For Christmas,
Little Miss was lucky enough to receive some money and Mothercare vouchers,
which we decided to put towards buying her a jumper. I didn't go out of my way
to pick the Baby Einstein Neighbourhood Friends Jumper over the super-popular Fisher Price Jumperoo,
it just happened to be on special offer at the time and as they both looked
quite similar I decided to give it a try.
And I am so pleased
we did! From day one, Little Miss has loved this jumper as there is so much to
do, see, touch and attempt to eat! There are three different 'stations' for
babies to play at: a sun and parrot; a keyboard; a spinning cylinder with beads
and a dog picture in it. There's also plenty of space to attach Little Miss's
LaMaze toys, too. It's lovely hearing her hit the keys on the keyboard, or
watching her try to cram a musical note in her mouth when she's teething. The
seat spins round on a track and Little Miss seemed to learn how to move it
quite easily.
Little Miss loves
playing in her jumper and she seems really well supported and comfy; although
when she first went in it, she was a little too small for the seat, so we had
to bulk her out with blankets! It comes apart easily, so has travelled with us
to grandparents' houses on a few occasions, although it does take up most of
the space in the car.
The only thing
Little Miss doesn’t do in her jumper is jump. We have tried bouncing her
ourselves (which makes her giggle), bouncing in front of her (which earns a
quizzical stare) and using the word 'bounce' as much as possible, but she's
just not interested. I don't think this is anything to do with the design of
the jumper, it's just that Little Miss doesn't want to . She's exactly the same
in her door bouncer - she's happy spinning around and giggling at us, while
keeping both feet firmly on the ground!
