*mods i know there is a nursery section but baby brain cant find it sorry*

i would like one but i dont understand why second hand they sell for nearly as much as a new one why is this????? any advice help why this is so or where can i get them bar from eBay cheaper? I don't have room for my high chair in the kitchen so was thinking of getting one.

I don't know!! I can't figure out why there are so expensive new anyway? What a rip off. I got mine with the tray on special for $77 woot. I also bought a highchair that sits on a normal dining chair, for $50. By the looks of it, that will work better than a bumbo, because you can't safely tie the bumbo to the dining chair. I hope you find something nice and cheap

. FWIW there are two second hand baby stores in Strathpine that you can check out.

Heya squidipa,

Never really got bumbo either (looks cute with all hte patterns available but looks a bit unsafe)

I got a winnie the pooh one from aldi which you strap onto a chair. It has padding as well as can recline. Maybe check your local aldi (if they still have them)

It was $49.99, but i got mine for $29.99 becuase they were getting rid of them.
