My wife and I have a 3 1/2 month old daughter that loves to stand. She also loves to be independent. We bought her this jumper because it seemed like the perfect toy for her. She can stand up in the jumper without us having to balance her. The jumper supports her and allows her to play and be active without my wife and I having to hold onto her. She really loves the toys that attach to the jumper. They really keep her interest, and they are very appropriate for her age. It is also nice that all the toys use the same attachment method, so they can be interchanged from location to location. We like that there are toys that are up high that our daughter can reach and jump to get, and then there are toys that are at her level on the tray that she can reach for. It really gives her a lot of opportunities to play and have fun in the jumper.
The jumper is also adjustable for height, so it will take a long time for our daughter to grow out of this. She will be able to use this until she is walking.
The jumper feels very sturdy. It isn't going to topple over or move around while being used. It was fairly easy to put together. You only need a phillips head screw driver to assemble. The toy takes 6 AAA batteries (3 in each of the electronic interactive toys), so be prepared for that when buying. The only downside is that it takes up quite a bit of space, and it isn't collapsible
Pros:
-Helps develop muscles in child
-Allows for independent stand-up play
-Very sturdy
-Easy to assemble
-Variety of toys and types of toys (teether toys, soft toys, mirror, etc)
-Toys share a common base, and can be installed in any location
-Two electronic toys that are interactive
-Seat rotates to allow child full 360 degree freedom
Cons:
-Large (approx 3 foot diameter)
-Doesn't collapse for storage
-Takes 6 AAA batteries (Not a big deal, but I am expecting to have to keep plenty of batteries on hand)
-The lowest setting isn't quite low enough to let our daughters feet touch the ground (she is 3 1/2 months old), so we set a board game box under her feet to give her something to stand on when using the jumper.
Overall, I can't express how much we love this jumper. Our daughter really has a good time in it. It meets her needs for independant play, standing, muscle development, & balance. It lets us play with her without having to hold on to her. It gives her freedom to explore her environment and lets her make play time what she wants it to be.
