Big Toy for the Small Boy

It's true. Shopping for baby is a lot more fun than fitting fancy dresses that end up too tight.

We were looking for a developmental toy for our 4 1/2 month old son. I wanted something that would help him discover "cause and effect".

The Jumperoo is an Award-Winner. From http://www.fisher-price.com/, the Rainforest Jumperoo is described as: A place full of wonderful sights and sounds. The Rainforest Jumperoo brings it all down to size for little explorers! Still tons of safe jumping fun (which will activate rainforest music and lights!), but now there are toys all around the rainforest—and overhead—with a spinning seat that helps baby explore them all. This baby jumper features a bobbing elephant, swinging monkey, spinning lizard and more that baby will just “go wild” for! Baby spins drum to activate lights and music (Mom can activate for four minutes of continuous play). The baby jumper's soft spring covers keep little fingers safe and three-position height adjustment ensures a custom fit for your child.

The Jumperoo's price tag in Toy Town, Eastwood City Mall is P11,999.00

When we took the Jumperoo, Toy Town gave away a free Fisher-Price 2-in-1 Turtle Gym, which works kind of like the play gym but is ideally used when the baby is on his tummy instead of his back.

Because of this giant cause and effect toy, I had to rearrange furniture in his room to give space to the Jumperoo. It is quite big. I'm 5 foot 4 and it's about as high as my hips. It is foldable, though, but it doesn't fold as small as other toys do. That's understandable, given that the Jumperoo has a height limit of 81 cm (32 inch babies) and a weight limit of 25 lbs. (11.3 kilo babies). But it should only be used for a child who is able to hold his/her head up unassisted but who is not able to climb out or walk.
