Our Editorial Review
Product Description Now your baby can enjoy a comfortable upright sitting position from around 4 months with this South African designed Grobag Bumbo Baby Sitter. Simply pop the moulded Grobag bumbo baby sitter supportive shape on the floor and sit your baby inside. Because the material is soft, your babies body weight and pressure narrows the gap above their legs slightly so they sit safely and securely without the need for fiddly, restrictive straps. Your little one will love the independence to look around and use their hands.

Helps baby sit up - secure, supervised sitting! Posted 01 September 2008
The bumbo seat is made of a strong, foam based substance and gives when pressed. When baby sits in it, the design of the bumbo and baby's own body weight supports them in a sitting position. Baby needs to be able to support their head. My son seems happy in it for short periods - he may get more used to it as time goes on - but is happier in his bouncy chair. However I would highly recommend the bumbo as a useful aid when feeding baby, before they can sit in a high chair. I wouldn't dream of leaving my son alone it - I can see ways that he could get out of it, by leaning backwards or forwards, especially as he gets bigger. I also wouldn't use it on an elevated surface, for fear of him toppling it. That said he hasn't fallen out of it or even managed to rock it - these are merely my new mum worries! You can get a tray to go on the front of the bumbo (which I haven't seen on amazon) which fits well and helps again with feeding. So - 5 stars but baby still needs supervision!
Great in theory, but... Posted 23 May 2008
I bought one of these for my daughter because i liked the design and thought it looked like a really useful thing to have, but what I have found is that my daughter, who is very inquisitive and advanced for her age, has just about worked out how to get out of it, and she is not quite five months old yet. Also i would not dream of using the bumbo on tiled or wooden floors because it could be really nasty if she tipped backwards in it.
In practice, I don't feel comfortable leaving my daughter sitting alone in the bumbo (even on carpeted floors) long enough for me to go to the toilet, and so i don't think i could recommend a bumbo to a friend.
Essential piece of kit Posted 24 October 2007
Oh how I wish these were about when my previous three babies were born!
This is one of those pieces of equipment that you buy and think ''hmmm, a bit pricey, and the baby will grow out of it so quickly'' .
However, I have found, so far, that it has been worth every pound spent. It is just perfect for early weaning for that really awkward stage when your baby is too young to sit in a high chair and too big to be fed in the crook of your arm.
It really does free your hands and makes feeding a cynch.
It is also great for letting baby sit and watch you going about your business. I also put a baby gym in front of mine and she sits and happily bashes away at the toys. It is also brilliant to take out and about so the baby has somewhere safe, clean and suitable to sit wherever you are.
To me, the baby is safe and secure. I can't see, at this stage (5 months) how she can possibly fall out of it, although I can see that an older baby could easily reach down to touch the ground with their hand and topple out - but as I say, a much older baby who would probably be more mobile by then anyway. I would always recommend keeping it on the floor but if you must put it on a raised, flat surface, never take your eyes off it. Never put it on a soft surface like a sofa or bed as it would and does very easily topple over.
This is a more sturdy design with a wider base or footprint than the Lionheart BeBePod so I feel it has the edge in this regard. I also feel that if your baby is on the larger side or taller than average, this is a seat that you will get more use of.
I guess I can't possibly see a baby sitting in it up to the age of 14 months - they may actually fit in it still, but getting them to stay put would be another matter! So realistically you will get less than a few months reliable use of it - but what crucial months they are!
great! Posted 29 September 2007
this is a brilliant product, it helped my son sit up and is fantastic when feeding from a spoon!
there are a few downsides.
1, it is so low down that all the baby will see is feet!
2, this cannot be used in the bath, (would be fantastic if it could be!)
3, It was on the news in America that peoples babies are falling out of these chairs, the baby would fall backward and some have fallen off of tables, worktops etc...
but, if you keep a close eye on your baby, then this product is fantastic, I took mine to the beach (with the 1 day of sun we get in Scotland) and he looked so grown up!
