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.
