Bumbo Baby Seat - Aqua

We received our Bumbo seat as a gift from my wife's colleagues just before she started her maternity leave. The chair is designed to allow your baby to sit upright even before they are able to hold themselves up, which is a great help for weary arms.
The seat is designed to hug the bum and legs of your child therefore eliminating the need for straps, which is great and saves time when you are on your own with your baby and you just need to do something quickly or run to the bathroom. Just pop the little one in the seat on the floor, and you can do whatever you need to do.
The seat is made from a low-density foam which is non-toxic and lightweight, which make it a very safe option for even the smallest of babies.
The issue I have with it is that, even though very cool and useful, it is a one trick pony. And even though that trick is a good one some parents (like us) have a swing and/or bouncer seat already, so to fork out over $60 on the Bumbo might not be the best investment. Though if cost is not a concern then this is a very useful item for any new parent to have.
Our son seems to really enjoy sitting in the Bumbo seat as it gives him a more upright position than either his swing or bouncy chair, which helps him watch television easier (he loves the TV especially hockey, football and soccer - which are alright by me!) and gives him some 'big-boy' independence.
