bumbo seats
hello
just poking my head in from pregnancy forum!
was wondering if anyone has a bumbo seat and what opinions are on them
didn't have one with my first, but have seen then since then and it looks quite useful,
they are not too expensive, but didn't want to spend out if not that good
thanks

We bought one for my lil girl, and I think they are great. I did read some bad reviews about them (babies jumping out and getting hurt) but once she got a little too wriggly we stopped using it, and never left her alone in it. It was great when we starting weaning, like a portable high chair. And so easy to clean. She loved it to. We bought a pink one, and if we have a boy next time we'd def buy a blue one.
We have one for Ruby. I was desperate for one as thought she'd love it but she looks so uncomfortable in it and gets fed up within 10 minutes or so. I'm thinking of buying a bebepod which is a similar thing but looks much more comfortable xx
Cole hasn't been so keen on it but eventually i figured out he didn't like the tray over his legs so I took it off! He'll happily sit in it for a while to play, but its no good for feeding as he tends to lean over to the side and then drool food on the floor, plus he looks down a lot which doesn't help!!
I wish I'd bought it for him earlier (he was 4 montsh when we got it) as i think we'd have got a lot of use out of it from a lot younger.
It is actually pretty sturdy too.. when he gets fed up he tends to arch his back and lean backwards and the pod hasn't even come remotely close to tipping
i will certainly have a look at the bebepod as an alternative

He did use it a little bit but after about 5 mins of sitting in it, got restless and started moaning and arching backwards to get out. We don't really use it now so are thinking of putting it on ebay although imagine you lose quite a lot of money
I guess you can't tell really as some babies seem to really like them!
the bumbo like someone said makes their legs stick out, ollie was forever looking over the side of it and almost tipping it over, managing to arch his back and lift his bum high enough to get out of it. Not good.
we found that a walker helped ollie more than a bumbo, he still couldnt move it anywhere but it had an activity tray on it and was just as sturdy.
