 Topic: Bumbo Seats - till what age?
Posted: 04 February 2009 at 2:39pm |
Hi,
Am looking to buy 2 x Bumbo seats for my boys for feeding & their entertainment etc.
Q1: how long did you use yours for & why did you stop.
Q2: for all the spilly babies out there, was it easy to feed them then take them out of the Bumbo to burp them - I suppose it would be even harder in a highchair because they're strapped in  ?
I'm worried that Eli might not be in it for long because he can roll & sometimes archs his back when he's sitting, do you think he could get out of it?
Thanks

I doubt he could get out .. unless he has really ickle legs as the part in the middle anchors them in.
Issy only used hers for a couple of months. (Although she sat, crawled and walked v early), so it may last you longer.
We have kept it for number two.
Oh and burping I would have thought would be fine .. as they are upright but there is nothing blocking access to their back.

Eli has FAT legs so that wouldn't be a prob - they are both very short & fat for their age.

From about 4 months I think through to about 9 months. We stopped when he figured out how to get out lol
Q2: for all the spilly babies out there, was it easy to feed them then take them out of the Bumbo to burp them - I suppose it would be even harder in a highchair because they're strapped in ?
Daniel wasn't spilly but it was easy to use as a highchair sometimes

Hey we've only just started using ours, so not sure how long we'll use it for but to take him out its really easy you just take away the tray and pull them up and the seat pretty much falls away from them, if that makes sense, sometimes it doesn't fall away easily and he looks like a snail  . We got ours from a shop in hamilton, if you find one that sells them you could go and have a try.
We really love ours cause DS really doesn't like lying down any more.

Yvette, I know Emma has one at least going spare, cos she had two for the gremlins (I was going to borrow it from her but JJ starting sitting unsupported earlier than I expected). She's offline at the mo (her computer is getting fixed) but she might be willing to lend you her spare (Chiara might even be out of the other one by now as well, so she might have two spares).

Baby Factory do, I'm pretty sure. We often go there and try things out, then buy them on TM

We hired one for a couple of months from baby on the move. That could be an option for you depending on how long you think you'd use them?
