I'm a huge advocate for the Bumbo! What a great invention. It's perfect for feeding, playing, or if you need to put the baby down while you are busy with cooking or cleaning. I would recommend to any mom!

Babies love to sit before their muscles are strong enough to hold them up. That's why the Bumbo seat is effective and it enables a baby between three and approximately 16 months to be seated unaided in a safe, upright position. As soon as baby has developed adequate neck and head control, they are able to sit unassisted in the Bumbo. The Bumbo seat helps give babies a new view of the world.
I bought the Bumbo for $35 at Walmart. The Bumbo came in handy when we went to visit my in laws as they did not have a height chair, so we used it as a temporary solution. I was able to put my daughter in the Bumbo so that she could eat her cereal at the coffee table flat on the floor with our supervision. My daughter sits in her Bumbo to play games that let her explore toys in a more comfortable position. The Bumbo is soft and seems to be comfortable although there are no straps or belts it is safe to use with supervision, and
as long as you use it as directed by the manufacturer. It's a great way to help your baby learn to sit, but do not use it as a substitute high chair. Do not put it on the table so your baby can watch you making dinner. Keep it safely on the floor, and make sure to monitor your child in it at all times. The Bumbo seat may be an extra set of hands, but is not a babysitter.
