convenient but use with caution
Reviewed on 30 March 2018
I got this hoping it would be a great for feeding on the go or to prop bub up when they aren't sitting independently. It is convenient, reasonably easy to clean but does end up staining if you leave things on it too long. My biggest issue with this is that if bub is that it isn't very 'hip healthy', especially if bub is not sitting independently as their hips aren't ready for that type of pressure. Also if you have a chubby baby, by the time they can sit, they may not fit and if they do, when you try to remove them from the seat the seat comes with them as you try tot lift them out which becomes awkward and uncomfortable for bub to have the full weight of the bumbo hanging off their legs. It is handy for use on a floor, for short term use (only a few minuets or so) and only if bub isn't super chubby and is sitting independently. If you have had any issues or concerns about hip displacia, I would give it a wide birth. Definitely something you should purchase when you are ready to use, so you know it will be suitable for your baby.
