Would certainly give this as a gift
I had one of these with both my children. It was a great thing to take friends houses who don't have children. It's light weight and easy to clean so made for a perfect portable high chair.
Should be cheaper
I do love the bumbo for feeding my daughter but I do find it is pricey as I found a cheaper version at Walmart that had more leg room for her ! The bumbo is still great but I wouldn't buy it again.
Rarely Used
It was good for a few months, the baby would sit in it and be able to eat and relax without me having to worry too much. Luckily I got a used one because I rarely used it. It was good for the time being, useful for when baby is learning to sit up, but can't make use of it for long.
Not for every baby
I was disappointed when it was obvious my son did not like the Bumbo seat at all. I thought they were so awesome and great for the little ones to start sitting in. Luckily, I didn't have to buy one as I had borrowed the one my sister had gotten for her son who loved it.
Since I noticed it was very much so a hit and miss for many babies, I would suggest buying a used seat or borrow one to try and see if your baby likes it before buying new.
Cheap product but dont find it very useful
We were given the bumbo seat as a gift. While it is cheap and fairly durable, our baby doesn't seem to like it that much. I would borrow one first before buying incase your baby does not like it.
Je n'ai jamais pu l'utiliser...
Je crois que ce siège est uniquement fait pour les bébés de petites tailles puisque je n'ai jamais pus y installer ma fille. Soit elle était trop jeune pour bien se tenir la tête ou qu'elle était déjà trop grande (grosse) pour y entrer. Je n'ai donc jamais utiliser mon siège, qui, selon moi, est très dispendieux pour la durée de l'utilisation que l'on en fait habituellement.
The seat is okay. It does not really have much of a support to keep baby from bobbling everywhere. It is nice and comfortable. Buht lacks support for baby. And very expensive to purchase.
I read all these reviews about NOT putting baby in the Bumbo until he was sitting up on his own - instead of using it to "train" him to sit up, because it was essentially trapping him in there, and he wasn't strengthening any of his own muscles.
With the tray, it was perfect as his first place to learn to eat solids, while I sat on the floor next to him. For a while, we stopped using it because he wouldn't fit, but now that he's slimmed down (all that walking and crawling!) he fits in it again and likes to get into on his own (but can't get out!)
I love this bumbo chair for my son. It is great for when he wants to sit up aND let's me be hands free for a while. The tray is great because i can put toys on it for him to play with. I like that this will help him learn to sit by himself.
We have this and have used it minimally. My first son seemed to grow out of it almost as soon as he was able to sit up in it. My second son gets more use since he has a smaller build than his brother. We have the safety straps on it but rarely use it as my son is wedged in already. I'm glad I bought this used because it definitely isn't worth the $60 price tag for the limited about we have used it.
