Best Baby Strollers

The Bumbo is the best baby seat on the market bar none. I began using a Bumbo baby seat when my son was only 10 weeks old and I still occasionally use it as a booster seat now that he is nearly 2. I like the Bumbo baby seat so much that I give it to every new mother I know.

The Bumbo baby seat is designed to help babies sit up on their own as soon as they can hold up their heads independently. Each Bumbo is made of a single piece of lightweight low-density foam, making it very easy to travel with. The Bumbo seat is specially designed to conform to a baby’s body, holding her in such a way that sitting upright is natural and easy. The Bumbo baby seat’s bottom is lower than the leg openings. This position allows the baby to sit up and relieves pressure on the lower spine. My baby would sit happily in his Bumbo for up to an hour at a time.

The Bumbo baby seat is extremely convenient for moms. If you have a baby with reflux, the Bumbo is a godsend because it allows your baby to sit up after eating, keeping food down in baby’s stomach where it belongs. The Bumbo baby seat is also a good way to help your baby strengthen his core muscles and prevent flat spots on his head. Best of all, the Bumbo is like an extra set of hands. Instead of having to carry your baby everywhere, you can sit her in the Bumbo baby seat while you do dishes, get dinner on the table, or just take a few minutes for yourself.

The Bumbo baby seat is also a dream to travel with. I always take my Bumbo to restaurants so I don’t have to worry about germy highchairs or booster seats. My relatives have a beach house, and the Bumbo baby seat was great on the sand. The Bumbo also serves as a travel high chair, making it easy to feed baby while on vacation.

While I was using my Bumbo baby seat there wasn’t any sort of tray attachment, but now Bumbo makes a play tray that easily attaches to the Bumbo and lets your child entertain or feed herself. The lack of tray was my only complaint about the Bumbo baby seat, and now I can’t even whine about that anymore.

The Bumbo baby seat is easy to clean and store because it is so compact. The only danger with the Bumbo baby seat is that it can lull parents into a false sense of security. Never leave a baby unattended in a Bumbo, and don’t use the Bumbo baby seat on high tables or counters unless you are sitting within arms-reach of it. Bumbo adds that the Bumbo baby seat is not for use in the bath, but that seems pretty obvious since it’s made of foam and clearly floats.

I don’t hesitate to call the Bumbo baby seat an essential piece of baby gear. Every mother needs a Bumbo, and so does every baby.
