As soon as your baby can hold their head up on their own, you can use the seat. The Bumbo Floor Seat allows your baby to maintain a sitting position before they can sit up independently. The deep seat with elevated leg openings lets the baby's back slide into the center of the rounded backrest, gently bringing them into an upright position. During the developmental phase, the Bumbo Floor Seat is invaluable as babies curiously observe their surroundings and prefer to sit upright rather than lie down. The seat is comfortably made from high-quality low-density foam, ensuring your baby sits comfortably. Additionally, the seat is lightweight and can be easily carried from one room to another, allowing you to keep an eye on your baby while they maintain their seated position on the floor. The Bumbo Floor Seat is equipped with a 3-point safety harness that keeps the baby in an upright position. Babies who like to squirm or wiggle cannot fall out. However, the 3-point safety harness does not completely restrict their freedom of movement. Since your baby needs to learn to sit upright, the Bumbo Floor Seat should not be used for extended periods. For cleaning the seat, note that the surface has an open structure, which acts like a sponge that absorbs too much water. Cleaning is very simple; use only a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Never submerge the Bumbo Floor Seat in water.
