you may not get much use out of this so its a litte expensive for just a couple of months but it can be worth it. my daughter hates lying down, she likes to sit up and look around and when you have stuff to do, its hard. i kept it outside and i put her in it when i did washing
keeps baby in place when they cant sit themselves
my baby had thunder thighs and at 7months was starting to squash her legs so we didnt get much use out of it

Our 2 year old was wrapped in it, not for herself but for her little sister. As soon as she saw her sister sitting up she ran over to hold her hand to try to make her dance! WE added the tray and a toy, suction cupped to the tray, bub absolutely loved it. At 6 1/2 months she is close to being able to get herself out of i, so that's disappointing. I'm very glad we bought one.
Keeps bub sitting up even though she can't yet do it herself, better than a high chair at this early stage as she slumps in the highchair
I don't think we'll be able to use it much longer as bug arches her back and puts her feet on the floor at the same time, trying to get out after she's been in it a while.

Great idea, very suportive for young babies who can not all ready sit unsupported, although you must may sure your baby has good neck strength and that there head does not flop around.
My babies physiotherapist recommended I get this seat for her. I find the Bumbo really supports my babies back exactly where she needs its.
There is no seat belt so babies are at risk of falling out so you need to always supervise your baby when using the Bumbo plus never put it up on anything as I have heard that alot of babies have been hurt falling out when raised up high.

Very happy with the bumbo. Baby is very keen to be sitting up but can't quite balance yet so this is allowing him to enjoy being upright till he gets the hang of it himself. I didn't buy the tray and now wish I had, will be going back for it.
Easy to clean, baby sits in it quite comfortably. Like the colour options. Doesn't take up too much room.
Price.

Really easy to pop baby into on your way to wash your hands or grab a jacket - it's a quick and easy baby sitter. We use it for short periods of time at the moment with a 5 month old who is very proud to be sitting up on her own. We have a placid baby that is happy to sit and enjoy the action of sitting up. It's also great to have a break from holding her up yourself and to sit her up after a feed to keep milk down. Love the Bumbo!
Streamlined, light and very easy to clean. Great for helping my baby to learn to sit up by herself.
Would be awesome if you could use it on a chair / table or in the bath.

This is an excellent product! We used it from when our baby was 3 months old and found it an excellent way to prop him up as he was no longer satisfied lying on his back in the rocker/on the mat. The play tray was invaluable for providing toys and food at a reachable level. It would be more useful if the Bumbo could have straps to fit it securely to a normal chair to be used as a high chair. Very pricey new, particularly as you only get 1 year's use from it, but great quality ones can be found for under half price second hand. Well worth the buy.
Lightweight, easy to clean, portable, enjoyable way for baby to sit up before they can do it on their own.
Price, inability to use it as a high chair.

I love the bumbo - it is practical and easy to use. I would take it with me all the time and can be easily cleaned. I liked the fact it helped bubs sit up and be a part of the family 'safely' from around 3 months of age.
I love the soft texture of the bumbo and the fact it is so easy to clean. It is light weight so its not hard to take with you on an outing and saves your pram from getting grotty at meal times.
I brougth the optional table and thiat is very tricky to get on and off. I have one baby who was just too wriggly for it though - she could get out of it at 9 months.

Attractive in design, available in lots of different colours to match your home, it is also very easy to clean after baby's attempt at self-feeding. I initially avoided buying it due to cost, but my baby's refusal to do anything but lie on his back had made me desperate. His physiotherapist recommended it to encourage prolonged sitting. I should have bought it earlier, and have already bought several for my friends' little ones.
Soft moulded plastic fits his little bottom snuggly. Its size means it is easy to store. The tray (an extra) means that he will more easily play with finger-food
Cost - it is more pricey than its competitors.

These seats are a good idea and help to amuse babies before they can sit properly on their own. It is best to try and find one on special or second hand as they will not be used for that long.
A good way to give baby some sitting up time before they learn to do it by themselves. Also provides a bit of an activity for baby and they can sit in the seat and look around more easily. Keeps baby occupied.
These seats can be expensive and can only really be used for a short time so is best to try and find one second hand as you will not probably use them a long time.

A bit expensive. I use it to feed baby sometimes but as it normally involves me wrenching him out of it and leading to a bit of a crying match I don't use it as much as I thought I would. Good for lean babies. It was given to me as a present.
Soft molded construction. Baby sits up very well in this. Light. Easily cleaned.
Expensive. Baby's thighs get stuck. He is a bit chubby and sometimes when we pick him up we really have to tug it off his thighs. He then gets a bit upset.

Babies comes in different sizes, lengths etc..and are different. Good to use for 4mnths+ babies who have good neck control and can stay in one place.
Material is soft, comes in different colours
Price, too small for older/bigger babies

I used the Bumbo Baby Seat for my bub before he could sit up on his own in a high chair. It was fantastic for feeding him - I placed it up on a table and could feed him at eye level. It has also lasted really well. I received the seat as a hand-me-down from my sister who used it with her three children, and it is still going strong! Bub was also starting to get quite bored and frustrated at always being on the floor, and sitting up gives him a better view of what is going on around the place.
Gives bub soft cushioned support and allows them to sit up before they can on their own.

I think the Bumbo is an essential item for babies. It really has helped build her neck strength and enabled her to play with her toys earlier then if she was just lying on the floor or limited to playing with ehr toys on someones lap.
I love that it has a soft moulded construction which can be cleaned very easily. It comes in a range of colours, we have the lilac one and it is different to traditional pink and blue. I love that it really holds my daughter in and upright when i need to cook or clean and the play tray is great.
The only downside is becuase it is a moulded 'bucket' seat, my refluxy daughter vomits every time I put her in there. Just means extra cleaning for me.
