OT: Does your baby Bumbo?

Does your baby Bumbo without a care?

Do you take it everywhere?

Did you buy it new and clean?

Or second hand yet still pristine?

Were they 4 months old or later still?

Did they sit up straight with their free will?

Do you use the tray that many buy?

Or is it kinda useless like a guy?

Can the Bumbo replace a high chair?

Or must you have both with no space to spare?

Would you buy it all over again?

Would you recommend it to a friend?

Or am I sucked in to a marketing ploy?

Like so many other must-have toys?

So serious.

We got a Bebe Pod and he loved it while it lasted.  We registered for the bumbo for the twins with the trays.  My oldest was always playing on the floor and wrestling with daddy so it was nice to let him sit up and watch and be part of the family without having to see the world from his back.  :-)

Does your baby Bumbo without a care? 
Hannah could take it or leave it.  She didn't hate it, but she wasn't thrilled to be in it either.

Do you take it everywhere?
I never took it anywhere other than my Mom's (right next door).

Did you buy it new and clean? 
I got it as a baby shower present...so new and clean.

Or second hand yet still pristine?

Were they 4 months old or later still?
I think I put her in it around 3 months, but it was a little to early.

Did they sit up straight with their free will?
To start with she kind of flopped over, but eventually she could sit up straight.

Do you use the tray that many buy?
I didn't have the tray.

Or is it kinda useless like a guy?


Can the Bumbo replace a high chair?
I couldn't use it as highchair because Hannah always wanted to look down while in it.  I couldn't get her chin off her chest long enough to try to feed her lol.

Or must you have both with no space to spare?  I had to have both.

Would you buy it all over again?
I wouldn't buy it new, but second hand at a good price.

Would you recommend it to a friend?
Probably not.  My biggest fault with it was that Hannah's legs were chubby and she out grew it really fast.

LOVE YOU...Jo!

You crack me up!

And we LOVE our bumbo. I bought one for Riley, and she adored it. My niece used it and now Jantzen uses it. (Shhhhh, don't tell him purple is a girly color!) LOL

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!

Loved the rhyming!

We used our 2nd-hand Bumbo quite a bit (purchased from craigslist.com). We didn't have a tray. I didn't like the BebePOD at all. It didn't seem to have as much back support. I think it's definitely worth the $15 we paid for it.
