Fisher-Price Deluxe Sit-Me-Up Floor Seat Review

Fisher-Price Deluxe Sit-Me-Up Floor Seat with Toy Tray, Happy Hills (GBL20)

Photos coming soon.

The short version

Buy it if

Parents of babies who hold their head up well but still need help sitting
Families who want a seat they can fold flat and carry between rooms or homes
Anyone who wants a tray for snacks and toys while the baby sits on the floor

Skip it if

Your baby can already sit or crawl out on their own
You want something to use on a table, sofa or bed; the maker says floor only
Your baby has very full thighs and you want easy in and out

What owners like

Folds small, which makes it easy to store or bring to a relative's house
Wide base feels stable on the floor
Washable pad makes clean up simple
Leg openings are larger than on a molded foam seat, so it suits bigger babies longer

Common complaints

Lifting a baby with chunky thighs in or out can be awkward
Short useful life, since it is meant only until a baby can climb out or walk
The frame is hard to take apart once assembled, according to one owner

Based on The Fisher-Price support page and instruction sheet for GBL20, the Amazon listing, Babylist's page for the closely related basic Sit-Me-Up seat, ChickAdvisor owner reviews of the Sit-Me-Up line, and a parent blog comparing the Sit-Me-Up with the Bumbo..

Research scores

Does the job 7.5 wide base holds a baby upright with snack and toy trays, but only for a short stage

Safety info and materials 7.5 maker gives clear fall, suffocation and age warnings and a 25 lb limit, with little material detail

Ease of use 7.0 folds flat and the pad is washable, but chunky babies can be hard to lift in and out

Value 7.5 moderate cost for a seat with two trays that folds for travel

What it does

A folding floor seat that holds a baby upright on the floor, with a removable snack tray and a clip-on toy tray, in the Happy Hills print.

Wide base meant to hold an unsteady sitter upright on the floor
Removable snack tray that is top rack dishwasher safe
Toy tray with bat-at spinners, clacker beads and a teether ring that lifts out of the snack tray
Seat pad comes off and is machine washable on a cold, gentle cycle
Frame folds flat for storage or travel
Adult assembly with no tools

A reasonable pick for parents who want a supported floor seat with a tray for babies who already hold their head up but cannot sit alone yet. The trade-offs are a short window of use, ending once the child can climb out or walk, and reports that babies with chunky thighs can be hard to lift in and out.
