    Hi Carla,

    I'm not overly impressed but for a massive £60 saving on the jumperoo I'm not sure what I was expecting really.

    Most of our problems arose because the instructions had been sealed in a wet bag and so were stuck together and mouldy so we couldn't read them very well.

    Definitely need two pairs of hands as getting the seat thing on was really tight. Make sure you understand that there is a raised bit at the back of the seat and the pad has to go on in a certain way. This was the bit that was stuck together so we didn't see that until we had put the whole thing together. Then after we took it out and fixed that and put it back again we found loads of left over attachment bits. Another couple of pages stuck so we missed that too.

    It also says not to use excessive force to get the plastic toys into the slots but both dad and I agreed that what was needed was far more than excessive force, especially on plastic that felt fairly flimsey.

    Two of the toys are damaged too and both inside sealled packs so supposedly passed quality control.

    Does anyone know if Bright Sparks is a Mothercare brand as the quality really is quite shocking. Though I hope I just had my usual bad luck and everyone elses is fine.
