Is our rainforest jumperoo defective?

Got this a month ago when DD was just over 5m and plopped her in it at the lowest setting. Her feet were flat on the ground, so we raised it to the #2 setting, which seemed right.

She recently figured out how to jump, and her feet are pretty flat on the floor most of the time...which leads me to believe we need to raise it again. She was 28.5 inches a week ago, so she's a tall girl, but how can she be outgrowing this thing already? I read online that someone had a 30" baby in this jumperoo at the #3 setting and his feet wouldn't touch the ground. Also, I plopped DD into a friend's rainforest jumperoo about a month ago that was on the #2 setting and her feet didn't reach the ground at all. So, it seems like mine is much lower.

What gives? Can anyone else vouch for newer models of this jumper being 'short' or is it just mine? I've had it a while now, I doubt I can exchange it. But it irks me; poor kiddo just figured out how to have a good time in it!

Has it been used before?  Is the elastic worn out?  DS is about 28" and I have him on the 2 setting and he is tip toeing.

ETA: Ours was a garage sale find, so I know it's been through at least 1 kid.

DD is 30" and is flat footed on the highest setting. We bought our jumperoo brand new.

DD is shorter than yours and we just bumped it up to the second setting.

My LO is much shorter than your baby, and she is still almost flat footed at the third setting. My guess it is because she is heavy and weighs it down more??? We also bought our jumperoo new.

My DD has been on the second setting since 4 1/2 months.
