Setting Up the Boor Bouncer
To this clamp are attached the straps and the all important seat of the baby door bouncer. When
you are setting the bouncer up for your infant you need to make sure that their feet can touch the ground without
them having to stretch to reach it. This is very important as the whole idea is for your baby to be able to jump up
and down without getting hurt.
The seat of your baby door bouncer needs to be made out of an easily washable material just for
those times when the little one makes a mess in it.
It should also be designed so that your baby is well supported both in their back and neck and
should only be used after they have reached 3 months of age and are able to hold their own head up.
Once your baby reaches 11.3 kg (25lbs) or a height of 81cm (32 in.) you should stop using it for
their safety.
Many of the baby door bouncers on the market today also come with extra features
such as a bar with toys suspended from it to keep your baby amused. Some newer models even have
special lights that flash every time your baby jumps as a way to encourage them to start using
the bouncer and getting their "exercise".
Baby door bouncers are a great way to give mum a break and for the little one to get a little exercise and learn
to use his leg muscles which will help to strengthen them in preparation for learning to crawl and eventually to
walk. One word of caution you should never leave your infant unattended in a door bouncer and they should only
spend 20 minutes at a time in it to make sure they do not get injured.
