I'm on the fence with this one. Really only used during meal time, but his legs got chunky fast, and I don't think he enjoyed sitting in it. Didn't seem to help with sitting up. (Aug 06, 2015)

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
Spring Hill, Florida
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
Fairview, North Carolina
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
Renton, Washington
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
Milton, Florida
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
Van Meter, Iowa
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
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
Sneedville, Tennessee
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
Denver, Colorado
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
Bothell , Washington
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
St augustine , Florida
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
New Caney, Texas
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
Buford, Georgia
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

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
Winston Salem, North Carolina
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
Asheville, North Carolina
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
Cambridge , Canada
Not practical for chubbier babies. My sons thighs would get stuck and he was very uncomfortable with his posture. Feb 17, 2020
United States of America
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
New Kensington , Pennsylvania
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
Plainfield, Connecticut
Chunky thighs did not fit well. Chunky babies need not apply. Jan 29, 2020
Phenix city, Alabama
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
Page, Arizona
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
Gainesville, Florida
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
Sedalia, Missouri
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
Chino, California
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
Ashland, Alabama
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
Vero Beach, Florida
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
North Bay, Canada
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
