How long was your Bumbo/BebePod useful for?

I just Googled this because I didn't know what it was and found that there has been a product recall in the US. Apparently not safe to use on tables and 23 children have been hurt. Some parents are also saying that they're not safe to use on the floor either.

I borrowed one off a friend and we got a fair bit of use out of it from 3 months up till 7 months but when DS hit 7 months he started to get frustrated in it and started throwing his head back and arching his back, so I don't use it as much as I was. I also didn't use it as much once he was able to sit by himself coz now I can plonk him on his play mat with his toys and get the dishes done etc.

I loved it, but I am glad I didn't pay for it.
