The Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo (not be confused with the “Roarin’ Rainforest” Jumperoo) is a free-standing jumper combined with a table full of interactive toys for the baby designed to promote sensory stimulation and discovery play.

The Rainforest Jumperoo as the name suggest is “rainforest” themed and is quite distinguishable with its “bright red baby seat cover” featuring a frog and surrounded by an off white table base filled with a range of brightly coloured interactive toys together with lights and sounds to keep your baby occupied.

The Rainforest Jumper is just one out of the many high spec fun filled baby activity jumpers marketed under the brand name “Fisher-Price“, by a well known American company called “Mattel” with a reputation for producing educational toys for infants, toddlers and pre-schoolers.

Electronic Hub

One of the main toys on the interactive table is an electronic component that controls the music, lights and sounds reward every time the baby jumps. The built in lights, music and other forest like sounds are activated by the movement of the baby.

Bright colors, lights, and a variety of sounds and textures help stimulate your baby’s visual, auditory, and tactile senses

Attached to the electronic unit also, are three main rainforest animal character toys (Elephant, Parrot and a Monkey) that the baby can pull upon and bat away together with a rolling drum that also activates the lights and sounds.

The movement activated lights helps your baby discover the fun of “cause and effect” as they figure out how to activate the lights, music, and sounds by jumping or interacting with the toys thus encouraging your baby to take action (by jumping or touching the toys) in order to hear the sounds or see the light. (You will need 3 x AA batteries which are not included).

The electronic hub also has a volume control and on/off switch to control and turn on the lights and sounds off when not needed.

Jumper & Seat

The Rainforest Jumperoo features a safe, sturdy, free standing steel frame that lets your baby jump independently and safely.

While some jumpers require a doorway ( baby door jumpers ), the Rainforest Jumperoo stands on its own and as a result, the design of the Rainforest Jumperoo is slightly bulky and wide.

Once assembled, the Rainforest Jumperoo is 37 inches tall and 32 inches wide in each direction, weighing 18 pounds. The weight is a necessary safety feature as when a baby jumps, the metal springs stretch and contract, which would be unsafe without the weighted base.

The good thing about the Rainforest Jumperoo being free standing means that the jumper can be sited anywhere as there is no need for a doorway as required by baby door jumpers. The Jumperoo springs are also covered in fabric to prevent pinched fingers.

The cushioned seat design of the jumperoo is similar to a bucket swing with leg holes and a supported back. Your baby can be lowered down into the adjustable seat, which has three height positions to accommodate a growing infant. This seat appears to be comfortable for both sitting and bouncing. 

Rainforest Jumper Seat
The Rainforest Jumper seat is padded

The jumper seat has a 360-degree design, which means the baby can play with the toys on each side. However, it’s unlikely that a child will be able to turn the seat on their own at the initial stages to access the toys on the other sides.

As your baby grows though, s/he will be able to comfortably turn around to access all the toys on the table surrounding the seat.


Build Quality

The Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumper is quite steady and designed to keep the baby safe in its enclosure. The jumper is held together by a safe, sturdy, free-standing steel frame that lets your baby jump safely. It does appear much safer than doorway jumper type.

It is pretty easy to set up as there are no kind of screws or anything. It is literally a case of slotting in the poles. Everything that you do need to assemble the jumperoo is included except for a screwdriver and three double A batteries to put into the electronic component.

The base unit itself, even though it’s easy to put together is pretty rigid and strong when assembled so that it copes with lively bouncing babies.

The toys are plastic but non of the parts appear to be parts that are of nature that can cause chocking harm to your baby


Ease Of Use

The Fisherprice Rainforest jumperoo is quite easy to use once assembled. All you do is pop the baby in the seat. The baby’s jumping activates the flashing lights, sounds and music! Roll the drum on the electronic unit to hear different tunes or the sound of the forest


Ease Of Assembly

The Jumperoo is very easy to assemble straight out of the box as no tools are required. It comes with an easy to follow instruction.

The jumper poles are simply fitted to the base with clips that snap into place. You only need a screwdriver to open the electronic component to fit 3 AA batteries (which are not included).


Size & Portability

The design of the Rainforest Jumperoo is slightly bulky and wide; Weighing 18 pounds, the system is 37 inches tall and 32 inches wide in each direction. The weight is a necessary safety feature—when a baby jumps, the metal springs stretch and contract, which would be unsafe without the weighted base. The Jumperoo springs are also covered in fabric to prevent pinched fingers.

You will need to collapse the Rainforest Jumper to move it from room to room as once built it will not fit through a door. Although it folds up for moving and storage, this position is not particularly compact.


Cleaning & Maintenance

Made primarily from plastic and metal, the Rainforest Jumperoo is easy to clean. A damp cloth or disinfectant wipe can be used for a quick once-over to get rid of germs and sticky residue left from tiny fingers.

The seat comes with a polyester cloth cover, which is easy to remove. It’s machine-washable and approved for drying in a standard dryer. 


Storage

The base tube of The Rainforest Jumper collapses easily so that you can fold it in almost on itself for temporary storage when it is not in use. All you need to do is pop out the legs.

If you are expecting this to fold down flat you will be disappointed. It doesn’t, in fact it hardly folds at all, still taking up quite a lot of floor space.

The Rainforest Jumperoo is a big activity toy and does take up considerable space even when you fold it, so if you do have a small apartment you might need to consider an alternative activity toy.

A smaller version of the Fisherprice Rainforest jumperoo does exist called the Fisher Price Rainforest Space Saver for those who don’t have the space in the living room

The Bad Bits

There have not been a lot of complaints In terms of the issues people have with the product. The biggest negative with the Rainforest Jumperoo is that it requires a bit of space. Although the product folds up into a “nesting” position for moving and storage, this folded position is not particularly compact

It takes up far too much room. We have a very large lounge but it is still very intrusive. It is also too big to fit through doorways and has to be partly disassembled to take into the kitchen with me.

Good but very large! Bought this few weeks ago & my 5 month old lo moves bouncing in it however there are limitations to it. It’s so large I have to leave it in one place as it doesn’t fit through the doorway unless u take the time to collapse it down & set up again in another room. I would like to be able to move it around rooms depending on where I’m doing things but just not possible. Would be great it a tad smaller. Plus it’s pricy for what it actually is.

The Good Bits

A few comments such as

Excellent product, my little boy loves it, the smiles we got on day one made this worth every penny! Very easy to assemble (even for me!), feels like it will last well, and the sounds aren’t very annoying (but helps that there’s an off switch too)
He absolutely loved it and I can now see why 2000 plus customers have given this product such good reviews. It serves as great active time, and is quite steady and designed to keep the baby safe in its enclosure. I recommend this any day of the week for babies ready to stay on their feet and this is much safer than those that hang off door frames.
I was in two minds in getting it because of the price but it taught me a lesson, my little one is 6 months old and he absolutely loves it and in return leaves me hands free to have a hot cuppa whilst observing him, so I totally recommend it to anyone!

Buying Rainforest Jumperoo

Buying The Fisherprice Rainforest Jumperoo
Fisherprice Rainforest Jumperoo

Fisherprice Rainforest Jumperoo

The Fisherprice Rainforest Jumperoo retails for around £100 which sits right in the middle of the price range for baby jumpers.

Whilst the Rainforest Jumperoo is not particularly cheap, the secure design and entertainment aspects of the jumperoo make it well worth its price tag. It’s a great choice for a baby shower gift, too!.

It might seem like a lot of money for a baby’s toy, but you get a lot of bang for your buck. It provides lots of different activities for the baby to play with, so it’s perfect for them but could get extremely annoying for parents after a while.

It is possible sometimes to get the Fisherprice Rainforest Jumperoo on sale for a little less. Another option to consider is to pick up a second hand one that has been well looked after.
