Which jumperoo?

I'm thinking of buying a jumperoo but am wondering which type. There's a rainforest one and a luv u zoo one. Is one newer than the other/better than the other?

We have the ocean wonders one, and to be honest I think they're all pretty much the same. It's just the theme that varies. They all have a roller toy, dangly toys to reach up to, musical part, mirror and a teether. The only reason we picked the ocean one was price. It was £80 compared to £95 for the rainforest version. The luv u zoo one is the newest version out I think.

We have rainforest but chose it because of price rather than anything else. I think it's the bouncing element my son loves rather than the attachments!! We got ours from a site via Amazon for £70. Well worth the money!

Thanks - I bought the rainforest one as it seemed to be the most widely available...it wasn't a resounding success....Sad

I'm hoping the tears will turn into laughs soon though as the reviews I've read indicate it's the best toy ever - it'd want to be at that price!

And this, from someone who said they weren't going to buy lots of plastic stuff - surely the biggest, most obtrusive toy on the market! Grin

I'd say ours has definitely been worth it. So handy to pop them into, gives you 5 minutes peace to have a cuppa and choccy biscuit run round with the Hoover :)

Just to say jumperoo is a great toy - and we had the rain forest one - but there are loads on ebay and other 2nd hand boards - and because a baby only uses it for a few months they are in good condition - and also easey to resell once your baby has finished with it - I bought mind for about 30 pounds and sold it for slightly more

Don't worry it took a few goes for my son to like it!! I think he was about four months old when we first tried him in it. He's six months now, and when he's bouncing on my knee we know it's Jumperoo time!!
