We first purchased this seat when my son was 6 months old. He was a very small baby (0 percentile until 9 months) and high chairs were just way too big for him. So when it was time to start him on solids we bought this seat. We put it in the middle of our dining room table (to be as safe as we could) and put him in. Now the straps never did really fit him - they were way too loose but with the tray attached he really couldn't move so it worked out great. The back was high and since he was small he would really sit down in the chair. Now he is 14 months old and we are actually using it as a floor seat (minus the tray which we don't use anymore). I just set out the seat on the floor and my son loves to climb in and out (and tries to find new ways to sit down in it). Sometimes he will sit in it with his books too. If you have a small baby and are looking for a chair that will have many different uses buy the bumbo! Only buy the tray if you are using it to start on solids. I don't recommend the cover as it is easier to clean food off the actual rubber seat. When you upgrade to an actual highchair check out the oxo tot sprout chair - it's a fabulous, easy to clean, perfect for smaller than average children highchair. Also one tip on how to put your baby in the bumbo with the tray already attached. Put your child in from the back of the chair. I could never get my son into the seat when the chair was facing me because he would end up bending his knees so go in from behind.
