Bumbo Baby Sitter- Help infants sit
Do you have a child under 12 months old and NOT have a Bumbo Baby Sitter? You need one! I recommend it to every new parent. The Bumbo Baby Sitter allows babies who can hold up their head to sit up independently (usually around 6-8 weeks of age). The way the Bumbo wraps around your child provides a snug and cozy environment for your baby. It doesn’t require any straps- the seat is lower than the leg area so baby sits up straight and is supported by the high back. Made from a single piece of low-density foam material, the Bumbo Seat is lightweight, portable, soft, comfortable, safe, hygienic, and non-toxic. It can be used safely and conveniently on the floor.
I truly believe it helped Anya sit independently at an early age because she was able to develop her stomach and back muscles more. We used ours in the bathroom and kitchen so she could hang out with us while we were, well, you know, doing things. We moved it between rooms, but with the next kid, we’ll have one for each room! Anya started getting out of it herself around 13-14 months, so we don’t use it anymore, but I know of other toddlers who enjoy sitting in theirs while they watch TV because it’s so comfortable.
CBB guest reviewer Lisa who first told me about the Bumbo says, "Gwyn absolutleyLOVES her Bumbo. I got it when she was 6 months and plopped her downand she sat in it happy for 30 minutes. I love it because it is solightweight that I can take it anywhere and I can carry it while I amholding her at the same time. I took it when we went out to eat. I tookit when we went to other peoples’ homes. I took it when I went outside. Ilove this seat. She is content in the Bumbo and I amnot worried about her falling out."
It makes the perfect gift for a baby shower or new parents. It’s also excellent for babies with Gastro Esophageal Reflux and children with special needs.
If you have a Bumbo Baby Sitter, you need the new Bumbo Tray. So manytimes I wished that there was something to attach a toy tobecause Anya would frequently drop her toy and be unable to reach itherself. It attaches to the seat and provides a place to eat or play.All you have to do is place the baby securely into the Baby Sitter andpush the Play Tray securely into the Baby Sitter. Make sure the leg ofthe Play Tray is firmly around the middle of the Baby Sitter and yourchild will be ready to play or eat.
