The Bumbo Chair, One size fits all?



This past sunday Uncle Kana bought Na'ulei a new chair. It's called a Bumbo, and is supposedly praised among baby critics. There are many great reviews about the product. Some of the positive features this chair offers are:

-portability
-stability
-lightweight
-great baby support (baby won't fall out, and gives baby good posture)
-no straps needed
-made of comfortable nontoxic foam


The Bumbo came to us at a perfect time, because Na'ulei has been eating baby food for the past month. We've been struggling with holding her down and feeding her at the same time. So we looked forward to the Bumbo. However, when we opened the box, we were a little worried about its size. By now, everyone is aware of Na'ulei's larger than normal thighs. We weren't sure if her legs would fit in the leg slots.



We attempted to put her in, and to our surprise...Na'ulei fit!!! The chair is perfect, or at least we THOUGHT it was perfect. Watch and you'll see.



Too bad they don't make Bumbo in Polynesian sizes.

Poor thing! That thing's cutting off her circulation! What a fattie! I love it! Na'u-I can't wait to meet you.

That is really cute. At least she won't be able to crawl out of it. We were at our friends house and they have one and were saying that it's so great because it keeps the babies in and babies can't get out of it because the way they have made it. So, we put Mosiah in it and in about 30 seconds he figured out how to get out. Lately he's been figuring out how to get out of everything, even climb up into the bathroom sink!!!

That's hilarious. Those leg holes are too small, we had a similar thing happening with Kalia and her thighs. :) Other than that, they are GREAT though!

Oh my gosh that's hilarious! I love chunky thighs on babies, they're the best!

Haha! I guess if we knew you guys were going to get that chair, we probably could've warned you first! Jaeden's thighs could barely fit in there too. If they ever come out with a Polynesian bumbo, we'll be first in line for sure! She's so cute!!!

Na'u you're too cute in that thing. No worries about your legs! The good thing about those is that when she loses all her baby fat she'll be able to use it as a booster seat. When Mosiah first got his seat Mandys bebe Iosepa was using it as a booster and he was a year and a half. Not to put a damper on things but just pay attention to the warnings. When we first got Mosiah's seat there were stuff in the news about how there have been head injuries because babies threw themselves back too hard and hit the hard floor or people had it on countertops and the baby flew themselves back and off. Not saying that you would allow that to happen, cuz me and Mandy still put the seat on the table but just make sure you keep an eye on that and make sure she can't throw herself back on it. Other than that, yay for bumbo chairs! We had Mosiah in his when he was only 2 months old!
*sorry for the novel!
