For years I've been going from office chair to meeting chair to desk chair to car chair to dinner chair to home office chair to recliner chair (rinse and repeat). But until the last week or so, Babe-O couldn't really sit anywhere, at least not without some help. But now she can finally sit up on her own, which means that we can stick her in her high chair or her Bumbo sitter and let her chill out in the room with us while we do stuff. She loves it and will either watch us bustle around doing our thing or will amuse herself with her toys.
The Bumbo sitter is a really cool invention, because it can actually prop up a baby pretty well even when the baby is too small to sit up solo. We could put Babe-O in hers when she was tiny, although until recently she would either tip over to one side or get tired and start to cry if she was in there for more than a minute or two -- much love for the Bumbo.
Anyway, the product is great but the marketing is quite terrible. If you are ever at the baby store, be sure to check out the Bumbo box. Just as a preview, Below is the photo they use, which features the two ugliest babies I've ever seen in print. And best of all, they look like tiny versions of the guys from TV's King of Queens.
How's this for an obscure television reference?

You should see some of the babies on the gerber site - they made some POOR choices there... :)
ReplyDeleteI loved our bumbo, but I agree about the marketing/packaging.
ReplyDeleteIlanna -- nothing wrong with an ugly baby...but I'm doing okay without one!
ReplyDeleteJude -- our Bumbo was the first baby-related product we owned. Good stuff! I recommend the little plastic tray accessory.
Okay, the KoQ reference is hilarious. Not to mention apt.

ReplyDeleteI laugh out loud every time I think about it.
