Bumbo Baby Sitter

Pros: Helps baby develop neck & trunk muscles, portable, easy to clean

Cons: Short-lived, expensive, safety issues for stronger babies

The Bottom Line: A great seat to help your baby develop muscles for sitting up, but it is short-lived for active babies.

Review: Three things about my son prompted my purchase of the Bumbo Seat. First, he had very strong neck muscles at just 2-3 weeks old. Second, he was a very independent baby and loved to just sit and observe the world around him, but he hated his...

Pros: Lightweight, comfortable, easy to clean, helps infants sit

Cons: Price, can be short-lived

The Bottom Line: The Bumbo has been a great help in our household, and both my baby and I have really enjoyed it!

Review: After my baby was born, I looked at Bumbo baby seats, but figured I would never buy one. They seemed expensive and looked like something that was more gimmicky than something that would get a lot of use. However, as a new mom, I learned that out of...

Pros: Light weight, durable, easy to clean

Cons: Does not work for the larger or smaller than average baby

The Bottom Line: Great seat, would work well if you don't have a tiny or gigantic baby

Review:

After having my 4th child I had heard all the hype about the Baby Bumbo Seat so I decided to give it a try. I did all the research asked all the questions and decided to go and buy one only to be sorely disappointed. This seat...

Pros: Durable, easy to clean, no straps, and allows a baby to sit upright sooner

Cons: Determined children can get out of these. Somewhat pricey.

The Bottom Line: This is a great little chair that I can recommend to anyone with a young baby. Children can escape, though, and this is not intended as a true "baby sitter".

Review: This is a great little seat that I wish had been around when my daughter was a baby. My 22 month old son still loves the thing. He started using the Bumbo not long after being able to hold his head up. When he was able to sit on his own he preferred...

Pros: Great for young babies, helps keep them secure and strengthens their neck muscles.

Cons: Dangerous when they get a bit bigger.

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for 2-months to about 4 months! Great support and neck-strengthening!

Review: Bumbo:
Helping young babies see the world for many successful years!

After we had baby-girl for several months, we had a friend with a baby one month older then baby-girl who was sitting up in a Bumbo, happy as...

Pros: Durable, promotes physical develoment, easy to clean, easy to transport, baby enjoys

Cons: May have a shorter period of use for some children.

The Bottom Line: The Bumbo Seat was integral to my daughters early life heling her see the world and learn how to sit up. It was well worth the money I spent.

Review: When my daughter was born she had a birth defect known most commonly as Spina Bifida. After 35 days in the hospital and one major surgery we finally brought our beautiful daughter from the hospital and embarked on the journey of parenthood once...

Pros: wonderful

Cons: pricy, recall blemished it's name at no fault of its own

The Bottom Line: Great product, wonderful chair for baby!

Review: I received my son's bumbo seat as a baby shower gift. It's something I can't imagine having lived without! I'm able to put my son in his seat and attach the detatchable tray, and he can play and play.

Use of the seat
Where to...

Pros: convenient, cute bright colors

Cons: pricey, work for shirt period of time, not safe

The Bottom Line: Light and convenient, but not for everyone. If your baby's legs are too chubby, it may not fit. If you baby is too active, she'll climb out of it.

Review: My husband got the seat for our son for about $40 (at Bj's I believe). The baby was 4 months old at the time, but he could barely fit in the seat. It was not easy to get him out of it either. I would try to pick him up and the seat would just get...

Pros: Cute novelty for the few pictures.

Cons: Not recommended for chunky babies!

The Bottom Line: Unless you have a thinner baby, don't get...not meant for chunky infants.

Review: I bought the Bumbo at Babies R Us when my son was starting to gain good head control, thinking that this would be good to strengthen his head, neck and back muscles. The folks at Babies R Us recommended this at the time, so I thought I would take...

Pros: baby sits upright, strengthens neck & trunk muscles, my baby likes it!

Cons: I hear it is possible for some babies to escape from this seat.

The Bottom Line: Absolutely! My daughter loved this seat and it was great to take along when we went out to eat.

Review: I had heard great things about the Bumbo seat, so I anxiously awaited the day my daughter would be old enough to try it out. When she was 2 1/2 months old, we began our love affair with the Bumbo Baby Sitter.
