I purchased this seat for my now 8 month old niece who at the time was almost four months. She has used it now when she is at her grandma’s house, her 28 month old sister uses it every once in a while when she needs a boost to the table. She fits in it well, they both love it.

I live in Wisconsin, so I am a United States citizen, but what’s wrong with us? Who would ever think its acceptable to leave their baby alone on a counter in a chair? We as a society need to take responsibility for our own actions, and not blame manufacturers for our own mistakes and sue them. That’s why they had to do the recall.

Sami-
I`m working as a childrens`nurse and here in Europe it is highly recommended not to put babies in upright chairs,strollers etc. because their back and neck are not strong enough to carry the weight. That may cause problems of their spine.
Even the popular Baby Björn is not recommended over here because of the position babies have in it.

Kristin,

Where did you hear the sitting rule from? I only ask b/c my mother-in-law has said the same thing and I’ve seen other comments here on CBB to that effect and I wonder if there is a kernel of truth in it somewhere? My doctor says infant car seats and Bumbos are fine, but I’m curious to know the basis for the belief that you shouldn’t put babies in a sitting position until they can sit without help.

We’ve been using the Bumbo since my daughter was 3 months old. She is now 4 months and can sit up on her own using her hands for support, but we have to put her in a seated position first. She can’t get there on her own from her back or tummy.

Look at him, he doesnt even look old enough to sit up! He’s such a cutie pie handsome The bumbo seat is a must have.

Kristin,
The Bumbo is only to be used by babies that have good head and neck control most babies have great head and neck control before they are able to sit unassisted. The Bumbo can safely be used by babies that can sit well while assisted.

Clever idea.
But shouldn`t it be only used by babies that can sit on their own?
That is something that I hear everytime with strollers: babies shouldn`t sit in an upright position until they can sit without help.

He is ADORABLE. I love those little socks. They all are precious.I had many comments on how neat our bumbo seat was. It was very convienient to load in the car instead of walker.I LOVED our bumbo seat(we had the lilac).We used it alot, To feed her,let her watch tv,etc. I even put it inside our wagon to take her for walks with her brother and sister. She Loved it!

Interesting. I have been wondering about the Bumbo seat, it never really looked very comfortable. But now I’m convinced it’s a life saver. Penelope looks so cute!!

About the Kaboost, I was just watching a video of it the other day (while I was trying to shop for a Kettler bike for a little toddler who loves bikes) and wondering if kids would like it. I might get one for my friend’s sons.

The Bumbo is fine, but the Prince Lionheart BebePOD is even better!!!
