Advantages: Hands free baby care

Disadvantages: Be careful once baby starts getting out!!

When I first saw the price of the Bumbo Baby Seat I was a little put off. But after the good compliments I decided to invest in one for my nephew.

He was only three months old and could hold his own head up so it was safe to put him in it. He loved it. He was sitting up unaided by hands and seemed to enjoy the independence. My sister said it was the most useful thing I got her. She said when they were eating dinner at the table, she would set him up on the table and he would be calm because he could see everything that was going on. Also when she was busy doing the washing or other domestics she could pop him in the bumbo and he would be happy watching her.

Over time however the baby seemed to become annoyed at sitting in this chair even though he could not sit up alone yet. But I think it was due to being able to get out the chair and shuffle across the floor alone.

I would definately recommend a bumbo as they are made of a sponge material coated with something smooth so are comfortable for the baby, they seem to help the baby learn to sit up and also leaves mum or dads hands free for other tasks. My recommendation would be to get one as soon as aby can hold their own head up though as they don't seem to stay in them long!! - And definately worth the recommended retail price of £ 29.99.

Summary: Its worth the money!
