Has anyone used aids like bumbo seats or anything else similar to help their child to sit. My daughter is always wanting to be in an upright position and i feel this will be easier rather then hold her 24/7.
We have a bumbo seat that we used with DD1 and we will use it with DD2. I like it just because it provides them with a little seat to sit on instead of always being on the floor.. LOL
Was a bit of a fizzer for us. We borrowed one (thanks again Marlene!) but to be honest he looked awkward and uncomfortable in it and usually only lasted a minute or two before he'd start protesting so we gave it back. A friend has since told me that they aren't great for chubby bubbies, and my DS definitely is, so maybe there's something in that? I know I had to practically wedge his thunder thighs in
DD has one and she loved it until recently (she has started trying to crawl and tries to throw herself out of the bumbo) but we got a good 4 or 5 months use out of it
I had one and thought it was great. I could put DS on the bench while i was cutting up veggies for dinner! He had the thunder thighs too, but did alright. It was hard to dislodge them to get him out though, but it was fine. You don't really need to use them for that long coz it doesn't take long for them to be able to sit themselves.
We've got one but I haven't used it for a few weeks. He used to be okay in it and would last 5 minutes or so, but I found the position it put him in would make him vomit quite a bit (he's a happy chucker anyway). If we didn't have that problem I'm sure I'd use it a lot more, but now that he is that bit bigger and almost sitting unaided I find it better to sit him on the floor with pillows around him for when he looses his balance.
We bought one for DS2 and he loved it. He would sit in it and be happy all the time. We then passed it on to my sister for my neice and she too loved it. It has come back again now and Anelise is using it. She loves sitting up in it and always has a big smile on her face when she is in it. None of my babies have been chubbas so can't comment on that, but I can say my children have always looked comfortable in it. DS2 is 2yrs old and he still likes to sit in it now and again, and he thinks it makes an awesome helmet lol.
