My babies don't seem to like them much and i'm wondering if i should just return them?

Thanks

My girls hated them at first....  I could only have them sit in them long enough to take a picture.  Now .... they love them, because they really want to be sitting up.  It took us quite a few tries before they warmed up to them.

I would only try each girl in the seat for just a few minutes.  Then I put it away for about a week.  I do recommend the tray... I found a suction cup toy at BRU and it sticks to the tray.  They love it....and will sit there and spin it, and play with the toy.  I'd say they will sit in the bumbos for about 20 min. now.

yeah we got 2 for my shower & i have always felt guilty that someone spent all that $ and my kids never liked them. they'd sit in there for maybe a couple minutes & would be squirming to get out.

I bought one off of Craig's List for $15 or $20 (I can't remember).  I was fine having just one because my girls didn't use it that often.  They were ok sitting in it for short periods of time, but since they didn't love it, I just had them take turns.  We also used it to feed them solids when we were away at a relative's house.  So it may be worth keeping one and returning the other if you don't think they really like it enough to keep two.

I kept meaning to buy some but never got around to it and my girls did just fine without them...we had plenty of other things for them to sit/play in. but before returning yours i would try them again in like a week and see if they like them better then!

We only bought one. Good thing too. Neither of them sit in it for longer than 5-10 minutes. They would rather sit in their chairs at the table, play in jumperoo/exersaucer or play on the floor. I'll keep putting them in it and see if they warm up to it a bit more.

We don't have any, and I never felt that we were lacking.

I don't feel it is a "must-have" item. I was given one as a gift (with the tray table). They liked it enough to say I liked having one, but I don't think 2 of them would be necessary.

We like having them and I'm thinking about getting the trays for them.  DD especially likes it and will sit in it playing for a good 20 minutes .

Mine never liked them, but now that they are eating solids we take them with us if we are going to a party or someone's house and use them as high chairs and they love to eat, so they don't mind being in them for that now.

We don't have bumbo seats. I've thought about buying one though. I didn't know how much longer they'd fit.

We had Bumbo Seats, I bought both on Craigslist for $10 each.  Neither of my kids liked them and at 6 months, I sold them back for $15 each

never used them. I got the fisher price booster chair thingy with the toy tray and they loved it.

I wanted to get my girls one but never did. My girls are doing just fine with out it....If you are not using them, I would return it for something you might use.

DS likes the tray for his toys but DD is not a huge fan of her seat.  I bought one seat with a tray from a friend for $10 (what she paid on CL for it) and MIL gave us the second one.  You can probably sell them for a decent price on CL.
