Bumbo worth while?

[Kazzo]

I love the Bumbo and would have paid $100 for it if I had to. DD2 loves been where ever I am and when DH went away for a few weeks it was my saviour because DD2 could sit anywhere I was and was happy. She still loves it. When I bought it DD1 was mid Toilet training and thought it was another potty

Thanks for your replies. I ended up buying one with a tray today online from babies galore for $85 which included postage. Now I just have to sit back and wait for the items to arrive. I did look on ebay but they were brining new prices anyway and alot of them were pick up only and none were within 200kms from me. If DD doesn't like it I will sell it again. Thanks for your replies

I was just about to say, if you can try your DD in it before you buy it then I'd advise that. My DD hated hers. She was a reflux baby and every time she sat in the bumbo she'd spew. I'll also add that she worked out how to pop herself out of it very quickly, so whilst some people put them on work surfaces and high areas, it was just way to dangerous for us to do that.

But we had no trouble selling it so it's not a total loss

Not sure I'm qualified to answer as we didn't end up getting one. By the time we had thought about getting one ds was already way too much of a wiggle monster to have sat in it for longer than 2 minutes! we never even get through a meal with him in his high chair. So I guess it depends on what your baby is like as to whether they are worth it. I also sat ds in one at a friends house and he cracked it when I was getting him out of it as they are a pretty tight fit!
