Bumbo Baby Seat
The Bumbo enables babies to sit upright all by themselves! Bumbo Baby Seats are suitable for babies from as young as six weeks (or as soon as they can support their own heads unaided) to an age of approximately fourteen months. The Bumbo does not require any uncomfortable straps or fasteners. It is designed so that the baby’s own body weight keeps baby in place and gives a wonderfully new way to ensure maximum interaction and enjoyable communication with your child. The seats are latex-free.
The pictures are of Marley (top) and Gabriel (with big brother Grayson who also has spina bifida).

Cube Chair Wooden
This well designed cube chair works almost any way you place it! There is no real up or down, and you can even use it as a table. The grooves carved in the sides make it easy for little hands to 'get a grip', but avoid pinching little fingers.
Jonti-Craft's popular Kydz Safe™ construction means all edges and and corners are rounded for maximum safety.
The natural birch wood grain shines through the KydzTuff™ clear urethane finish. This smooth finish is as strong and durable as the coating used on gymnasium floors. It won't yellow, it's stain resistant - and it masks fingerprints! As an added bonus, it is non-toxic and lead free, making it far safer for the environment - and Jonti-Craft recycles all of their finishing byproducts.
