When baby reaches the stage when she can easily hold her head up, she is ready for a baby jumperoo. What an exciting time she will have with the new freedom of being able to jump with joy. To be able to touch her tiny feet to the floor, to reach and grasp the colorful toys in front of her and to be able to activate lights and sounds all by herself!
A baby jumperoo is much more than a toy though. While she is having the time of her life, all of that jumping, reaching, and grasping is getting her ready for the next big step of walking. Reaching and grasping the toys in front of her is preparing her to be able to reach and grasp pieces of food all by herself.
Many jumperoos have interactive toys with sounds, music, and lights that are activated by her jumping action. Some models cater to the babies less than four months of age by providing black and white toys. (Babies cannot see color until around four months). The toys have two sides - one in black and white and one with color.
If the model you prefer does not have this feature, you certainly can provide black and white toys in addition to the ones that come with the jumperoo. After all, it is such a short time until they are ready for color.
Some models have a 360-degree rotating seat so baby can explore every part of her jumperoo. You can choose from models with a high back offering comfort and support for younger children. Seat adjustments range from three to five positions to grow with baby.
Newer models of jumperoos are free standing as opposed to the older models that require a doorway. Not only are the much safer, but they and light and portable so you can go from room to room with ease.
Baby is not the only one that will enjoy the jumperoo. Moms can also enjoy the freedom of being able to complete her tasks while baby is exercising and learning new skills.
When it comes to brands and models to choose from, there is a large price range and many features to choose from. Baby will enjoy her jumperoo until she reaches twenty five pounds and you will want to choose one that will grow with her and still be as much fun then as it was when she was much smaller.
Fisher Price has several great models. They have built a reputation on safety, affordability, and functionality. There are many themes to choose from with cute baby animals, rainforest themes, and farm animals. They are colorful and come with lights, sounds, and soft toys.
The MamaRoo bouncer was designed to simulate the motions every Mother makes with baby on her hip swinging, rocking, and bouncing to soothe her. It has music activated by baby's touch and an MP3 player connection to provide your own special music.
This bouncer has many positions from reclining to a sleep position to full action play time.
The award winning Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Jumper is quite impressive. It is designed for very young babies with a high back on the seat offering support and security.

If the model you have chosen doesn't come with your favorite feature such as a piano in three languages or the music you prefer, it is easy to customize the selection. She can still have individual toys with those same features.
