I am above average in height for a woman (I am 5’8) and I
have back problems. When my children reach the age when they are learning to
walk, it can be quite exhausting and painful walking hunched over, trying to
assist them. Finally, with child number three, someone has come up with
something to help!
The makers of the Juppy sent me one to review, and I am so
glad they did! Sophia isn’t quite to the point where she is taking steps, but
she does love standing up and
bouncing. The Juppy makes it really easy to hold her in a position that is
comfortable for me, while being fun for her.
It was really easy using the Juppy. I had my husband hold the seat of it open, while I slid my daughter down into it, much the same as putting a child in any other walker. There was enough room to put her in it easily, while not being so loose as to be dangerous. While the fit was already perfect for us, there is also a zipper and Velcro secured buckles in the back to tighten or loosen it as necessary, which gives us plenty of growing room for the future.
The cloth is sturdy but light. My Juppy is lined with soft
pink cotton, but it also comes in blue or yellow. The same soft cotton is
repeated on the handles, making sure that your hands will not get irritated by
the strap. As we all know, once a baby gets going, they want to keep at it for
quite some time! Using the Juppy means that while you might get tired, it won’t
be because you have been killing your back!
Another feature that is pretty neat is that because the
Juppy is simply made of cotton, it is easy to fold up and bring with you
anywhere. It even comes with its own bag, making it perfect for stowing in a
diaper bag or for use while traveling.
Some similar baby walking devices do not look very solid to
me. The Juppy Momentum has cloth going all the way around it, not just the front
and back, which makes me feel better about trusting an unsteady baby to it. Just
to be thorough, I tossed it in the wash (gentle cycle, like the tag says), and
it came out great! Both the stitching and coloring stayed intact.
Sophia already had a great time when we were trying this
out. I know that it is something she will continue to enjoy, while she is
learning to walk. I especially love that when we go traveling, it will be one
toy that we will be able to take with us without any hassle.
