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 upright independently. The deep seat with elevated leg openings lets the baby's back slide into the center of the rounded backrest, gently positioning them upright. During the developmental phase, the Bumbo Floor Seat provides valuable support as babies curiously observe their surroundings and prefer sitting up rather than lying down. The seat is designed for comfort, ensuring that the baby sits comfortably. Additionally, the seat is lightweight and easy to carry 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 wiggle or squirm cannot fall out. However, the 3-point safety harness does not completely restrict their freedom of movement. Your baby needs to learn to sit upright, so the Bumbo Floor Seat should not be used for extended periods. For cleaning the seat, note that the surface has an open structure, acting like a sponge that absorbs too much water. Cleaning is very simple. Use only a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Never submerge the Bumbo Floor Seat in water.
