The Rainforest Jumperoo is an interactive jumping toy made by Fisher-Price. This baby toy is meant for children old enough to support their own heads, but who are not yet able to climb out of this toy or walk yet. The Rainforest Jumperoo is designed to create a secure, safe atmosphere, while introducing your child to stimulating interactive play. All facets of this toy encourage healthy growth and development.
Pros:
- The seat of the Rainforest Jumperoo rotates 360 degrees. There are toys on all sides, so this allows for a constantly changing view for the baby. This keeps the baby entertained for longer than the old non-rotating jumper toys.
- There are animals hanging above the from the leaves that encourage the baby to jump and try to reach them.
- The music & sounds are rainforest-like and stimulate the baby’s auditory senses as well as reward the baby for bouncing and spinning in the seat.
- The round shape takes up less room than the older style A-frame jumper toys.
- The Rainforest Jumperoo is attractive and well constructed.
- The Rainforest Jumperoo has many animals and toys, including a parrot hanging from a bead bar, a monkey swinging from a vine ,a tiger that plays hide and seek, a spinning lizard that makes rattling sounds, a bobbling elephant, and a tethered chew toy, all brightly colored to keep baby’s attention. There is also music triggered by baby’s jumping and lights that flash to the beat of the music.
- This toy is easy to put- up, take-down and only weighs 19.6 pounds, so it is easy to transport and use anywhere.
- The springs are covered with fabric to protect baby’s fingers from being pinched.
- Seat is easily removable and machine washable.
- The Rainforest Jumperoo has three height adjustments to accommodate a baby as it grows.
Cons:
- Some may find this toy large, bulky and difficult to move from room to room, as it does not slide or roll across the floor very easily. It also does not fit through doorways when fully assembled.
- Some people may find the seat cover on the Rainforest Jumperoo more difficult to remove than other Fisher-Price Jumperoo models.
- Dangerous for babies that are not able to support their own head yet. The bouncing creates a lot of jiggling motion and can be damaging to a baby’s neck.
- Some people may find the animal sounds irritating.
- The bobbling elephant is difficult for a child to turn by himself. This can frustrate some children and make them fussy

I recently purchased the Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo for my 8-month old son. When we first put him in the Jumperoo, he was not quite sure what to do, but he figured it out within a couple of minutes. After he understood that he could jump, he started bouncing and giggling like crazy.
My son is most fond of the toys that hang from the leaves above his head (the frog and parrot). He jumps and tries to reach them.
I am able to fold this jumper and put it away if I so choose, but it is a bit cumbersome, so I have found a place in my home next to my exercise bike, where mother and son can work out together for about 20-30 minutes per day. That suits us perfectly. My son and I love this toy.
