are jumperoo's worth buying?
in Baby
DD is almost 5 months old and prefers to be sitting or standing rather than laying at the mo. My friend is going to loan me her daughters door bouncer, but I wondered whether a jumperoo would also be worth having? I've seen the jumperoo's on the fisher price website which look cool. Have also seen the bounce and spin froggy by fisher price which is kind of similar...? I'm just looking for something else to keep her entertained, sure the mat and her chair and mummy's lap can get boring sometimes!!

we have the jump and spin froggy which is slightly smaller than the rainforest jumparoo, but LO loves it has been going in it from 15 weeks and still loves it now at six months and is still on the lowest setting and hes not a shortie either
We did buy her a door bouncer (for when I was in the shower) but she doesn't really like that either. TBH she's now more than happy to just sit on her mat - we have an Ikea one with no dangly bits and a Fisher Price jungle one with room for sitting and a few dangly bits - and play with her toys and we don't have to have a huge lump of plastic in the room, so I'm glad we didn't buy one

If you are going to get one, do it now so that your LO can start using it straight away. HTH xx
Is fisher price the only one that do jumperoo's or are there others?

there are always plenty on ebay if you wanted a bargain they are expensive new but if its your first baby and you want more its definately worth the money actually even if you only intent on having the one its still worth the money i couldnt give it a higher recommendation! x
I do think it was great for strengthening her legs, hence the reason she didn't want to be in it anymore, She prefers cruising!
I think they are fab, but pricey for what they are. If I didn't have mine in the loft for number 2, I would get one secondhand. Netmums is great for bargains
This thread has just reminded me I haven't tried her for a few weeks so will give her another go in it this weekend (with the box under her feet of course so she can reach.
She did seem interested by it all, she couldn't reach any of the toys.
Do you have a toy library where you live? Might be worth looking into loaning it if you can
