       3 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said front legs have bottom ends interconnected by said bottom shaft. 
   
   
       4 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said first ends of said elastic couplers are connected to said coupling sleeves, respectively. 
   
   
       5 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said seat assembly includes:
 a seat support connected to said second ends of said elastic couplers to suspend said seat support on said top frame, said seat support having a first annular part that defines a seat hole; and   a seat unit disposed in said seat hole and having a second annular part that engages said first annular part.   
   
   
       6 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said seat unit includes:
 a child seat formed with a pair of leg openings;   a seat mount formed with said second annular part; and   a set of fasteners for fastening said seat mount to a periphery of said child seat.   
   
   
       7 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein said set of fasteners includes:
 a plurality of first engaging elements provided on said periphery of said child seat; and   a plurality of second engaging elements provided on said seat mount to engage said first engaging elements, respectively.   
   
   
       8 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein:
 each of said first engaging elements is defined by a fastener hole formed in said periphery of said child seat; and   each of said second engaging elements is defined by a hook formed on said seat mount.   
   
   
       9 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein:
 said seat mount includes an annular wall disposed in said seat hole;   said second annular part including a top flange extending in radial outward directions from a top edge of said annular wall, and a downward flange extending downwardly from an outer peripheral edge of said top flange;   said annular wall, said top flange and said downward flange cooperating to impart said seat mount with a reverse-U shaped cross-section;   said first annular part including an annular track with a U-shaped cross-section;   said downward flange extending into said annular track when said second annular part engages said first annular part.   
   
   
       10 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said first annular part further includes an annular protruding rim formed at an inner top edge of said annular track, and a plurality of ball bearings embedded in said annular protruding rim for contacting said top flange of said seat mount. 
   
   
       11 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein each of said elastic couplers includes:
 a biasing member having first and second biasing ends;   a first anchoring member for connecting said first biasing end to said top frame; and   a second anchoring member for connecting said second biasing end to said seat support.   
   
   
       12 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said biasing member is an extension spring, each of said elastic couplers further including a sheath sleeved on said biasing member. 
   
   
       13 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein each of said elastic couplers further includes a connecting strap for connecting said first anchoring member to said top frame, and a mounting piece mounted fixedly on said seat support and connected to said second anchoring member. 
   
   
       14 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein said first annular part includes an annular track with a U-shaped cross-section, said second annular part having an inverted-L shaped cross-section and engaging slidably said first annular part such that said seat unit is rotatable relative to said seat support. 
   
   
       15 . The stationary baby jumper as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein adjacent ones of said elastic couplers are angularly spaced apart by an angle of 120 degrees. 
   
   
       16 . A baby jumper comprising:
 a support frame assembly including
 a top frame, 
 a plurality of legs, each having a top end connected to said top frame, and 
 a plurality of elastic couplers, each of which has a first end connected to said top frame, and an opposite second end; and 
   a seat assembly connected to said second ends of said elastic couplers, said seat assembly including
 a seat support having a first annular part that defines a seat hole, and 
 a seat unit disposed in said seat hole and having a second annular part that engages slidably said first annular part such that said seat unit is rotatable relative to said seat support. 
   
   
   
       17 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein said seat unit includes:
 a child seat formed with a pair of leg openings;   a seat mount formed with said second annular part; and   a set of fasteners for fastening said seat mount to a periphery of said child seat.   
   
   
       18 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 17 , wherein:
 said seat mount includes an annular wall disposed in said seat hole;   said second annular part including a top flange extending in radial outward directions from a top edge of said annular wall, and a downward flange extending downwardly from an outer peripheral edge of said top flange;   said first annular part including an annular track with a U-shaped cross-section;   said downward flange extending into said annular track when said second annular part engages said first annular part.   
   
   
       19 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein said first annular part further includes an annular protruding rim formed at an inner top edge of said annular track, and a plurality of ball bearings embedded in said annular protruding rim for contacting said top flange of said seat mount. 
   
   
       20 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein each of said elastic couplers includes a biasing member having first and second biasing ends, a first anchoring member for connecting said first biasing end to said top frame, and a second anchoring member for connecting said second biasing end to said seat support. 
   
   
       21 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 20 , wherein each of said elastic couplers further includes a connecting strap for connecting said first anchoring member to said top frame, and a mounting piece mounted fixedly on said seat support and connected to said second anchoring member. 
   
   
       22 . The baby jumper as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein:
