The Bumbo Chair

One of the upsides to having a baby & living in Vancouver is craigslist. You can find anything & everything cheap on craigslist. I believe this is mostly due to a few things.

1) when having a baby, you have to have everything, and if you don't like it, you buy another brand and dump the other on craigslist.

2) no storage space, dump it on craigslist when done

While Kijiji is hugely popular on the prairies. Not so much here. Craigslist rules supreme.

So after 3 long days of trying to track down a manly Bumbo seat, pestering all that held the foam form gold, I prevailed last night! After sorting through every color and every price point, one was up to $60(apparently, it was a gift), But for a cool $25 I got Porter a new perch!


He seemed to like it last night until he realized he was exhausted. Then he was not so happy, but I am excited today to see how this contraption improves my life... Yes those are high expectations!

And I am glad that in my final hours before securing the seat I didn't give into panic and purchase a girly pink one... Score one for both cheap & manly!

I guess getting it on Craigslist means you dont have to read the instructions...LIKE, the Bumbo should be placed on the floor, never put the Bumbo on anything high, for example A COUNTER!!!
