safe jumping fun (which will activate Rainforest music & lights!), but now there are toys all around-and overhead--with a spinning seat that helps baby explore them all. A bobbing elephant, swinging monkey, spinning lizard and more that baby will just "go wild" for! Baby spins drum to activate lights & music (Mom can activate for 5 minutes of continuous play) Soft spring covers keep little fingers safe and 3-position height adjustment ensures a custom fit for your child. Requires 3 AA batteries for toy tray (not included) Product DescriptionEverything your baby needs can be found in this Rainforest Jumperoo. Its newly designed frame allows you to opens it up from the top, and lets the seat rotate 360 degrees so baby can play and interact from any side. A fun seat and toys at five locations on the platform engage baby all the way around, and an electronic toy at the front has motion, music and lights that can be activated by baby spinning a drum.
Seat also features a bobbling elephant, a monkey swinging from a vine, a parrot hanging from a bead bar, a clear spinning bead ball, a tiger that plays hide and seek, a spinning lizard that makes rattling sounds, a tethered chew toy and a stack of chips with cute graphics for baby to explore.
Two soft leaves extend from the frame to create an overhead 'canopy' with soft toys that dangle down for fun bat-at play. Jumperoo has has three height adjustments for extended use. Frame pivots to a nested position so it can be tucked away when not in use. Includes a motion sensor that encourages kids by rewarding them with lights and sounds when they jump. Weight Capacity is 25 pounds. Requires 3 "AA" batteries, not included. Measures 43.125"H x 32"W x 37"D.


My sister found this jumper at a yard sale for a great price. We were between this Jumperoo and another one that has 4 support poles as the base. The square Jumperoo didn't have nearly as many toys for him to discover and it seemed to take up much more space. We decided on this Jumperoo because it took up less room and had more toys for only slightly more money. The investment was worth it for just the first 10 minutes of fun! When we first put him in, he wasn't quite sure what to make of it and just looked around at the toys grabbing for them. After he realized (in the first 2 minutes) that he could jump, he did with great joy. His face was all smiles and watching him kick his feet out while jumping had us all rolling on the floor hysterically. The toys he likes best are the ones that spin and he reaches for the parrot and frog that hang. The tiger that comes up when you push on the button seems pretty useless, as does the color wheel. The whole thing took us about 10 minutes to put together and another few minutes to wash the toys. Remember not the submerge the electronic one and to put 3 AA batteries in it. The box does not include the batteries and you'll need a screwdriver to remove the battery cover. Also, the large spinning ball has a rainbow sticker along the sides that if you don't dry right away, well, they'll start to wrinkle. The Jumperoo does fold up for easier carrying/stowing but it's not a smooth transition. I don't see us doing it that often however. As I mentioned, the entertainment that the adults got was well worth the cost initially. And now, my nephew has a great time bouncing on it while strengthening his legs. He doesn't seem to like jumping without an audience but maybe he will when he gets a little older. Don't wait to get this, you won't regret it!!
