I typically do not post things from North American news on this blog but because this item can be found in Finland regularly - I thought I should share.
If you have a child - you probably know of the famous rubber chair called "BUMBO".
Bumbo seats help promote a proper sitting position and keep the baby mostly upright (head and neck can still roll so be careful).
As well, they are in a wide variety of colors, a tray can be attached (an extra accessory) and they're light enough to toss in your car if you need it for your travels (not as a car seat - duh).
We've used one that I found online second-hand and it has been great.
One major issue is that it doesn't work well for strong wiggly children like both of my boys.
My first child was able to use it until he was almost 6 or 7 months old and my youngest could only use it until he was 5 or 6 months because he was able to fling himself backwards and almost pop out. But we've always caught him in time.
Guess why I'm writing about this Bumbo seat?
They are currently undergoing a major recall. There have been cases of skull fractures and other horrible things...but we have never had a problem with them and neither have several other thousands of parents.
One thing is that you should not use it on a raised surface - aka the dining room table.
Yes, it's super convenient than having to sit on the floor to feed your baby solids or to bend down from your chair....but safety first. And Bumbo has warning labels all over their product and an info booklet on how to use their product properly...
Anyways, take this for what it's worth. If I had a another child (not happening) or if my youngest was still small enough to fit into a Bumbo without any possibility of popping out - he'd still be using one.
This is just a major FYI.
