Filed Under Hands Free Baby Products, Information | Leave a Comment

What is The Bumbo?

Made By Wartburg Enterprises, the Bumbo is a single-piece seat made of a low-density foam. It’s a deep seat, with a high back and sides. There are leg holes, which fit to a baby’s size, and also a front support so the baby won’t fall out.

The Bumbo essentially has infants sitting in an upright posture before they are physically capable of doing so themselves. It is important to note that the Bumbo should definitely not be used if a baby cannot hold his/her head up.

Convenient Device

Like baby swings, bouncers, strollers and baby carriers, the Bumbo baby seat is convenient for parents. Parents can put their infant who cannot sit upright on their own, in the baby seat, in a sitting position, fully supported. Parents are then free do do what they may, while baby is happily sitting. The Bumbo Baby Sitter Tray provides a surface baby can play on or eat off of. This is both convenient for parents, and useful for baby. The baby also gets used to sitting. They can feel what it’s like.

Just Use It Responsibly

One area you need to used discretion is overuse. This idea goes with most devices, like jumpers and walkers. The problem with these devices when overused, is that they are very much acting like a “crutch.” Think of these devices as training wheels. They give the baby the sense of the motion or activity. But until the wheels are off, a child won’t know what it’s really like to bike. With the Bumbo, a child may actually learn to depend on the seat, rather than developing their own ability to sit upright. This may cause delays in that ability. It is recommended that you do not overuse the Bumbo, and don’t have baby sit in it more than 15-20 minutes at a time.

It is important that parents use this device responsibly. There have been many negligent parents who put the baby in the seat, and put the seat up on a table or a chair. Horrible injuries have resulted from this sort of negligence. There was even a Bumbo recall. However, problems of negligence are not with the makers of the device, but with the parents using the device.

Conclusion

Used responsibly and properly, the Bumbo can be a helpful little device. It comes in a bunch of different colors. It’s also lightweight and easily carried from place to place.
