Product Information

Everything that babies and kids play with goes through Rachel Rothman, the Good Housekeeping Institute's chief technologist and executive technical director. Testers noted that it's easy to get baby in and out of this seat and that the fabric is machine washable. Tummy time, which leads to rolling and crawling on the floor, is what sets your baby up for walking, according to pediatric experts. Choosing the best baby bouncer for you and your little one can be a challenge when there are so many options available. Scientists, engineers, journalists and, yes, parents all have a hand in reviewing consumer products for the Good Housekeeping Institute.

In our tests, we found that the spring enclosed in the suspension cable does make a noise as your baby moves around, and that's normal.The second concern is that any jumper seat — freestanding or mounted — can set the child’s hips in an awkward position, focusing exercise on the wrong leg muscles. It includes lots of interactive elements — more than 25 toys, lights and sounds — to promote exploration and spark curiosity. At this point, there’s the risk that your baby could tip the bouncer over as they sit up or roll over on their own. Our experts also attend trade shows, meet with brands and regularly scour the market for new items to test and try.

With jumpers, you’ll need to check the weight limits and phase it out once your child reaches that limit. At the Good Housekeeping Institute, our experts regularly review a range of kids' products, from baby gates to the year's best toys. Baby bouncers have angled seats that usually are designed with a stationary frame and include restraints to ensure that your baby is safely situated in the seat. You're a role model for your child so stay active yourself and try to meet the physical activity guidelines for adults.

By definition, a jumper is designed for a much more active baby who has met specific milestones before you start using it.
