Her son was 7 months old at the time, and he adored his seat. Although he could already sit unassisted, he really seemed to enjoy the independence of being able to sit unassisted. I literally headed out THAT day to buy one of these neat chairs. Unfortunately, what I found at the local Wal-Mart was a competitor product called BebePod. It looked good enough, so I chucked out $35 or so and bought one.

For the first few days the BebePod was a dream. My 3-month-old enjoyed it as much as Lisa’s son did. But in less than a week, the yellow piece of foam that goes between baby’s legs broke off! The BebePod is made of two separate pieces of foam, and I was entirely disappointed with the lack of quality and longevity. So back I went to the chain store, to Target this time, where I found the original object of desire, the Bumbo chair.

This chair has now been with us for 5 months and hasn’t suffered any damage yet, not even from my 3-year-old taking turns sitting in it. My daughter is now over 9 months and a good sitter, but she still likes the comfort of her Bumbo. She uses it for play and for eating (when I take her to grandma’s house, for instance). This one definitely gets a thumbs up!
