The high chair post below got me thinking about this.
What are the best baby related items you have?
And what were a big waste of money?

Re: What are the best and worst baby items you've bought?
Biggest waste of money= Changing table
Best thing i've bought= Sound machine!
Biggest waste = Bumbo, door jumper thing, bouncer, moby
Best idea ever= The swing (still napping in it) and the Uppababy Vista.
Best: bouncer, Soothie pacifier(only thing that got us through the first 3 months!), walker!
Worst: Sleep sacks, swaddle-me's, swings, breast pump, wipe warmer
Biggest Waste= Walker. There really isnt enough walking room in this house. And the Moby wrap, it ended up being too hot and too complicated to put on.
Best = Ergo!! It sucks it took me so long to discover it. And the Snuza. Best money I ever spent for piece of mind. Oh and also the baby camera, also best money spent for piece of mind. I guess its a 3 way tie.
Married: 5/21/05 **~** Emery Aylin 6/30/12
BFP#1-11/5/10- Surgery for ectopic pregnancy 11/15/10 BFP#2-11/1/11 Due 7/8/12 Born 6/30/12
Oops we did it again... BFP 03/23/14 Due 12/6/14 Nora Born 11/23/14
Best: Sleepsacks, Boppy Pillow.
Worst: The bouncer, she never really liked it, and the bassinett, she didn't really like that either.
Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child's world and thus a world event.
The best things are the sound machine and the Ergo
The worst is the Pack n Play
Worst: my breast friend luckily its was on loan, bumbo, bouncy seat didn't see as much action as I was hoping, floor mat/gym, cheap nursing bras
Best: Noise Machine and Sleep Sack
Worst: Moby
Worst: Boppy, excersaucer, and bouncy seat.
Best: rock n play
Waste: pack n play and swaddle me's
Best: RnP, Pack n Play (used daily at daycare), sound machine
Worst: Bumbo, Beco Gemini carrier (used it once. it was great, but we have no real need for it), and the Snap n Go stroller.
Eats childproof locks for breakfast...
Best: sound machine, boppy pillow, push walker
Worst: travel swing, moby
For me the crib was actually a waste of money. She slept in the pack and play for about 5 months and then started sleeping in our bed. She has napped in the crib a handful of times only. It is a convertible crib, so maybe we'll get some use out of it one day.
Other items...the swing and jumperoo are nice but I should have bought them used as she used each for only a few months.
Best purchases: ergo, jogging stroller, high chair and the convertible car seat. Better to spend more money on items that you'll be able to use for a year or two (or longer).
Worst: bumbo, jumparoo, boppy
Worst: bouncy seat we never used it, and my breast friend huge waste of money.
best: white noise machine, My Pal Scout , Mamaroo swing, rock n' plays, Zany Zoo activity cube, Swaddle Mes (my kids love to be swaddled until 6 months). Magic Merlin sleepsuit!!!!!!!!!!!!
worst: bumbo, Ergo (didn't really use it), $50 bottle warmer
Worst: snuza I jumped on the panic bandwagon when that one bumpie lost her 9 mo old and we only used it for like a month and pnp. My answer might change on the pnp if she will learn to play in it instead of scream.
Best:I have several! RnP, magic sleepsuit, wubbanub, jumperoos, video monitor, snuza, walkers, baby jogger city mini double stroller
Worst: baby carriers - k'tan and ergo (we don't have much use for them and babies never seemed to like them), baby bullet (I ended up doing BLW), small portable swing (should have gotten a full size one), cloth diapers (I didn't fully commit to them and got tired of laundry)
s/o cloth diapers, I've got plenty of brand new fuzzibunz diapers if anyone wants to buy them
YES!!! I hate that F-ing thing!
Best: bouncy seat, RnP, breast friend pillow, Baby 411 book
Worst: 'travel' swing - what a PITA, boppy, the cheap-a$s snap & go stroller frame - we should have just got the carseat adapter for our city mini
Worst: twin breast feeding pillow, diaper pail and sleep sacks in larger sizes
Best: jumperoo (he still loves bouncing in it!), mommaroo swing, & sound machine
Worst: bobby, bumbo, and 4 Moms Oragami stroller (It was a huge piece of s***! Broke three times, and not worth the $800...Luckily it was a gift, and we didn't waste our $$)
Best: Rock n Play, Motorola video monitor, Tiny Love Soothe and Groove mobile, Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Seahorse, Diaper Genie, Sleep Sheep, Maxi Cosi Mico infant car seat
Worst: expensive Skip Hop diaper bag (can never find anything in it), Moby wrap, Maxi Cosi Foray stroller (rides perfect but have to remove the seat to fold it), Bumbo, Snuza (never used it)
