Best Baby Jumpers of 2019
Watch baby get a little air and squeal with joy in these bouncing toys.


There are few things that make babies shriek with joy like jumpers. These seats, attached to elastic straps, let your little one use their toes to push off the ground and get a little air. The result? Huge smiles and a ridiculous amount of laughter. (And maybe even a few minutes to let you get a few things done around the houseâwhile still keeping an eye on the bouncing, of course!)
Jumpers come in two versions:
- Doorway jumpers have straps that clamp to the top of the doorway. They take up less space, but can be inconvenient if you need to walk through said doorway on a regular basis. (Tip: If your house has really wide moldings or other unusual features, doorway jumpers might not work with them.)
- Freestanding jumpers are all-in-one structure with straps that attach the jumping portion to built-in rods. They can be placed anywhere in the house, but they tend to take up more room.
Both designs require that your child can hold their head upright unassisted, which means youâll get the most use out of your jumper when your little one is between six months to a year old. And even though watching your kiddo happily bounce around is pretty fun, youâll want to limit jumper use to about 10 to 15 minutes per dayâmore time than that will put undue stress on your little oneâs joints and delay the natural development like core strength and motor development that occurs when your baby simply plays on the floor. (If youâve maxed out your daily jump time but still need a safe place for baby to play, try a playard, a play mat, or an activity gym.)
Built-In Bumper
Your little one can bust all the moves they want in this doorway jumper without damaging your doorframe, thanks to a bumper that surrounds the entire seat. And the door clampâwhich is a cinch to applyâwonât scuff your moldings. The jumper also features two clip-on toys and a built-in toy tray.

Classic Go-To
This classic jumper relies solely on your babyâs fascination with bopping up and down to keep them entertained. And it does! The triangle-shaped seat keeps your little one safely encased, and the seat material comes in nine different color patterns. Two bungee straps make swinging side to side less likely, too.

For Minimalists
Making kids smile since 1948, the Jolly Jumper also makes parents happy with its slim profile. Unlike other doorway jumpers, this one doesnât have a molded seat but instead has a fabric saddle that provides a safe and snug fit. Itâs perfect for those who need something that doesnât take up too much space and can be easily stowed away. (Jolly Jumper makes a stand version, too.)

Ultimate Entertainer
The freestanding Fisher-Price Jumperoo costs more than simpler doorway jumpers, but thatâs because it doubles as an activity center, too. When your babe isnât bouncing up and down, they can reach overhead for hanging plushies and spin the seat in a full circle to reach all the toys built into the tray. Thereâs even lights and music, too.
