Amazon.com Review
There are baby bouncers, and there are activity centers -- and then, there's the Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Jumper, which combines both concepts in one fun, convenient, and economical toy. Babies ages 4 months and up, under 25 pounds, will enjoy bouncing with their legs and swiveling in their seats to play with a variety of developmentally challenging activities.

What We Think Fun Factor: Durability: (what this means) The Good: Versatile activity center gives babies vital leg exercise and stimulation with a variety of enticing toys The Bad: May be too cumbersome for small living spaces In a Nutshell: Activity Jumper combines baby bouncer with popular activity center functionality in one convenient and fun toy At a Glance Ages: 4 months and up to 25 pounds Requires:#1 Phillips screwdriver; 3 C batteries

Babies will be able to explore music with the piano keys. View larger.

The Activity Jumper folds flat for easy storage. View larger.

Innovative Variety of Developmental Activities
The Musical Motion Activity Jumper sports a cheerful, primary-color palette that's eye-catching and suitable for boys or girls. It stands on a base, with the infant bucket seat attached to two arches by adjustable, spring-loaded straps. When baby is placed in the seat, he can kick off the ground with his legs to bounce up and down. This provides vital exercise for a youngster's legs, helping to prepare him for walking. The six-point height adjustment lets it grow with your infant, while non-skid feet and fabric-covered springs keep baby safe.

Most bouncers stop there -- but we're delighted to find that the Activity Jumper also surrounds baby with plenty of fun, interactive toys. The bucket seat can rotate 360 degrees for baby to reach all of the activities. He'll delight in the frog spinner, bead chaser, and baby-proof mirror. The toy also includes 10 Baby Einstein links that can be repositioned and detached from the activity center for on-the-go play, or which serve as attachment points for additional toys.

A teether stalk toy helps soothe itchy gums while encouraging "reach and grab" coordination. And the light-up piano keys give baby an interactive introduction to musical creativity with two modes: the "piano notes" mode plays in piano tones, while the "melodies" mode features five classical melodies.

Help Your Little One Get Stronger
Babies love bouncing. Not only is it exciting for a baby to move himself with the power of his own legs, but it gives him satisfying, and vital, exercise that helps prepare him for standing and walking. The higher and harder that baby bounces in the Activity Jumper, the more the toys will rattle and shake -- making it even more exciting and fun. And with the added benefit of a rotating seat, which baby operates by pushing off the ground with his feet, your infant gets even more leg coordination practice in a safe, secure place. We especially enjoy the versatility of this 2-for-1 toy -- and it's safer than an infant walker.

Other perks for parents: the fabric seat cover is a cinch to remove, and it's machine washable. And unlike some other bouncers, the Activity Jumper folds down flat for much easier storage. While it's erected, however, it takes up a bit of room. And because your baby won't be able to use this toy once he's able to stand and walk unassisted, it has a limited-use timeframe.

Customer Reviews

Baby loved it...until it broke.
If you're a parent who bought this and the piano/music box insert is broken, call Kids 2 at 1-800-230-8190 and ask for a replacement. Apparently this part has broken so many times that they don't ask any questions. It is also so common that the part is on backorder, so you will want to call them right away. See the rest of my review for more details, but I wanted to save some unfortunate parent some precious time so I put this at the top.

My 4-month-old loved this from the first moment she sat in it. She could spend an hour in it easily. She especially liked banging on the piano/music box insert. Unfortunately, this was short lived as the piano/music box stopped working after only 2 weeks. We replaced the batteries, but the box never worked again. I did some research online and discovered that other parents had complained about the same problem. They had suggested calling the manufacturer for a replacement, but no one had the number.

After a few calls around, I finally contacted Kids 2 and they offered to ship a replacement out in a month. Six weeks later, I called to check on it and was told that "things are often delayed from China and this is on back order". When I asked how long it would be I was told maybe another 4 to 6 weeks. Thats a total of over three months to get a replacement part from the manufacturer. Thats IF they actually deliver this time. I'm not holding my breath. I won't be buying any Kids 2 products again any time soon.

Without the piano unit, there are really only 2 sections of the exerciser left to entertain the baby. She enjoys chewing on the sunflower, but that section has no other toys, so the other 2 inserts get most of her attention. Thankfully, the bouncer also has loops to attach other toys.
If it weren't for the fact that we could attach other toys, she would have really missed that piano.

In summation, I would have given this product five stars if it weren't for that piano. My daughter loved it. She still likes playing in the Jumper and we use it every day. I took one star away for an obviously defective piece of equipment. I took another star away for the ridiculously long time it is going to take for the replacement to arrive. If you're one of the lucky parents that didn't get a defective music insert, then I'll bet you'll love this product.

UPDATE - August 1, 2008
So I got the replacement for the piano insert and, as I thought, it broke about 2 weeks after we received it. I called Baby Einstein customer support (1-800-793-1454 Prompt #5) and they were fantastic. They contacted Kids 2 for me and requested a refund for the full price of the toy. Kids 2 called me and were very apologetic and accommodating. They are sending out a refund check as well as another replacement piano insert. My daughter still loves the toy and uses the piano every day (when it works). I wanted to let you all know that the customer support with Baby Einstein is amazing. If you do get a broken bouncer, you will get great support from the Baby Einstein support staff (Mary and Donna).

Not what I expected
My son currently has the Rainforest Jumperoo and he loved it so much I thought I would get him another jumper to keep at his daycare for him.
I really likes the looks and activities that the Baby Einstien jumper ha and since it was a little bit different with activities and sort, I bought one.
I have to say right away, this jumper is extremely tight as far as jumping is concerened. The springs are very stiff and when my son tried to jump, it barely moved. He is 8 months old and quite strong. He got tired of this jumper very quickly and wanted to go back to his Rainforest Jumperoo. And once I put him in his other jumper, he was as happy as a lark! Jumping away like mad.
Now the good point is that it folds up more easily and compact than the Rainforest Jumperoo and it doesnt unfold when tring to move it place to place. Thats a plus!
But as far as the jumping goes, no way! het the Rainforest Jumperoo, that is so much better!!!!!
I already got rid of the Baby Einstien Jumper!! Thumbs down!

Stupid Keyboard
After looking around at many different jumpers, I liked the features best on this one. When it arrived, it was easy to put together. I was excited. Well, it went downhill from there! I had read about the keyboard problems, but since most were from 2008 I thought that surely the problem had been fixed...WRONG! My son used this for 2 days about 5-10 minutes each time and the keyboard no longer works. I am extremely upset. Also, it says that it comes with 10 connector rings....NOPE...I only received 7. And finally in the picture on the right side is a caterpillar with buttons to push and turn. I did not get that on mine, I got two little rings to hang toys on. Very disappointed and will be returning to buy another product. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE! GET SOMETHING ELSE.
