Little Einstein Jumper
3 month old christmas?
I was trying to figure out about how much parents spend on there infants during their first christmas. I am currently out of work and a single parent so I dont have much to spend. But, I was wondering what the average for someone that young is. She has plenty of clothes so I’de be buying her toys and dvds. She love’s the baby einstein toys I got her their set of 24 dvds on ebey for about 50 bucks and a jumper for around 90. Plus some small little gifts like teethers and light up toys. All in all I probably spent 350 (which has mostly been charged). But, do yall think that is about right?
The first christmas you don’t spend much because 1) they can’t do much and don’t have a clue what’s going on and 2) You’ll learn quickly that each Christmas gets more and more expensive and more difficult to purchase. Enjoy it now!!
Einstein Baby Jumper – Great Way How To Entertain Your Baby
Einstein Baby Jumper is a surefire way how to entertain your baby. Feeling exhausted? Wish to find some safe and fun place for your baby? Then a baby activity jumper is right for your baby. Babies ages 4 months and up, under 25 pounds, enjoy bouncing with their legs and swiveling in their seats to play with a variety of developmentally challenging activities.
My sons loves this! We got this when he was 5 months old, and could not be happier with it. Keeps him occupied, and every second that I can get something else done is a blessing!
1. Toys and activity center
The toys seem age appropriate and stimulating. When you put your baby in the activity center, he / she will laughs and acts like he does not know which toy to visit first.
There are toy bars that arch over the baby’s seat. 10 links are included so that you can attach additional toys to the links. This is my favorite feature, because it keeps the activity center “fresh.” If your baby becomes bored with a toy, you can attach a new toy to the link. This has also encouraged our baby to develop better hand-eye coordination as he tries to reach, grasp, and explore the hanging toys.
2. Music
I like the music. The musical selections are classical and they all play for a decent amount of time.
3. Sturdy and durable
The Musical Motion Activity center folds up easily for storage & portability. It does not fold completely flat, but it is nice that it at least folds up a bit so that it can fit in a closet and through doorways.
Overall, the activity center feels sturdy and seems to be made of durable materials.
The activity center is heavy, which is good because it is also sturdy.
The springs on the Einstein Center are not as bouncy as the springs on the Jumperoo. Our son really gets moving in the Jumperoo. He definitely jumps in the Baby Einstein…just not quite as much. He seems to enjoy the Baby Einstein more for the toys than the jumping or motion.
In Conclusion
Einstein Baby Jumper verses Fisher Price Jumper
Einstein Baby Jumper retails for $84 (Amazon). The Fisher Price Jumperoo retails for $83 (Amazon). The fact that the seat rotates to four stations and the overhead arches allow us to add toys makes the Einstein Baby Jumper seem more interesting and engaging.
However, if you are really most interested in a jumper (and not so concerned about having an activity center), I would definitely go with the Fisher Price Jumper due to the bouncier springs. Our son seems to really enjoy both, so I think a little one would have lots of fun in either center.
But, if I had to select one or the other, we would select the Baby Einstein product because it combines the best of both worlds.
Our son is now 17 months old. He is very small for his age, so he still fits comfortably in his Baby Einstein Musical Motion Activity Center. He is moving around on his own now, so we only place him in the Baby Einstein center when he is watching a Baby Einstein movie and we need to get some chores completed, prepare dinner, etc.
Around 8-9 months old, the piano station became his favorite feature.
Around 10-11 months old, our son became really active and did not want to be confined in an activity center anymore, so he stopped enjoying the Baby Einstein (unless he is watching a movie, of course).
Overall, our son got a lot of use from the Einstein Baby Jumper from 4 months-11 months, and we still use it as a safe “seat” during movies, so we feel that it is a great toy.
