  • I've heard mixed thoughts about bumbos, but I've never noticed any issue with it. I will say that my baby was still late to sit unassisted despite having used the bumbo several times. Jun 01, 2023

  • We NEVER used this as I felt I would have had to squish my babies into it. They were both under the 50th percentile for weight and still, their legs were too big to fit in the holes. Feb 08, 2023

  • My 5 month does not like this seat. She seems uncomfortable and leans a lot in this. Nov 18, 2022

  • Wanted to love this but really just couldn't see the point in it. It nearly suffocates babies legs since it is so snug. It really does not do anything to benefit their development of motor skills. Jul 27, 2022

    This seat is not safe for baby’s hips. It forces her body to be out of natural alignment. I also worry that she would topple out prior to her legs getting chunkier. Jun 22, 2022

  • This is a must in my opinion when having a kid. Great for sitting them in when you don’t have a seat. I liked to use mine on the couch and when we were first giving our little one food. Apr 06, 2022

  • Good to use with the removable tray for a little on-the-go high chair, but my babies didn’t love sitting in it otherwise. Feb 17, 2022

  • When you're visiting a friends house and can't bring a whole high chair this really comes in handy! Jan 13, 2022

  • Useful to secure baby of a certain age when I needed two hands to do something, but was shortlived as she could only tolerate sitting in it for no more than 5 mins. Glad I had it, but quickly outgrew. Nov 12, 2021

  • My son hated sitting in this. The back is too straight and somehow still provided no support and seemed uncomfortable. Aug 24, 2021

  • I really like this, but now that they’ve updated to bigger leg holes and trays this one falls short. If you baby has chubby legs this might not be for you. My daughter always got stuck getting out Aug 15, 2021

  • Loved the Bumbo - worked well for a long time with our little girl (she has very thin legs) but for my sweet nephew it didn't last long (amazing chubby thighs) Aug 11, 2021

    Was given this (new) & the older version W/O the buckle (hand me down) & preferred the latter. I only used this when I was supervising & when my baby wasn’t all that mobile. She & I both enjoyed this! Jun 01, 2021

  • My son never fit as his thighs were too big. And my daughter legs lay weird in this seat and she is tall and I don’t like how it forced her body in an odd posture. May 19, 2021

  • Both of my boys had no desire in sitting in this seat...the fray that came with it was way to easy for them to take off so we never used ours. May 16, 2021

    We only used for helping with feeding. Apr 01, 2021

  • I think Bumbo's are great for grandparent's houses or just on the go when you need to place baby in something that can keep them safe. I also like the tray for feeding snacks on the go. Mar 25, 2021

  • My poor baby has chunky legs and they always got stuck in this seat. I ended up getting a different kind of chair for her to sit in. Jan 26, 2021

    This is a good seat for baby when they have good head control. Warning - babies with chubby legs do not fit in this and can get stuck and/or uncomfortable in it. Dec 26, 2020

    • Lexi J.

    • Thomasville, Georgia

    My baby’s legs where to fat for this :( I mean he fit but it was very tight, he also would fussy because he couldn’t move around much. Dec 14, 2020

  • I wouldn’t spend money on this, if someone gave it to me ok that’s fine. Otherwise it’s one of those items you can do without and can prop your baby up with pillows instead. Nov 01, 2020

  • Our child loved her Bumbo. The Bumbo allows your baby to sit up and see his/her surroundings and that made our baby very happy. Plan on definitely using it again with our next baby! It's a MUST HAVE Oct 19, 2020

  • My baby enjoyed this seat. Its nice to have lots of safe options to place your baby down. I will likely repurchase this for my 2nd baby. Sep 14, 2020

  • This is a great seat to help you child sit up before they can balance themselves alone. It’s safe but as they get mobile some try to escape which may cause it to tip over . Just aleYs watch thrm Jul 24, 2020

    I seldom used it and felt like it wasn't great for a babies back. I wanted my baby to learn to use their muscles. Jul 23, 2020

  • Got this thinking it would be awesome, however, my sister who’s an OT said it isn’t good for babies development of their trunk muscles and forces a baby to sit incorrectly. Does more harm than good. Jun 20, 2020

  • Love everything about the idea of this chair except it has narrow leg-holes that didn't fit my chunky thighed babies. Jun 04, 2020

  • We have this and I'm mixed on it. It seems like my kids won't sit in it long. The idea is great, just not used much in my house. Apr 20, 2020

  • Last for years Apr 19, 2020

  • We started using this when baby was 5 months old and it gives him good back support. Also use this during feeding time and it works great for us. Apr 15, 2020

  • I got this as a shower gift and used it once baby didnt like it..too tight around legs Apr 11, 2020

  • We loved our Bumbo Baby Seat! Served us through 2 babies! Apr 06, 2020

  • I loved the bumbo for assisting in getting my son to sit up and with feedings! Mar 11, 2020

  • We love the Bumbo seats. Some even come with attachments. Helps with the cranky babies who can't quite sit up but don't want to lie down. Can double as a feeding seat on the road. Mar 05, 2020

  • Not recommended by the AAP (american academy of pediatrics) and can actually prevent your child from sitting up on their own at the appropriate time. Dangerous fall risk if child left in it on counter Feb 28, 2020

  • Not practical for chubbier babies. My sons thighs would get stuck and he was very uncomfortable with his posture. Feb 17, 2020

    A friend gave this to me. I thought the bumbo chair was going to be useful. It is not. When my baby couldn't sit on his own, it seemed unsafe and now that he can he doesn't want to sit in it. Feb 07, 2020

  • This was passed down to me. My daughter hated being in it. Maybe she was to old when we started her in it at 5 months. I also heard reviews that it wasn’t good for the child’s hips. Jan 30, 2020

  • Chunky thighs did not fit well. Chunky babies need not apply. Jan 29, 2020

  • I love the fact that my baby can sit own his own but he has chunky legs so they tend to get stuck. Jan 10, 2020

  • Hmmm, my son is always moving. I can see him potentially tipping this. Im not to sure it helped him sitting but he's sitting with little help now. I don't know if I would recommend or not recommend. Dec 26, 2019

  • This was helpful to give my baby girl some support with sitting up but unfortunately she has some chubby legs and didn't fit into this for long Dec 18, 2019

  • Didn’t really use it but it comes in handy when they start leaning to sit and get better trunk and neck control Nov 26, 2019

  • I hate these. Babies chunky thighs get stuck in them and it seems to put baby in an awkward position. Nov 10, 2019

  • When transitioning out of the boppy, this seat provided a great alternative to help a supported sitter become more independent. Sep 22, 2019

  • This was a gift. It’s cute and useful! Not ideal for kiddos with chunky thighs though. But has been great with helping baby sit up and develop those muscles. Aug 19, 2019

  • loved this seat. Baby sat nice and snug. Could even use it in the shower. Easy to clean and light weight, but won't tip over. Aug 10, 2019

  • This seat has been incredibly useful on some occasions, but I don’t use it as much as I thought I would. My 6 month old will eat while seated in this when I go to my in laws. That’s all I use it for. Aug 02, 2019

  • Great for them to learn how to sit. Easy to clean and transport for travel Jun 11, 2019

  • My son was too chubby to fit in this seat. Jun 05, 2019
