Remember those baby bouncers that hung on door frames,is there a modern equivalent?

My ds loves jumping but he is getting too heavy for me to hold for very long. Just wondered if there was a safer version on the market.

I thought that the bouncy things that hung from dooor frames WHERE the modern equivalent
iykwim

Woolworths do this Lindam one, as do Argos and Tesco

i have one ! DD was bouncing in it about 8 months ago !

Thanks I thought that they had been banned. Next problem my house is open plan, so my only door frame is in the toilet.

are you thinking of baby walkers? there have been issues with those re safety..those ones with wheels you sit them in?

ah, you also get this
hop n pop dd2 loves it.

and this

jumperoo

hth

Thanks they look great, I think ds is too little yet but the time he is old enough he will probably be too heavy as he is a big bruiser.

You used to be able to hang the "old fashioned" (lol) ones from the ceiling, as long as you could find a joist to screw a sodding great hook into, and had a nice long adjustable chain.

I don't know if the modern ones have a chain?

I always thought they were modern too.

Baby-walkers a big no-no though. Dangerous apparantly - the wheels go too fast for little legs to keep up, leading to disaster scenarios.

Not that modern, my mum had one for me 40 years ago! It was the same design as the Mothercare one I had for my dcs (sling that poppers round baby attached to bar, in turn attached to doorframe by big sprung clamp) but was a lot more heavy-duty. I suppose the modern materials mean they can be made lighter yet still be strong. And no, it wasn't because I was a lardy baby, I was actually very petite!

lucy5 you can get one that has a frame I think its made by tippitoes

Aren't they supposed to be bad because they make babies use tiptoes rather than putting their feet flat?

they have a winnie tyhe pooh one in argos, both of my children loved these and not done them any harm

We have the Lindam one, ds loves it.
