There are baby bouncers, and there are activity centers -- and then, there's the Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Jumper, which combines both concepts in one fun, convenient, and economical toy. Babies ages 4 months and up, under 25 pounds, will enjoy bouncing with their legs and swiveling in their seats to play with a variety of developmentally challenging activities.

The Musical Motion Activity Jumper sports a cheerful, primary-color palette that's eye-catching and suitable for boys or girls. It stands on a base, with the infant bucket seat attached to two arches by adjustable, spring-loaded straps. When baby is placed in the seat, he can kick off the ground with his legs to bounce up and down. This provides vital exercise for a youngster's legs, helping to prepare him for walking. The six-point height adjustment lets it grow with your infant, while non-skid feet and fabric-covered springs keep baby safe.
Most bouncers stop there -- but we're delighted to find that the Activity Jumper also surrounds baby with plenty of fun, interactive toys. The bucket seat can rotate 360 degrees for baby to reach all of the activities. He'll delight in the frog spinner, bead chaser, and baby-proof mirror. The toy also includes 10 Baby Einstein links that can be repositioned and detached from the activity center for on-the-go play, or which serve as attachment points for additional toys.
A teether stalk toy helps soothe itchy gums while encouraging "reach and grab" coordination. And the light-up piano keys give baby an interactive introduction to musical creativity with two modes: the "piano notes" mode plays in piano tones, while the "melodies" mode features five classical melodies.
Help Your Little One Get Stronger
Babies love bouncing. Not only is it exciting for a baby to move himself with the power of his own legs, but it gives him satisfying, and vital, exercise that helps prepare him for standing and walking. The higher and harder that baby bounces in the Activity Jumper, the more the toys will rattle and shake -- making it even more exciting and fun. And with the added benefit of a rotating seat, which baby operates by pushing off the ground with his feet, your infant gets even more leg coordination practice in a safe, secure place. We especially enjoy the versatility of this 2-for-1 toy -- and it's safer than an infant walker.
Other perks for parents: the fabric seat cover is a cinch to remove, and it's machine washable. And unlike some other bouncers, the Activity Jumper folds down flat for much easier storage. While it's erected, however, it takes up a bit of room. And because your baby won't be able to use this toy once he's able to stand and walk unassisted, it has a limited-use timeframe.

Baby Products Reviews of Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Jumper, Green
Customer Review: our son absolutely loves it. It does have a few drawbacks early on
Summary: 4 Stars
Our son first HATED this thing. We put him in his aunts excersaucer, and he loved that. The problem was at the 3-4 month stage, the bouncer was too big in the seat and he wobbled too much. The bouncer springs made him feel unstable and insecure.
BUT.. after about 4 months he took a liking to it. At first I forgot to install the wheels to help the seat turn, so he hated it. I had put them aside thinking i will do it later (busy dad, ran out of time), forgot. Moved. Wife came by with a "what are these??" .. installed them instantly, put him in, and he could now easily turn.
He absolutely loves it. He will play by himself in it, or interacting with us for 30 minutes to an hour. He gets so crazy with the jumping on this thing. He is now 6 months and still loves it. He sounds like hes running when hes jumping (alternating feet like hes working out). He loves the toys, especially when we hang up his favorite toys.
Now.. on to the downsides of this:
1: 1 of the piano keys is broken or sticks and cant be pressed by an infant.. which is a bummer, its the Blue key, and it seems blue and green have the LEAST annoying songs. Whereas red (the most often pressed on) has the most annoying :)
2: the toy plate had 1 toy (the green clacking turn thing) that is just too hard for a little one to spin. Our niece commented on how it was stuck, and shes 4.
3) the Sun is too hard. Too many times he pulls the sun forward to chew on, then bounces and hits himself in the eye. Next time I see, it, its coming off
4) Seat is large, and leg holes are spread apart. Sometimes hard to get the child in (especially when theyre grabbing at toys while you struggle with their kicking and excited feet).
Positives:
1) Its heavy and large. I have caught myself using it as a footrest, and it doesnt even look like its under load. I bet this frame could support 100 lbs. I wouldnt try it, but good to know it can grow with a 30lb baby.
2) Extremely adjustable - aside from the seat - you can move it up on 5 settings. Better than some of the other brands with only 3 or so settings. Plus unlike some excersaucers, the springs adjust with height. Meaning, if youre on 1, the springs are loose. So a lighter/smaller child can enjoy it. If youre on 5, the springs are more tight, so a larger child gets same enjoyment out of it. Unlike others where theres merely a height setting, but 1 weight setting.
3) Numerous spots to hang toys. You can get the little rings and hang your childs favorite toys. And then alternate them to keep it fun and exciting.
4) the frog toy/mirror combo is great. He loves to use this as a handlebar and get some air, and then peek at himself in the mirror.
5) music is not overly loud, and actually has long versions of classical songs. A few i love, and its a treat when he plays them ;) There are 8 different songs, with 3 versions of each song in different tones. Plus theres a piano mode, however usually the blue key seems to not respond as easy as it should..
6) Small details like beveled/raised images. As your baby starts to be able to discover things like that, the small things like that will help bring a new developmental stage. Now our son likes to play with the little einstein beveled logo and studies how it feels on his fingers.
7) Great livingroom clothesline for trying off burp cloths and bibs :)
...It does fold up, but its solid and massive. It does look like something that is built to last for a few children. Our little man absolutely loves it, but remember, they will hate it while they get used to the lack of stability (and it wiggles). Stick with it, few minutes here and there. Then sooner or later you with here the pitter patter of them jumping.
Richard Simmons would be proud at the amount of workout they get with this.
and yes, had eveyrthing worked, it wouldve got 4 stars. Regardless, I would buy this for anyone i know even if i knew there would be a few bugs with the toys.
