    I would say yes to a swing (so handy!) and no to a Bumbo....my personal experience is that Palmer was such a tall baby that we were only able to use it for a month. Maybe have a think about getting a 2nd hand one instead of paying brand new price if you have big babies.

    Definitely a bumbo! We bought one for DS2 and he still likes to sit in it and he is 3! Poor DD2 barely got a chance to sit in it, but never through a lack of trying.

    We got a fisher price swing/cradle, the one that looks like a papasan chair, soooo comfy looking! (the actual name of it escapes me right now ) Was one of the best things for a fussy baby.
    We also have a Kickin Coaster and IMO waste of money DS really didn't like it, looked great in theory but wouldn't have missed it at all if we never had one. The toys on the end of it were like torture for him because he could see them but not touch them, he enjoyed it more once he could stand up and get to the toys rather than sit in it and look at them I didn't like his head/neck position it it either.

    Have fun shopping for cool stuff

    LOL ours has a baby capsule, a vibrating bouncer, a shared change table and a cardboard box with all his clothes in We have a bassinette but he's never in it and he keeps hitting his head on the ends anyway. The baby bath is also too small, and we use it for a laundry basket too.

    He's dangerously close to outgrowing the capsule too, which is a problem. Must stop feeding him
