Why tummy time is important

All babies and young children need to be active, including children with a long-term condition or disability, unless their health professionals give you different advice. Having a large, colorful and possibly noisy toy center is something most first-time parents of newborns hope to avoid, but as an infant grows more curious and begins to sit up, it's easier to see the appeal of giving them their own baby-centric indoor playground. A jumper does take up space, and its aesthetic is usually aimed at babies, but jumpers can provide parents with a few minutes to prepare dinner or clean up while the baby is having fun. Bouncing up and down is by no means required for development. Tummy time, which leads to rolling and crawling on the floor, is what sets your baby up for walking, according to pediatric experts. With those factors in mind, we suggest using a baby jumper no more than 15 minutes a day.

To create this roundup of best baby jumpers, our experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute tested a variety of both freestanding jumpers and those that hang in doorways. We looked at the top brands and gave preference to jumpers that have been on the market for enough time to get month-over-month reports. We examined 15 baby jumpers in our Lab and sent those same jumpers to parents for use with more than 10 energetically bouncing babies at home. Pulling, pushing, grasping and playing with other people are great ways to practise different kinds of movements.

You'll save money and space if you skip a stationary jumper and get one that clamps onto a doorframe. You'll need a doorway with trim that will help hold the clamp; this jumper wouldn't work in a rounded, frameless doorway, for instance. Granted, this won't last through preschool like Skip Hop's jumper-to-table (also on our list), but Bounce Bounce Baby becomes a toddler toy table that's useful until about your child's second birthday. Because there are no overhead arches, it has a slightly lower profile than other baby jumpers. We especially like that you can replace the seat with a net that holds toys for your toddler to fish out.
