One of the best baby purchases we made! The snug is awesome. My son is almost 13 months and we still use it every day for lunch time at work.

My nephew even sits in it with the insert still. @lawbee11: woot! Hope you like it! :) Freckles on "Bumbo seats: Get or skip?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumbo-seats-get-or-skip#post-778714 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:59:29 +0000 Freckles 778714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Skip. We borrowed our friend's bumbo, and thank goodness we did, because LO only used it for a few days. She kept leaning forward, which caused her to spit up milk EVERY time she sat in it. The jumperoo was just so much better. littlek on "Bumbo seats: Get or skip?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumbo-seats-get-or-skip#post-778688 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:50:51 +0000 littlek 778688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Skip.

For us it wouldn't have been useful anyway considering that our girls both sat so early! Beebug on "Bumbo seats: Get or skip?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumbo-seats-get-or-skip#post-778662 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:43:25 +0000 Beebug 778662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. Jacks: Really? Unless used in excess maybe? Used in appropriate settings/durations I can't imagine they're hindering anything worth worrying over? Mrs. Jacks on "Bumbo seats: Get or skip?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumbo-seats-get-or-skip#post-778646 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:33:25 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 778646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't like them. I think they actually hinder core strength.

Once she outgrew that, I moved her to the high chair. By that time she was divebombing out of the bumbo:) It was good for a cute picture or two but otherwise pointless.

If you want one, I'd look on Craigslist or see if anyone has one that you can borrow.

We used it just a couple of times. My LO is quite the chunk and his legs would get stuck lol Beebug on "Bumbo seats: Get or skip?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumbo-seats-get-or-skip#post-778608 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:19:54 +0000 Beebug 778608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sarbear: Do you still use the insert, or into regular seat now? @lawbee11: Awesome!! Yah, I won't lie, I take it into the bathroom with me and sit LO in it, we use it all around the house, and yah.....I am sure we'd get by without it, but I'm super glad we have it! LO is sitting up on her own now, but I still use enough to be happy we have it! lawbee11 on "Bumbo seats: Get or skip?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumbo-seats-get-or-skip#post-778598 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:17:44 +0000 lawbee11 778598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @sarbear: @Beebug: I just deleted the bumbo from my registry & added the mamas and papas snug seat! :) 2PeasinaPod on "Bumbo seats: Get or skip?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumbo-seats-get-or-skip#post-778592 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:16:27 +0000 2PeasinaPod 778592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Skip! Ours is currently in the basement after a handful of uses. We used the activity mat and bouncy seat way more! sumer08 on "Bumbo seats: Get or skip?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumbo-seats-get-or-skip#post-778586 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:14:25 +0000 sumer08 778586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Skip. Honestly, our LO sat up pretty early on his own (4.5 months), so we only used ours for maybe a month or so. Not worth it, in my opinion.

I honestly don't know what we would have done without it when we go to people's houses without high chairs! I can see us using it for a long time still wheres_c on "Bumbo seats: Get or skip?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumbo-seats-get-or-skip#post-778567 Mon, 13 May 2013 15:06:45 +0000 wheres_c 778567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Skip it, my LO didn't ever fit in it or like it.

I think we might use it more when we have a seond baby because our hands will be more full and we'll need more safe places to put the baby. looch on "Bumbo seats: Get or skip?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumbo-seats-get-or-skip#post-778476 Mon, 13 May 2013 14:42:06 +0000 looch 778476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Skip it! I had the bumbo and the tray, and it was such a pain in the neck, we sold it!
