What's everyone's view of Bumbo chairs? I've heard from some that they can can cause physical problems if your kid sits in them too long (similar to the concerns over Baby Bjorns, I suppose), but man those things are handy.

We borrowed a bumbo from a friend; for them, as soon as their kid figured out how to get out (by basically flexing backwards), they couldn't keep him in. With our son, he actually liked it a lot more once he figured out how to get in and out of it himself. So I guess it's something that's highly dependent on the kid.
