Purchase this for smaller baby starting solids!!
By Kristina on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2014
We first purchased this seat when my son was 6 months old. He was a very small baby (0 percentile until 9 months) and high chairs were just way too big for him. So when it was time to start him on solids we bought this seat. We put it in the middle of our dining room table (to be as safe as we could) and put him in. Now the straps never did really fit him - they were way too loose but with the tray attached he really couldn't move so it worked out great. The back was high and since he was small he would really sit down in the chair. Now he is 14 months old and we are actually using it as a floor seat (minus the tray which we don't use anymore). I just set out the seat on the floor and my son loves to climb in and out (and tries to find new ways to sit down in it). Sometimes he will sit in it with his books too. If you have a small baby and are looking for a chair that will have many different uses buy the bumbo! Only buy the tray if you are using it to start on solids. I don't recommend the cover as it is easier to clean food off the actual rubber seat. When you upgrade to an actual highchair check out the oxo tot sprout chair - it's a fabulous, easy to clean, perfect for smaller than average children highchair. Also one tip on how to put your baby in the bumbo with the tray already attached. Put your child in from the back of the chair. I could never get my son into the seat when the chair was facing me because he would end up bending his knees so go in from behind.

Babies are not one size fits all
By D.G. on Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2015
I went back and forth about buying this. But I wanted to try this out because my little dude loves sitting up and it gets tiring holding him. His bouncy seat reclines and he's often gets frustrated trying to sit up more in it. I loved that it has a tray, which I bought as well. I thought it would be a great "drum" for him as he's always swinging his arm down to bop his thighs and loves when I put a box or something there and it makes a sound.The reviews seem to be split 50/50 on it being too small or just right. I didn't know what to think. But then I got a gift certificate for Christmas and thought "why not?".The Bumbo is a great idea. My only issue with it is it's lack of a weight guideline. This is what everyone's issue seems to boil down to. This is the only baby product I've seen with a size guideline based on a developmental milestone. Saying a baby can use it once they can "hold their head up without assistance" does not tell you the size of this product. If they're going to have that vague a guideline they need to offer different sizes. Even if every single baby reached this milestone at exactly the same age they would all be different weights and heights at that time.I also think children's clothes should be sold based on weight instead of "months" which is really a different size for every brand and can give new parents anxiety that their children are too small or too big.But I digress.My son is just over 4 months and weighs 19lbs and is 26 inches. He's a big boy for his age- 95th percentile. But he just started really holding his head up steadily a few weeks ago, at which point he was still 18lbs. I wouldn't have felt safe having him sitting in this before then- his head control made me afraid he'd get whiplash. Even now he occasionally scares me the way he'll whip his head around.I got the box today and was actually pretty excited. We had to wait until it warmed up because the box was sitting outside in 10 degree weather. Then I put him in and waited for the magic.*sigh* So much fail here. The straps are pointless and in a horrible place. Why not put them on top? But he didn't seem to mind, it was under his diaper so they didn't dig in to him while I tried to finagle them out. But he seemed to be stuffed into the seat. Yes, we had to push his legs in a bit but it's a foam seat so it's not like it hurt. He didn't even wince. That didn't bother me. But I couldn't get him out of it without lifting him and pulling the thing off his butt. and the front piece was squishing him in a way I was sure would cause a rash.It's a shame because he seemed to genuinely enjoy sitting up and looking around. He hit the tray a couple times and smiled. But between smiles was a look of discomfort that was becoming more and more apparent every time he turned around or tried to move at all. I think he wanted to like it but it's just too small.So, Bumbo, my advice to you, which I'm sure you don't need as these things are wildly popular, is this: make different sizes. Tell us the ideal weight/height for each size. Babies are not one size fits all.
