Bumbo seat for Gavin..3 months..
posted in Bumbo, Gavin, Exersaucer, newborn |I first heard about the Bumbo seat from my sister-in-law Erin. A relative sent her one when her son Cole was born. Bumbo seats weren’t around when I had Macy over 4 years ago..or maybe I just hadn’t heard of it. She told me how great it was..she just took it with her when she went visiting..it’s somewhere to put a baby without leaving him in a car seat the whole time…also a great place to feed Cole. As my son approached 3 months..I looked into the seat. It’s for babies approx. 3 or so months in age..and you can use it until the baby tries to get out! (Depends on the baby) The price runs about $40 dollars. I went to the baby and kids section of Craigslist to see what was available. Quite a few people were looking for specific colors, and the ones listed for sale were all priced about $25 or so. During my search, I came across a great mom business…Crybaby Comforts. Lisa (owner) sells Bumbo seats..but she also rents them and a wide varitety of other useful baby items! I rented a teal Bumbo for 3 months..$4.25 per month. (if Gavin is anything like his sister..he’ll be bust’n out of the Bumbo before I’m ready..) So far..we love it! I had Gavin sitting in it while we were making dinner..eating..and in front of his toys. After using it..I can now see the appeal! Gavin isn’t quite ready for an exersaucer or doorway jumper..he’s alway reclining (bouncy seat..swing..crib). The Bumbo lets him sit up with support and he feels like he’s right in the middle of everything..because he is!
