Or something similar....do you have it and if so are you happy you got it? How long can baby use it for?

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

We never got one but my sister has it for her daughter and LOVES it!

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

I was going to post about this too

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

I really liked the Bumbo but honestly we didn't use it for long... maybe a month.

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

Olivia loved it but only used it for one month

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

i would recommend the bebe pod (by princelionheart company) a friend of mine has a baby same age as mine, she had the bumbo seat and told me she wished she had gotten the bebe pod she thinks its made better and more comfortable for the baby...hope this helps! my daughter LOVED it and i think its what got her to sit up on her own fast

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

At what age did you start sitting your babies in it?

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

the box says 4 months i put olivia in it at exactly 4 months.

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

DS loved his Bumbo. I think it was worth the purchase. He would play sitting in there, you can feed him sitting in it, I read books to him while he sits in there, ect. The box states 3 + months for use. DS is 8 months and still using it. I have even seen people bring them into the resteruants to sit their babies in. I haven't done that, but seen it.

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

i sat Bella in it at 3 months...however she only used it until about 5 months when she learned to sit on her own. She actually learned how to arch her way out of the seat!!! i did also feed,and read to her when she was sitting in it. It was worth the money but every baby is different, my baby is now 10 months and is not into sittting she is more interested in crawling and crusing furnature! its a great product for that in between stage of sitting on there own. Bella was too small for her high chair so for the months she used the bebe pod it was a great place to put her to eat...it was also great for traveling!!! i HIGHLY reccoment the bebe pod over the bumbo seat ...good luck!

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

I just got the bumbo, DS likes to sit in it and watch tv. He is three months and I figured if nothing else it will help him build the muscles he needs to sit up on his own.

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

I have it and have been using it since my son was 3 1/2 months. He is now a little over four months. He loves it. But I don't know how long we will use it for.

He likes it because he can sit up in it. But honestly, its a bit pricey for what it is.

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

DD likes it. She is so cute in it!!! Plus it is great when I have to go to the bathroom.

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

We got the Be Be Pod and DD seems to like it She stays no where too long though!

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

I've been putting Michael in the Bumbo for a few weeks now. It's hysterical- he looks so cute in it! I put him in it when I'm in the kitchen and I need to put him down for a second or when we're eating dinner, he sits at the table with us. We love it!

See I know I would love it but it's like $40 and I can't see spending that for something she will only use for like a month

I know! Had I known he was only going to last a month in it, I probably would not have gotten it. I started putting him in it at 4 months also.

Also if your baby has very chunky thighs, they'll outgrow it fast too. The leg holes are really not that big.

ETA: Since it's used for such a short period of time, do you want to borrow mine?

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

I loved it!! I used it to feed him in from the time he was 4 months until about 8 months.

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

never heard of it..looks cute though,.

You are too sweet...but Grandpa was just over and I was talking about it and he said he will pick it up for her...gotta love Grandpas

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

I had it, but by the time I got it, Gianni was already sitting and starting to crawl (5 months) so I returned it because he hated it.

Here's a pic of Jordana in hers-


and then she fell asleep in it.

Re: Bumbo Baby Sitter

we hardly use ours. brendan likes beiing able to sit up in it, but he will only sit in it for about 5 minutes and he's always trying to chew on the piece that goes between the legs so he's all slumped over. it's ridiculous!
