I'm really happy with this baby jumper. It's well made and well designed, and it's very easy to put it up in the doorframe and take it down. It hangs securely and bounces smoothly. It's also very easy to adjust the height up and down. As long as you have a door with the right frame width and amount of molding, this jumper is just great.
I did remove the little plastic clips with the toys that came attached to the front straps. Other reviews have commented that these clips can wear on the strap, causing it to break eventually, and I did see how this could easily happen. These plastic clips are made to be adjusted up and down the strap, and they are tightly fitted to it, but this continual friction against the straps as the baby bounces could easily wear them thin. I used a pair of sharp pliers to break through the rubbery yellow plastic straps and removed them without damaging the straps at all.
While assembling the jumper, which just involves fitting the cloth seat to the jumper tray, I also found that it was much easier to use a pair of narrow nosed pliers to pull the fabric through the small slots it goes into, and get the O-rings in the fabric in place over the plastic slots they fit onto. Trying to do this by hand was a pain, but the pliers made it simple.
I attached a photo of the jumper hanging from my doorframe. I will only use this in a certain door, which is a double-wide door at 48 inches (4 feet) wide. The molding around the door is 3 inches, plus another half inch for the inner part of the door frame. I'm fortunate to have this perfect door for the jumper in my house, and I don't have to worry about the baby swinging too wide and hitting the sides of the door. I don't know that I'd be comfortable using the jumper in a standard size doorway, which in my house is 30 inches (2.5 feet). The sides of the jumper are padded all around to help prevent squished fingers, and the tray does extend a good distance from the seat on all sides to help prevent bumping the baby's head. This does make the jumper a safer choice than most, but I would not have bought this if I didn't have an extra-wide door to place it in. In my opinion, these are for wider doors and hallways.
I love this jumper and I'm very pleased with it. This was a great buy.
