I love the concept of the bumbo however it never really worked for my daughter. She would always end up flopping over to one side in search of a toy that she dropped so I could never get her to stay in it for more than a few minutes at a time. I tried to add the tray (which is not easy to get on)thinking that would help with the problem but it didn't.
I know friends whose kids loved the bumbo so my advice would be to borrow one from a friend first to see if it is worth buying your own. Every baby is different and this is definitely one baby product that can be really useful or just another colorful thing to collect dust and take up closet space.

I really like the idea of the Bumbo baby sitter. I really, really do... but the short story is... my baby never did.
I bought it for him around 4 months because he was displaying such interest (really from about 3 months) of wanting to sit up on his own. Like another reviewer's baby, he is a bit on the short and chubby side and consequently found the leg holes of the Bumbo a bit too tight and, thus, uncomfortable. As soon as I put him in it, he would arch his back trying to get out. (To the Bumbo's credit, he never could and the Bumbo never tipped... but I did put some pillows behind him just in case he managed to get out or topple the whole thing over one day!) We tried him in it several times for a few minutes at a time over the course of a 4-5 weeks -- waiting to see if he'd get used to it -- but, alas, he never did. (What ended up working best was what I initially started with... the *infamous* Boppy pillow. And now at 6.5 months, he can sit on his own... sooooo the Bumbo has been packed away for (perhaps) our future children to use (... and, um, *maybe* love?).
Shrug. So, the bottom line is... some kids like it... others don't... really don't! If you can, try your baby out in it IN A STORE before you buy. :)
Additional note added:
I wanted to come back an add a couple things to this review. I see a lot of people use the Bumbo for feeding, which is a great use of this seat! Using the seat so your baby can practice sitting up to play with toys, however, is not as ideal. As the seat is designed, your baby sits up a couple inches off the floor. My son would get frustrated in the Bumbo also because he couldn't reach easily for toys in front of him (I had to keep handing him things... when what he wanted was to try grabbing them himself). I really think this is why he prefered the Boppy pillow -- he could play (kind of [wink]) on his own. So, depending on what you want to use the Bumbo for... mainly a tool for eating or playing... please keep our experience with it in mind. :)

I usually do not write reviews on items I have purchased or used, but felt I needed regarding Bumbo. I have a 5 month old daughter and she has been using the Bumbo for the last 2.5 months. This is a GREAT product! It offers supports and free yours hands when things need to be done around the home. I have a bouncer, a carrier, swing, play mat, and a pack-n-play. Besides her crib and changing table, this is the other product I use numerous times a day. This is worth the buy!
In addition, my best friend also purchased Bumbo for her Special Needs daughter who is 3. She is unable to walk or support herself upright. While visiting our home, we placed her child in the Bumbo and were suprised at how it formed to her body and weight as well. My dear friend immediatly purchased her own Bumbo for herself and one to keep at her parent's home.
You won't regret buying this product.

Not made for chubby legs
We wanted to like this, but our daughter's legs were too chubby to fit comfortably in this and it was very difficult to get her out of it...needed two people. This is going back.
