  • 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

  • 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

  • We used this, but it didn’t work for very long because I had a chunky baby and his legs didn’t fit in it after 6 months. I also found that it could easily tip over. May 03, 2019

    I like the bumbo to get my youngest off of the floor and decrease the risk of a flat spot. And both of my kids enjoyed sitting up in it. However, I find it’s time for use to be quite limited. Apr 17, 2019

  • My husband loves the bumbo. I do not. I think my daughter learned to sit on her own just fine. He used it all the time. I prefer the high chair. My daughter was 50/50, sometimes she liked it. Apr 04, 2019

  • My girl loves sitting in this; really nice to have an item where she can be fully upright Mar 11, 2019

  • It’s not hip friendly, since it keeps them in there so tightly... and I don’t like that it can tip over easily if you have a squirmy baby. Will not recommend. Get a different baby seat. Dec 17, 2018

  • My babies’ legs were a little too chunky for the bimbo seats. By the time they were able to sit up in the seat, their legs were too big to fit comfortably in the seat. Great idea , though!! Dec 15, 2018

  • I definitely loved this. My children loved to sit in this to eat when they started baby foods. Or just to play. It was easy to clean and easy to store. Oct 17, 2018

  • We loved this seat because it was easy to put our son in when we needed to get ready in the mornings. He didn't mind the seat at all and seemed comfortable in it. Sep 16, 2018

  • My baby liked sitting in this for a different position, but i didnt find it "essential" and couldve gone without. Aug 25, 2018

    My grandson used this product for 3 weeks. It seemed to me that he was to small for it then fit well then leaned over the side and crawled out! Aug 25, 2018

  • Works well to help infants sit up. My babies had such chunky thighs the would get stuck in there. Nice that you can attach a tray and let them have a snack while on the floor. Aug 04, 2018

  • $40 for something that my baby's thighs didn't even fit in. Also, I only read the negatives about baby development in these AFTER I bought it. Ugh. Jun 18, 2018

  • Terrible for baby, but even if you wanted to use it the leg openings didn't even fit my 4 mo old! Make sure your baby can sit up well before putting them in this! May 25, 2018

  • This was a great help for our daughter to work on sitting up when she wasn't quite there. We also used it with the tray for a traveling high chair (always supervised when on raised surface) May 18, 2018

  • Clever idea but not a huge fan. My baby never looked comfortable in it so I used it sparingly. May 04, 2018

  • I wasn't as big a fan of the bumbo as I had hoped. It was nice to sit baby close to me while I was doing things but I felt like she flopped around too easily in this. May 01, 2018

  • This was a hand me down but I don’t like it, neither does baby. He’s chunky but he’s 5 months old and can still fit 3 months so he’s really not very big but the middle digs in to his knees Apr 30, 2018

  • Good for short periods of time, I feel like my babies sit awkward. Not a must have for my little ones. Mar 30, 2018

  • got this for my daughter at 4 months- when she was trying to sit up. She never liked it and we found it more a pain to get her in/out then i was a useful product. Mar 29, 2018

    I thought this would be such a useful item but unfortunately my baby's chunky legs were just not fitting there properly. he was getting agitated every time i tried using it. maybe for smaller babies? Mar 15, 2018

  • I really liked this baby seat, my baby enjoys being in it! The only thing is it’s a little tricky to get baby out of sometimes there legs get stuck. Mar 10, 2018

    • Swedesboro, New Jersey

    I know this is super popular, but my daughter grew out of it so quickly. I didn't think it was worth the full retail. My daughter had strong head control pretty quickly, so this wasn't necessary! Mar 10, 2018

  • The Bumbo is a must have for all my babies! Out of my 4 that have used it so far they have all loved it and I love having a safe place to sit them when they can't quite sit up by themselves yet. Mar 02, 2018

  • I don’t understand the appeal of this. By the time my son could hold his head up, his thighs were too big for the seat. When I tried putting him in it, he cried. He much preferred sitting in my lap. Feb 23, 2018

    • Talor S.

    • Shelby Township, Michigan

    Our little girl can't quite sit up on her own but doesn't like to be laying down most of the time so she really enjoys being able to sit up in this seat! Feb 20, 2018

  • This was handy as a makeshift booster/high chair, but it really didn’t work for us. The material is very soft and moveble but it’s bulky and takes up a lot of space. Feb 16, 2018
