This was by far the best item we had bought for our granddaughter when she was younger-great for the 1-2 1/2 year range-she LOVED this jumperoo, we still laugh and talk about it and I have recommend this to every new mom out there-sure the "swing is ok" but this is secure, sturdy, they are seated well, allows for exercise,learning to stand and balance and they entertain themselves in a safe and fun enviorment-what more can you want, just beware baby may bounce themselves silly!
