We just had our yellow bumbo seat tested after hearing that other yellow bumbo seats were found to contain lead. Our yellow bumbo seat turned out to have unacceptable levels of Cadmium, a heavy metal that is a known carcinogen. Do not buy the yellow seats. There is a high likelihood that you will be exposing your baby to dangerous chemicals. If you already have a yellow bumbo, get it tested or if you can't do that, get rid of it. Here is a link to a blog about this issue: [...]

The other colors have not been shown to be positive for either lead or cadmium, so you should be fine purchasing a different color.

If you have a yellow bumbo seat, consider contacting the manufacturer and the Consumer Product Safety Commission to complain. It is an outrage that a seat for babies, advertised as non-toxic, is actually quite toxic and potentially dangerous.

So as everyone knows this seat is a must-have! I just bought one for my 4mo son! He loves to sit up and see everything and this seat is easy to take anywhere. My only recommendation/complaint for others (and not worth reducing my rating) is the size of the leg openings... I understand they need to be snug to hold baby up but they are awkward for babies with fat legs! My son isn't obese by any means but his legs hardly fit and are really hard to get out of the chair. But he loves it! We also own the clear tray... makes it so easy for him to play with toys!

This helped us in so many ways with both of our children. It's great to have a place to put the baby when you are cooking dinner or just need to set them down for a moment. It's also great to bring to restaurants to avoid the yucky high chairs or friend's houses so the baby has a place to sit while you eat. The only thing I would change is it needs a strap to hold the baby in it. They tend to arch their back and can flop right out of it if you are not careful. We had to stop using this earlier with our second child because she was particularly adept at this and it scared us after a while. However, even those few months she could use it were well worth the money. Plus most of the time we had her with us close by so we could keep an eye on her. We sold ours a bit early. I wish I had it for my 2 year old so I could use it as a booster for the kitchen chair.

My daughter had to have yellow and It was difficult to find. Amazon had it.
Fast shipping and it as delivered in perfect conditions.
Thanks.

It was hard to find the yellow bumbo. We didn't want the blue, pink and green versions that are so common. We got the last one in stock. It took a while to get. As far as the product goes we haven't used it yet since our child is still on the way. Some of our friends love them and some don't. We shall find out soon for ourselves.

I enjoy this Bumbo seat for my 7 month daughter that is special needs and is having difficultiies sitting up. It was highly recommended by her phyical therapist.

What a wonderful chair! Barely used for less than 4 weeks and baby can sit up unassisted!

the bumbo chair is absolutely awesome. my daughter used this from 3 months all the way to 1 year old. she loved being able to sit up especially at family gatherings instead of being passed from hand to hand. we loved it so much i even bought one for my nephew, who is 3 months old. he loves sitting up and being able to see what's going on around him.
it is light weight and cleans up really well with a damp cloth. we've even travelled abroad with it.
