The Bumbo Baby Chair, although rather expensive for a hunk of molded plastic, is an item I would recommend that new parents pass on, it is designed to help children sit, but my daughter wanted out of it no sooner than we put her in it, she was much more comfortable and much happier in a standard high chair, there was more tray space (the tray you have to purchase extra with the bumbo seat) and she seemed to be a lot more comfy in the padded high chair seat, plus she got to sit at the table with us which she loved, where as the bumbo seat is kind of limited to where you can set it, if you set it on a high surface such as a table, you can't really walk away from it and there is a chance the baby could wiggle out of it (my daughter did multiple times) and fall, and if you set it on the floor it doesn't really provide a lot of chances for interaction during meals. I recommend that you do not purchase the bumbo and just spend the little bit extra and invest in a high chair. They can be used a lot longer and they offer more comfort, more play splace, and more chances for interaction and learning for the baby.
