    When did you start putting your little ones in their bumbo seats? I put my guys in them today and they seemed to like it, but I don't want to do their little necks any harm. They are 2.5 months old. On the bumbo website it said thatr you could use them with babies as early as 3 months old. Just wondering???

    I'd say around 3 months or so. They are now 8 months and we still use them everyday!

    Probably about 4 months or so for us, when they had really good head control. They never really cared for it so we did not use it long.

    A little before 3 months, but they would get tired of holding their heads up after a few minutes. They are really starting to enjoy it more now at 5 months.

    Mine use them now to put in front of the couch and climb up on it :eek: But at around 4 months they were using them, but quickly grew tired of them.

    My friend who has a 6 month old doesn't use hers anymore either. SHe said they were recalled? I didn't hear anything, but you may want to look into that. They're kinda' pricey.....

    4 months for us until they had head control but they were not too fond of them.

    I think about 3 months for us. I use them a lot more now. I can put one in the Bumbo to play while I'm sitting behind the other one working with her on sitting up alone. Then I switch them.

    They were recalled because some people were leaving them unattended on high places - like tables and kitchen counters - and kids were tipping them over, falling out and getting hurt. They recalled them to put bigger warning stickers on them, not to change the design. I only use ours on the floor. I definitely could see how a bigger child whose feet touched the floor could arch their backs and tip them over. I just keep an eye on the girls while they are in them and if I have to leave the room, I put pillows around just in case!

    I used mine shortly before 3 months, because the boys could already hold their heads up. As long as they have good head control, I think it's fine.

    We started somewhere around 3 months, but put blankets behind them to keep them up. We also used them in the tub and as highchairs up until this wk -they are starting to learn how to escape!
    Oh and they also sell a tray to go with them that we love-u can sit them in there w/ toys on the tray. Since we didnt have highchairs i also used it with the tray for finger foods. (puffs/cheerios)

    Same here. Dax was really chubby but I didn't have any trouble getting him in the seat if I pulled the pommel out a little bit while putting him in. As an added bonus, his chubby legs meant his wasn't going to backflip out. ;)

    We started around 3.5 months and they HATED them! I was upset because I kept thinking it had been wasted money. But now just within the last month they have really started to enjoy them.
