I have a two year old special needs daughter who loves to bounce! She cannot walk an so her jumper and her wingbo are her two favorite activities. Recently she has gotten too tall for her baby Einsteins jumper. Her jumper is the tallest floor adjustable jumper that I am aware of. And I was hoping to get her a johnny jumper of some sort but have been unable to find one that doesn't hang from a door way. I do not have any doorways that would be adequate for a doorway jumper. Please Help!

Going to clarify I have a two year old who is almost three and weighs in at 15lbs so all the traditional jumpers would work weight wise she is just simply too tall for floor jumpers. I have seen the memory muscle jumper and the teekoz harness however these are way out of budget I can afford so I am looking for anything else or any ideas yall can think of! Thank you!
One of my friends put small boards across the bottom edge of a beam that ran across her living room, then used the Johnny jump up in the middle of the room. It was perfect, because they had a lot of space and didn't bump any doorways.
I bought one at Wal-Mart. I don't remember the brand. I have also seen a Johnny jump up and graco bumper jumper there. If I remember correctly, the weight limits on these are 25 pounds. You would need to reinforce the door frame for children that are heavier.
We have a special needs little guy who is 2 also. We put 2 large eye bolts into the main beam of the living room ceiling. My husband put a big strong rope through the holes (they have closed circles so the rope can't slip off or out), and then used a climbing hook to attach what he wants to play with. Our guy likes to swing, so we have a toddler swing that we put up when he wants to swing, and we can put the hook up high when he doesn't need it. That way we don't bump our heads. I don't know how to get a jumper part, but that is how I would hang it from the ceiling. There are a lot of things online that you can buy that are expensive so you could look there. Good luck! If you need more help or pictures just let me know.
I googled special needs jumper seat and got a bunch of links.

The first one I clicked on was a support board and as I read responses I found the term Teekoz Harness.

I think if you follow through on some of these links you'll find a lot of support and ideas that will help you give your little one the best possible things to help her do the things she loves.
I had a Jolly Jumper that had it's own A-frame so it didn't need to hang in the doorway, but I can't say if it would accommodate a two year old or not. http://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=2688481
This one says it can be hung from the ceiling.. you will need to make sure it is a beam up there.. and will hold a child up to 40 lbs.
