we have heard many good comments but It just didn't work for our baby. we have tried it on her since 4 month old. she cried her lungs out and tried to escaped from it so we thought she was not ready for it. so we tried again on 5th month, 6th month, 7th month and now we gave up because I realized that the chair actually locked down her bottom and it frustrated her when she can't move so this chair isn't for her.

We got the Bumbo seat as a gift. Used it 3-4 times tops. The first time baby sat in it without too much complaining but was turning a lot left and right to see what's going on. After this, each attempt to put her in it she would start screaming trying to climb out of it. Newer models have a strap so baby was lifting the whole seat trying to get out of it.

It's not possible to secure it to anything, so for a somewhat more independent baby it will not do any good. They are not too expensive and go on sale regularly, but given the opportunity it's better to test your baby's reaction to it first before purchasing it (in a community centre or something similar).

Otherwise the quality of the foam is good, it's fairly sturdy and would not succumb easily to mechanical influences (i'm thinking biting or poking), while at the same time it is acting like a firm cushion (there are no hard parts other than the strap).

I bought this for my son thinking it would help him learn too sit unassisted. He didn't like it at all. He was very uncomfortable every time I would put him in it. He didn't want too sit in it for more than a minute without crying and screaming his face off. I am also concerned about the safety of this device. It tips super easily, so make sure its not on a couch, just flat on the floor and keep an eye on your little one he/she is using this. At $60 I thought it was way too much money. He didn't really have anything to play with connected to it or music too touch or play. I would have too give him a toy but the small itty bitty table that came with it was super small so he would constantly drop the toy and wouldn't be able to grab it himself without flipping the chair over. Not safe and dangerous I believe. It did come with safety straps but that didn't prevent the unit from tipping over.

Both my kids used these and really for the price, I'd pass by it. They hardly ever used these seats and in fact, didn't like them. We had a pink one that discoloured after awhile.

I wasnt really impressed with the bumbo seat. My daughter was born big and tall..Therefore she could only sit in this for the shortest period of time. I had a bouncer chair that was more effective for her

I've used a bumbo for both kids. They are a comfortable little seat for a baby who can't sit independently yet. It keeps them safe (on the floor) and you can feed them in it. It's a bit pricey in my opinion

I think the bumbo seat is over priced. I thankfully got my second hand because a brand new was 50$! My girls liked it but for a short period of time. They don't like to remain seating so it was not for my girls.

Je n'ai pas aimé le bumbo pour mes enfants.
Quand ils ont été assez vieux pour l'utiliser en se tenant seul leurs cuisses étaient très serrées. L'enfant doit être mince pour l'utiliser et cela n'est que de courte durée. La tablette ne s'enlève pas facilement et je ne me suis jamais servie des attaches tellement mes enfants étaient pris dedans.

I had heard wonderful things about this seat but was not overly impressed with it. We have only used it a handful of time as both of my sons hated being in it. My toddler likes it more now than he did as a baby.
I bought this second hand without the straps. I contacted the company and they mailed the straps right away which was great!

I am so happy I just borrowed one of these and did not fork out the money for my own. My baby didn't like it at all and had no use for it. I do understand all babies have different needs. However just get a bounce chair its far more interactive and you'll get tons of use out it.
