Bumbo Baby Seat Review

We got one of these at a local thrift store for an amazing SIX dollars!  (Name brand even.)  I was so excited, I couldn't wait to get it home (clean it) and try it out on our three month old.  So... we got home, I cleaned it, waited until he was in a good mood, and put him into it.  Well, PUT isn't the right word, I wedged him into it really.  He loved the seat, but only for about 5 minutes, which was a good start, and when I went to pick him back up, I actually had to stand on the seat while lifting him up.  We tried it maybe three more times, and it didn't go well.  The last time I used it, I actually had to have my husband help me pry the baby out of it!  (I had just needed a place to set him while I went potty and my husband was cooking)  We got rid of it that day.  I have heard all sorts of good things about it, but it just really didn't work for me...

By the way, my son was born large, 11 pounds even, and at three months he was just shy of 20 pounds.
