A few years back now well 2 and a half anyway we looked high and low for one of these bumbo chairs. This was when they took the UK b storm I do believe. We got one thought in babies r us. Though the only colour left was Aqua. Which was a nice colour actually. ========== The Bumbo Chair. ========== From what I can make out. The Bumbo chair came from South Africa and is one of the most clever inventions yet. Then went onto take America by storm and then the UK by storm a couple of year backs. Today they are still taking the world by storm,. Bumbo is designed so that the baby's own body weight helps to slightly narrow ...  Read the complete review

When Hollie was around three months old I realised I wasn't an octopus and couldn't actually use one arm to hold her 24 hours a day AND do all the cooking and cleaning I needed to do around the house. She's definitely one of *those* babies who want picking up all the time and she has always hated lying down unless she was tired. A friend of mine suggested I buy a Bumbo so Hollie could get used to being on her own and have a small amount of independence in that she would be sitting by herself. With the added bonus, of course, of freeing up my hands to get on with the housework. A Bumbo is a clever design, one of those 'in yer face' products that ...  Read the complete review

bought one of these for my first child when he was about 2 months old. He was able to hold his head up by then so we used it straight away. He loved being able to sit up and see the world from a different level and was kept entertained for ages by gyms etc placed at an appropriate height. The bumbo is specially designed to help babies sit up and in a comfy and correct sitting position. I believe it helped both my children sit independently from an earlier age than perhaps they would have without it. Its wipe clean and soft to touch and babies are unable to get out so they are perfectly safe. Both my children stopped using these by 5/6 months as they could sit ...  Read the complete review

I first spotted the Bumbo when I was working in a children's hospital and one of the long term patients' parents had brought one in for their little one. It looked great! They could sit up, look around, even eat while sat in there, much better than lying on their back in the cot not being about to see what's going on around them. Therefore when I found out I was having my little one, I had to get one. The Bumbo is a little chair designed for babies to sit unaided from around 4 months, or whenever they can support their own head. My little one is 14 weeks and can support his head so he is using it now. I haven't seen any other equivalent brand bring anything ...  Read the complete review

With a plethora of accessories for babies around, it's sometimes really hard to work out what you should and shouldn't buy. Most parents will tell you to go for what suits your child best as all babies are unique and will be more suited to some things than others, but obviously until you try something you just don't really know. The Bumbo won an award for innovation, which is always a good clue that it may be worth buying, and after speaking to many friends who have babies and Bumbos, we decided to get one. The Bumbo at first glance looks like a soft foam potty. It's a concave seat with high sides and two curved grooves at the front for the legs. The idea is ...  Read the complete review
