Let baby jumpers be fun instead of dangerous
Young children have been injured from baby jumpers when they were not used as intended. A baby jumper is a seat that, is hung from the top of a doorframe with a clamp and allows babies to bounce up and down. While these can be fun for a baby, they can cause injuries.
Here's how to help reduce the risk to your child:
Choose the right jumper
Make sure the jumper is appropriate for your baby's height, weight and age. It's important to follow the instructions. If you bought or borrowed a second hand jumper, make sure the jumper has all its parts.
Set up the jumper correctly
Injuries have occurred when baby jumpers are not installed properly. Check the instruction booklet for doorways that can support the jumper. Before you place your baby in the jumper, check that the clamps and straps are secured. Use the baby jumper as intended in the instructions.
Supervise your baby at all times
Do not leave your baby unattended while in the jumper. Limit your baby's jumping time to 10-15 minutes.
For more information on baby jumpers or to see if the product has been recalled, visit Consumer Product Safety, Health Canada or call 1 866-662-0666.
