Rainforest Jumperoo

in May 2014 Moms
Does anyone here have this one?  We bought it for DS and I can't figure out why his feet aren't touching the ground.  He is over 28 in, so I was sure he would be tall enough.  Do they have to be a certain weight for it to work?  Just wanting some other opinions!  I saw on the reviews that some people had way younger babies in it.  I know I can put a pillow underneath him, but I just didn't think he would need it!

    We have one and it's at the lowest setting. DD has been using it for two months now (with a blanket under) but I took the blanket out the other day and she can touch the ground. Not flat footed but enough to get a little bounce going. She's about 24.5 inches if I remember correctly.

    It has 3 height adjustments. Look at the straps and on the underside.

    1 is the lowest setting. They should only be able to touch with their tippy toes.

    I have it on #1.  His tippy toes don't even touch.  I wonder if it is a weight issue then?

    How much does you LO weigh? My friend has one at her house so when we go over, DD uses it and loves it. She touched the floor fine at 14 lbs.

    We have one, she still needs something underneath to really be able to put her feet down. I believe at 6 months she was 16lb 9oz, 27"

    Hmmm...sounds like they are a little inconsistent with the manufacturing maybe? DS is 26 inches, 14.5lbs and already bouncing around on the level 2 strap setting.

    LO is 25.5 in and can reach with her tippy toes... That is bizarre that your LO is that much taller and can't reach.. They must not all be made quite alike?

    I will definitely try putting some weight on it and seeing if it'll stretch out the springs some.  He has pretty long legs I think.

    Also try to tie a shoe lace around the seat where his legs go through and bunch it together so that his feet touch.

    Ok where his legs go through there's a piece of fabric in between them. Pinch it together and tie it with a little piece of shoe lace so his legs dangle. It's so much better on their little hips until their about 9 months or so. And he should be able to touch better.
