Advantages: none

Disadvantages: Loads, read my review!

Im a member of a parenting forum and one of the questions flying around this week is what was your most useless item you purchased for your baby.

Me and many others all agree that it has to be the Bumbo seat. But why I hear you cry, you can feed your child in it!...no, you cant. Firstly its very dangerous, I have heard several stories of mothers putting their child in it on the kichen table and the child makes a sudden movement and they can fly out as there is no safety strap. Also, why would you want to make your child sit up when they are not yet strong enough to able to support themselves in this way, (says you can use it from 4 months, most babies cannot sit up still 6 months) I would worry it could damage there little backs in some way. Also the people who have used the bumbo for feeding have disgusting looking baby food marks that do not wash off all over it, due to the material the bumbo os made from. So that, combined with it looking like a potty...well its just not nice, and the biggest waste of £29.99 you could make.

Summary: Total waste of money and worst of all, not safe.
