Does anyone know if I can purchase a large infant seat like a bebe pod or bumbo seat? My son is almost 5 months old and hates to lie down, he can also sit up for several minutes at a time completely on his own... but, he still has a tendency to shoot himself backwards so I am needing a seat that he can sit in to play... We bought a bumbo seat but it is too small, he is 21 lbs... was 10 lbs 6 oz at birth and his little legs are just too big for that seat... Also, we dont wanna put him in his highchair to play because we want him to associate that with eating... He also has an exersaucer but he gets bored with that and I need something else he can sit in to play... Anyways, I cant seem to find a larger size of the infant seats so I was just wondering if anyone knew of anything?!?!
Thanks in advance!!!

Ok guys, thanks for the anwsers so far... He already has an exersaucer... like an immobile walker and he loves it! He can also put all of his weight on his legs and has been rolling over since 6 weeks... So, he is very strong and loves to sit but as I said, he gets bored very easily with the toys on his exersaucer even though it bounces, has toys, and the seat turns all the way around... The laundry basket idea may work, then if he drops his toy it wont go on the floor! (we have a dog) Anyways, thanks so far for the suggestions!!!

Take a look at this product. My daughter has it and likes it more than her bumbo seat.

My kid is 5 months and 21 pounds also! Many people will balk at this (kiss my arsee thumbs downers!) but the thing that has worked best is a walker!
I know it is a bit young for that but my little one is already scooting across the house in one! Just make sure he gets time to practice sitting up, pulling up, and walking.
Best of luck!

My son is 5 months and 20lbs. I really have to squeeze his thighs in the bumbo. Other than that he loves the excersaucer, jumper and walker. I sometimes use the boppy for extra support!!!

We used a square laundry basket, with a few towels rolled up.
Some targets have bumbos in stock.

since you want him to practice sitting more independently, use a boppy pillow if you have one, if not, surround him with pillows.. I think ther is no need for you to buy another seat b/c he'll be sitting on his own completely very soon.. If you have a pack-n-play, use that, with pillows behind him.. if he goes to the side the soft wall will catch him. =]

I had this problem with my oldest daughter try putting him in the boppy pillow it works well to hold them from going backward and cushions them when they fall sideways. It was my savoir!
