Don't be a dumbo, get a Bumbo!, 23 Jun. 2010

The Bumbo is a seat that enables babies to sit unaided. It can be used as soon as baby can lift their head - I would say at around 3 or 4 months. The Bumbo should stop being used when the child is able to remove themselves from the Bumbo - the company suggest at around 12 - 14 months but I would suggest around 11 months depending on how active and developed your baby is.

The Bumbo is deep and has high sides and high back for support. There is also a support between the legs to keep the legs apart and prevent baby from falling fowards.The Bumbo comes in one size and are small enough to make tiny babies feel snug and enclosed but are also very spacious. It should be used on a flat surface, at ground level and not up high (chairs, kitchen counters etc) or in water for safety reasons.

The material which Bumbos are made from is very hard to explain - I would say they are a mixture of rubber and foam, and whilst they are very soft and cosy they are also very tough and...

Good but should come with the tray, 13 Jan. 2010

Have had this product about 6 weeks now since my daughter turned 3 months, she enjoys sitting it and looking around.I find it very usefull as it means you can have your baby with you if you need to be in the kitchen etc, then they can just sit and watch you while you wash up or cook etc.It's good now she has started weaning, as it ensures she sits up straight whilst you have both hands free.The only negative I think is the price and the fact that the tray comes seperately at another £10, I think £25 for both would be a fair price.

Hmmmmm, 30 May 2009

I bought this for my 3 month old daughter as she was fed up sitting/lying in her bouncer chair. She could hold her head up and I thought this looked a comfy alternative. She really enjoyed being so close to us when we used it at mealtimes on the table (always supervised and well within arms reach!) but recently (she's now 4.5 months) she's been trying to lean to reach things on the table or floor and when she gets cross she can make herself rigid and sit up almost out of it! I would probably still recommend it to a friend, but it's not for the most active of babies!
