Hi Emma, what are you thoughts about the upseat? Since it’s developed by physical therapist, do you still not recommend it? We’re thinking of using the upseat to help with his first solid food eating
High chairs don't help your baby learn to sit either, but they are very useful. Same with this product, which I highly recommend. I use it with the tray for many eating and play activities.
Hello, Emma. Can You please answer me this... What's your opinion about Upseat chair for babies who still doesn't sit independently (only for feeding)? How can we feed with solid food (and take care of their spine) babies if they are not sitting independently and we can not stil use highchairs, in lap or? Thank you for everything! Greetings from Sarajevo! ❤️
Never had the delusions that it helps teach baby to sit. Literally only used my boys chair when baby was tired of tummy time, I couldn't hold him and his head was getting flat lol the bumbo honestly looks so uncomfortable tho, never used one of those things.
I just bought the floor seat for my baby. And I just came to watch this video! But it’s okay. I’ll teach my baby to sit on his own. 😊 thanks for this video! #firsttimemom
I’m an infant teacher, and had an OT came to my classroom and told me how she didn’t like floor chairs, and now we no longer use them, or any other stationary item.
Baby floor chairs and high chairs are not for teaching your child to sit but it's a place for them to sit up straight with support to eat. I only use them for eating. Of course tummy time is important, but this floor seat works the same as the high chair. So both chairs are very helpful. but only use them for a small amount of time.
This is abit of a silly video. As if anyone ONLY sits a baby in floor seat when sitting. And for very long periods of time. My baby and every other baby I know, has multiple opportunities daily to sit on different surface with different supports. I personally love the bumbo. To bad mouth a great product is biast. And actually, her sitting in it I place toys on her tray, and she can grab at them alot easier than any other position.
Thank you so much for debunking the well-promoted items for babies that are actually not working for the baby. I'm a first-time mom and I'm happy that I was able to watch these kinds of videos. Thank you!
I have a bumbo and baby has been using it for 3 months. Purchased not for the purpose of aiding in sitting up but as a portable chair for feeding. It is great for that, we take it to his grandparents and restaurants as he is too small for a high chair. It was worth the money for us and I would buy again.
Same. My older 2 were more around 7 or 8 months and sitting unassisted. We purchased the tray and the toy addition. We fed and occupied baby camping a lot in the bumbo.
The bumbo is amazing . We had 5 friends plus myself who had babies at the same time .All of us going on to have 2 or 3 kids . All used the bumbo. My brothers kids used ours after. They never had trouble with anything since . A couple of them are nearing teenagers now. And are perfectly fine . If you worried about everything you would be wrapped up in cotton wool.
So just ignore professional advice because you anecdotally believe you didn’t mess up your kids? Thanks that’s really helpful for those of us who don’t care about our kids!
I don’t see the bumbo as helpful to learning to sit but more of something very handy and fun when you are somewhere and have nowhere to put baby which does happen even for good mums lol.
I stayed away when a friend told me her baby almost got stuck because of his cubby legs and she almost took him to the ER. To be fair, he was exceptionally chubby but it made me nervous on top of me knowing it wasn't developmentally appropriate.
i don’t agree with this video. it’s really convenient and we use it all the time. i seat my daughter when i cook, when i clean etc. initially she titled a little but within a week she sit up.
I used it with my now 2 year old he was sitting up slightly supported by 4 and a half months and fully by 5 months. Also he was walking by 11 months so Idk. It didnt hinder my son and ill be buying one for my newborn baby girl.
As a physiotherapist I can say that this is definetly harmful for the baby. Those poor hip joints and spine are simply not ready for sitting and this can lead to problems in the future. Child should achieve sitting on his/hers own.
I’ve been using the sit me up since my baby was about 2 months and the bumbo since 3.5 months. He’s been ahead since the beginning and loves to look around in a sitting position so that’s why I use it. He’s 4.5 months right now and is already starting to sit on his own. As long as you work with them everyday I don’t see the problem in using it. I do lots and lots of floor time.
Same here. I do a LOT of tummy time, and at 3 months my baby started rolling over. I'm not saying the information in this video is wrong, but I also agree with what you are saying Tabitha. Don't have them in the seats ALL DAY, and continue to do LOTS of tummy time. I also just recently purchased the sit me up. I'm a new mom working from home as a Medical Appeals Analyst (essentially a coder) and I have mats and baby bouncers and rockers and all kinds of things around to keep baby entertained, and help me get some work done as well so I can continue to support us both. It's like I'm also a baby daycare, or gym! Haha None of these things sit him up high enough (except his high chair) for him to play while sitting though, which he is showing more and more interest in every day. So I am going to use that when it comes in, in moderation, while continuing to do tummy time and I know everything will be just fine with my little one! Every situation is not the same. I believe when used correctly, at the right age (for your child), with caution and careful monitoring, the little ones will grow up just fine! 🙂
Same. My daughter has always preferred to be propped up so she can see everything. We do lots of tummy time and floor time and we use the floor seat which she loves and we do as well. She is almost 5 months now and can sit unassisted for a few minutes. I always recommend our floor seat, we use the fisher price one it’s our favorite. I still wouldn’t recommend to have them in it for long periods of time but in moderation is fine. Oh and our pediatrician gave the ok.
I have twins. One twin was ready to sit up but the other was always wanting to lay down so we got a bumbo chair for her. After about a week or two she was trying to sit up on her own without the chair. In my opinion the chair helped her figure things out but all children are different.
Well phooey! I just ordered a sit me us seat for my grandsons.. Now I think I am just gonna return it and not even open it.. Thank you for the suggestions and the content .. I am a lil old school but I do want the best for my grandkids ..💙
I am glad I came across this detailed explanation about these floor seats and I agree with you but I also think it’s kinda helpful for a little time when there is nobody to look after the baby while we do some kitchen work or laundry 🧺 we can keep the baby in the seat for a while especially in small spaces where bouncers can’t be fixed. Babies love watching around while we do work but leaving them alone often bores them and we hear them cry it gets difficult to do work then so I think it can be useful but for little time and small spaces to do work
As much as I hear what she’s saying about baby floor seats, I’m a single mom & needed to order one. Holding my baby every time I eat/cook/anything really isn’t realistic & the floor isn’t always an option. After doing research on the upseat it relieved a lot of guilt, my baby’s hips rotate out & arms aren’t sitting high. Get it if you need it!
Is the upseat any better? You mention the hips being affected, but the upseat allows the hips to open wider. Just curious as to your thoughts on the specific product
My family doctor told me to buy one of the floor seats. I bought the upseat. Now I'm wondering if it is even worth it. My little guy likes it for so long but after that, he's done.
Other people gave me used bumbo seat, jumper & walkers. I just take anything that they don’t use & make them useful. I have limited physical condition that’s why I can’t carry or play with babies all the time as I wish, so I do need tools to help me such as those stuff. My infant is growing up fine. As long as you don’t put your child in any tool or stuck with 1 activity for hours, he/she is fine. All of my nieces, nephews & friends’ babies used walkers & none of them have bow legs as experts claimed. I think moderate usage is a key.
I always suspected that these seats are producing an unnatural sitting position, so it is great to know that this is in fact so. Thanks for the video 💐
I bought a sit me up chair for my 5 month old when he was about 3 months. (She's right btw, it doesn't assist then with sitting at all) He can now sit up on his own, and honestly there's not much point to unless you're using it so they won't stray off
I am so grateful for all your videos! My husband and I passed on buying any baby equipment and gave our daughter as much tummy time as we could. She started crawling one week before turning 6 months old and has hit all her milestones early. She lives for floor time and tummy time. While she is still working on sitting she can sit independently for 15-30 seconds max and the topple over to crawl to a different toy. What can I say she loves to explore.
That's awesome. I'm trying to do the same with my baby who's 14 weeks old. Sometimes I find my girl just wants to be upright though and look around. How did you navigate that?
@@buu.888 Awe she sound like a curious one, so cute! As soon as my daughter had the proper head strength I would sit on the floor with her placed between my legs and I would support her torso by putting my hands on her ribs. Then I would place some of her favorite toys in front of her to encourage reaching, or I would read to her. I learned all these tips from this video : th-cam.com/video/UkN7j3To-uQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=EmmaHubbard My daughter is especially curious and loves to explore so she was army crawling before she could sit on her own for long periods of time. From 4-6 months I made sure we practiced sitting together every morning before taking her to daycare, and every evening before we put her to bed. She still prefers crawling to sitting but if she has a toy or is engaging with a caregiver she will sit without support for several minutes or until she gets bored. I also start playtime with her in a sitting position so she can continue to build strength in her core. I hope this helps. Good luck with your little one!
Each to their own. I bought a bouncer for my son and he hated it, and he hated tummy time. The seat helped give me a little relief because he wanted to be carried ALL the time lol. But I will say the seat we had didn't come up too high and it doesn't hold him in position like the other ones I had seen.
Hi @Alexis L you wouldn’t be doing everything wrong. I am sure you are an amazing parent! Sorry if these videos made you feel like that. If you are using these items just limit how long your little one is in it and still do tummy time. We all need a break at times and these items can give us that.
I honestly can't believe your watching video of a woman telling you what you should and shouldn't do . It's your baby your life. Not all babies / children are the same . You have to fdo what's best for you. They tell you not to let your kids do anything these days. So best to wrap them in cotton wool in a padded room and not let them have a life. Both our daughters went into their own cots in their own rooms at 2 weeks and yes their both still alive and sleep 13 hours all night. They are 12 and 9 . They were eating full on meals at 7 months lumps and all. Guess what they love every food no stomach or allergy problems. They slide upside down down the stairs, ride bikes with out helmets just like when we was kids. Stop letting a TH-cam video tell you how to raise your kids . To me this is more dangerous. To you as parents mental health .
Why did I just watched this now..I bought a floor sit today but my baby is going to be 5 months old in a few days..maybe I just use it but just like u said, for only a good 2-3 months maybe..I will definitely selling it later.. 😅
Our grandson has down syndrome and needs lots of help sitting. He is currently 12 months old and we were thinking about getting an Upseat. Is this floor seat acceptable? Thank you.
My wife recently gave birth to our baby, and I have been addicted to this channel ever since. I am actually looking to buy the bumbo and good thing I found this video.
I just want to say it’s impossible to put my baby in and take them out of the sit me up seat! Look at the skip hop sit up seat. My 4 month old is 19.2 lbs and sitting up really well already.
True toy industries claims beyond reality of the growth of child,its something like saying helping caterpillar from cocoon & making butterfly handicapped
I want to get the Bumbo seat not because it's nice to not have to hold him all the time, I can put him in the seat so he can watch me and observe his surroundings. I think it might be a problem if I left him in the seat all the time
I was thinking the same thing. My baby loves sitting and hates all other containers unless you’re interacting with him. Sometimes I just need to get something done. I figure this is the same rule as with other containers. Try not to let them be in there for more than 15 min at a time.
So my baby had 2 open heart surgeries and she's really tired of being in her back so I want to sit her up I also want to encourage her to roll and grab from side to side now she is great with one side but bad in another and we are establishing therapy however can you give me some ways to help her in all the areas she is 7 months and just under went her second surgery a month ago. She does roll from side to side for short periods and we do several methods of tummy time all of which she doesn't like.
Im thinking about it but then my baby is already sitting on his own at 5 months. I just put him in a sitting position next to me on the couch with toys in front of him and its so funny watching him lean left and right and readjusting himself while playing. So I decided not to get it..
I also would like to know how you feel about the Upseat. If you could please let people know what you think about the seat, that would be awesome. Thank you.
bumbo is easier to carry around the house than a highchair but since our baby spends more of his time on the floor mat, I got a used one. I didnt know they pretended the bumbo was anything else then an easy to carry arround sitting station
Loving these videos so much! I was wondering what kind of advice/tips on how to help a baby in a hip harness and activities one can do with them safety
wish I had seen this video before buying the fisher price sit me up. cost me $73. We put it together then place baby in it (she's 4 months) but she just looks super uncomfortable. We did not use it again after that and I decided to return it. Problem is, it's difficult to take it apart. :(
Also, what are your thoughts on the Primo lap belt? I use this a lot while at the computer, to enable him to sit on my lap while I work. Is this device bad for his growth or his body, or is this one okay?
In my mind:Ouh OK good information. Will not use it in my 3month old anymore. My reality: she currently in it, BC she doesn't want to be in bouncer or swing or any one else arms and she watch me cook😖
Hi @Mone’t Ramos sounds challenging. If you already have a floor seat it is fine to use it for short burst as there are times when we need our bubs to be entertained while we are busy doing jobs. Just make sure the floor seat is on the floor and not the bench or table and you are close by as there is a risk of injury if she falls to the side.
Try with baby wearing, there are many options on the market. Putting baby in the sitting position can harm her or his spine, it is really dangerous. I have only seen it in American YT videos, no one uses that seat apart from that part of the world.
Occupational and physical therapists are the experts on motor skill development. Physicians might have a paragraph in a textbook here or there that talks about this.
I love the floor seats. I live in a small space they make a great high chair for starting solids. Also my son could sit at 4 months slightly supported. However I would not use this more than 2 to 3 times a day and no more than 10 to 15min. Bc they can damage their hips. My son did fine he is 2 now and meeting all milestones. He was walking at 11 months. And yes we did use a walker lol twice 😂 he was too tall :( and flipped over so it went out the door.
You should look into getting a "highchair" that sits in the seat of a chair. They are really great for apartments and definitely better than a bumbo for baby to sit in and eat. They have a little try and everything. I found mine at the thrift store 😁
@@daphnietudor2953 I meant to say tray lol yea I don't have bumbo either. I have the fisher price floor seat and it looks more comfy imo but he gets it soooo messy if he eats in it 😂😅
My baby is 10 months old, and I'm a mother managing baby and wfh with no house help, and alone in day time, hence i put her in booster seat when I'm using washroom, cooking or doing something wherein i cant give her undivided attention, would you be kind to tell me where can u keep her when i do this quick work, otherwise i play with her on mats n so...your reply would be very helpful mam...
Would love to know what you think about the Ingenuity Baby Base 2-in-1 Booster Feeding and Floor Seat - used for feeding instead of a highchair after the baby can sit by themselves? Thank you! ❤
Hi Justin, a high chair is the best option when introducing solids, as it is better to have a seat where the backrest extends past their head for support. But if space is limited and you would prefer to use a floor seat, the Ingenuity Baby Base 2-in-1 Seat is better than a bumbo. The bumbo seat tilts backwards which means the baby leans backwards and this makes it more difficult for them to use their hands to pick up food. Also the leg slots are narrower in a bumbo which means it doesn't fit the child for long at all.
I don't know if its just because we use cloth diapers but my baby wouldn't even fit in the bumbo we were gifted not that it bothered me because I hate the things but the fisher price sit me up really did come in handy as my baby had excellent head control by two months and would get so upset if she wasn't in a seated position aside from me actively playing with her during tummy/back time and it was so difficult to keep her happy while I was doing things like eat or wash a few bottles. Also as per our pediatricians advice she's been allowed to sleep through the night with no night feedings since two months and barely needs naps most days so I couldn't even clean during naps if I didn't have her sit me up, bouncer and swing because she gets bored so quickly some days I have to move her from one to the other if I need more than five minutes to eat
I just want to know the people who are buying these seats and walkers with the idea that it’s teaching them to sit up and walk. Because I. It then with the intentions of it keeping my baby occupied long enough for me use the bathroom or just have a breather
Got this as a present for baby shower. The person that gifted it to me said I can put it on high benches which the product labels say DO NOT DO. I think I'll keep it and not use then sell it.... once my baby is too big for it
My baby is almost 5 months now, unfortunately he had a torticollis and now we are trying to get rid of flat head. That's the reason we try to limit him lying on his back as much as possible. He does some tummy time but of course he can't do it all day long (to be honest he is not a fun of it). What do you recommend in this situation? We sre trying to hold and carry him as much as possible. I thought bumbo seat will help us and he won't be needing to lay flat on his back.
My baby just turned 2 months is it okay if I start to help him sit up? I have a boppy pillow to prop him up with a lot of the time bc he has gerd. I was just wondering if doing that too early hinders any type of growth?
My cousin brought this over to our house and just left her baby in it. He would almost give himself a concussion every time he leaned over , even with the strap on. Thing is dangerous and upsetting.
I had a bumbo but hated the things because if I put bubs in it I couldn’t gets them back out because a) terry toweling nappies but b) the leg holes were so damn tight yes my bubbas were chunky but that has to be uncomfortable on little legs
I wanted a floor seat to help with feeding since we live in a small home with little room. But after watching this, I took the floor seat off the registry. Guess we'll have to hold to feed the baby.
Hi Emma, what are you thoughts about the upseat? Since it’s developed by physical therapist, do you still not recommend it? We’re thinking of using the upseat to help with his first solid food eating

What about the Up Seat?
I would love to know this too!
This needs an update i just got in a massive fight on reddit about saying its just as bad
I’m buying it to put my daughter in after I’ve fed her, so I don’t have to hold her for 20 min.
Hello, Emma. Can You please answer me this... What's your opinion about Upseat chair for babies who still doesn't sit independently (only for feeding)? How can we feed with solid food (and take care of their spine) babies if they are not sitting independently and we can not stil use highchairs, in lap or? Thank you for everything! Greetings from Sarajevo! ❤️
im pretty sure it is recommended to start solids once baby can hold their head up themselves
Never had the delusions that it helps teach baby to sit. Literally only used my boys chair when baby was tired of tummy time, I couldn't hold him and his head was getting flat lol the bumbo honestly looks so uncomfortable tho, never used one of those things.
Emma please respond. What are your thoughts on the upseat?
I would love to know too!!
Es ist alles Quatsch. Das Baby lernt es von alleine, wenn sein Instinkt dafür reif ist
That’s my first thought, if they’re being forced in a certain Position by something, their muscles aren’t holding them up and growing
I just bought the floor seat for my baby. And I just came to watch this video! But it’s okay. I’ll teach my baby to sit on his own. 😊 thanks for this video! #firsttimemom
Der Sitz ist ein Gefängnis
I’m an infant teacher, and had an OT came to my classroom and told me how she didn’t like floor chairs, and now we no longer use them, or any other stationary item.
What about Upseat Baby Chair Booster?
That’s the one I’m using for my nanny baby she’s 4 months
Upseat is not good too?
@@ekaterinamatveeva8696 no. Opposite. It is great
Yes what about upseat
I (mistakenly) thought the sitters where to be used AFTER they could sit up independently as a "chair" 😶
Me too!
They are for infants that can hold their heads up independently but still need support for sitting
I thought so too. It isn't?
What about Upseat? They saying that it’s very good for baby’s, is it true?
Yeah, but the seat thing will prepare them for the kiddie Lazyboy, until they graduate to the full grown 600lbs adult Lazyboy.
😂
This is scary and upsetting - companies selling products that are actually bad for our children! Thank you for making this video
Baby floor chairs and high chairs are not for teaching your child to sit but it's a place for them to sit up straight with support to eat. I only use them for eating. Of course tummy time is important, but this floor seat works the same as the high chair. So both chairs are very helpful. but only use them for a small amount of time.
I am loving all these tips and tricks Emma. Very helpful and totally makes sense. I cannot wait for the next video!

I was about to buy a snug seat thank you for saving my money, really love your videos
This is abit of a silly video. As if anyone ONLY sits a baby in floor seat when sitting. And for very long periods of time.

Is the upseat any better?
I have a bumbo and baby has been using it for 3 months.
Purchased not for the purpose of aiding in sitting up but as a portable chair for feeding.
It is great for that, we take it to his grandparents and restaurants as he is too small for a high chair.
It was worth the money for us and I would buy again.
Same. My older 2 were more around 7 or 8 months and sitting unassisted. We purchased the tray and the toy addition. We fed and occupied baby camping a lot in the bumbo.
Same, used it for feeding.
Same I use it for when we go to the beach or a picnic. I only got it after he was able to sit on his own though
The bumbo is amazing . We had 5 friends plus myself who had babies at the same time .All of us going on to have 2 or 3 kids . All used the bumbo. My brothers kids used ours after. They never had trouble with anything since . A couple of them are nearing teenagers now. And are perfectly fine . If you worried about everything you would be wrapped up in cotton wool.
So just ignore professional advice because you anecdotally believe you didn’t mess up your kids? Thanks that’s really helpful for those of us who don’t care about our kids!
What about the Upseat that was created for posture, because I'm interested in using that but once the baby can sit up on its own?
I don’t see the bumbo as helpful to learning to sit but more of something very handy and fun when you are somewhere and have nowhere to put baby which does happen even for good mums lol.
Almost bought one. Thank you for saving me money!
No problem!
I watched this just before checking out my cart 😂. Peew! Thank you indeed 😊❤️
I stayed away from these when someone told me they cause hip problems. So glad I did.
Glad this video helped
I stayed away when a friend told me her baby almost got stuck because of his cubby legs and she almost took him to the ER. To be fair, he was exceptionally chubby but it made me nervous on top of me knowing it wasn't developmentally appropriate.
How about the upseat baby chair?.. it claims that it will help baby sit straight....
i don’t agree with this video. it’s really convenient and we use it all the time. i seat my daughter when i cook, when i clean etc. initially she titled a little but within a week she sit up.
I used it with my now 2 year old he was sitting up slightly supported by 4 and a half months and fully by 5 months. Also he was walking by 11 months so Idk. It didnt hinder my son and ill be buying one for my newborn baby girl.
I didnt use them to help my kid sit. But he loved being held upright. Dont leave them in it more than 30min though
Being convenient and being good for the kids development and posture are 2 different things.
As a physiotherapist I can say that this is definetly harmful for the baby. Those poor hip joints and spine are simply not ready for sitting and this can lead to problems in the future. Child should achieve sitting on his/hers own.
What is your opinion of the Up Seat?
You are amazing. I cannot wait to refer my mom friends to you. It's only a matter of time till your channel grows 🙂
Thanks so much for your kind words. Hope you continue to find the videos helpful
Coming from a doctor, this is highly recommended. Kudos for slaying out the myths.
Thank you for this, good thing I watched this before buying one.
No worries Elisha. Glad it was helpful.
Same here
Thank you so much for your videos, as a first-time mom I was very confused with all the product ads from Instagram. We need more videos like this.
You are so welcome!

Is it ok to use it just for when they're eating and to play for a little time everyday?
Do you have the same thoughts with the upseat? Which doesn’t have the back tilt seat? Thanks
What do you recommend for a baby with reflux. I can't lay my 10wk old flat.
I have twins. One twin was ready to sit up but the other was always wanting to lay down so we got a bumbo chair for her. After about a week or two she was trying to sit up on her own without the chair. In my opinion the chair helped her figure things out but all children are different.
it’s nice to hear the other side
Well phooey! I just ordered a sit me us seat for my grandsons.. Now I think I am just gonna return it and not even open it.. Thank you for the suggestions and the content .. I am a lil old school but I do want the best for my grandkids ..💙
ty , i figured when someone told me to get this sounds like the walker. I removed it off my chart
Glad you found the information helpful

I was reading these comments in hopes that this exact question was answered
I also came to ask this question
Hopefully someone will answer that Q.
Anybody? I just bought $100 upseat
My family doctor told me to buy one of the floor seats. I bought the upseat. Now I'm wondering if it is even worth it. My little guy likes it for so long but after that, he's done.
What about the Upseat? I’ve heard it’s better than others as far as how it positions the baby
Your videos stress me more than help me. So pretty much we don’t buy anything? Or do anything? I’m so confused! :(
Other people gave me used bumbo seat, jumper & walkers. I just take anything that they don’t use & make them useful. I have limited physical condition that’s why I can’t carry or play with babies all the time as I wish, so I do need tools to help me such as those stuff. My infant is growing up fine. As long as you don’t put your child in any tool or stuck with 1 activity for hours, he/she is fine. All of my nieces, nephews & friends’ babies used walkers & none of them have bow legs as experts claimed. I think moderate usage is a key.
I always suspected that these seats are producing an unnatural sitting position, so it is great to know that this is in fact so. Thanks for the video 💐
No worries!
Ive only used things like this when Im noticing my kids are getting flat heads. But all my babies hated the bumbo.
Is it ok to use these as a chair once the child starts sitting independently ?
I bought a sit me up chair for my 5 month old when he was about 3 months. (She's right btw, it doesn't assist then with sitting at all) He can now sit up on his own, and honestly there's not much point to unless you're using it so they won't stray off
I am so grateful for all your videos! My husband and I passed on buying any baby equipment and gave our daughter as much tummy time as we could. She started crawling one week before turning 6 months old and has hit all her milestones early. She lives for floor time and tummy time. While she is still working on sitting she can sit independently for 15-30 seconds max and the topple over to crawl to a different toy. What can I say she loves to explore.
That's awesome. I'm trying to do the same with my baby who's 14 weeks old. Sometimes I find my girl just wants to be upright though and look around. How did you navigate that?
@@buu.888 Awe she sound like a curious one, so cute! As soon as my daughter had the proper head strength I would sit on the floor with her placed between my legs and I would support her torso by putting my hands on her ribs. Then I would place some of her favorite toys in front of her to encourage reaching, or I would read to her. I learned all these tips from this video : th-cam.com/video/UkN7j3To-uQ/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=EmmaHubbard
My daughter is especially curious and loves to explore so she was army crawling before she could sit on her own for long periods of time. From 4-6 months I made sure we practiced sitting together every morning before taking her to daycare, and every evening before we put her to bed. She still prefers crawling to sitting but if she has a toy or is engaging with a caregiver she will sit without support for several minutes or until she gets bored. I also start playtime with her in a sitting position so she can continue to build strength in her core. I hope this helps. Good luck with your little one!
Each to their own. I bought a bouncer for my son and he hated it, and he hated tummy time. The seat helped give me a little relief because he wanted to be carried ALL the time lol. But I will say the seat we had didn't come up too high and it doesn't hold him in position like the other ones I had seen.
What seat did you buy?
I bought a product like this a year ago, total waste of money.
Only my 2nd video in & I'm literally doing everything wrong for my baby.
Hi @Alexis L you wouldn’t be doing everything wrong. I am sure you are an amazing parent! Sorry if these videos made you feel like that. If you are using these items just limit how long your little one is in it and still do tummy time. We all need a break at times and these items can give us that.
I honestly can't believe your watching video of a woman telling you what you should and shouldn't do . It's your baby your life. Not all babies / children are the same . You have to fdo what's best for you. They tell you not to let your kids do anything these days. So best to wrap them in cotton wool in a padded room and not let them have a life. Both our daughters went into their own cots in their own rooms at 2 weeks and yes their both still alive and sleep 13 hours all night. They are 12 and 9 .
They were eating full on meals at 7 months lumps and all. Guess what they love every food no stomach or allergy problems. They slide upside down down the stairs, ride bikes with out helmets just like when we was kids. Stop letting a TH-cam video tell you how to raise your kids . To me this is more dangerous. To you as parents mental health .
@@andcohen12 that's the big problem...these are not baby sitters
@@mfoth20 10/10 for overreaction and exaggeration
Why did I just watched this now..I bought a floor sit today but my baby is going to be 5 months old in a few days..maybe I just use it but just like u said, for only a good 2-3 months maybe..I will definitely selling it later.. 😅
Our grandson has down syndrome and needs lots of help sitting. He is currently 12 months old and we were thinking about getting an Upseat. Is this floor seat acceptable? Thank you.
My wife recently gave birth to our baby, and I have been addicted to this channel ever since. I am actually looking to buy the bumbo and good thing I found this video.
Congrats on the new arrival Kristher! So glad you’re finding the channel helpful 🙂
I just want to say it’s impossible to put my baby in and take them out of the sit me up seat! Look at the skip hop sit up seat. My 4 month old is 19.2 lbs and sitting up really well already.
Hello. I am confused. He is 3 months old. 7400 kilo 63 cm he is strong.when can he sit? He is doing a lot since 2 months.
What about babies with a significant delay?they will make a use of those equipment for more than 2months.
True toy industries claims beyond reality of the growth of child,its something like saying helping caterpillar from cocoon & making butterfly handicapped
I want to get the Bumbo seat not because it's nice to not have to hold him all the time, I can put him in the seat so he can watch me and observe his surroundings. I think it might be a problem if I left him in the seat all the time
I was thinking the same thing. My baby loves sitting and hates all other containers unless you’re interacting with him. Sometimes I just need to get something done. I figure this is the same rule as with other containers. Try not to let them be in there for more than 15 min at a time.
Just a mat on the floor will be better
I just lay a blanket on the floor.
So my baby had 2 open heart surgeries and she's really tired of being in her back so I want to sit her up I also want to encourage her to roll and grab from side to side now she is great with one side but bad in another and we are establishing therapy however can you give me some ways to help her in all the areas she is 7 months and just under went her second surgery a month ago. She does roll from side to side for short periods and we do several methods of tummy time all of which she doesn't like.
Im thinking about it but then my baby is already sitting on his own at 5 months. I just put him in a sitting position next to me on the couch with toys in front of him and its so funny watching him lean left and right and readjusting himself while playing. So I decided not to get it..
I also would like to know how you feel about the Upseat. If you could please let people know what you think about the seat, that would be awesome. Thank you.
Use it in washroom floor when mommy needs to go washroom
bumbo is easier to carry around the house than a highchair but since our baby spends more of his time on the floor mat, I got a used one. I didnt know they pretended the bumbo was anything else then an easy to carry arround sitting station
My baby hated sitting in one of these chairs. It was a waste of money. Wish I had seen this video before purchasing haha.
Loving these videos so much! I was wondering what kind of advice/tips on how to help a baby in a hip harness and activities one can do with them safety
What do you recommend using for feeding? Is there a high chair you recommend?
wish I had seen this video before buying the fisher price sit me up. cost me $73. We put it together then place baby in it (she's 4 months) but she just looks super uncomfortable. We did not use it again after that and I decided to return it. Problem is, it's difficult to take it apart. :(
Hope you can find someone to help you take it apart and return it. Baby equipment can add up.
I have a bumbo with the tray on it but I intended to use it as a portable high chair when my baby is a bit older and already sitting up on her own.
Can /should I put my baby in a high chair (7month) if he can’t sit yet ?
What if u cant lay baby on his back due to plagiocephaly. Whats worse
Also, what are your thoughts on the Primo lap belt? I use this a lot while at the computer, to enable him to sit on my lap while I work. Is this device bad for his growth or his body, or is this one okay?
I am buying one for my baby to sit on my counter why I prepare meals.
In my mind:Ouh OK good information. Will not use it in my 3month old anymore.
My reality: she currently in it, BC she doesn't want to be in bouncer or swing or any one else arms and she watch me cook😖
Hi @Mone’t Ramos sounds challenging. If you already have a floor seat it is fine to use it for short burst as there are times when we need our bubs to be entertained while we are busy doing jobs. Just make sure the floor seat is on the floor and not the bench or table and you are close by as there is a risk of injury if she falls to the side.
Try with baby wearing, there are many options on the market. Putting baby in the sitting position can harm her or his spine, it is really dangerous. I have only seen it in American YT videos, no one uses that seat apart from that part of the world.
Already bought one. 😅 but your practice are very usefull. Thanks.

Why are we going to listen to an occupational therapist on medical advice? Shouldn’t you be giving advice to people working in businesses?
Occupational and physical therapists are the experts on motor skill development. Physicians might have a paragraph in a textbook here or there that talks about this.
My son is three months I can begin these steps already ?
some cushions around him,, works with my first and now with my 2 baby
Cushions work a treat
Do you have the same thoughts with the upseat? Which doesn’t have the back tilt seat?
I love the floor seats. I live in a small space they make a great high chair for starting solids. Also my son could sit at 4 months slightly supported. However I would not use this more than 2 to 3 times a day and no more than 10 to 15min. Bc they can damage their hips. My son did fine he is 2 now and meeting all milestones. He was walking at 11 months. And yes we did use a walker lol twice 😂 he was too tall :( and flipped over so it went out the door.
You should look into getting a "highchair" that sits in the seat of a chair. They are really great for apartments and definitely better than a bumbo for baby to sit in and eat. They have a little try and everything. I found mine at the thrift store 😁
@@Carlie_flower thanks. I never used a bumbo seat lol never owned one. I used a floor seat. And the summer infant high chair lol
@@daphnietudor2953 I meant to say tray lol yea I don't have bumbo either. I have the fisher price floor seat and it looks more comfy imo but he gets it soooo messy if he eats in it 😂😅
My baby is 10 months old, and I'm a mother managing baby and wfh with no house help, and alone in day time, hence i put her in booster seat when I'm using washroom, cooking or doing something wherein i cant give her undivided attention, would you be kind to tell me where can u keep her when i do this quick work, otherwise i play with her on mats n so...your reply would be very helpful mam...
Hi! May I know what are your thoughts on activity centers such as the skiphop activity centre / FP / etc?
Would love to know what you think about the Ingenuity Baby Base 2-in-1 Booster Feeding and Floor Seat - used for feeding instead of a highchair after the baby can sit by themselves? Thank you! ❤
Would you say that the Bumbo is a good alternative to a high chair? Simply for eating? Or not good to use at all?
Hi Justin, a high chair is the best option when introducing solids, as it is better to have a seat where the backrest extends past their head for support.
But if space is limited and you would prefer to use a floor seat, the Ingenuity Baby Base 2-in-1 Seat is better than a bumbo. The bumbo seat tilts backwards which means the baby leans backwards and this makes it more difficult for them to use their hands to pick up food. Also the leg slots are narrower in a bumbo which means it doesn't fit the child for long at all.
how about Upseat baby floor/booster seat?
I don't know if its just because we use cloth diapers but my baby wouldn't even fit in the bumbo we were gifted not that it bothered me because I hate the things but the fisher price sit me up really did come in handy as my baby had excellent head control by two months and would get so upset if she wasn't in a seated position aside from me actively playing with her during tummy/back time and it was so difficult to keep her happy while I was doing things like eat or wash a few bottles. Also as per our pediatricians advice she's been allowed to sleep through the night with no night feedings since two months and barely needs naps most days so I couldn't even clean during naps if I didn't have her sit me up, bouncer and swing because she gets bored so quickly some days I have to move her from one to the other if I need more than five minutes to eat
I just want to know the people who are buying these seats and walkers with the idea that it’s teaching them to sit up and walk. Because I. It then with the intentions of it keeping my baby occupied long enough for me use the bathroom or just have a breather
Got this as a present for baby shower. The person that gifted it to me said I can put it on high benches which the product labels say DO NOT DO. I think I'll keep it and not use then sell it.... once my baby is too big for it
My baby is almost 5 months now, unfortunately he had a torticollis and now we are trying to get rid of flat head. That's the reason we try to limit him lying on his back as much as possible. He does some tummy time but of course he can't do it all day long (to be honest he is not a fun of it). What do you recommend in this situation? We sre trying to hold and carry him as much as possible. I thought bumbo seat will help us and he won't be needing to lay flat on his back.
My baby just turned 2 months is it okay if I start to help him sit up? I have a boppy pillow to prop him up with a lot of the time bc he has gerd. I was just wondering if doing that too early hinders any type of growth?
It's heavy but quick installment from vehicle to vehicle. My 10 month old seems to really like it
I'm glad I didn't buy my son those. Thanks for this video. 😊
Glad I could help!
Hi thank you for the advice. Was about to buy a product like this. Any Baby Bouncer Seats you can recommend? Thank you
what are your thoughts on The Upseat?
My cousin brought this over to our house and just left her baby in it. He would almost give himself a concussion every time he leaned over , even with the strap on. Thing is dangerous and upsetting.
I had a bumbo but hated the things because if I put bubs in it I couldn’t gets them back out because a) terry toweling nappies but b) the leg holes were so damn tight yes my bubbas were chunky but that has to be uncomfortable on little legs
I wanted a floor seat to help with feeding since we live in a small home with little room. But after watching this, I took the floor seat off the registry. Guess we'll have to hold to feed the baby.
She has a video on high chairs for feeding but im confused now lol
Just bought mine yesterday but I'm using it as a feeding chair, I put it on the dining chairs....
