Bumbo Seats: How to Choose the Best One for Your Baby

Every parent knows that magical moment when their baby starts sitting up. Suddenly, the world looks so much more exciting from this new vantage point! But before those little core muscles are strong enough for independent sitting, the Bumbo seat is here to lend a helping hand (or, rather, a supportive seat).

At ANB Baby, we're proud to offer the original Bumbo Floor Seat and Bumbo Multi Seat, designed to support your baby's development from those early wobbly days all the way through toddlerhood. Whether you're looking for a cozy spot for playtime or a versatile seat that grows with your child, we've got you covered.

Bumbo Floor Seat: The Best First Seat for Little Sitters (3–12 Months)

What Is a Bumbo Chair Used For?

The Bumbo Floor Seat is a parent's best friend during those early months when your baby is eager to sit up but still needs a little support. Designed for babies 3–12 months old, this seat gently cradles your little one in an upright position, giving them a whole new perspective on playtime, mealtimes, and family time.

Why Parents Love the Bumbo Chair

The secret to the Bumbo Floor Seat's success is its ergonomic design. The deep, contoured seat and slightly reclined backrest provide just the right amount of support, while the soft, wipe-clean foam keeps your baby comfy (and makes cleanup a breeze). Plus, the 3-point safety harness keeps your wiggly baby secure without being restrictive.

A Bumbo Seat With Tray? Yes, Please!

And if you really want to make the most of your Bumbo Floor Seat, don't forget the Bumbo tray! This handy add-on turns the seat into a perfect spot for snacks, toys, or sensory play.

Bumbo Multi Seat: The Seat That Grows with Your Child (6–36 Months)

When Should You Switch to the Bumbo Multi Seat?

Once your baby masters sitting on their own (usually around 6 months), it's time to level up with the Bumbo Multi Seat. This clever Bumbo seat with tray adapts to your child's changing needs, functioning as a floor seat, high chair alternative, and booster seat—all in one!

Why the Bumbo Multi Seat Is a Game-Changer for Toddlers

Unlike the original Bumbo Seat, the Multi Seat has larger leg openings and a flatter base, giving your growing toddler more room to move. The removable pad means you can adjust the seat as they get bigger, and the stow-away tray makes snack time (and cleanup) a cinch.

But the best part? The non-slip base keeps the seat steady on any surface, whether you're using it at the dinner table or on the floor. And, of course, it's just as easy to clean as the original Bumbo—because toddlers are experts at making messes.

What Age is the Bumbo Seat For?

The Bumbo Floor Seat is designed for babies between 3 and 12 months old who can hold their head up but aren't yet sitting independently. This is that special developmental window when babies are curious about their world but still need support to sit upright safely. The seat's contoured design provides just the right amount of assistance during this transitional phase. Once your baby can sit unassisted (usually around 6 months), you can transition to the Bumbo Multi Seat, which accommodates toddlers up to 3 years old. Remember, every baby develops at their own pace, so watch for good head control and those first wobbly attempts at sitting before introducing the Bumbo Floor Seat.

What Is the Bumbo Seat Weight Limit?

While the exact weight limit can vary slightly by model, most Bumbo seats safely support babies up to 22 pounds (10 kg). It's important to transition to the Bumbo Multi Seat once your baby exceeds this weight or can sit unaided, as the Multi Seat accommodates toddlers up to 37 pounds (17 kg). Always check your specific product's guidelines and remember: never use the seat on elevated surfaces, even with the safety harness secured. For the most secure fit, ensure your baby's thighs are fully supported in the seat's contours.

Bumbo Seat Safety: What Every Parent Should Know

Both Bumbo seats are designed with safety in mind, but there are a few key rules to follow:

• Always use the harness, even if your baby seems steady.
• Never place the seat on elevated surfaces (counters, tables, or chairs without straps).
• Supervise your baby whenever they're in the seat.
• Follow the age and weight guidelines to ensure a proper fit.
