A coworker has a little baby that’s a couple of months older than my daughter. While we were chatting one day, he told me about the Bumbo Chair. He used it all the time for his daughter – even during family dinner where his baby would sit in the middle of the dining table.

We purchased one and have been using it for about 6 weeks – ever since our daughter turned 3 months. The chair is made of very soft rubber and is molded to provide maximum support. So even though your baby can’t sit up on her own yet, the chair allows her to stay upright with no help from you. This helps to build baby’s neck strength and get her used to sitting up.

Once your baby gets ready for solid food, this chair provides the perfect seat to feed her in before she grows and graduates to a full high chair. You can even purchase a plastic tray that connects to the front of the chair. It’s great for holding toys and food.

We’ve bought a lot of “stuff” for our baby over the past 5 months, but the Bumbo Chair is definitely one of the more valuable purchases we’ve made.
