7 best baby jumpers for 2025 to keep your little one entertained

We don’t recommend baby walkers with wheels. These are a leading cause of baby injuries. A baby on wheels can get into trouble fast. For instance, they could yank the edge of a tablecloth and knock everything on the table onto their head. They can also quickly get to stairs, or a fireplace — you get the idea.

Baby jumpers, such as the Jumperoo, are safer, but parental supervision is important. You should also take note of the following.

✔️ Make sure the jumper is in an open, level space. It will be safest if you keep it within your eyesight, and your baby will be happiest if they can see you too.

✔️ Don’t use a jumper until your baby has strong neck control, often around the six-month mark. Some jumpers are marked as safe from four months as long as your baby can hold their head up well. More on that below.

✔️ If your baby falls asleep in the jumper, move them immediately to a safe sleeping space.

✔️ Jumping will not help your baby learn to walk. In fact, too much time in a jumper could be detrimental. A baby’s motor development is best supported by playing on a mat on the floor, where they can practise tummy time, rolling and sitting.

✔️ Your baby should not be left in a baby jumper for more than about 20 minutes a day. Time spent on the floor in a safe environment exploring freely and playing is more conducive to your baby’s motor, sensory and cognitive development.
