Does anyone have a Jumperoo or something similar? If so, would you recommend it over an exersaucer? We are considering buying either this or an exersaucer, so I'm wondering if it is worth the $100 price tag and if one is better than the other.
My mom said my absolute favorite thing when I was around DD's age was the Johnny Jump Up. She swears I was walking at the age of 9 months and the JJU was the reason. These are still around, and much cheaper than the Jumperoo, but make me a little nervous. Aside from worrying about it coming detached from the doorframe, I wonder if it could cause leg or hip injuries. I never had any issues, but my cousin who is around my age broke his leg in his. However, I'm sure they have had some safety advances in the past 30 years.
Anyway, any feedback is much appreciated!
Re: Jumperoo?
We bought a fisherprice rainforest jumparoo today at a garage sale for $35. She loves it. Played in it three times today! She has an exersaucer, too. But doesnt seem to like it as much. The jumparoo seems to have a smaller seat area, so she fits in it better, and doesn't wobble so much. We dont really have a door frame to hang one of the other things from (i'd have to sit in the hallway to watch her), so I havent even really looked at one.
What a score! Sounds like the Jumperoo is the best of both worlds, so now begins the search for a great deal like this!
Have you looked on FB for one? In WI there are a lot of different communities and counties that do buy, sell, trades or rummages using FB. I just got a second exersaucer for my parents and it was 15!! Something to look into!
I will check it out! I thought about Amazon or eBay, but figured shipping would be high since it is quite a bulky item. So something local would be ideal. I actually don't have a real Facebook (yep I'm one of the few) but I have one I created to get freebies from companies, so all my "friends" are like Proctor and Gamble and Loreal! Lol! So if I do find someone selling the Jumperoo, they'll prob think I'm a weirdo. :-) But it's worth a shot! Thanks for the tip!
