This made feeding baby much easier early on. At 5 months, our daughter was ready for baby food, but wasn't quite big enough for our high chair. This way she could sit secure and I could focus on feeding her without having to keep her from sliding around in the chair or distract her from chewing on the tray.

Convenience~ during the day I can bring the Bumbo into the living room to feed her so I can watch my toddler play at the same time. Being able to bring it along on trips has been helpful too.

I can put my daughter in the Bumbo on the floor with a bucket of toys beside her while I am cooking dinner. She will sit and play happily, a safe distance from the cooking, but also able to be near and see me. This was especially helpful before she was crawling and wanted to be sitting up seeing all that was going on.

It is fun to watch her and my toddler interact while she is sitting in the Bumbo. My older daughter will bring my younger one toys to play with and "read" to her. The Bumbo gives baby her own "space" so she can play with her sissy without getting smothered. :)

She does have those chubby baby legs that will make the Bumbo a bit snug soon.

The price is high, but perhaps that will go down in a few years after the "newness" wears off.

It is also very important to only use the Bumbo on the floor unless you are right there with baby.

 Overall, I have really enjoyed this product. I recommend it as a great gift to parents as there are plenty of necessities that they will be buying, but this can be very helpful, especially to parents of more than one child.
