Bumbo Baby Seats - Good idea?

[feeb]

We used them and found them great!

DS1 from 6 months until 11 months, DS2 5 montsh until 9 months. (had to stop using it as DS1 wanted to try and push his brother in seat!

Were fanatistic esepcially when hot as baby could sit up and be happy without being sticky from being held when unable to sit on there own yet.

Dd1 used it until she was almost 2 and dd2 until she was 1 - they both loved their bumbo

We got one for DS & have used it for both kids. They loved it. DS still sits in it sometimes. We found it handy as a portable highchair if we were going to the park or somewhere so DS could sit still to eat. Otherwise, he'd be off. He used it regularly right up until he was about 2. DD loved it when she was learning to sit as that is all she wanted to do. It might have been only 5 minutes before she got tired and wanted out but that gradually increased. ATM, she doesn't like it much as she is wanting to crawl all the time. We will keep it for using as a portable high chair again for another year or so.

So IMO - great investment, well worth it. I would probably look at getting one second hand as they keep really well and are rather expensive new. Ours is 2.5 years old & still looks great.

Love it, couldn't recommend it enough We also had the tray as well. I used it to start solids as DD was too small for a high chair. I would put it up on our bench and put food on the tray and she would nibble away while the boys would have their dinner.

We had one for our girls DD1 didn't use it for long but DD2 loved it and we used if for over a year with her

We had one for DD2, loved it! Was so useful and handy, we got the tray one too and it was the best thing we bought for the baby.
We got a second hand one from a FB buy and sell page for $50.

omg i love mine. i use it on the chaise to feed her while DS cuddles in next to me... two birds one stone. and lately int he shower so i can wash both kids and myself in one warm shower You have got to be careful that bub doesn't throw him/herself out of it tho and extra careful on benches/elevated surfaces... i wouldn't leave Immy unattended like that as she loves to throw herself about.
but she loves to sit in it and bounce and tap her feet on the floor
and it is also good in warm weather as pp mentioned
