She's obsessed with the lion that spins &amp; the chewy flower. </p> <p>They pop out, in case no one else knew this. I took the toy part apart to clean &amp; let her play with. The flower thing is a really awesome teether! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069357 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 20:52:10 +0000 lawbee11 2069357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: @MrsF: We have M's stored in her closet and she still runs for that damn activity tray every time she sees it and she's 18 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069351 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 20:47:11 +0000 MrsF 2069351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I'm so happy to see this! I'm buying one from someone on Craigslist tomorrow. J is a chunky monkey and I don't think he'll fit in a Bumbo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069349 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 20:44:54 +0000 Tanjowen 2069349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: @Mrs.Pinecone316: I also had the chunky thigh issue with the Bumpo. I was so excited about getting to use it and then he never fit! I'd definitely would go with something with more "give" to it next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069276 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:35:59 +0000 littlebug 2069276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the prince lionheart seat. Pretty sure we only used it 3 or 4 times. We sold it, and I don't think I'll buy a seat for a future baby. Just seemed unnecessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069274 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:34:46 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2069274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I was just going to suggest that. We have it for DD2 and she loves it. It's pretty rad!<br /> It has so much more support than the Bumbo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069271 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:33:58 +0000 ladybee 2069271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: we have the one posted above. Our sons chunky thighs fit great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069268 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:31:53 +0000 Mrs. J 2069268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the Prince lionheart seat! Loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069255 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:22:39 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2069255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I've read a lot of reviews about the chunky thighs being an issue with the bumbo. It seems like the snug seat or boppy one would be better if we do end up with the chunky baby:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069252 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:14:20 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2069252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a bumbo and never used it. DD1 had really chunky thighs and by the time she had the neck support to sit in it she was too big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069247 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:12:14 +0000 lawbee11 2069247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: I registered for it at Babies R Us but I'm sure they have it at Target and on Amazon or other major retailers as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069245 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:09:14 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2069245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: That looks awesome, I haven't seen that one yet. Where did you get it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069236 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 19:00:43 +0000 lawbee11 2069236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: We had the Mamas &amp; Papas snug seat and also got the activity tray and LO loved it. </p> [attach=1395/15/njqip7.497x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moms-bumbo-or-boppy-baby-chair#post-2069229 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 18:56:01 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2069229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep going back and forth on which one to register for. Everyone I know has used the bumbo, but the boppy seat looks like it maybe hasn't been around as long since every website I look up there aren't as many reviews as the bumbo has. </p> <p>Here is the comparison page so you can see both..</p> <p><a href="http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/compare/product_comparison.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.buybuybaby.com/store/compare/product_comparison.jsp</a></p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-to-start-using-bumbo#post-474212 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 19:37:25 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 474212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 weeks or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-to-start-using-bumbo#post-474203 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 19:31:59 +0000 runsyellowlites 474203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When P started showing signs of sitting up on her own. After some reading up on them I didn't like that idea of using it any earlier when her spine was still more "C" shaped bc it would put more pressure &amp; stress on her lower back. We really didn't use it much even after that though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-to-start-using-bumbo#post-474191 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 19:24:33 +0000 matador84 474191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put him in it around 3 months when he was holding his head up with a little bobbling - now he is 17 weeks and sits in it just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-to-start-using-bumbo#post-474190 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 19:23:30 +0000 Sammyfab 474190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started at around 3-ish months for very short periods of time and then used it more regularly after 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-to-start-using-bumbo#post-474106 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 18:11:38 +0000 Bao 474106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've put her in it a few times the past month or so, but she didn't like it. I think she was too small. I just tried again today and she's enjoying it much more. She is 4 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-to-start-using-bumbo#post-474091 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 17:53:27 +0000 skibobrown 474091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got one around 4 months. We could have started earlier though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/age-to-start-using-bumbo#post-474045 Tue, 01 Jan 2013 17:22:26 +0000 Kemma 474045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old was your LO when you started using the Bumbo? </p>
