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 guiding 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 up rather than lie 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 remain seated 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, yet 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, which acts 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.
