we were planning on using his bumbo for a while just to save space but he really doesn't like it. i've seen tons of pics of other babies in them and they all look relaxed and comfy, finn always looked like he wasn't sitting in it right and his thunder thighs barely fit in the leg holes.
we got the highchair on sale for like $50 (orig $100), i think they were trying to clear them out to make room for the new rainforest swing. i highly recommend this one, the tray has a one hand release, 3 recline positions, 7 height adjustments, the cushion is vinyl/plastic-y so it wipes right off, there are 2 teether/rattle things that hang off the sides, that big toy that clips on, and a dishwasher tray that clips on over the regular tray. it's also much smaller than i thought it would be and it's on wheels so i can just roll it from the kitchen to the living room or wherever we want to be. i love it!
