We have a Jolly Jumper that used to belong to Little Miss and has since been passed down to Usurper, who had her first go at it today.
I had forgotten just how demented a baby looks as it bounces around in an inverted bungy jump type arrangement, a huge grin on their faces and gurgling noises emanating from deep within them.
The only issue I have with them is that they won’t support the weight of a daddy like me, and a jolly jumper can be quite a temptation to resist. Particularly after a couple of beers in the summer sun.
Maybe I should build one for myself out of old rubber bands, inner tubes and some coat hangers - I’m sure it couldn’t be that hard…..

Hey, In Malaysia we have something like that which I have been mentioning as my boys’ hammoc swing. The hanger holds a hammoc which the boys could sleep in as well as sit or, of late, do spinning stunts in.
(Will post a video on that once I can get Daddy to catch it on camera)
We have a hammock as well for the baby, but so far it is only for sleeping in - and to be honest both Usurper and Little Miss have been more inclined to sleep in the bassinet than the hammock.
I do kind of wish I had a giant hammock in my office though - I could do with shutting the door and having a bit of a nap right now.
