today I'm gonna talk you through the
Baby Einstein jumper this particular
model is the neighborhood Symphony
activity jumper and retails around about
200 to 300 Australian dollars depending
on where you buy it I will include some
retailer options in the description box
below and I will also give my overall
rating for this product at the end of
this video so make sure you stick around

printer for all things motherhood and
lifestyle first let's go over some of
the features for this particular model
then I will go through some of the pros
and cons that I have found after having
it for 8 months the first toy is this
musical cylinder so this particular toy
doesn't need batteries your baby can
just swipe their hand over it to turn
the wheel and it will make some musical
sounds next to that we have the little
guitar toy this is very simple it's just
a plastic ball with even tinier plastic
balls inside and it just spins around
when your baby hits it next to that is
this little caterpillar with a
multicolored disks around it and next to
that is probably the most interesting
toy on this whole activity jumper and
that is the musical bongo drums so there
are a few different adjustments that you
can make with these bongo drums you can
obviously turn the sound off or turn it
back on you can also adjust the volume
to a lower or a higher volume it also
has the option to change from music or
talking this particular toy it does
require additional batteries and the
last attached toy on the main body of
the activity center is this little bird
that spins around and the tail has a
little beads inside these two little
extra toys that hang down are easily
removable just with this little velcro
strap although having said
by the time your baby is 6 to 8 months
old they are probably tall enough and
strong enough to take the toys off
themselves I know my baby literally
loves doing this she just loves taking
off the toys and throwing them across
the room the little yellow parts that
you see here these aren't toys or
buttons or anything they're actually
just additional hooks or holes that you
can attach more toys if you want to a
few extra things to note about the seat
in the middle can be easily removed and
thrown in the wash if you get it dirty
at all so that is obviously a huge bonus
and also the three legs that hold up the
structure of this activity center do
have adjustments to adjust the height to
four different levels this is
particularly helpful as your baby gets
taller it's also important to note that
the ideal height that is recommended for
these activity centers is that your baby
it doesn't have their feet off the
ground when seated in it and also
doesn't have their feet completely flat
on the ground either you want to find a
happy medium basically just where their
toes can reach the ground so that for
example is why the height adjustments
really come in handy before I get into
the rest of the review please take a
moment to like this video if you are
enjoying it so far and please comment
below any other products that you would
like to see me review this particular
model does recommend that it is for six
months and over but for us we actually
ended up using it from four months
onwards and that is really a judgment
call for a parent my baby in particular
really took well to tummy time so her
neck strength developed very very
quickly so she was able to sit herself
up and by four months she was already
trying to crawl so I knew that she would
be safe in this activity center the key
is basically just to make sure your baby
isn't slumping over and just to note
that the best thing that you can do for
your baby right now is to encourage
daily tummy time to increase that neck
strength and the little sidenote of a
con for this product is that it was
quite time-consuming to actually put it
all together there are a lot
parts and it required a little bit of
like elbow grease and sometimes like my
whole body of white pushing into click
those toys into the activity center they
definitely ensure that your baby can't
get them out but they do definitely
require some strength to click in the
first place okay so now for my overall
star rating and whether I think it's
worth your money
first let's break down the pros and cons
this product is quite expensive and from
my experience it doesn't actually
entertain a baby for that long if your
baby is anything like mine they will
want to get out and explore sooner
rather than later
the second con is that my baby for
example outgrew the recommended height
for this activity center very very
quickly I think that this model would
benefit greatly from having more height
adjustment options that way you can use
it longer especially given the price tag
having said that my baby girl is 12
months old now and she still plays with
the toys on the outside whenever she's
just walking around the room it is also
a very useful short-term option if you
have to do something urgently and you
just need to put your baby down
somewhere safely for a short period of
time while you get that task done
quality wise I can't fault it it is very
very well made and if you are going to
invest in something like this you can at
least rest easy that it will stand the
test of time especially if you want to
have more babies it will last
hopefully the length of that and because
it is quite well made you should be able
to sell it second hand once you're done
with it cost wise I do think it's pretty
overpriced if you're buying it from the
larger baby stores but I did find a much
cheaper option online which is what I
will link in the description box below
this is on the higher end of activity
jumpers but in my opinion it is very
well-made it is high quality and if it
fits into your budget then I do think
it's worth it overall I would give this
product a four out of five i deducted
one point simply because i think that it
needs more
right adjustment options for taller
babies so they can be kept at the
recommended level off the floor don't
