The bumbo seat was nice to have when my daughter was first learning to sit because she could interact with toys and us in an upright position and work on her head control. We still use it now that she can sit on her own to play and eat sometimes. We have the tray which is a nice accessory. It is also lightweight and easy to move around the house. More portable than a bouncy seat.
The bumbo baby seat has served its purpose with my six month old baby. She often wants to be seated and this seat helps provide support. I often seat my baby in this while I am cooking as she likes to watch me. I also feed her while she is seated here. she appears to be quite comfortable in it. I like the fact that a tray can be attached so that I can place her rattles and toys on for her to engage in play.
I bought my Bumbo when my son was 5 months old. He was able to use it right away and it aided him in sitting up without my support. He was able to sit securely and safely without worry!! I use it when I need him to stay put near me and he is still able to reach his toys and I use it as a bath tub seat too!! Where was this when my girl was little? LOVE my Bumbo!!
The Bumbo seat is amazing! I put my daughter in it from about 6 weeks until about 6 months. I could prop her in it on the counter (even though that is risky! She was in the middle of the counter and not going anywhere! I was watching!) and could drink my coffee or eat breakfast. I got the tray, too, and she loved to play with her toys while in the Bumbo. Highly recommended!
These are great for helping a little one sit up. Be careful not to put in a counter or high place!! They can wiggle out of these, my baby has (on the floor).
We bought the Bumbo seat at a yard sale for my second child. We sat her in it long before she was sitting on her own. I loved that she could go wherever I went in the house. I loved that she could join us at the dinner table (sitting ON the table) and she seems to enjoy it for short periods of time. But...
There are some major problems with this seat.
1. For the "assisted sitter" (child who can't sit on their own) the bumbo seat sits the child straight up with no head/neck support. My 4 month old daughter slouched in the seat in the most uncomfortable way. Although she held her head up beautifully,...
read full review »I really like the Bumbo. I am a first-time parent and need all the help I can get and the Bumbo delivers! I purchased it when my son was 5 months old. It really is handy when we are visiting family. He has his own seat and loves seating like a big boy! It doesn't take a lot of room and I can wipe it clean very easily.
We loved the Bumbo! My daughter is very aware of her surroundings, and in the begining wanted to be a part of everything. The Bumbo was great because she was able to sit up "on her own" in the Bumbo. This is not a seat for infants who are able to sit on there own, but a seat for those on their way! This is now my favorite gift to give the expecting Mom.
As long as you follow the safety instructions, this product is great. You can't blame the company when you don;'t follow the safety warnings. You could trip over a rock on the road and fall and can you blame the city for that? It's a great product as long as it's properly used. We loved it.
