Bumbo!

Every year their is a product that every new mom must get at her baby shower. First it was the Boppy then the Floppy. It is now the Bumbo! Maybe to be a sure winner, you need to have a funny name, but the principle is always the same behind these award winning products-they need to be highy functional and fill a big need. Bumbo does just that!

Here is the official word from the makers of the Bumbo Seat "The Bumbo Seat is a snug and cozy environment for your baby. This revolutionary infant chair is designed to fit a baby’s posture. Babies can sit upright in a Bumbo Seat as soon as they have head control. More importantly, it helps them develop the trunk control they need to sit up on their own. It is recommended by pediatricians, orthopedists, and physical therapists so you know it is good for your baby.

The best thing about the Bumbo is what it does for families. It lets your baby sit up and join the action. Whether interacting with parents and siblings or opening birthday gifts, your baby is happier when he is upright and free to use his hands. It is also great for one to one, face to face, eye level feedings. The Bumbo gives Mom an extra set of hands around the house while baby safely plays in his Bumbo Seat. At only 3.5 pound the Bumbo Seat is light enough to take out in the yard, to the beach, to restaurants, and to Grandma's house."
