Summary Overview
The Bright Starts Disney Baby Minnie Mouse Activity jumper is one of the best selling activity jumpers on the market for parents with a baby girl. It can be described as a free-standing enclosed jumper combined with a table of activity toys designed to promote sensory stimulation and discovery play.
The Bright Starts Minnie Mouse Peekaboo Activity Jumper is just one out of the many baby activity jumpers marketed under the brand name “Bright Starts“, by a well known American infant and toddler toy and product manufacturer based in Atlanta, Georgia. called “Kids II”
Like all of the major brands, there are several makes of activity jumpers under the Bright Starts brand name too. They are all similar in function (which is to keep the baby entertained) but with different themes and featured activity toys, each clearly targeted at specific markets in terms of colour, theme and size.
The activity jumper is themed on the classic Disney cartoon character “Minnie Mouse” created by The Walt Disney Company and targeted clearly at parents with a baby girl. It is very girlie, pink, flowery and comes with lights, melodies and even some interactive toys that will help keep your baby entertained.
Whilst the Bright Starts Minnie Mouse Peekaboo Activity Jumper is clearly adorable and themed on one of the most iconic Disney characters “Minnie Mouse”, it does fall short of expectations in a number of areas which you will discover as you read our full review below.
For example, the manufacturer’s claim that the “Minnie Mouse” activity jumper comes with 12 activities does fall well short of expectations in terms of the type and quality of the toys included.
Also, the Bright Starts Minnie Mouse Peekaboo Activity jumper’s retail price of between £85 – £100, can only be related to the iconic status of the character name “Minnie Mouse” and the brand name “Disney” in our opinion.
Not withstanding the issues, this activity jumper still remains a good buy especially if you are a Disney fan or if you are on the search for an activity jumper for your baby girl.

Minnie Mouse Peekaboo Activity Jumper Review
Our Verdict
Here’s how the Bright Starts Disney Baby Minnie Mouse Peekaboo Activity Jumper does using our scoring criteria
- Design & Features
This is an activity play jumper themed on the classic Disney “Minnie Mouse” and targeted clearly at parents with baby girls. It is really pink and flowery and comes with 12 interactive toys for your baby to play with. This includes a spinning ball with colourful beads, a heart shaped mirror, a Minnie Mouse bead chaser toy, as well as hanging toys for your baby to stretch and reach for; all designed to keep your baby amused. It also comes with extra toy loops where you can hang your baby’s favourite toys.
- Build Quality
The poles holding the suspended jumper seat and the circular base of the jumper are made from metal and well secured, ensuring that it can support the weight of the baby. The toys included are made of good plastic that is not harmful to the baby. The seat is padded but not as thick as those on some of the competing jumpers (such as the Fisher Price Pink Petals jumperoo). There has been some concern raised by some parents about the design of the mirror and the durability of the jumper strap.
- Ease Of Use
It is quite easy to use. All you do is put the baby in the jumper and that’s it. It does however take up a bit of space so would suit best those with a large living room space or apartment. It is not foldable so you will need to dismantle it partly to store away. It can be easily cleaned.
- User Ratings
The Bright Starts Disney Minnie Mouse Activity Jumper enjoys a high rating among Disney toy lovers with 93% of parents that bought the product giving it a rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars. A lot of parents felt that the Jumper not only was a relief for them as a parent but actually made their baby very happy.
- Value For Money
While this jumper is adorable and seems to have a lot of different activities, the toys themselves aren’t that great. The price at which the Minnie Mouse activity jumper is retailed for can only be related to the iconic status of the character name “Minnie Mouse” and the brand name “Disney”.
Bright Starts Minnie Mouse Peekaboo Activity Jumper
Suitability
This Bright Starts Minnie Mouse Peekaboo Activity Jumper is based on the Disney cartoon character “Minnie Mouse” and is clearly targeted at parents with baby girls. The important thing is that the jumperoo should only be used by a child who can hold his/her head up unassisted and who is not able to climb out of the seat.
The manufacturer recommends that the Minnie Mouse activity Jumper be used by only babies aged 6 + months up to a maximum weight of 11 kg (25 lb) and a height of less than 30 inches (76.2cm), which is to all intent and purpose, the weight of an average 1 year old. Some parents however claimed that they started to use the jumper from the age of 5 months onwards.
If you have a spacious apartment, keen on Disney Minnie Mouse products and you are looking for a toy that would keep your baby girl entertained, then this should be on your list of contenders.
Design & Features
Theme Concept & Colours
The Bright Starts Minnie Mouse activity jumper and the toys included are all themed on the classic iconic Disney brand character, “Minnie Mouse”, which has been bringing smiles to the faces of little ones (and not-so-little ones!) for nearly a century;
The fact that it is based on the popular iconic “Minnie Mouse” no doubt appeals greatly to the curiosity of babies that have already been introduced to the Disney character “Minnie Mouse”.
The Bright Starts Minnie Mouse activity jumper comes in a bright pink colour whilst the included toys are mostly pink or different shades of pink, clearly targeting parents with a baby girl.
The fact that this jumper is themed on an iconic character like “Minnie Mouse” and targeted specifically at baby girls is a wonderful option as the flowery and pink colour seems to go down well with parents as there are not a lot of pink coloured jumpers on the market catering for parents with baby girls.
Lights, Sounds & Toys
The Minnie Mouse jumper is surrounded by a table of themed toys, all of which are intended to promote sensory stimulation and discovery play and to keep the little ones amused.
The Bright Starts Minnie Mouse jumper is a beautiful looking jumper for a baby girl. It comes not only with a jumper but with sensory toys that has lights, sounds and fun ways to move and stimulate your baby’s senses.
The manufacturer does give the impression that the jumper comes with 12 activity toys, however on closer inspection, the actual number of toys seem to be only 8 toys, the jumper and 3 of the so called toys just being hoops that you are supposed to add your own baby’s favourite toys to.
While this jumper’s pink colour and iconic theme are adorable, the number of attached toys themselves aren’t that great and quality of the toys seems not to be the best, compared to some other brands.
The following is a list of the toys included
- 1 x Electronic Minnie Bow With Bead Roller
- 1 x Heart Shaped Mirror With Ring Beads
- 1 x Minnie Bead Chaser Toy
- 1 x Branch/Leaf Stalk
- 2 x Leaf Topper
- 1 x Liquid Filled Teether
- 1 x Soft Toy
- 3 x Link Loops
Below is a detailed description of some of the activity toys surrounding the jumper:
Electronic Minnie Bow With A Bead Roller
The Minnie Mouse jumper comes with an electronic Minnie Mouse shaped bow with a barrel shaped bead roller embedded in the base of the bow. It is the only electronic toy out of the toys attached and it needs 2 x AA size batteries to get it to work ( Batteries not included)
The barrel shaped roller ball is full of small coloured beads that rattle when rolled by the baby.
The electronic shaped bow is motion activated and as such, lights up, flashes and plays different tunes as your baby moves about in the jumper or when the bead roller is touched and spun around by by the baby.
The motion activated lights and sound serve to teach your baby “cause and effect”, as your baby soon learns that by touching the roller ball or jumping in the jumper the lights and sound unit is activated.
The electronic toy added does however appear pretty basic especially when compared to that of competing jumpers like that of the Bright Start Finding Nemo Jumper. It would have been good for the jumper to have one or two more interactive electronic toys that light up and sound to add variety to the toys included.
Teether & Soft Toy
Attached to the end of 2 of the 4 pole arms that support the activity jumper are 2 x leaf stalks from which a liquid filled teether and a soft toy dangles.
The teether and the soft toy are within easy reach of your baby. They are held in place with Velcro strips that can be easily removed to be used elsewhere or when there is a need to clean it.
The teether and soft toy are well received by parents as they are both detachable and the design of the activity jumper encourages the baby to stretch to reach up to grab the attached toys.
Heart Shaped Mirror With Ring Beads
A very welcome toy by a lot of parents is the pink coloured heart shaped Minnie Mouse mirror that comes with the jumper.
The mirror can be pushed to swing up and down and it does has a ring bead on each side of the mirror that the baby can also learn to move up and down the mirror arms.
Mirrors are reported to inspire babies to reach, pat, and point. When your baby is able to grasp objects, playing with a hand-held mirror supports hand and finger fine-motor skills as they hold and move the mirror to capture different views of their surroundings.
A number of reported that there is a danger that the baby can sometimes get his/her hand stuck under the mirror as the gap between the mirror and the base table is too high.
Minnie Mouse Bead Chaser Toy
Attached to the jumper table is a Minnie Mouse bead chaser toy together with a rotating Minnie Mouse head.
The rotating head can be batted away by your baby to spin around and the ring beads moved up or down.
Grabbing the ring bead and moving it along the sides of the bead chaser toy encourages your baby to use their pincer grasp, thus strengthening the small muscles of their hands and also helps build hand-eye coordination.
Leaf Stalk
Another toy attached to the activity toy table is the brightly coloured leaf stalk.
The pink leaf stalk looks attractive on the activity table and encourages the baby to want to explore the leaf stalk.
Some parents report using the bean stalk to add add more toys (like your baby’s favourite toys) to the activity table to keep play time fresh and ever-changing.
Link Loops
The Minnie Mouse jumper comes with 3 x coloured link loops. The link loops allow you to add more toys to keep play time fresh and ever-changing.
Most parents use the space to hang their baby’s own favourite toys.
The number of link loops on the jumper seems excessive and it seems Bright Starts dropped the ball here. It is felt by a lot of parents that more toys could have been added here rather than the link loops.
All in all, the Minnie Mouse activity jumper remains a good first interactive toy for babies because of the activities that encourage hand-eye coordination, sensory development, both fine and gross motor skills and teaches cause and effect.
The toys are good but we feel could have been much better if Bright Sparks would have included more activity toys, light and sound than currently fitted on the activity jumper at the moment. It seems a bit cheeky including the 3 x loop rings and counting them as part of the list of toys included.
Another issue is that of light and sound; Only the “electronic Minnie Mouse shaped bow” have any sort of sound or light attached to them. The manufacturer we feel should have made one or two more toys active with additional sound and lighting.
Below is a quick video clip showing a brief outline of all the toys when fully set up
Jumper & Seat
The Minnie Mouse jumper is compact in size, and a little bit smaller than other floor standing baby jumpers on the market such as the Bright Starts Finding Nemo Jumper.
The jumper has 4 springy arms that are supported from 4 metal post which is good as it also allows the jumper to be bouncy. There are rubber stoppers on the bottom of the jumper to make sure the jumper doesn’t slip and slide around on the floor when in use.
The Seat
The jumper seat is built to rotate through a full 360 degrees, enabling your baby to easily access all the toys and activities on the activity table surrounding the seat.
Although the seat itself gives an extra support to the neck of the baby, it would not be advisable to leave your baby unattended in the seat till your baby can hold their head up on their own for a good 10 minutes.
The seat cover of the Minnie Mouse jumper is notably pink and covered in flowery print and images of Minnie mouse. It is padded slightly to enable your baby nestle in safely.
The only criticism of the Minnie Mouse jumper seat, is that, it could do with a little more padding considering the amount paid for the jumper.
Adjustable Comfort
The Disney Minnie Mouse Jumper seat can be adjusted to suit the height of the baby. The height adjusters are located on the top of the jumper pole arms in plain view and can easily be adjusted when the baby is seated in the jumper.
The Disney Minnie Mouse Jumper seat has 4 different height adjustments that the baby can grow into. You simply pick the setting according to where your baby’s feet are.
Whilst the height adjuster is easy to adjust the height of the seat, it does seem a little too accessible to other children (compared to that of the FisherPrice Roaring Rainforest Jumperoo), which, can only be adjusted after the baby is removed from the jumper, as the height adjuster is located under the seat unit and has a bar lock.
Build Quality
The manufacturers claim the plastic used for the toys meet global phthalate, lead and BPA requirements that is not harmful to the baby.
The seat has some padding, which allows the child to nestle in safely and comfortably. it would have been good to have more padding on the seat to further protect the baby.
The poles holding the suspended jumper seat and the circular base of the jumper are made from metal and well secured, ensuring that it can support the weight of the baby.
It however does not appear to be as sturdy as that of the Fisher Price Roaring Rainforest Jumperoo as the circular base of the jumper and the metal poles holding the jumper springs appear slightly smaller than that of the Roaring Rainforest Jumperoo and does rattle at times at the connection points when the baby jumps.

Ease Of Assembly
The Minnie Mouse jumper is simple enough to set up; All you need is a screw driver and 2 x AA batteries (Batteries are sadly not included), and you are good to go.
The pack comes with instructions and there is a video below showing how easy it is to put the Minnie Mouse jumper together.
Below is a video showing a quick demonstration of how easy it is, to assemble the Minnie Mouse jumper
Size & Portability
The Bright Starts Disney Minnie Mouse jumper is compact but is still a big piece of equipment and would therefore suit best those with a large living room space or apartment. It measures 78.74 x 68.58 x 86.36 cm when it is set up which does take up a substantial area of the floor space in whatever room you set it up in.
Whilst the Disney Minnie Mouse jumper is a big toy, it is much easier to dismantle it to take away on a visit or holiday, than some competing Jumpers like the FisherPrice Roaring Rainforest Jumperoo. The jumper arms are simply unclipped and removed from the base without a need for a screwdriver.
It is not quite practicable to have to dismantle and rebuild The Minnie Mouse Jumper for everyday use at home, so If you are quite interested in this particular jumper, you are advised to consider carefully the room and the area of the room you want to physically place it before you go ahead and buy it.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The seat cover is fabric, removeable and is machine washable .. so just machine washing the fabric seat in cold water will keep it clean. Remember to use only a gentle wash cycle with no bleach. You can tumble dry, using low heat.
Some of the add-on toy items have Velcro straps, and usefully these are removable for washing too.
The plastic parts on the other hand can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry afterwards. The toys should on no occasion be immersed in water.
Storage
The Minnie Mouse Jumper does not fold or close for storage, however it can be easily dismantled to be stored away for future use, unlike some of the other jumpers on the market.
To store the jumper away, you will need to partly dismantle the jumper by unclipping and removing the 4 long arms of the jumper from the base.
If your intention is to store the jumper away for a long period, you would need a Philips screwdriver to remove the batteries from the electronic unit, which is not advisable to be left in the compartment.

So what did the users “like” or “not like” about the product?
The Bad Bits
A lot of parents seemed quite disappointed with the number of activity toys on the jumper especially when compared to other jumpers on the market.
There were also some safety concerns raised about the design of the mirror, as it sometimes traps the hands of the baby as the mirrors swings. There were also one or two incidents where parents displayed photos of the jumper straps snapping or coming apart at the seems.
The price at which the jumper is being sold is also an issue raised by a lot of parents. A lot of parents felt the number of the toys and lack of enough activities on the jumper did not warrant the price it was being retailed for.

Buying Minnie Mouse Jumper
Bright Starts Disney Minnie Mouse Peekaboo Jumper
The Bright Starts Minnie Mouse Peekaboo Jumper retails for about £100, which puts it on the expensive side when compared to other jumpers on the market for the amount of interactive toys you get on the jumper.
Although the “Minnie Mouse” character remains a very popular character, the Bright starts jumper fall short of expectations as apart from the bouncy bit, the mouse head and spinner, two dangly parts and the mouse ears at the back with the plastic spinners that’s it… there are 4 or 5 loop holes which we feel is a missed opportunity to add sensory accessories.
It is possible sometimes to get the Bright Starts Minnie Mouse Jumper on sale for a little less. Another option to consider is to pick up a second hand one that has been well looked after.

Final Thoughts
The Bright Starts Minnie Mouse jumper is a great jumper, but it could use more toys. It will perhaps only be a good addition if you or your baby girl are massive “Minnie Mouse” fans or you have other “Minnie Mouse” baby equipment in the house (such as prams, dinning set, etc ) or if you are following a pink colour scheme (such as for the baby’s room) that you want to maintain the same look for, as in the jumper.
If you are not too particular about the brand and you want a jumper with loads of toys and activities for a reasonable price, then this might not be the right jumper for your baby.
