   I bought it when my son was 5 months old. He likes it. But he jumps too hard and sometimes even throws up in it. I was very scared to let him play by himself in the jumperoo because I never know when he will start to throw up. Maybe it’s just my son. I’m thinking of returning it and maybe get an excersaucer instead.

   I purchased this jumperoo for my son who was a little over 4 months at the time and he did not really care for it. Now that he is 6 months old, he has now learned that he needs to actually jump in it to make it fun (before he was just staring at the toys and I would bounce it manually). He can only be in it for about 20 minutes max before he starts to get bored. It takes up A LOT of room in our house and is a bit cumbersome to maneuver if you are relocating it elsewhere. In all, I do not think it was worth the $80 I paid for it. Next time, I will just purchase a walker instead.

   My son hates this thing. It was a Christmas present by request. My son is very physical at 5 months so I thought he’d really enjoy this. Boy was I wrong.

   First, the seat is tooooooo small. My son is average weight for 5 mos but taller than most babies. I feel like I have to cram him in compared to his exer-saucer.

   Second, the toys are crammed so close to the seat, his head is constantly downward which I think bothers him. In addition, it does not aid in reaching skills (hand-eye coordination).

   It is cute, nice colors, cute attachments. It had a lot of potential if they would have made it just a little wider.

   So we are back to our old exer-saucer and out the money/gift.

   Well as the title states my son likes this for about 15 minutes and then screams to get out!He’d rather be on the floor. It’s great if I have to do something really quickly and don’t want him getting into something. The toys are okay but he really doesn’t care for them unless we play with them too. I don’t know if it’s his age or what but we got it for him at 4 months because he could hold his head up very well and he’s now 6 months old. Maybe when he gets a little older he’ll like it more we’ll have to wait and see. Although I think this is the best jumper out there, it’s not something that I would buy again knowing now how my son doesn’t really care for it. And it’s really a pain to try to get his legs in the two little holes maybe that’s just a “mother malfunction” but I haven’t figured out a good and easy way to get him in it. If he moves his legs while I’m putting him in they often get stuck in the middle of the seat portion then I have to try to lift him one handed while fishing out one of his legs from the bottom to get it in the right hole. It’s happened more than once and I just think “You have to be kidding me!” Another little annoyance is that it seems to be statically charged because all the dog hair in our house seems to end up on it or around it.

   Great product, except that there is a little butterfly piece that is supposed to stand strait up, and it doesn’t. The plastic piece that is supposed to hold it up is all floppy – must have come from an off batch. Seriously, where’s the quality control Fisher Price?
