Guest guest Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 i have been thinking about getting one of these for isabella because everyone seems to have rave reviews. my question is: bella is 7 months old, is she too old/big for it? she can sit up if i put her in the sitting position, but occasionally still topples over. i know the website says for children up to 12 months, i just didn't want to spend the money if it's something she won't use. any opinions?? thanx!! crystal (bella's mommy) tort/plagio starbanded 11/24/04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 We bought a bumbo seat when my son was about three months old and it was great when he couldn't sit up on his own. However, Quinn is now 8 months old and we probably haven't used it in two months. Once he was sitting up on his own, I rarely put him in it any more. I think you could still use it for feeding and such but you probably wouldn't get too much use out of it at this point.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hi Crystal. I agree that as your dd gets bigger she won't use it much. I found that as became mobile she didn't care to be confined in the chair, and if she arched her back hard enough she was able to pop herself out of it. Not a big safety concern to me because by that time she was only using it on the floor so she didn't have far to fall. But if your child isn't stiing on her own consistently maybe it would be a good thing for a little while. I guess you have to use your own judgement. You know your dd so only you really know if she would really enjoy it. That's my 2 cents.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 hi there i posted before about the bumbos and they are absolutely brill i have them for my twins who are almost 11 months but annalice who is seriously on the move does through her self out of it and harry throws himself back so i have to lean the chairs against something normally the sofa i do feel it would of been a better idea for the back to be higher however they have been a godsend as they are very small and easy to transport about , good luck with your decision and i hope this has helped alice >From: Beaman Family <beamanfamily@...> >Reply-Plagiocephaly >Plagiocephaly >Subject: Re: ? about bumbo chair >Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2004 09:02:09 -0600 > >We bought a bumbo seat when my son was about three months old and it was >great when he couldn't sit up on his own.

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Crystal, We got one for a cousin's baby. Well I just had to check it out first. na attached herself to it She was 14 months old. She loved it. She didn't need it but she would got sit in it and take a book to read - LOL. We finally gave it to our cousin when na was 17 months old. You will get tons of use out of it and you can always pass it along to a friend. mom to na DOC Grad 2/04 Tort Resolved South Carolina www.thefilyaws.com crystalspumpkin <crystalspumpkin@...> wrote: i have been thinking about getting one of these for isabella because everyone seems to have rave reviews. my question is: bella is 7 months old, is she too old/big for it? she can sit up if i put her in the sitting position, but occasionally still topples over. i know the website says for children up to 12 months, i just didn't want to spend the money if it's something she won't use. any opinions?? thanx!!crystal (bella's mommy)tort/plagiostarbanded 11/24/04For more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
