Combi USA Car Jumper, Pink

I just started using this and am worried about its safety. We have high ceilings and modern, metal molding around our doorway. The latch that affixes this contraption to the doorway only has one setting to tighten it. I worried it was not locked tight enough. Yesterday I was lifting my son out of it and the latch un-clipped itself, falling to the ground and coming inches from hitting his head. I don't know if this is because my doorway is not standard so will not condemn it totally. It does look really cool, but for the extra money (beyond the standard Fisher Price models) I'd expect to get not just a cooler product, but a safer one too. I am going to call Combi and ask them to take this back. I'd also purchased a vibrating Combi bouncer that we gave away because the baby hated it. After buying two Combi products I am done with them.

When I first received this item and took it out of the box, I immediately felt that it was unreliable and dangerous to put my baby in. However I gave it a very careful, supervised chance and kept an eye on the cheap looking lock mechanism. The whole piece that attaches to the doorway looks cheap, and has only one setting to lock. Once locked you can still move the arms with your hands even though you shouldn't be able to. After doing numerous weight tests and seeing my son play in it, I am confident that it will not fall down. Now, five months later my son bounces in his 'car' for hours at a time and he LOVES it. I feel safe putting him in it and leaving to put in load of laundry or take something out of the oven. My son is a very active bouncer and has really given his car a run for its money. The money we spent on the car is well worth my sons squeals of delight as he is bouncing to his hearts content.

In addition to a deceivingly unsafe hold there are a few drawbacks...Read more

We like this jumper but its cumbersome to get baby in and out of because of the piece of plastic above his head.
Also the music doesnt have an off switch (at least thats what hubby tells me, I havent had time to look!)
Otherwise I like it, baby loves it!
Definitely keep an eye on your baby while in it.
