The Bumbo Baby Chair is a very popular way of teaching your baby to start sitting up as they begin to develop but what age range is the best to start using the chair and how old can by child be before the Bumbo Chair can no longer be used. This article discusses which age range is the best for using the Bumbo Baby Chair for your baby.
When your baby first starts to move around and begins to take an interest and to think about exploring their environment you will probably start thinking about which chair is best for your baby. The Bumbo Baby Chair is an ideal first choice at this stage as it provides a safe environment for your baby as well as teaching them to start sitting up and supporting themselves. Made from a tough moulded foam the Bumbo chair is wider at the base than at the top so provides support for your baby during this crucial stage of their development.
You shouldn't start thinking about using a Bumbo baby chair before your baby is 4 months old as they will generally not have the muscle strength be sufficiently support themselves before this stage. Your baby needs to be able to support his or her head unaided before they can sit in a chair of this type.
Once they have enough muscle strength to support their heads the Bumbo Baby Chair is ideal as a seat in which you can place your baby. When combined with the Bumbo Play Tray your baby can sit comfortably playing with toys and you can be sure they won't be able to wander off getting themselves into trouble. The Bumbo Chair is wider at the base than the top so provides stability but should not be placed on raised areas such as tables so put the chair on the floor.
At some point your baby's muscle strength will improve and they will become curious about the wider area around them. This stage can vary of baby to baby but usually happens around 9 to 12 months. At this stage your baby may attempt to climb out of the Bumbo Chair and their natural curiosity will drive them to explore. Once your baby reaches this stage it's time to put away the Bumbo Baby Chair and move onto other things.
