This manual provides essential information for the safe and proper assembly, operation, and maintenance of your Jolly Jumper Classic with Stand.
2. Important Safety Warnings

4. Operating Instructions
To ensure your baby's comfort and safety during use, follow these operating guidelines:
- Placing Baby in the Jumper:
- Lay your baby down and carefully place them into the saddle seat.
- Secure the overlapping bib with snaps for extra security.
- Fasten the buckled latch and the safety velcro belt to ensure a snug and appropriate fit.
- Ensure the saddle firmly supports your baby's spine, promoting correct upright posture.
- Adjusting Height:
- Adjust the chain length so that your baby's toes touch the ground, but their heels do not. This allows for proper jumping motion and prevents strain.
- The adjustable height feature allows the jumper to grow with your baby.
- Supervision: Always supervise your child while they are in the Jolly Jumper. This product is not a substitute for adult supervision.
- Movement: The spring-loaded motion allows your baby to jump freely, aiding in muscle development and coordination. The freestanding design allows for movement in all directions (front-to-back, side-to-side).

5. Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safety of your Jolly Jumper:
- Cleaning the Saddle Seat: The fabric saddle seat is washable. Before washing, ensure all velcro strips are attached to prevent snagging. Follow the care instructions on the product label for best results.
- Cleaning the Frame: Wipe down the steel frame with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all parts, including the frame connections, spring, chain, and saddle seat, for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Discontinue use if any damage is found and contact customer support.
- Storage: The steel stand folds flat for compact storage and portability. To fold, unscrew the bolts on the side legs and collapse the frame. Store in a dry place away from extreme temperatures.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Jumper feels unstable or wobbly. | Frame not fully assembled or connections are loose. | Ensure all frame pieces are securely screwed together and the stand is fully extended and locked into place. |
| Baby's feet are not positioned correctly (e.g., flat-footed or dangling). | Incorrect chain length adjustment. | Adjust the chain length so that only your baby's toes touch the ground, with heels slightly off. Refer to the "Operating Instructions" section. |
| Difficulty placing or removing baby from the saddle. | Initial unfamiliarity with the harness system. | Practice placing and removing your baby. It may be easier with two people initially. Ensure all straps and buckles are properly loosened before attempting to remove the baby. |
| Baby is not engaging with the jumper. | Baby may be too young (lacks head control) or too old (approaching walking age/weight limit). | Ensure your baby meets the minimum age requirement (approx. 3 months with unassisted head control) and is within the weight limit (up to 28 lbs). Some babies may take time to adjust. |
