For those who have tried and used these things what did you think of them? I was given on from a friend the other day (I won't disclose the brand) but the design was poor. I had my son in it for a few minutes and he ended up with a graze on the side of the neck because of where the strap was. He also was able to bend from the waste and almost topple out. For all those that want to post things like where were you etc He was constantly in my sight and only a few feet away. Let me know your experiences

How old is your child? They have to be a certain age to use a jolly jumper otherwise you get the problem of them bending over if they can't hold their own body weight up. I used one with all three of my older children (and am planning to use one with my baby when she gets older) and I never had a problem with them.

He is almost one. I think it was a fault in the brand. Thanks for the reply

The first one my children had was onre that hangs in a doorway YUck I had the same problem and it was very hard to get get him out. So we bought him a bounce a roo. Which is a seat like a walker would have but it is connected to covered spings that hang in a metal frame like for a baby swing. It is comletely collapsable when you want to put it up and you can change the height setting as he grows. Highly reccomend it.
