Step-by-Step Guide Setting Up Your Jolly Jumper

The Jolly Jumper is a trusted and fun way to help your baby develop balance, coordination, and muscle strength. Whether you’re using the door frame model with door clamps or the free-standing version, this guide will walk you through the setup process, ensuring you follow safety standards and recommended limits for safe bouncing.

Step 1: Unboxing and Checking the Parts

Before you begin, check that your Jolly Jumper includes all essential components:

✅ Jolly Jumper saddle– New and improved
✅ Spring & Chain – For a gentle, controlled bounce
✅ Spreader Bar - For attachment between the Spring and Saddle
✅ Door Clamps (for doorway model) – Safely secures the Jumper to a door frame
✅ Metal Stand (if applicable) – Provides a free-standing option

Ensure all parts are in perfect condition before installation.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Location

• For the Door Frame Model:
• Ensure the frame is at least 2cm wide for a secure fit.
• Avoid glass doorways, sliding doors, or hollow structures.
• For the Stand Model:
• Place it on flat, non-slip flooring.
• Keep at least 1 metre of clearance around the jumper for safe movement.
• Ensure the area is free from sharp furniture edges or obstacles.

Step 3: Installing the Jolly Jumper (Door Frame Model)

• Secure the Door Clamp:

• • Position the door clamp at the centre of the doorway, ensuring it is flush and secure.
  • Hook the door clamp over the top of the door frame and check that it does not wobble.

• Attach the Spring, Spreader Bar & Harness:

• • Clip the spring & chain onto the clamp securely.
  • Attach the spreader bar to the bottom end of the chain.
  • Clip the top of the saddle straps to both ends of the spreader bar using the swivel snaps.
  • Ensure both snaps are fully closed and the saddle hangs evenly.
  • Gently tug to confirm everything is secure before placing the baby inside.

Step 4: Setting Up the Stand Model

• Assemble the Metal Stand:

• • Place the crossbar resting plate onto the crossbar that has the hook, making sure the groove on the bottom of the plate aligns with the bar underneath. 
  • Position the second crossbar perpendicular on top of the resting plate and secure it in place.
  • Secure both crossbars using the Top Knob – screw it in firmly.
  • Screw the mid legs into the crossbar assembly.
  • Screw the base legs into the bottom of each mid leg to form the full stand.
  • Ensure all connections are tight and that the stand is stable and level.

• Attach the Spring, Spreader Bar & Harness:

• • Hang the spring and chain from the hook on the crossbar.
  • Attach the spreader bar to the end of the spring.
  • Secure the saddle to the spreader bar as described in Step 3.

Step 5: Placing Your Baby in the Jolly Jumper

• Putting Your Baby in the Saddle Properly:

• • Lay the saddle flat with buckles facing down.
  • Clip the top straps to the spreader bar.
  • Place the baby on the saddle so the wing flaps center on the baby’s navel.
  • Bring the lower strap up between the baby's legs to their tummy.
  • Pull the right-side flap over the tummy, then the left flap over the right, fastening them snugly with Velcro.
  • Ensure the waistband is tight to support the baby’s back and keep them upright.
  • Fold the middle seat flap down over the secured flaps.
  • Connect the safety buckle and make sure it’s fastened.

• Final Check:

• • Lift the baby gently by the spreader bar and hook it to the spring.
  • Adjust the height using the chain: baby’s toes should just touch the floor.
  • If the baby leans forward, lower the crotch strap slightly to adjust their center of gravity.

Step 6: Following Safety Standards & Recommended Limits

✔ Never leave your baby unattended while in the Jolly Jumper.
✔ Use only if your baby can hold their head up independently (typically 3+ months old).
✔ Limit bouncing sessions to a maximum of 15 - 20 minutes to prevent muscle fatigue.
✔ Always ensure the door clamps or stand is secure before placing your baby in the jumper.
✔ Regularly inspect all parts (straps, clips, and springs) for signs of wear or damage.
