You might have heard about the Bumbo Floor Seat from the internet or other parents who are just raving about it. I can say they all have the reasons to. This cute looking seat might seem unneeded at first, but when you have it, you’ll realize how much beneficial it is. I recently received a Bumbo Floor Seat in Lime color and I thought it was the bees knees!
The main intention of the Bumbo Floor Seat is fairly simple. The Bumbo Floor Seat aims to give infants support so they can sit up while they are still developing and learning to support themselves. It’s perfect for my 4 month old baby. The primary goal of Bumbo in creating this chair is to provide ample support for a baby while maintaining the right posture. They sure have succeeded in doing so with the Bumbo Floor Seat.
These are the specific design features of the Bumbo Floor Seat making it the best seat support for your fragile baby:
• Posture conscious molded soft foam
• Smooth plastic material covering for easy cleaning
• Wide flat base for adequate foundation
• Restraint belt for security
• Front post to keep the baby from slipping forward
It is lightweight which makes it great for carrying it around. I saw on their website that the Bumbo Floor Seat can be accessorized with a play tray where you can put toys on the surface so your baby can fully enjoy play time even at a young age. Using the Bumbo Floor Seat can have your baby interact with his surroundings developing his brain and his senses at an early time. This seat is great as an alternative for tummy time especially if your baby does not enjoy it so much, like mine. It is also an active and refreshing activity for your baby rather than just constantly lying down on his back.
Preliminary Cautions and Warnings
You may have heard some reports about the dangers of Bumbo Floor Seat. I believe these incidents are just caused by parents who neglected the caution or warning labels that come with the seat. I never put my baby on equipment without having me or an adult watching him. You should only use the Bumbo Floor Seat if you can attend to your child the whole time. Not only should you watch your baby while using the seat, but you should also use it on appropriate surfaces. Countertops, tables, chairs etc. are highly discouraged as places where you put the Bumbo Floor Seat with your baby on it. You should only use it on the floor. Using it on high grounds will only have you asking for your baby to get injuries due to falling. Like any sensible parent, you should always be cautious when it comes to your kids and not highly depend on a product.
On the whole, I like all the features and perks that the Bumbo Floor Seat has. The design is sleek and guarantees to make your child sit with the right posture at such an early age. My baby boy certainly loves it and enjoys playing on the Bumbo Floor Seat rather than tummy time. As long as it is used in the correct way, Bumbo Floor Seat can give your child all the benefits it promises. To find retailers in your area visit Oyaco.com.

We actually just gave our Bumbo chair to someone else to use, as my daughter is too big for it now. I loved it, it was so handy to put her in while we were at friends house, while I took a shower, and while I was busy cooking. I only ever had her in it on the floor. I know they were recalled, but its common sense, people should never put their baby on a High surface while in the chair.
Love the Bumbo! All four of my kids had Bumbos and they were great! I had twins both times so the Bumbos were a great way to contain one baby while I was tending to the other!
