Bumbo (A must have!)

   Bumbo is an amazing invention that every household should have if you or someone you know currently has a newborn or is expecting.  If you have multiples, this is a product to buy more than one of!  The developmental skills Bumbo builds are neck, head, and torso muscles.   Infants between the months of 4-6 who are doing well with holding their heads up and fit in the Bumbo are ready for it.  

Warning:
--The seat should only be used under heavy supervision; Bumbo is not made for you to leave your child in and walk away.
--You need to be careful once your child starts pushing off with their feet and arching their backs that the Bumbo does not tip over as a result.   I have personally seen child arch their backs severely enough and come straight out of the Bumbo. 

I HIGHLY recommend this product.  It is well made and secure. 

Pros:
--Helps muscle groups develop.
--Helps your child sit in upright position.
--Can read your child stories as they sit in it.  They can more easily see the pages this way.
--Can easily clean it with cloth, warm water, and soap.
-- Has a tray you can buy separately that you can put toys on.

Cons:
--Can not walk away from child while they are in it.
--If you buy one with straps, the straps tend to get in the way of things, especially if you decide to leave it unbuckled.  

I had trouble finding a link to ones that did not have the strap.  I recommend trying to find a gently used one on Ebay.  

If you do not care whether it has a strap or not, please follow the link to purchase one for an infant:
