I wanted a Bumbo floor seat even before Savannah was born. I
finally got one a couple weeks ago as a gift from my mother. I also got a Bumbo
tray. These items are perfect for babies around the age of 3-7 months depending
on when they start to hold their heads up and when they start sitting up.
Bumbo is a company that specializes in products that will
heighten your child’s development. Their Bumbo floor seat is for babies who can
hold their heads up but cannot sit up yet. It is designed in a way that
supports the baby up into a sitting position so they can see and interact with
their surroundings. The Bumbo tray attaches to the floor seat so the baby has
an easy way to reach their toys.
There are a few things that I like about these products.
First of all my baby girl loves them! She is always excited when I put her in
the seat and she can sit up and look straight at me at the same time. Also I
like how the seat is made of foam, when I saw these seats in pictures I always
thought they were plastic but foam is obviously more comfortable than plastic.
The tray is such a great accessory to the seat because it is easy to put
together and put on and it makes play time a lot easier.
The only down that I can think of about these products is
the price of the floor seat. It is only $50 but when you are in your early 20s,
2 years into your marriage, still in school and have a baby $50 is a lot to
spend on a luxury item.
Even though it is over my budget I would highly recommend
that anyone who has a baby who can’t sit up yet or who is expecting that they
should purchase, or ask for, a bumbo floor seat and play tray.

We got one of these at our shower, but returned it when our little guy was around 4-5 months old. We just didn't use it, and there were other items that were needed more. I do, however, have several friends that loved their Bumbo seats!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree it is definitely not something that is needed, it is a luxury item, that is why my only downside of the product is the price.
DeleteMy daughter LOVED hers and we loved it. Asked for it for a shower gift :-)
ReplyDeleteYours was 50 bucks? We only paid about 35 but we just got the seat. I know that consignment shops will sell them (ours does for about 18 bucks for the seat), but I wanted a blue one. The straps are useless but they're only on the seat because some idiot parents will set it on a table with their baby in it and walk away and thei baby would be injured or killed because of their negligence.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I don't like about it is that if Joey eats even an hour before sitting in it, he spits up. Or he used to. He doesn't do that anymore. We use it know for a highchair but not everyday.
Well if you pay for it from their distributor's website listed on their website it is $50. I think mine is older we don't have the straps on it and I don't think they are necessary but I am always right there with her when she is in it.
DeleteHow did we ever grow up ourselves without one of these.
