Baby seat for 3 months +

Hi,

Could anyone recommend a baby seat for 3 months + hoping to last him until he is a toddler?
We bought a bean bag chair designed for babies but this was a mistake as he can now almost tip himself out of it. He's quite a long baby so the average bouncer will probably only last him a couple of weeks. Any ideas?

We had the fisher price infant to toddler rocker when dd1 was small and that lasted til she was 2, as she didn't want to lay down in a chair anymore, but size wise it was still okay.

At 3 months, babies are still developing their head, neck, and trunk control, so I’d be a little cautious about choosing a “baby seat” based on age alone. The right option depends on what you want to use it for—feeding, supervised sitting, or simply having your baby nearby while you get things done.
For a three-month-old, look for something that provides good head and body support and is specifically approved by the manufacturer for that age and developmental stage. I’d avoid putting a baby in a seat for extended periods, especially if they’re still struggling to hold their head steady.
If you’re comparing baby gear, Little Canadian can be a convenient place to browse different baby seats and other essentials. Just check the individual product’s age, weight, and developmental requirements rather than assuming every seat is suitable from three months.
And if your baby isn’t sitting independently yet, that’s completely normal at this age. A little tummy time and plenty of supervised floor play are generally more useful for developing those skills than trying to encourage sitting too early.
