I hate it, it is not worth $40 either! My son does not like it and as soon as he is in it one leg slides in, and he slouches to the side, he is the typical size of a 4 1/2 month old, not to small, not too big, age reccomendations for this are 3 months and up, all i got to say is, i should have kept the reciept!!!!!

I'm so sorry the Bumbo has not worked out for you. Maybe if you can't return it - you can try it again in a month or so and see if it works out any better.

It worked out really well for my twin boys. We started them in it at about 5 months and they got a little too big for it at about 10 months. They actually liked being able to sit up and look around, and it freed up my hands for short durations of time.

I love ours. When I was working, I put my dd in it right at 3 months and set her on my desk. She is now 8.5 months, and we still take it everywhere. If we go to a restaurant, we use it instead of a high chair.

my little guy would like it if he didnt slide in it into an uncomforable position, im thinking about buyin the little tray for it to see if that helps, i wanna get some use out of a $40 chair

My twins like them - it's so great to have one be able to sit up while I sit with the other one, rather than having someone laying down or propped in a bouncy seat or swing (which they're kind of getting sick of now!). BUT... if you can't get yours to like it, you can always resell on craigslist - I think they're a pretty hot item right now, and you could probably get at least half of your money back. Actually, I think people who are searching for bumbo seats often post their requests on craigslist, and you might be able to sell them that way too.
