Bumbo Seat or Bebepod?

I have seen both at BRU and TG and was not sure which one was better. I love the idea - they had not come out yet when DD was born.

Thoughts?

Thx,

Either will work fine.  One suggestion... get them off of CL or at a resale store instead of buying them new.  They can only use them for such a short time and some babies don't even like them.  It's just not worth the $80+ that two of them would cost brand new.

My friends love the bumbo's, I think they are less expensive, right? 

I found one at a rummage sale and agree it's so nice to save money on something like that!

We bought two Bumbo's, but not at full price as I read reviews that some babies like them and some don't I think I paid $55 for two of them, they sell for $65 + taxes (each) brand new here

Honestly, i wouldn't waste the $$.  We barely used ours for DD and am not getting another one for the twins.  By the time DD could sit in it, she was trying to wiggle out of it, and we would have to put a blanket underneath in case she fell out of it.  I would invest in a good seat---we used the Fisher Price Infant to Toddler rocker for almost 2 years straight, and I picked up another one for the twins.  It was one of the smartest purchases we made.

Ditto the suggestion to get them off CL, we got 2 for $40 and are selling them now for exactly what we paid for them.  Since they're plastic (or whatever they're made of) they are easy to wipe clean and don't really "wear out" at all.  No reason to get them new.
