Bumbo Seat Play Tray, Ivory

The delivery came too late and the product did not meet my requirements...

We bought the Bumbo and playtray for our grandaughter. Both items are truly excellent, but other reviewers are right to comment on how hard it can be to attach the playtray so that it is secure and locked in place. Maybe I can offer a solution ...After experimenting, we did find a way to do it - but it's not easy and is something that Mums with long nails have to be very careful with ....(1) Place the baby in the Bumbo and do this on a tabletop or worktop.(2) Partially attach the playtray by placing it over the 'hump'.(3) Slide the baby, Bumbo and playtray to the edge of the table so that just the front few inches hang over the edge. (No risk of falling as 95% of the Bumbo will still be on the table).(4) Bear down on the tray with one hand and then reach down with the other hand to where the tray support will ALMOST be sliding under the Bumbo.(5) Press down on the lower part of the support with the heel of your palm and reach underneath with your fingers to compress the Bumbo base. (Not easy as it's so dense). This is where even medium-length nails will be a distinct disadvantage.(6) You should then be able to get the base of the playtray support to slide into place beneath the Bumbo.Removing the playtray can be done in reverse - but do watch those nails!!!Hope that helps.Once attached, the tray is a good size without being too big or awkward.

Didn’t take long for my little to realize she could pop the test off easily

I ordered this tray for our Bumbo seat that was gifted to us without a tray attachment. The tray was very easy to fit onto the seat. It is assembled in 2 parts. It appears that it can be easily detached and put through the top rack in the dishwasher. It is what I ordered and I'm happy with it. I am sure it will get much use in the future. I gave 4 stars for 2 reasons - the Bumbo tray box looked bent and kind of beat up inside the amazon shipping box. It doesn't matter to me, as the tray was perfectly in tact and I just put the tray box into the recycling bin but I think I would have been unhappy with it if I was gifting it to someone else in the manufacturer's box. Not a biggie, just food for thought. Also, the tray itself just appears to be made of brittle plastic. No, not cheap, per say, just perhaps susceptible to cracks and breakage from use over time. It just seems like it may not hold up well over the long run. To be fair, I have not used it yet, but it does seem that way to me. Overall, I don't regret my purchase and I'm glad to have the tray attachment. If ever need a new Bumbo I may just purchase the newer model.

I have mixed feelings on these trays, where they are nice/helpful they are also difficult/annoying.I bought two of these to add the the bumbos I use with my twins, they are small so I have found feeding them in the bumbos with the trays to be easier for everyone than their high chair right now.I love these trays because I was able to use them to feed my boys in a chair that they were able to sit in easier/sooner, BLW so this was crutual for me. I also love them because they are so easy to clean. They also have made travel so nice because I can take them anywhere with us!The reasons why I hate them at the same time is the fact that they are two separate pieces. Sure they are easy to snap together and pop apart when they are off the bumbo but it’s almost impossible to get them put together if the base is already on the bumbo. Mainly because the base piece is a bit too short, you kinda have to squish the bottom of the bumbo to get it on. This isn’t that big of a deal but what makes the whole thing suck is that where the two prices fit together there is only one small thin plastic piece that makes them snap together but it’s not a very strong hold so my babies have figured out how to pull them apart while on the bumbos causeing a lot of extra work for me to continue to have to put them back together/on and this creates distraction and more mess. The plastic is also cracked on one so it’s extremely easy to pop the tray piece off.I really wish they were one solid piece or at least where they snap together was more secure/sturdy.

For those of you who are due to have a baby, or maybe you already have a little one, this is the perfect addition to the Bumbo seat.I know some have warned of trapping fingers etc, but we really did not find this an issue, it was a simple unpack and push on job.It has made life a lot easier feeding our daughter now we have one of these, she has a table for her food, or, for her toys depending on what is tickling her fancy at the time.It is also quick, simple and easy to remove should you want to. We did manage to leave the table attached and get her out also, if thats what you want to do.Finally onto the build quality, which i have to say is second to none, its flexible enough not to crack/shatter etc if you drop it or knock it, but still soft enough plastic to avoid any issues with sharp or hard corners and your baby hitting themselves, or simply knocking their arms or legs on the edges.In conclusion, top rated product, great materials and quality all round. If you have a Bumbo, this is a must buy, try to take the bad reviews with a pinch of salt....its worth it, trust me, as thats exactly what we did.
