Here's what current pediatric thinking says about baby sitting chairs: Babies should only use supported sitting chairs (like Bumbo seats or portable chairs) for short periods and always with an adult watching. Long-term use can slow down your baby learning to sit, roll, and crawl naturally. The American Academy of Pediatrics generally recommends babies spend awake time on their backs on the floor—that's better for building muscles than sitting in a chair. If you do use one: pick a fixed base (won't tip), has a safety strap, is cushioned, and stays low to the ground. Never put it on a counter, table, or high surface.
