When my daughter was around 4 months old, I began looking into walkers, exersaucers, and all those wonderful things out on the market. I really wanted something that could help her develop her legs and discovered that it is really hard to find walkers, and if you do find any, they either lack in quality or they don't have any toys on them to entertain. So, when I saw the jumparoo, I knew it was what we wanted.

The jumparoo cost $79, and that was probably the best $79 I ever spent. We actually bought it a little early, but with some blanket propping, I would sit with her and let her play for a few minutes. She loved it. When she got about 6 months old, she would play and jump for over 30 minutes. I put it on the mode that plays a little song and lights up when they jump and she would jump over and over for the music. Me and my husband were amazed at how fast she would get to jumping, and she would just laugh the whole time. She loved all the spinning toys around it, and would laugh when I played peek-a-boo with the elephant that turns 1/2 way around. She loved to swat at the little toys that hung from the top. I believe this toy helped tremendously with her hand coordination. She was so thrilled when she was finally able to spin in her seat all by herself.
 
The rainforest theme is so cute, and great for either gender. It went together very easily and is extremely durable. The seat comes off the frame easily so that it can be washed. There are a few nooks and crannies, but it is still simple to wipe and clean. The toys hanging from the top are adjustable so you can move them up and baby grows, as is the seat. Batteries are easy to change, and you will be doing that often!

My daughter is now too big for it, so we have passed it on to my aunt for a little boy she babysits. He is 9 months old and loves it every bit as much as my daughter did. This is 1 thing I would highly recommend for anyone with an infant. It does so much more than just entertain. You, and your baby, will get many months of enjoyment from this toy.

The quicker they can learn hand/eye the better off they are and when they also have fun doing it you can't help but feel good. This was a great find and even better still working to pass to along to another to learn and have fun! ;)
