Bumbo Baby Seat
Product Info: The Bumbo baby sitter is a seat that is designed to hold babies who cannot sit upright, in an upright sitting position. It is a bucket type seat so that your baby can sit up and look around at the world surrounding them.
Age recommendation: 3 months and up. Usually when baby can hold their head upright, then they would be able to use this seat
Other Information: Comes in a variety of colors such as pink, purple, blue, yellow and green. You can also purchase a tray that attaches to the Bumbo where you can give your baby snacks and such, like a mini- high chair. This item is also very easy to clean since its made of a soft sponge like material. This item is not meant for use in bathtubs or pools. There is a competitive item on the market also called the Bebe Pod.
Average Price: Price is average around $39.99. I have seen them as cheap as $34.99 at wholesale clubs and you can get a good secondhand one cheap on resell sites such as Ebay and Craigslist.
My opinion: Check out my Opinion Blog for a full opinion. In short, I do not feel they are worth the money and most babies lose interest in them when they become mobile.
**PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECENT RECALL ON THE BOXES OF THE BUMBO. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO ON THE RECALL.**

Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo
Product Information: A new spin on the old doorway jumpers. This is a stationary jumper making it safer for baby. It has a comfortable seat that turns 360 degrees. There are two toys that hang from the top as well as toys around the jumper itself, letting your baby enjoy a world of rainforest animals and sounds. This item also has a 3 position height adjustment.
Age recommendation: birth and up. Although its best to wait until baby has full head control which for most babies is around three months or so.
Other information: requires three AA batteries
Average Price: $79.99
My opinion: This is a great toy. It is stationary so your baby is safer than in the doorway jumper. It folds a little bit for storage. This is a great item that will keep your baby entertained all while they exercise those new leg muscles.
