What Is a Bumbo?

The Bumbo is a type of infant seat. The specially designed seat allows your baby to sit without falling over before she has mastered the ability to stay sitting up on her own. Highly recommended by parents, the Bumbo infant seat gives you the freedom to move when you need it most.

  1. Suggested Age Range

    • According to the Bumbo site listed in References, the suggested age for the Bumbo is 6 weeks to 14 months. However, depending on your baby's neck strength, you may or may not want to begin using the Bumbo at such an early age.

    Pros of a Bumbo

    • The Bumbo is comfortable, easy to clean and lightweight, making it extremely convenient for those trips to Grandma's. It also allows you as a parent to move around and have more freedom, and it gives you easier face-to-face contact with your baby during playtime.

    Cons of a Bumbo

    • As your baby grows, fitting into the Bumbo comfortably may be a problem. The seat does not adjust. You may also find, as your son grows larger, that keeping the Bumbo upright is a problem. Older children who want to escape the Bumbo and explore can tip the chair over. So the chair should always be kept on the floor to prevent accidents.

    Color

    • As of 2009, the Bumbo comes in six distinctive colors: blue, aqua, yellow, lime, lilac and hot pink.

    Accessories

    • Unlike many other infant chairs, there are not a lot of accessories that can be purchased for the Bumbo. However, a play tray, that can double as a feeding tray, is available for around $10.
