I have to tell you about a great baby chair my friends had at a barbecue that I recently attended. It looked like a cushioned booster seat with a wide handle that came up between the baby’s legs. They called it a Bumbo Seat. My friend’s five-month-old little girl was happily passed around to guests until her parents brought out the odd-looking baby seat. They then plopped her on the center of the table into the Bumbo Seat. She was sitting in the middle of all the action as happy as can be with no worries of her wobbly body crashing out of the chair. I loved that the chair was extremely durable, very easy to carry and perfect for babies who can’t sit up on their own.

I guarantee that if I have a third child, I will definitely be getting one of these seats and taking it with me everywhere, especially parties. Then I won’t have to stalk everybody with my child, secretly hoping they will want to hold him or her while I go and play with the adults.
