We were very excited to be able to review the Hugaboo Seat. My son BG is 6 months old and we are in middle of practicing sitting up. The seat part is not filled with stuffing which I actually like because he can try to teach himself to sit on a flat surface. The seat bottom is attached to the seat, which is to help prevent your baby from sliding to the floor.
Getting BG into the seat was a little bit of a challenge, especially trying to get his chubby little legs through the leg holes. Once he was in it he really enjoyed sitting upright and being able to look around. We attached two of his toys to the toy attachments. Doing this is a perfect opportunity to strengthen sensory and motor skills through floor time play and activities.
I did have one concern. My son is a wiggler. He did lean over far enough to get on his belly with the seat still on his legs. The package does tell you NOT to use on elevated surfaces and NEVER leave a child unattended which I completely agree with. With that in mind (along with not leaving your baby unattended), I would consider using this at a slightly younger age.
Getting him out was also a little tricky but easier than some of the harder seats since its all cushions and easy to move. This whole seat is VERY soft and seems very comfortable. I actually think this seat is better than some of the other hard seats just because if he could lean back or to the side in this seat and is more cushioned compared to others.
The Hugaboo Baby Seat is light and portable. It can easily be carried from one room to another and would also be very easy to pack and bring along if traveling. It’s great to find a product that helps keep baby’s back and sides stabilized while he’s learning to sit up on his own. The seat cover comes completely off for washing which is great! Overall it’s a very cute and useful seat.

That looks really neat. I would have loved one when my boys were babies!
My first had a baby carrier, walker and a rocker as well as the usual nursery furniture back them–carriage, high chair, playpen, crib, dresser, portacrib, car bed and rocking not horse but duck. I got rid of the carrier almost immediately–wasn’t safe and flipped once with me beside it. Carbeds are no more–replaced by safety car seats. Playprnds are out of fashion–modern thinking. Carriages have made way for strollers. Back to the point, I help her as did those who loved her until she could sit in her furnishings propped up then alone.
This looks a lot better than the plastic seat that I used for my kids.
I wish I had this when my baby was little. And that baby is adorable!
Cute little seat! My niece could’ve used this.
Great seat and cute baby! I love it
What a cool little seat!
Your son is so adorable! I’ve nothing nothing but great things about the Hugaboo brand <3
Looks like a cozy chair! I will share this with my pregnant friend.

This looks amazing! This is just the age that my baby is right now!
