Baby Jumper Styles That Are Functional (and Fun)

Babies are so tiny, but man, their supplies and necessities take up a ton of space! At some point, you will swap out your baby's bassinet for something more activity-based, like an activity seat or a baby jumper. The Evenflo ExerSaucer Tiny Tropics 2-in-1 Baby Seat and Door Jumper is essentially both of these things, which means parents won't have two baby toys cluttering their living space.

When used as a jumper, it extends from door jambs, and when used as an activity seat, it takes up less floor space compared to other models. The conversion process is a piece of cake. Simply remove the wooden legs and transform the toy from a seat to a jumper. No tools are necessary!

Sometimes less really is more. Not every parent wants the giant, loud, flashing jumper sitting front and center in their living room. The Bright Starts Bounce 'N Spring Deluxe Door Jumper does what it is intended to do: it bounces. It does so in a non-obtrusive way, sleekly fitting into doorways, securing to door jambs. It can be easily moved from one area of the house to another, so no matter what room you are in, your baby can bounce away until their tiny heart is content.

Having the ability to move a jumper is a major plus, especially if your home has smaller doorways. Trying to move the large jumpers that don't fold down through doorways often leaves marks on your walls and sweat dripping down your back. With the Bright Starts Bounce 'N Spring Deluxe Door Jumper, you can have the baby under one arm, the jumper under the other, and move about with minimal swearing under your breath.

The Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo has left little to the imagination. Anything a parent might want from a baby jumper is addressed in this one toy. It rotates 360 degrees, folds completely flat making storage simple, has toys, lights, and music for infant stimulation, and can be adjusted to three varying heights.

The Skip Hop Explore and More Baby's View 3-Stage Activity Center is a favorite jumper among so many parents because it is essentially three toys in one and addresses so many fine and gross motor needs. Yes, it bounces, but more than that, it focuses on infant balance and movement. The attached toys encourage grasping and manipulation, and the jumper is one of the only ones on the market that focuses on "whole body" learning. Whether your little one is using it as a jumper, a sit-and-swivel activity center, a cruiser, or a play table, this jumper will be something of use for years, making it an excellent investment piece.

Disney lovers rejoice! Here is a baby bouncer just for you... I mean, your kid. The Disney Baby Finding Nemo Sea of Activities Jumper has more toys and objects to manipulate than many baby bouncers out there. They are all Nemo-inspired and a few of the toys detach so babies can take them along when they are on-the-go. The seat also contains a high back for added support, and it swivels around completely.

If your family enjoys getting out in the world, exploring, and vacationing, and you have a tot in tow, you are going to quickly learn to purchase toys and items that are easy to travel with. Large jumpers are not easily stored in cars, even when folded flat, and the jumpers that hang from door jambs need...well, door jambs.

Enter: KidCo P7002 GoPod! It folds up small, much like a camping chair could, and can be set up in a second. If you spend your Saturdays sitting at older sibings' soccer games or enjoy camping on your weekends, this jumper is an absolute must.

When it comes to bouncing babies, the Jolly Jumper got the party started. It has been on the market since 1948, and parents still find it worth buying. This Jolly Jumper comes with its own freestanding floor stand so it can be used indoors or outside.
