Bumbo not safe to use?

Question

My mother used a Bumbo with my siblings. Now I have my own baby and would love to use it for her. However, now I'm hearing stories about how it's not safe to use. It prevents babies from developing on their own. Is this true?

Answer

Dont leave the baby in it for a long time and dont leave them in it on a table or counter without being right there with them its supose to be used for the ground no high surfaces because they could tip over.

Answer

I used a bumbo with my youngest but with this baby I want a diff seat.

Answer

I have one that has grippers on the bottom because it's a multistage seal that can be used as a toddler seat for eating. My daughter doesn't sit well in it yet but once they do you can put toys with suction cups on them to keep them occupied for a bit. But like everyone says keep an eye on them because with anything you get at the correct angle with the right amount of weight and it's going to topple.

Answer

The unsafe rhetoric is in reference to how babies should make certain developmental
milestones in their own and not be "trained" or "overly supported" to make them earlier than they are ready. Sitting up and sitting on their own are both milestones that babies should achieve on their own. If a child is no where near being able to support themselves then sitting them in the seat for long periods of time is forcing them to develop the muscles and body frame before they are ready. There is a lot more to this concept but that's basically it. That being said, having your child in it for a few minutes won't harm them. But definitely only while supervised. The seat doesn't attach to create a secure base.

Answer

I used one a couple times, but my daughter was very wiggly and managed to topple the whole thing over on the table and smashed her face when she fell. I stopped using it after that, I don't like that the base can't be secured to anything, and once they do start to tip over they go really quick and hard because of their design.

Answer

I find the leg holes a bit narrow for my daughter, she doesn't really like it. Plus if the baby is strong it can tip.

Answer

We love ours. Our son only tolerates it for about 15-30 minute stretches but it's great for when I'm cooking I can have him right beside me on the counter. I make sure to never step away just in case. Also I have him strapped him. He also enjoys sitting at the table with us watching us eat our meals and we like that he's included.
