Graco Bumper Jumper

Pros: Fun for baby!
Cons: only avail for use up to 25 lbs - may not fit on some doorways

When my husband and I registered for gifts for the baby shower the Bumper Jumper was one of the ones my husband insisted on having. He insisted it would be lots of fun and also safe. I was paranoid that it was dangerous. I gave in and registered...

Pros: Lots of fun for babies, strengthens leg muscles, doesn't mar doors, easily cleaned, portable.
Cons: Cannot be used on 8' doors.

What a wonderful concept...it's a simple idea - hang something heavy from rubber bands...let it bounce. Who ever would have imagined you could do this with a baby? Sounds a little crazy at first, but it is really fabulous!

When I first heard...

Pros: Makes Mom and Kids happy.
Cons: Needs to be made so that it can grow with the child.

The Graco Bumper Jumper is one of the greatest products that I have purchased in years. I bought this for a friend’s child for Christmas and have watched her have so much fun. The smiles are unbelievable. She was just old enough to be able to...

Pros: Lots of fun, never fails to cheer the kid up
Cons: This thing is NOT a babysitter. Getting the kid out can be tough.

Shortly before my son's birth, my wife was busy registering for baby goodies. I suggested a jumper. (Didn't have the Graco one in mind specifically, but since 90% of Alex's stuff is Graco, it seemed to fit.)
My wife was...

Pros: strong, entertaining
Cons: tangles when removing child, won't fit on all doorways

As with much of the baby equipment I received when I was pregnant with my first child, my Graco Bumper Jumper second-hand.

I started using this product for my first two children when they reached the age about 8 months old. At this age they...

Pros: Easy to attach, bumper makes it easier to remove child, more exciting than any exersaucer!
Cons: Measure your doorways first -- may be too tall or narrow

If you have tall doorways, please read on -- we did find a solution! But first, the basics:

Exhibit 1: Bouncy, Bouncy Baby

Our first daughter loved her exersaucer, and we never felt the need for a doorway jumper. But baby...

Pros: Baby loves it. Keeps him entertained. Also strengthens legs.
Cons: A bit hard to remove baby! Need molding above door.

My husband and I purchased this for about $35.00. It was one of the best buys we made for our son. He absolutely loves it. At first he was unsure of what to do, but now he is jumping and walking to wards us. He laughs the entire time! We have to ...

Pros: Easy to use and assemble
Cons: Need moulding or have to make some

I originally received this jumper as a shower gift and ended up returning it because the apartment we live in doesn't have moulding around the door frame between our living room and kitchen... Then I had an idea! buy two chunks of moulding and screw them...

Pros: great work out for baby, offers some parental freedom
Cons: entry and exit can be challenging

As a relatively new father, one who stays at home to care for our little bundle of joy, I have to say that the Graco Bumper Jumper is a godsend. Our 5 month old son is quite the career for me. This product has quickly become one of my best weapons the...

Pros: Very easy to transport, very safe
Cons: I found it difficult to remove the seat for cleaning

We purchased the Graco Bumper Jumper for our daughter when she was about six months old. Every time we tried to put her in it, she would scream until we took her out. Since it was such a phenomenal failure with her, we banished it to the basement and...

Pros: Bouncy fun, easy to use
Cons: Can't use in all doorways in our house

When we visited our mother-in-law in Florida with our son, 4 months old at the time, she had purchased the Bumper Jumper for our son. He absolutely loved it!

The jumper attaches to the ledge of the door frame with a long bungee cord type of...

Pros: Emits squeals of delight (requires baby, not included).
Cons: Marks up the wall, not designed for a heavy or tall baby.

Yeah, we learned our lesson -- DON'T put your kid into this product if he/she just ate! I'm still cleaning milk stains off the walls/carpeting/furniture. Old Faithful would be jealous!

Why can't they make an exerciser for ADULTS that's...

Pros: sturdy, secure, accompanying tray, toy loop
Cons: may not be suitable for small doorways

This is one of the best things we have gotten for our daughter! We first put her in it when she was just 3 months old, and now that she's 7 1/2 months old, she's still having a ball! We have a friend who's son is just 2 weeks younger than our daughter,...

Pros: baby is entertained while moms hands are free!
Cons: they will grow out of it one day

Jump for joy! This thing rocks (and bounces and swings)! We received this as a shower gift and I will love the people who gave it to us forever! I was very unsure of it when we received it because I thought it seemed "unsafe". I was nervous...

Pros: Great product!
Cons: Baby can be hard to remove.

My son loves to be on the move. He loved his walker up until a week ago when he broke it. How did he break it? He jumped in it over and over again until it broke. A few days later my Santa (Grandma) got him a Bumper Jumper for Christmas.
