Bumbo Baby Seat Review

I received a Bumbo chair for my fifth son, and couldn't wait, after all these things are all the rage. My son started to sit in it around 3 months of age, and seemed to like it ok, I loved how easy it was to feed him in it, and it was so soft, not at all hard, seemed like it would be comfortable. I would recommend using it as a prtable feeding chair, and there are even handy little trays you can buy seperate, which I did not have.

As my son got better coordinated, he would sit in it and play, and if he happened to drop his toys, he was close enough to the floor that he could reach the toys himself! Beware, this chair should not be used on an elevated surface, and I will exp[lain why in just a moment. The molded leg openings were great in that he wasn't slipping out of the seat.

Basically this chair was a godsend until my son reached about 6 months of age, at which time, he started to arch his back, and try to squirm more, and he popped himself right out of this chair! Luckily I had only used it on the floor, so he just really scared himself. The design of the molded seat is great, but if the child is able to arch their back just enough, their legs pop right up out of the leg holes, and they can fall back.
