Keen Visits Bumbo in South Africa

The Keen crew flew to Bumbo headquarters in South Africa last week to go over some business items and learn about the amazing charitable aspect of the company. What an amazing trip!

Bumbo’s Bert Snyman took me around Pretoria to learn more about the company’s charitable arm. To see Bumbo’s charity involvement in its local community is a truly special thing. The company helps thousands of people every month through several different organizations in and around Pretoria, South Africa, its hometown. Bumbo filters most of its profits to Maranatha Bana, a non-profit organization that it created. Maranatha Bana runs its own organizations and also helps other charities in Pretoria. By the way, Maranatha Bana loosely means “He will come for the children” in the local Africaans language.

Announcing Winner of the National Parenting Center

Pink or blue, this toilet training seat was a huge hit with our young wanna-be toilet users. Their parents were pretty enthusiastic as well. So comfortable is this seat that some parents reported that their children spent hours happily sitting, singing, reading, basically any and everything except what the seat is supposed to be for! Oh well, not to worry, it'll come...

Testimonials

"What a neat concept someone has here... Our son is 6 months old & we still use the Bumbo for feeding him. He is small and has small legs so he fits in it perfect. We like to let him sit in it and play or teeth on a biscuit too and he enjoys that ... Great buy for your money! Very portable too ... Easy to clean!"

Mason's Mama Texas

"I was given this as a gift with my second child and wished it had been around for my first. We took this thing with us everywhere, especially out to eat. She could easily sit in it at 2 months old ... She would sit for a long time in it. Once she was eating food we fed her in the Bumbo and never used a high chair. She used it for several months and as much as we used it, it was worth every penny. It wipes clean. My third child has been using it since he was a month and a half old. My children all weighed over 15 pounds by 2 months and had fat thighs but they still fit in it fine. It is on the top of my list for baby gifts!!! ... Use it early and often, great gift and worth every penny!"

Olivia D. P. Whiteside

"I purchased a Bumbo for my sister and she has used it for everything. He sat up in it, he ate in it until we bought him a high chair and she absolutely loved it. After she was through with it, she gave it back to me to pass on to another friend. I gave it to a friend we met in Hawaii as a baby shower gift and she LOVES it as well. I've even seen mothers in restaurants with Bumbos. They are extremely convenient, easy to clean and very safe, with proper supervision. My best friend is having a baby shower on Saturday and I am purchasing another one for her. I highly recommend the Bumbo."

Natasha P Beaufort, SC

"My mom bought this for my son when he started trying to sit up. We put him in it and he loves it, he sits there like a little champ. He likes to sit in it surrounded by his little toys and when we have family time. I plan to buy my niece one when her little one is ready for it."

Rebecca B

"I’ve been really excited about writing my Bumbo Baby Sitter review for a while now since it’s definitely one of the most used baby gadgets in our collection! When I was pregnant I kept seeing these Bumbo contraptions EVERYWHERE. Baby showers, baby shops, parenting blogs, friends’ houses, you name it ! They were taking over the world! I knew I’d have to give it a shot eventually! When Gretchen was about three months old I bought our Bumbo and a tray. The seat is recommended from about 3-14-months, but really it can be used as soon as your babe is strong enough to hold her head up and not slouch around uncomfortably. Gretchen really started to use it around 3 1/2-months and still likes to use it now at 15-months ... I’ll also go ahead and say that the Bumbo Baby Sitter isn’t so bad to look at. Sure it’s a big plastic thing, but it’s kind of modern looking, fairly stylish, comes in a whole slew of pretty colours, and since it’s super easy to clean, you won’t be looking for a place to hide the dirty thing when company comes over! That’s always a bonus — one quick wipe and it’s good as new!”"

Desiree

"My husband actually went out and bought this when we found out I was pregnant. I laughed at it and thought it was a crazy baby item. But I now love it. I started using it when my daughter was only 3 1/2 months old (she had good head control). It conforms to her little body and is a great little chair for her to play in and learn how to sit up. It's nice to have another option - other than the bouncy seat or swing."

Kylie's Mom WI

"I love this seat because it's portable and it taught my daughter how to sit up. I take it when I go to friends / family's houses so she has somewhere to sit. I've taken it to the beach, baseball games, etc."

Amy New Jersey

"This is a GREAT alternative as a seat, and it meets his current level of stability. I took a picture of him with the BIGGEST grin on his little face as soon as I put him in it. He can see what's going on and join in our family dinners. It's also a lot easier to talk to him while he practices sitting."

Rio Leigh Jefferson, GA

"When I first saw a friend's baby sitting in the Bumbo, I was intrigued. Before a baby can sit on his own, he can use the Bumbo. As long as the baby has some head control, the Bumbo will use the baby's own body weight to keep him/her sturdy in the seat, with no straps or anything like that. I was a bit shocked to find out that this simple foam seat cost nearly $40, but it has been worth every penny. The Bumbo has made my life so much easier... It is so light and easy to carry around, we take it almost everywhere.” “I bought this chair for my 5 month old son. He sits in it well when he wants to. It's nice to take with to the park so that he can sit up on his own. We also use it to feed him"

Sharon S Minneapolis, USA

"My son was an early-bird in the head control department, so he was constantly looking for any opportunity to be propped up and able to look around. This thing allows him to sit up and watch the world without me having to constantly hold him or carry him around. Nice hands-free break for parents, and fun and comfortable seat for baby. Highly recommended!"

Happy Mommy Ft. Riley, KS
