Depending on the physical development and age of the child, some babies will be able to move out of the Bumbo, so never leave your child unattended. Ideal for babies from around 3 months to a year and beyond! Testers found the seat especially useful at feeding time, and to allow a younger sibling to watch an older child at play. Bumbos are suitable for children up to 22lbs in weight. The inventor discovered by observation that babies have an urge and a natural reaction to always want to sit upright on its own without being held by parents or props.

Have you ever been so tired that you couldn’t remember what you did earlier in the day, an hour ago, a minute ago? Don’t try guessing - let this infant care timer help you out.This is the only digital infant timer with an easy to read LCD that displays the elapsed time since your infant’s last feeding, diaper change, nap, or when your child was last medicated, eliminating the need for tracking child care needs by memory or using a chart. The cell phone-sized device has four separate timers (diaper, feed, sleep, and a miscellaneous timer) that reset at a touch of a button and commence counting up from zero. When the preset time interval is reached, an audible alarm sounds and the corresponding button lights up to remind you or a baby-sitter that your infant requires attention. The timer has a belt clip for ease of transport, a built-in flashlight, clock, and a sliding nursing button that reminds mothers of which side the child nursed from last.
