Bumbo Baby Seat Review Summary

Young toddlers will love the Bumbo Baby Seat and our reviewers like this seat mostly for its use as a tool to help children learn how to sit upright. The Bumbo Baby Seat has other great features as well, like its stability, its lightweight construction, and its portability. The Bumbo Baby Seat “Does an Awesome Job Helping Little Ones Sit Upright” and it serves as a great introductory baby seat. Our reviewers agree that it tends to be a little pricey for a booster seat, but they also agree that the Bumbo Baby Seat is a pretty good High Chair/Baby Seat that serves an important purpose.

Bumbo Baby Seat with tray

One of favorite friends has two children the same ages as my own, 9 and 5.  Last year she was blessed with a surprise baby number three after giving away all of her baby equipment.  During a play-date I asked her what was new in the baby department.  Specifically, I asked...

Let me be the first to say, I don't understand the hype behind this product.  While I was pregnant with my second son, my mother-in-law saw the Bumbo Baby Seat on a talk show, bought one, and gave it to me because "her grandson needed one."  Why?  Don't babies sit up on their own when they are ready? ...

Bumbo Baby Seat

What is it?
The Bumbo Baby Seat is a sturdy seat for infants to sit upright in.  It comes with a tray that helps hold baby in place.  This seat is recommended for infants who can hold their heads up on their own.

My Viewpoint!
I kept hearing all the craze about the Bumbo Baby Seat but hadn't come across one yet and loved the idea of a seat that lets baby sit up all by herself.  After getting my hands on one, I have to say that I am a fan.  It reminds me of a booster seat for toddlers but is more defined so baby can sit erect without falling over.  I love the tray that comes with...

I am one of many moms who does not believe this product should have been recalled.  The product and packaging clearly state that child must never be left on an elevated surface or unattended.  The recall was based on children falling off of counters or tabletops while in the Bumbo.  No product is safe under these conditions.

The Bumbo was convenient for me, as a busy working mom, who could not always hold her baby while keeping busy.  My toddler likes to watch a little TV while getting ready in the morning and the Bumbo seat kept her sister busy while I was bustling around getting ready in the...

We started using the Bumbo seat for our daughter when she was about 4 months old.  She was very alert and interested in the things going on around her and hated to be in a position where she couldn't see the whole room.  With the Bumbo, she was able to sit uprite and watch anything we were doing and play with the toys we gave her.  Because it is small and portable, we could take it with us when we traveled so that she could always sit up.

When we started feeding her baby cereal, we used the Bumbo instead of a high chair because she was so little.  Even reclined in a high chair she slumped...

We purchased this for our little girl when she was about four months old.  She was always wanting to sit upright, but didn't have the strength.  This chair allowed her to sit up and see the world.  The base was very stable, so I didn't have to worry about her tipping.  We loved taking it out to eat.  She wasn't big enough to sit in a high chair by herself and we were tried of trying to eat holding a grabby baby.  This solved our problems.  I highly recommend this seat.

The Bumbo is a life saver!  I love this seat and my son has used it from the time he was 6 months old.  He is now 14 months old and still sits in this chair to eat his snack.  The seat is a bit pricey and the color choices are a bit odd, but I believe that it is one of the best purchases I made.  The seat is very comfortable for my son and seems to be very sturdy.  It definitely comes in handy when you are travelling as well.

I bought this for my niece when she was 4 months old.  She loved to sit in my lap but got frustrated when she couldn't do it on her own.  (Miss Independent just like her aunt.)  This seat allowed her to sit up and see the world and it kept her from falling over and getting frustrated.  Even after she was sitting up on her own she would still sit in it because it protected her a little more from the hardwood floors!

I absolutey love this chair I have used it for both of my kids, and it is the best thing.  I also have the tray that you can purchase separatly.  This chair works great to help your baby learn how to sit up, or if you just need to keep them contained for awhile.  We take this chair camping with us, so I don't have to bring a high chair.  This is the best thing ever made, I always buy these for baby gifts!

We loved the Bumbo! My daughter is very aware of her surroundings, and in the begining wanted to be a part of everything. The Bumbo was great because she was able to sit up "on her own" in the Bumbo. This is not a seat for infants who are able to sit on there own, but a seat for those on their way! This is now my favorite gift to give the expecting Mom.

I love the Bumbo Seat! My daughter Sabrina even now at 11 months still loves it too! Its safe, practical and comfortable too! Everything I look for in a child seat! Not only that but it helped her to learn to sit up on her own faster, and it gave me a place to put her where she would be content while I worked in the room. Thanks Bumbo!

This was a great product for me.  It was easy to feed my infant in if I didn't want to put her in the highchair.  Also great for travel!  I took this to my mom's house while she was babysitting my daughter and it worked out great.  The only thing is when my daughter got a bit older she was able to arch out of the seat.  But for the time it was used it worked out well.  She loved sitting in it to watch the Noggin Channel. It gave great back support!  You could find good deals on E-bay so you don't have to pay full price on this item.  Very light to pack and travel!

We bought this for my son and were VERY pleased with our purchase.  It was a great porable high chair, we even brought it to resturants and placed him on the table with us (in a booth with him on the inside) so he didn't have to sit in his carseat the whole time.  We used it quite often.  Then our daughter came along and she had terrible reflux problems and she couldn't sit in the Bumbo because the pressure the part between her legs put on her belly made her spit up constantly.  So we didn't get much use out of it with her, but my son still sits in it sometimes to watch TV just because he thinks...

When my mother purchased this for me and my son, I initially thought it looked a little strange and was not sure how much I would use it. I also thought that it was a little expensive. I ended up using it like crazy! My son was not old enough to sit up on his own yet, which made getting things done very difficult. I had tried laying him down on a blanket, putting him in a bouncy chair, but he did not like to be reclined or laying down. After getting the Bumbo Seat, anytime I needed to set my son down to do dishes, unload the dish washer, fold clothes, etc., I would place him in it. He was... review »

My daughter was born three months early and as such had a myriad of health problems.  One of those problems was reflux.  She had to be fed while sitting upright as opposed to most infants who would recline while eating.  Plus, she had to remain upright for at least 30 minutes after finishing her bottle.

As soon as she was able to hold her head up by herself, we started using the Bumbo.  Not only did she love it but it made meal times easier for us.  Even if I still held her occasionally while feeding her, she would easily transition to the Bumbo after her bottle while I was able to rinse...
