Author's Review
The Fisherprice Rainforest jumper is absolutely the best! My 9 month old daughter still squeals with delight when I put her in the tropical themed toy and jumps for quite a while. It's really the only stationary toy to entertain her. When first considering the Rainforest version, I thought it looked slightly unstable and didn't trust the three poles that hold the springs up from swaying as my baby grew. The jumper has stood up to many a heavy jumping session and is still in perfect shape.
The red, frog seat rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing baby to explore while she jumps. The bright, dangling frog and bird overhead are great extras and it is a riot watching my baby reach for and pull the soft little guys. The colors are so vivid and all of the toys are inviting and alluring. Most of them are, however, spinning toys that don't require a whole lot of thought. My daughter is most fond of the sun shining through the cloud just over the rainbow and the hiding tiger in the grass. The sun is enclosed in a bubble that spins, while the child can push a button to expose "peek a boo" tiger from the grass. Being compact and round is its best attribute, as it hardly uses much space at all. This allows me to simply leave it in the living room without rearranging anything.
The music plays from the front, toy piece with elephant, bird, and monkey to attract little ones and is triggered by baby's jumping. The control has two volumes, which is very nice. The seat is washable and the dangling dragonfly is interchangeable, which I consider a MUST. He just laid there, limply, teasing my daughter who could not reach him or bring him to her mouth at 3 months old. We swapped him out for a Graco Switcheroo teether fish that stands upright and is very easy for her to grab and chew.
This jumper is quite sensitive and allows for even small babies to enjoy slight bouncing. Definitely worth every penny and highly enjoyable for both mom and baby. She steels my attention every time she jumps in the thing! One of a kind product!
