Is it necessary to buy a waist stool?

Of course it is necessary to buy a waist stool. When the baby is young, his waist support is not so good. Only by sitting on the waist stool and supporting his back can he sit more comfortably. And when he is too young, you must hold his waist when holding him. If you only hold his buttocks, it will be dangerous to turn over. Note that the force point of the waist stool is the buttocks, and the spine completely relies on its own support. And sitting on a waist stool is different from sitting on the ground. The waist stool moves with the adult.
