Bumbo Review

I know there are probably a million and one reviews on the Bumbo, being such a popular must have product, but I thought one more can't hurt.
Before Aria was born my Grandma bought me a Bumbo, the typical price of a Bumbo ranges from £30-£35. Luckily she bought it of her friend for a fiver.

I say luckily as I don't believe on paying a lot for baby 'must haves' that you don't really need.
Needless to say I couldn't wait for her to be old enough to sit in it, it just seemed so convenient and made a change from either sitting in her bouncer, lying down or being carried
However the first time i tried her in it, about three months (too early IMHO) she only stayed in it for a minute and started to crying to come out.

The one we have comes with a table that clips on and off easily, although I do get a little nervous i might trap her skin in it one day. >_<
The table is good for feeding or plopping a few toys on to keep them entertained.








Clearly not impressed with her keys is she.










The material feels like a sort of coated foam which does feel like it would be comfortable, it has a high back and sides to support the baby, and a cut out for their little chubby legs at the front.

The idea of a Bumbo as a whole seems brilliant but there are little things that worry me... is it too tight on her legs? (she does have a chunky little pair) Is she comfortable? (she seems to get fidgety after a couple of minutes) Is she moving enough? (she just seems really constrained with her legs held in place) And finally will she tip back wards if she keeps doing this?



  Aria hasn't gotten as much use out of it as i would have liked at first, but after a couple of tries i think i would rather her rolling about on the floor or having tummy time. And don't think Aria would disagree with me. Does anyone else feel this way? Or is it something you absolutely love?
