Bumbo Baby Sitter Lilac

I just bought this, and usually my 3 mo old daughter takes time to get use to new things, she'll give it a try and not like it so much at first. When we brought this home we sat her in it and it was a hit right from the start. WE use to sit her in her bouncy chair, but it's not as upright she doesn't have the ability to look around as much and really a bouncy chair is only safe on the floor where as with this seat we sat her on the couch (our couch is a giant) and in different places and she really enjoyed being able to just sit and watch. The first time she used it she sat in there for 2 hours sucking on her hands joyfully. Absolutely love it!!

We have used the Bumbo seat since our daughter was about 4 months old. We are still using it to this day and she is now 7 months old. She is around 19 lbs and around 28 inches long. Her legs are a bit chunky and we have no problems. She is a longer baby but I would say unless your baby is a real chunky baby you will be fine. We actually delayed in buying this seat after reading a comment on here saying that the seat is only for a smaller baby. That statement is completely false in my opinion. I would say average to above average sized babies will be just fine for a long while. Great product!!! Our baby loves her chair.

I managed to borrow a bumbo baby sitter from a friend and starting placing my kid in it since he developed neck control. Even after a month, he's not been able to sit it in for more than 5 minutes at a time!

He keeps twisting himself into an awkward position such that one leg would jut out and the other leg would be retracted in. He also tends to slump over to one side of the chair and he frequently tries to "eat" the arm rest. I bought the bumbo tray table and stuck his toys on it but that hasn't changed anything. He looks really uncomfortable, nothing like the kid in the photo on amazon.

It only took a day or two to get him accustomed to the Evenflo exersaucer but with the bumbo, it's taking forever (maybe never)!

I think it's silly that reviews for the bumbo baby sitter are separated and categorized by the color of the chair! If you view the reviews of the bumbo in blue, you'd find some helpful critical comments there - with sound advice to...Read more
