A brilliant addition to baby furniture, can be used from 4 months onwards ( from when a baby can hold it's head up).
Practical, can delay buying a highshare, allows bubs to be part of a family
Needs supervision when baby starts turning

When expecting parents ask me what pieces of baby equipment are an essential, this is one product I can't go past telling them about. Our daughter was in her bumbo for short periods of time from 10 weeks. She started her solids sitting in this chair and would sit in here endlessly when she was 5 months old playing with toys and watching the world go by from the lounge room window. It came with us on holidays, as it was relatively portable in the car, and tray was also handy. She hated her bouncer but loved sitting up in her bumbo seat. I also found it helped strengthen her back also.

This is such a great idea and works very well! Bub is securely in place and he loves being able to sit up like a big boy. The downside of it is if you have a healthy chubby little bub like mine, he won't be able to sit in it for long! His thighs are a bit chunkier than the average 4 month old and I feel like his legs are cramped in there and it's harder to get him out without another person assisting.

Oh well....maybe for future #2 bub??
Sturdy, well made, easy to clean, portable, bubs can sit up by himself and feel like a big boy!
Expensive, not exactly one size fits all, can be too small/tight for bigger bubs...for a fast growing bub this will be outgrown very quickly.

i only used this fpr a couple of months when bub was very small was not suitable and now that she is older too big for it, she prefers sitting up on her own
helps baby sit up, light and easy to carry and travel with, not easy to feed in
short life span 4-11 kg i think

My baby loves to sit but not quite there on his own. he loves the bumbo as he can sit unaided so we can interact with him when he is sitting more. It was a fantastic purchase.
the ability for our bub to sit in the chair without us holding onto him
have no bad comments so far

The bumbo seat is a great little invention. Great to start solids with and for the babies to sit with you at meal times.
Compact, Portable, additional tray feature
Have to be careful baby does not slip forward or side

We high recommend the bumbo baby seats!

These are a godsend, especially with the play tray option.

They are extremely comfy for baby, the other brand we had was not even in the same boat as the bumbo.

I now know why they have such a great name.
Comfy, good value, baby likes it, has a play tray

when it first came i was nearly jumped thats how much excited i was.
i put the tray on and put my bub straight away. it is the best seat for her ever..(coz i bought some other brand before)
will be good for 5 months actually but i just got the info from my cousin when my bub was 6 months so i order it straight away.
very steady, light weighted, easy to clean and even good after bad days on BLW with a brocolli and carrots on it and go jump to the bath straigh away.
it is pretty hard to put bubs in when the tray is already clipped, and pretty much small for a long term use.

this is a good little seat for the young baby who needs or wants to sit upright. great for baby's that have reflux as the upright position is more comfortable for them. only of use until baby begins to try to get mobile - after that they tend to get too frustrated not being able to move. a well made product and very stable (please read the instructions tho - this is designed to go on the FLOOR not a surface where baby can fall from)
when used properly this a great safe little seat for child. well made. great range of colours.
if your baby has really chubby legs you may find that they don't fit in this seat well. pretty pricey for limited life span

The Bumbo is a very handy seat for us! My baby gets frustrated lying in her bouncer and is constantly trying to sit up - even though she can't sit up yet (not quite 4 months). So we put her in the Bumbo the other day - she absolutely LOVES it. Means I can go hands free again as well and get a few things done around the house.

Its very easy to clean any spews,etc and they hold their value really well. We got ours from my sister who has used it for her 2 kids, and it will go back to her again when they have their next baby. Very hardy indeed!
Easy to use
Worried about it tipping over

Was a great seat for my second baby when she started to sit up, as it allowed her to sit up completely and fairly securely, and look around. Once she was able to twist and throw herself around at about 6-7 months though, she nearly fell out of it, and I stopped using it. I would NOT leave baby in a Bumbo unsupervised as a safety precaution. It was a great alternative to a highchair while we were travelling, and also to take to playgroup. The Bumbo was also very easy to wipe clean after meals. As we were given it second-hand, price wasn't an issue. I would not have bought a brand new one though, due to expense.
easy to clean, baby can sit up well
not entirely secure

I used this product far less than i thought i would. It is great to take to playgroup so baby can see the other kids and i can have my hands free. Its also great if i need to get housework done and i need to know that baby is now crawling throughout the house. His legs do get stuck in the leg openings, but it doesnt seem to worry him.
Allows baby to sit up and look around
Peace of mind knowing baby cant get out
Lightweight
Comes with tray for toys/food
Easy to clean
Babys legs do get stuck in the leg openings
Baby will grow out of this before the recommended age of 14 months
Expensive for such a short use
