This good but bit pricy (average £30) innovative South African invention can be very useful for your little one, although I would not consider it an essential. It’s great to encourage your baby to sit properly, rather than always lie down. And when it comes to popularity, the Bumbo baby sitter blue is a popularity phenomena amongst parents (including myself).

The Bumbo Baby Sitter official site states that it “is ideal for babies between 4 months to 1 year old”, but if you have a big baby I recommend you buy it quickly because it can become a bit tight for chubby legs. If you have a very skinny baby, be advised that she might keep toppling out. It is best if you guide yourself according to the weight suggested on their website: 9-22lbs or 4-10kgs.

When to get a Bumbo baby sitter

Like it or hate it, this chair is ideal for weaning (because it’s easy to clean), the Bumbo baby sitter can be used anywhere (since it is light) and helps the little one sit upright and learn how to interact with toys placed in front of him. Just be careful because some babies tend to try and lean backwards or forwards out of it.

Unfortunately I only heard of this product when my daughter was already five months old, so we didn’t use it that much. But she did love her Bumbo Baby Sitter (in blue) and luckily she learnt to sit quite quickly since I don’t think she would have fitted in it for much longer!

Anyway, if you would like to try the innovative Bumbo Baby Sitter and form your own opinion, you can find it at Boots or Mothercare:

Another plus is that these Bumbo Baby Sitter hold their value, so you can always sell it afterwards or pass it along to a friend of yours
