The cool stuff :)

[LimeSlice]

So this time around, we have all the big ticket stuff... The only left to buy is the capsule so not fussed.
Have the cot, change table, car seats... all that.

Sooooo....
What is the cool stuff?
Did you get one of those swisho rocker swing chair things that moves and vibrates and ties your shoes?
One of those spinning Lamaze mat things?

lol In a position to get some funkier more non essential stuff this time around, so need people to tell me what is out there, what is a complete load of bull and what was really fab please!

[Catastrophic]

Bumbo chair Rocks :-) Have used it for three years pretty much :-) I love it...

I have to say having the baby rocker/swinging/vibrating chair was soooooooooo goood with a reflux baby - definitly a noice splurge :-)

I love our bumbo because I can take it any where and I do.
Fisher price soothing vibrations bouncer oh and cant forget the fisher price swing(big one) was a lifesaver!!!
how exciting!! I love shopping for fancy baby stuff

I'm such an 'organiser' that DD seemed to have all the 'cool stuff' and she's our first, LOL!!

My favourite, wouldn't be without items were/still are:
- the Bumbo. Awesome, until she learnt how to climb out of it!
- our Mclaren rocker - still use it almost every day! It's great for keeping our DD contained in the bathroom while I shower
- our Fisher Price Jumperoo - still using it today and DD is almost 14 months old.

ETA: now that I'm not half asleep (and not referring to my DD as DS, lol!) I've thought of a couple of other things:
- my Babyhood breastfeeding rocking chair. I loved that (and still do!) more than I thought I would. It's so comfy!
- Angelcare Sound & Movement monitor
- a playpen - we have a beautiful King Parrot white wooden one.

:yeahthat: Thats pretty much everything I was gonna say! The jumperoo is a lifesaver. DD has loved it since she was first able to use it, and it is so handy to keep her occupied when you need to get something done like have a shower or get dressed or get dinner organised.

Have fun shopping LimeSlice

Favs here are:

Fisher price take along swing.
Bumbo
Exersaucer
Angel care sound and movement moniter
Music and lights play gym (plays classical music or nursery rhymes)

[~Hestia~]

Oh yes, Exosaucer! This kept DS entertained when all he wanted to do was practise crawling and scream because he just wasn't there yet!
I also loved his vibrating bouncer, so did he for that matter.

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.
