Advantages: Its fun and promotes many skills for young babies

Disadvantages: bulky

This activity jumperoo is brilliant! Basically instead of a more traditional bouncer that hangs on a door frame - this sits in its own frame plus has the additional benifits for the baby to play with each activity as well as bounce, bounce, bounce! I bought this for my first baby when he was 5 months old, and now my twin daughters are using it aswell. They have all loved it so I have certainly got my money's worth! It retails for around £80 which may seem rather expensive but i believe it is worth every penny and you can always sell it on when your child has outgrown it. The 'chair' can spin around 360 degrees so that the child can reach various activities around and above. The main activity consists of music and lights, a bobbing elephant, a swinging monkey and parrot, and a spinning drum. Other activities include a spinning wheel, a dragon fly with soft wings, (at least i think its a dragon fly) a spinning ball with spinning sun inside, a jumping tiger, a spinning lizard, a hanging parrot, and a hanging frog. This product is recommended for 6 months+ but as long as baby can hold their head up then it is safe to use. It has three heights as baby's feet should not be flat on the floor but should be slightly tip toed to ensure safer bouncing. Fisher price also do other products in the rainforest collection - a peek-a-boo rainforest soother (see my review on this product) a swing, a bouncer chair etc.
My only little niggle about this toy is that in the photos of this toy the dragon fly is shown as standing straight up but realistically is just flops over but baby still likes it so its no big deal. Also it does fold down but is still bulky.
I would highly recommend this toy as it promotes great hand eye coordination and motor skills.

Summary: Highly recommend
