Like everyone else said, they should have their knees slightly bent to allow for bouce room. One important thing is to make sure their feet can sit flat on the floor instead of on their tiptoes, because there's some evidence that extended periods of time on tiptoes can cause the baby's Achilles tendon to shorten. You should never leave a baby in one for more than half an hour at a time, as tempting as it might be. I know my son loved his, and threw big tanties when I would take him out... but it is possible to spend too much time in one.
Good luck with it... and make sure you take photos... they'll look SO cute in a few years.

Under no condition would I put a baby in a Jolly Jumper. In fact I think they should be pulled off the market. I spent15 years as an ER nurse and can't tell you how many injuries I saw. Broken femurs, the top coming offf the door frame and the child falling and having a head injury. I had one child almost strangulate himself. The amarican Academy of pediatrics also does not recommend them, they also are leading edge in getting walkers pulled off the markiet.Kids get to moblie and get into things they shouldn't.

Hello does anyone have the definite answer for setting up the height of the jolly jumper, should we or should we not let the baby's feet touch the ground fully or just the toes ?
I looked at this forum it says to let the baby's toe touch the ground and not the whole feet?

If this is one of those apparatuses that hooks to a door frame. Forget it and get rid of it. Too many children have gotten hurt by those things. It amazes me that they still make and sell them.
There is a toy called a JUMPEROO by Fisher Price. It, as a johnny jump-up, allows the child to jump and bounce; but the seat is attached to a floor based frame making it MUCH safer (nothing to slip and come crashing down on baby's head). It is height adjustable, is safe, and has music, lights, and toys to add to the entertainment. I got mine from K-Mart; but have since also seen them at consignment shops (looked there first; but, as luck would have it, they didnt have any THEN). O 'ell. Anyway, my daughter so enjoyed it that we are holding on to it for any future children. I highly recommend it.

I would say low enough for the baby's feet to touch the floor so that they can jump, but not so low where they would be kneeling on the floor.

Your babys feet should be placed touching the floor as if he/she is standing up but make sure its not too low to where their knees are bent but not too high to where they cant tough

Babys knees should be bent a little so he is comfy and able to push off to jump....let him try and then adjust as neccessary.

baby's feet should be able to touch the ground but only just so he/she can use there feet to push them self back and down.
