Need Recommendation for Jumping Apparatus for 6 Month Old

S.Y. asks from Pittsburgh, PA

My little guy needs to jump! We have an old jolly jumper, but no door frame to attach it to (which is just as well, unsure how safe it is). Any-hoo, we used to have this thing on a free standing frame that my other little one used to jump on, but it broke and I can't forget its name. Any recommendations?
P.s we already have an exercauser, but he gets bored in it and can't "jump" up and down in it.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

So I went out and got a second-hand Jumperoo from CraigsList for $40. It is the one with the jungle motif. I could do without the obnoxious elephant trumpeting, but other than that, it is great! My DS hasn't figured yet how to totally "rock out" in it, but that will come soon, and for now he loves being in there.....thanks all! :)

Get the jumperoo on Freecycle or Craigslist. No point in buying new since they usually have a lot of life left in them.

Hi S., you can get the free standing frame for the jolly jumper too. We bought it since we don't have a doorway with cornices for the clamp (which is safe by the way) I think it was about $100 but ebay had tons of them available for pick up if you can find one near you.

My last child had something like this

I passed it on to four other babies after we were done with it. OMG she lived in this for the longest time! Every baby that used it loved it. It is also safer then the one that is hung in the doorway! Good luck

ditto on the jumperoo! they're kinda pricy so if you have a second hand store in your area, you might be able to get a good deal!

Oh my gosh the Jumperoo we bought is hands-down one of best investments EVER! We got it at Babies'rUs and its from Fisher price. There are tons of them though. His has a farm theme. Its free-standing so no doorway needed. He just loves jumping like a wild-baby in it! :) So worth the cost, in my opinion!

You're looking for a Jumperoo. Do yourself a favor and get one on Craigslist or from a consignment shop. In York, they are often priced around $20. This toy will only amuse your baby for a short while. It has a much shorter shelf life than the exersaucer. As soon as baby starts to crawl, he'll want nothing to do with either! Definitely buy used.
