Bumbo was recommended to me by SIL. I sisn't use it much before 4 months but now it's great to feed solids and so little one can be involved while we eat or I cook.....I have a HUGE island bench and put him in bumbo in the middle and cook while he sits and watches and plays with things. I mut say I have barely used the tray but I imagine it will be useful when he starts on finger food soon.
I used it for my DD and found it really useful when she couldn't sit on her own. Sometimes its nice for them to have a view of the world other than the ceiling! I lent it to a friend once she could sit on her own, but I actually wish I had kept longer because I think I would have found more uses for it. Oh well, we live and learn!
I found it handy for bub to sit in the bottom of the shower. This was when she could sit up but not real well. I would sit on the floor too, but it gave me hands free to wash my hair etc.
I got mine when DD2 was 4.5 months old and could sit up but would always tumble over. DH was overseas and all she wanted to do was sit up and I needed it so I could cook dinner or we would have lived on take away food
