how should the feet be, while they are using it?using only the toes or using the complete foot?

Only the toes should touch the floor. If the baby can use the complete foot, you have to lift the base.

As a pediatric physical therapist, I would say make sure there whole foot touches the floor. Think about when you jump. Do you just jump off your toes or do you use your whole foot? If just toes are touching, this could cause toe walking which could lead achilles tendon tightening.

It depends on how tall your child is in reference to the lowest setting on the Jumperoo. Regardless, it's not going to hurt the child either way as they'll grow into it within time.

My son does both. When it got to be where he was flat footed AND locking his knees we put it up to the next level.

I have used it bare footed with no discomfort. Wearing socks should be fine.

As you lift your foot your other foot will be flat to the ground. It is not a bosu.

sorry for delayed reply, I was out of town. It's either foot. and FYI . . it works "ok". If you have big calves like I do, it's hard to maintain the position. Try it.

Stand still. Place both feet flat and try not to lean to one side or the other. Once you do this, the results are consistent within a tenth of a pound.

I'm not sure, but I have to wonder if that would be necessary. For a beginner I think it would be safer and more comfortable for the child to have their feet loose.

I do believe the movements with your legs is still the same. Make sure there not to big, they may dig into the top of your shoe / foot.

I am not sure what you mean by full toe but for my feet I often got some discomfort between the toes.

I have used this for my toes once and it worked fine. You just have to be very careful.

Works great that way, exactly as intended. Use pipe insulation around metal legs to save toes.

The base is flexible enough that you should be able to, at least secure the rest of the toes. I have a similar situation with my 4th & baby toe, in that they are so tight together (but, not webbed). I am still able to get the gems fairly close, so that they still have the stretching affect.

For the most part I place the heel forward. They are bested use for pushing me along. I hike on a very steep grade. When I am coming down hill I sometime turn the poles around with the toe pointing forward, acts like a brake. My poles have straps but do not use them. I have fallen with them over my wrists and I couldn't get my hands free to block my fall.

I have no problems using it barefooted using relatively light weights of under 200 lbs. In fact, I prefer barefoot for doing toe raises since I get a better feel for the weights that way. I also modified the foot platform by bolting a wooden 2x6 plank across the entire width for greater flexibility in foot placement -- wide stance to narrow stance. Also, get some axel grease and apply it to the sliding tubes or the thing will squeal like a stuck pig. Otherwise, it's a good unit for the price and it does not take up too much space. Just be sure to cover the head rest with large pillows for additional comfort. I have no problems using it barefooted using relatively light weights of under 200 lbs.

My dad used it. He took it out and put it to the bottom of the foot. I don't know if it sticks or you have to tape it. He said it is good to use.

Hi Patricia, I wear mine under my sock or a knee high. If I put my foot into a shoe with the toes sticking out that would not feel good to me. A sock over the sleeve sock keeps it cleaner too in my humble opinionMarji

No, I don't think so; the toe box is blocked with a wall of plastic, so there's no place to insert their toes.

Yes, I do use it almost on a daily basis depending on the shoes I wear. I still cannot put it on my toes.I was them by hand in mild,soapy water and let them air dry over night.
