My child LOVED her jumparoo....at first she was not too impressed, but it grew on her. It was even an "approved" activity center from her cranial specialist. She had to wear a cranial band and unlike a bouncy seat or swing where her neck muscles are not really being used to hold her head up, the jumperoo allowed her to strengthen her leg and neck muscles while she played. It's also great for her learning to crawl and walk because she is using mucsles she would never be able to use in a regular walker. She could stay in it for hours if I would have let her. I wish it was a little easier to travel with, but we managed. She has outgrown it now : ( and it's put away, but it's a wonderful product!!
