My son is already 5 months old. Will he grow out of this too quickly for it to be worthwhile? He is large: 17.5 lbs and 28.5" tall.

My 7 moth old grand children still use a jumperoo, but i returned this one because it was too unstable and I did not trust it. I am glad because, I can not believe how high and how hard those boys can jump in the two we have, the rain forest is great, and the laugh and learn the Forest one has a smaller seat, good for 5 month olds. both are very stable.

Our son used it until he was almost a year old (even though he was walking). He was 30+ inches at that point and was on the highest setting. Our daughter is your son's height and is on the lowest setting still, but she'll likely be moving up soon.

I doubt it, Every 6 month old is a different length and weight. The 6 moth old we have is not even close to "growing out of it" He is already 25 lbs , and chunky. He LOVES this, you should see the little one jump. What a great life saver when the other twin is crying and needs to be fed or changed. Oh, the other twin is only 20 pounds, and no where near ready to be too big for this jumperoo. He is more the weight ad length that your son is. Have fun jumping!!! the kids sure do.

My daughter is right there with your son and she seems to enjoy it. I know it only goes up to 25 lbs so I'm not to sure how much longer she'll be able to use it. But she it on the 1st setting for the height.

My daughter is 8 months old and is 23 lbs and 29" tall and she still fits and uses it every day.

We bought this last summer when my son was about 6 months. It was a little too big for him then. He is now 15 months (70th percentile) and I think it will fit very nicely this summer.

Totally depends on your baby! My son was 17 pounds at 3 months (98th %), so I'm sure he's a bit earlier than average. We is got this for him at 3 1/2 months and we started using it for short periods so he could get the standing up feeling and start learning the toys for cause and effect. Now, at 4 months, he loves to jump! We still have it on the setting that keeps him closest to the ground because he's average on height (25 inches now). His feet are almost flat, but the next setting is too high. In any case, we should be able to use this until he's walking, so many months of use. :)

I got ours for a 1 year old and it is fine for him and probably for another few years, for a 3 year old I would go with something bigger so they can grow into it!

For my little guy, for sleeping, yes he was too big. I still used it at 3-4 months for a quick hands free moment-bathroom, shower, etc. But my son is a mover and not satisfied sitting still, he was always trying to wiggle out of it.

Our son is 5 months old and about 18lbs and he still uses it all the time (and will probably continue to use for many months to come). My understanding is that this jumperoo is meant to be used all the way through their "first steps" which (in most cases) is beyond 4 and 5 months. We got this jumperoo when he was 4 months and about 15 lbs, and while he LOVED it, we could tell he was a little small for it and there was plenty of room for him to grow into it. Overall, my wife and I both agree this is one of the best purchases we've made for our little man so far.

Given that I have only bought one size, and I am a fully grown adult, it's difficult for me to recommend which one you should pick for your son. But, I did scan through the reviews to see which ones mention buying smaller sizes for their children. I came across a few that would at least come close to your son's statistics. The first one I found was bought for a 9 year old who was "Very tall" for her age, and they got her a medium. The reviewer said that if you buy a size perhaps slightly bigger than you were hoping for, the outfit comes with several straps that wrap around the waist and legs that can tighten it. (which I can confirm is true.) The only part that I've ever found to be loose is the upper chest region. I can't even seem to get that region to stay tucked in when I move around too much in the outfit. Also, another reviewer bought this for her 13 year old son who was 5'7 and 120 pounds and chose large. She said it was "a tad loose, but not too long." This is probably the example you were looking for, so listen carefully: Given the fact that you son is the same age as hers, and is both shorter and weighs less than her son, Medium might be a wiser choice - but remember I can't confirm that, I've never bought or tried any other side except for XL. At any rate, I think whether you pick medium or large everything will be fine. The medium might fit perfectly, and the large, if you decided to get that one, would at least be really comfortable, nonrestrictive to motor functions, and more importantly; he'd be able to continue using it as he ages and grows. So either decision you make I think you'll find good things about either of them. Hope I was of help.

My son is 14 months old and I'm still using it. I figure the way he's growing, I'll probably can use it 3 or 4 more months. My son is 24 pounds and 2 feet 5. He's big ;)

We bought a size large and started using it with our baby when he was 4 months old/17 pounds. It fit well, still fits now at 6 months old.

It depends on the size of his head, age doesn't really matter. I think it may be a little too big though, but you can pad it up until he grows into it.

I think he will be too big for this. My 2 year old grandbaby rides it fine, but her legs are long and she will outgrow it before too long. I think there are cozy coups that would work better for a 5 year old (there was a fire engine one at one point)..

No!! Your baby should be out grown for it. Its for smaller babies. It was great though.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

I think it should fit him at his current size, although it might not fit him for very much longer. My 7 month old was about that size last month when he stopped wearing it (not because it didn't fit anymore, just because we thought it was time). The makers of the suit made the crotch really low to allow for taller/longer torso babies, so his arms and legs might stick out more than they would for other babies, but it won't be uncomfortable for him. My little one is pretty chunky, and we never had an issue with tightness around belly or anything. Hope this helps!

No he's not too big. This toy has been the best purchase ever. We have a 5 year old who is as tall as an 8 year old. It's the first thing they play with everyday when they go outside. Enjoy!

I don't think so. It seemed a bit low for my daughter who was around that height. It won't last much longer beyond 5yrs old at this stage.

I got a large, and it is small by many standards. I cannot imagine how small the small must be and im sure it could only be useful for a very short time. My son could use the large from 5mo. I would highly recommend going with the large.
