The more sensory stimulation an infant gets, the better. Unfortunately, if you’re a busy mom, it can be impossible to carry baby around all the time. You can put your infant in a carrier or swing, but this is often time-consuming because of all the straps you need to unhook and rehook to keep baby safe.
The Bumbo Seat is a solution for the mom on the go. This funny-looking foam seat keeps babies up to 22 pounds safe and propped up so they can enjoy the world. Older children can also use them, as long as you keep an eye on them so they don’t tip over.
Now, you can’t leave you baby unattended in this seat, and it is dangerous to use it on high surfaces like counter tops, but if you want your hands free for a minute, this is a great solution! Best of all, the Bumbo Seat is washable and lightweight, so you can clean it when it gets dirty and take it just about anywhere for you. Take it to the park, the beach, or anywhere else and wipe it clean when you’re done.
The Bumbo Seat comes in aqua, pink, lilac, lime green, yellow, and blue. You can also order a tray that hooks onto the Bumbo Seat, so older babies can play with toys or eat snacks, all while your hands are free. Bumbo Seats are only $40 or $50 with a tray, and they’re worth every dime. You can order yours here.
