Comfort and Security
Regarding safety and security, it has been thus designed so that it is placed safely on the ground. It consists of a sturdy metal frame which is constructed to be flexible during movement in order not to break and to take the effect of the jumping on itself rather than the baby, so some wobbling can be expected and that should not be a concern for parents.

Physical Development
The initial height position is suitable for very young babies and it is recommended that they touch the floor with their toes, but not have their feet on the ground or hang from the seat. In case babies’ feet are not long enough to touch the floor, it is advisable for parents to put an additional mat or another surface so that the baby touches the ground with its feet. In that way, the baby will learn to push itself up and down and back and forth and will stimulate the development of the motor skills. As the baby grows the seat can be adjusted in three positions so that it fits the purpose of bouncing and jumping.
Above the seat, extending from the frame, there are two soft leaves which complement the overall feeling of being in a jungle and which also have soft hanging toys which motivate the baby to reach for them. It seems that the rubber butterfly is babies’ favorite toy because it is chewable and it can be easily cleaned. The product is thus designed so that it stimulates not only learning and curiosity, but it also stimulates movement and leg muscles strengthening.
In addition to this, the baby will soon realize that it can push itself up and down, back and forth and that is a perfect exercise for babies who are on a constant move. Babies enjoy bouncing and jumping and thus develop their gross motor skills so most of them enjoy in the Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo.
