Juppy Baby Walker Momentum (Blue/Black)

I was torn about giving this 3 or 4 stars. Compared to other walking aids, I liked this one far better than the one that just holds them at armpit level-- mostly because I read all about the horror stories of little purple arms and such. This one has no such problem and my normally hesitant little girl took off almost at a run as soon as she was in the Juppy Baby. It's easy to walk them holding one strap in each hand, or you can put some muscle into it and hold both straps with one hand without any problem. The material was sturdy, the design was great and I still think we made a sound, albeit short, investment. This is the 4-star portion of the product. The 3-star portion is something people really need to be aware of though-- and what we wish the manufacturer would upgrade. The material for the harness portion is NOT stretchy...I suppose for structure purposes. But this means that if you have a kid that's a little chubbier than "average" or has chubbier legs, this either will not fit or will be a little uncomfortable. Our daughter is a little more in the 85% percentile for height & weight and it was hard to get the harness to go completely up her little torso because her legs were a little tight on the openings. Since the material doesn't stretch, that's as far up as we could go. Also, there is no way to make the sling wider or narrower on the top, so children that are chubbier or skinnier may not fit perfectly in the harness. The product says the harness is not intended for children 30 lbs. or over, but our daughter is about 24-26 lbs, and it's a tight squeeze.Other than that...we love the product. We even love the little carry bag that comes with it. We bought the black & yellow one and our little girl looks like a little bee flitting around. If there was a way to fix the harness size issue to make it more adjustable WITHOUT compromising the integrity or the resiliency, that would make this a 5-star product in my book.

I have a 10 month old and a 4 year old and don't have time to do many reviews. In fact, I should be doing something else right now but I had to sit down for a second and write a review on the Juppy! I just walked my 10 month old around the house for 20 minutes and all I could think about was how awesome this product is! I love it. We've had it for 2 weeks.My daughter is 10 months old and 21 pounds and "All she wants to do is, all she wants to do is (walk)." All the time. And it was killing our backs! Seriously I'd wake up the next day, after only holding on to her hands and walking her for 5 minutes max, and think What the heck did I do to my back?! Same thing for my husband. So we got our walk-happy daughter a walker and a Johnny Jump Up. Makes sense, right? She hates it the walker and runs her head into the wall on the Johnny Jump up. Great. I don't know why, but she thinks the walker is the devil.2 minutes in the Juppy and she was giggling and walking all around the house. Only problem is that she walks to all the things that are forbidden and wants to sit down, lol!!I wanted to mention some things for the parents reading this who have a son or daughter who does not want to walk. That was my situation with my first- 17 months and still not walking. So we bought the Walking Wings. Total bust. I think because it only went around the chest. Didn't help at all. But I really think she would have liked the Juppy if I had known about it then because it provides much more support as it goes between the legs.What did help my walk-resistant daughter? Squeaky shoes (shoes that squeak when you walk- you can get them on Amazon), walking on low, business-grade carpet (some of her first steps were in an AT&T store while we were waiting to activate our iPhones) and starting from the lowest step and pushing off. And patience.But I do think the Juppy would have helped! And if you have a son/daughter that just wants to walk all day, this is perfect! I just paired this with the squeaky shoes and my daughter was in heaven. Don't hesitate to comment on this if you have a question for me as I'm probably leaving something out. Happy walking!

I purchased this for my 4 1/2 month daughter, I know that seems young but she has really shown an interest in walking so I decided to go ahead and give this a shot.I was a little hesitant to purchase this, mostly because majority of the reviews are either by people who purchased this as a gift (meaning they have no experience with the product) or by people who were "given" the product to try and review (meaning they did not pay for it therefore they are not adequately reviewing the price vs. quality aspect). So hopefully my review can help those out who feel the same way :-)My daughter loves the Jubby. I like that the harness is tall (approximately 11 ½ inches measuring from the center of the crotch to the top). I was a little worried, especially with her being so young, that she would be able to lean forward and possibly flip out of it. That is not the case. The back of the harness has a zipper and two security fasteners (see product picture I loaded for further detail). This is nice because it makes it easier to get her in and out of and I like knowing that if the zipper becomes undone there are back up fasteners to ensure she doesn't fall out. The interior of the harness is soft and the exterior is almost like a thin canvas type of material. The straps are really my only complaint with this product. I expected something a little more substantial. They are thin nylon straps that come with two fabric, removable, wrap-arounds so the straps do not hurt your hands. The straps are adjustable (by a few inches).Overall, I like the Jubby, I just wish the straps were a little thicker, but as long as it holds up, I guess that is all the matters. For $30 it seems to be worth it. I've only been using the Jubby for a little over a week. I promise to update this review or leave a comment on it, if I run into any issues.Also the Jubby looks like it will wash well, although I can't verify that since I haven't washed it yet.
