Bumbo Play Tray

I bought the Bumbo play tray to use with my Bumbo baby sitter just before my daughter learnt how to throw herself out the chair itself. I though that using the tray would keep her more secure and stop her falling out head first, but it didnt. The top of the tray slots onto the centre pillar of the Bumbo between the babies legs but the way the bottom is secured is not very secure in my opinion. There is a 2 cm flat piece of plastic which is designed to go under the bumbo to keep it tight and in place, but because the Bumbo itself is squidgy, it isnt very easy to push underneath with one hand and I found that I had to lean the Bumbo backwards a little and use ...  Read the complete review

I bought a Bumbo seat for my son a few weeks ago & he does now seem to enjoy sitting in it for a while (which is great - gives me a free pair of hands for a few minutes!). Trouble is, he can't DO anything when he's sat in it. I can put a toy in his hands but he soon loses his grip & drops it & is then unable to retrieve it. This then, is where the Bumbo play tray comes in... The tray is a cream coloured piece of plastic into which the supporting stem can be inserted. This then clips over the central part of the Bumbo seat & underneath the front edge of the Bumbo. The tray is a good size - quite capable of holding a few small toys for baby ...  Read the complete review

If you read my review of the Bumbo seat, you'll find that I'm not keen on the product but the tray is probably worth buying as it keeps your little one pinned into the seat. It would also be worth buying if you have an older baby who likes sitting in the seat as you could then use the tray for finger foods. The tray is white and retails at around £10-£13. This is the second version of the tray, the first was absolutely useless. This tray is very secure once it's on but that is the problem, you have to attach the tray after you have put the child in and as there is a lip which has to go underneath the whole thing, you have to tilt the seat back with the chills ...  Read the complete review

We bought a bumbo tray when we bought a bumbo for our 5 month old son. The tray comes in quite handy and can be used to attached sucker toys to it for the baby to play with. We have found however that the sucker toys that we have dont seem to stick very well. We have used the same toys on his highchair without any problems. It is useful to put toys on it which my son likes to play with such as rattles etc and when he drops them they land on the tray rather than the floor which means that he can reach them to pick them up again. The tray is a bit tricky to get on and off however with a bit of practice it isnt a problem. The tray is wipe down too so easy to keep ...  Read the complete review

i got a cheap bumbo from ebay for my son as my daughter didn't like hers, so I wasn't prepared to pay full price and my mate couldn't find hers to lend me. I had looked at these to go with it, but it wasn't until i was sure he liked the bumbo that i decided to go ahead and buy the play tray. They're £9.99 from mothercare, but if you dont have a mothercare locally, I have seen them on ebay at varying prices, but they're usually more expensive as you have to then add on postage costs. This is a great idea as it adds another option to the bumbo, making it suitable for playing if you add a suction highchair toy, or as an alternative to a highchair as you can give them finger ...  Read the complete review
