Bumbos

I was wondering where I could buy the Bumbos that I see mentioned on this site many times.

 

I have seen them at Target!

 

Sara,

Babies R Us sells them, and you can also get them online at quite a few places. Just type "bumbo seat" into a Google search and you'll see a lot of retailers. We tried them with our girls, but they both were uncomfortable so we took them back. Most people seem to love them, though.

 

Only buy one, and see if you kiddos like it before you spend the money on two. My boys both disliked the Bumbo seats.

 

mine came from BRU and we use them all the time. Highly recommended . . .

 

I bought one off of Craig's List for $20. They are $39 at BuyBuyBaby. I still only have the one; I haven't found that our girls' will stay in it for any period of time right now, so we'll see if when they get older they will.

what is a bumbos?

 

Double Trouble07 this is a bumbo: http://www.toysrus.ca/product/prodpop.jsp?...mp;enhView=main

I would suggest looking at a resale site like Craigslist...people are always selling theirs on it for up to half price what you would buy in the store. I got my two from another twin mom...2 for the price of 1. My two did like it but now my DS hates it but he hates to be confined so we use it now at MIL's when it's feeding time. He's also getting alittle chunky for it :lol:

 

FYI: I was looking into Bumbos too. But today I saw a link (not sure if it was on TS or another site) about them not being terribly safe. There was an article on ABC News website or something about a kid that tipped over and fractured his skull. I'll try to see if I can find the link and come back to post it. Probably they are fine as long as you are not leaving babies unattended, but keep your eyes out for more safety information about them.

It was on another TS Forum

 

Oops. Double post. Not sure how that happened.

 

There is also a brand by Lionheart called Bebe which you can also get a tray that comes with them. That would be great for feeding and putting their toys on it.
