When do Toddlers Learn to Jump with Both Feet?
Two feet jumping typically appears around two years old. By this age, your toddler already has more control over their movements. They'll walk stable, climb stairs easily, and stand on their toes. You can even catch them bending their knees and pushing onto their tiptoes.

Monitoring Your Toddler's Development
Every child has their own pace when developing motor skills. But you should talk to an expert if your little one is approaching three years old and still struggles with jumping. With every hop, skip, and jump, your kid builds confidence and independence that will carry them far beyond their first flight.
