Test a friends before buying if possible,

I love the concept of the bumbo however it never really worked for my daughter. She would always end up flopping over to one side in search of a toy that she dropped so I could never get her to stay in it for more than a few minutes at a time. I tried to add the tray (which is not easy to get on)thinking that would help with the problem but it didn't.
I know friends whose kids loved the bumbo so my advice would be to borrow one from a friend first to see if it is worth buying your own. Every baby is different and this is definitely one baby product that can be really useful or just another colorful thing to collect dust and take up closet space.

I really like the idea of the Bumbo baby sitter. I really, really do... but the short story is... my baby never did.
I bought it for him around 4 months because he was displaying such interest (really from about 3 months) of wanting to sit up on his own. Like another reviewer's baby, he is a bit on the short and chubby side and consequently found the leg holes of the Bumbo a bit too tight and, thus, uncomfortable. As soon as I put him in it, he would arch his back trying to get out. (To the Bumbo's credit, he never could and the Bumbo never tipped... but I did put some pillows behind him just in case he managed to get out or topple the whole thing over one day!) We tried him in it several times for a few minutes at a time over the course of a 4-5 weeks -- waiting to see if he'd get used to it -- but, alas, he never did. (What ended up working best was what I initially started with... the *infamous* Boppy pillow. And now at 6.5 months, he can sit on his own... sooooo...Read more

Worth the Buy!!!!!!,

I usually do not write reviews on items I have purchased or used, but felt I needed regarding Bumbo. I have a 5 month old daughter and she has been using the Bumbo for the last 2.5 months. This is a GREAT product! It offers supports and free yours hands when things need to be done around the home. I have a bouncer, a carrier, swing, play mat, and a pack-n-play. Besides her crib and changing table, this is the other product I use numerous times a day. This is worth the buy!
In addition, my best friend also purchased Bumbo for her Special Needs daughter who is 3. She is unable to walk or support herself upright. While visiting our home, we placed her child in the Bumbo and were suprised at how it formed to her body and weight as well. My dear friend immediatly purchased her own Bumbo for herself and one to keep at her parent's home.
You won't regret buying this product.
