As soon as your baby has neck and head control the Bumbo will help your baby sit up by itself until he or she can sit unsupported! Its ergonomical design allows the baby's weight to keep the baby in a comfortable upright position. It is VERY comfortable for babies in that it is made from a soft, lightweight, non-toxic material (not hard plastic).

This is perfect for babies who are between the stages of lying down all the time and sitting up by themselves - the baby who wants to sit up but just can't do it alone yet! Remember all those toys you purchased for your baby that he or she can lay under and play with, then later convert to a toy a sitting baby can play with? A child inbetween the stages of lying down and sitting doesn't have much use for these toys right? Well All that is about to change! With the Bumbo baby seat your baby can now sit upright and play with those toys that convert to sitting baby toys! Below is a picture of my baby sitting in the Bumbo and playing with a "Sitting Baby" toy! He is SO interested and content that I couldn't get him to look at me and smile for the picture!

I have personally had this problem with my son! He didn't enjoy laying under these baby gyms anymore. He would roll over and be uninterested! However, he couldn't yet sit up by himself for me to be able to convert the baby gyms to the sitting baby position. So, I purchased him a Bumbo and "BAM!", he can be happy with his toys! He will sit happily for more than an hour playing and laughing.

As you can tell, this baby seat is great for extending the use of floor toys! But it doesn't end there! The smooth, rubbery texture of the Bumbo means easy wiping if it gets dirty! Which makes it a good seat for feeding. Especially on-the-go feeding!

If your baby has older siblings (like mine!) that want to sit and play and you've been worried the baby may topple over, WORRY NO MORE! Now your baby can sit with brothers and sisters, comfortable and safely and have that quality sibling time that ALL babies need! Not to mention its good for the siblings to have that quality time with their baby brother or sister!

Need something quick, small and lightweight to take to Grandmother's house for baby to play in? Grab the Bumbo and GO! It's size makes it VERY convenient to "Grab and GO".

Bottom Line: The Bumbo baby seat is great for extending the use of floor toys, feeding, travel, and possible any other idea you may have!

PS - I have a "big" baby and have no problems with this seat at all! I have heard other's say they have trouble with the seat due to having a larger baby. At 6 months my baby is wearing 12-18 month clothing! HE LOVES THIS SEAT!!
