Today I sold Natasha's Bumbo chair. If you remember my post back from January, I mentioned how I ended up buying the Bumbo chair due to all its benefits, advantages, and numerous positive reviews I found online. Well, Natasha was 4 months old in January and she's 9 months old now, and I can honestly say that in those 5 months she has used the Bumbo maybe twice. The child hates it! Royally. And obviously I couldn't have known that she would fall into the 10-15% of babies that hate the Bumbo, but she did. So the beautiful Bumbo was sitting in our bedroom collecting dust, until today. Earlier yesterday I saw a listing on kijiji.ca from someone looking for a Bumbo for their 3-month old baby; I contacted them and they drove all the way from Brampton today to pick it up from me. Nice, eh? I bought it for $55 and sold it for $30. Not bad of a deal. We now have a useless swing and a bouncy chair, but those are going into our locker-room downstairs.
We also disposed of our Diaper Genie. If you are reading this and planning on buying your (or someone's) new arrival a Diaper Genie - DON'T!!!
The thing is useless. It's expensive to begin with, and then you have to buy refills for it practically every two weeks which is another expense. And aside from that, the thing gets filled up way too quickly, it smells, and I think it's way less complicated to just throw the diapers in the garbage and then into the disposal. Just my daily piece of advice.
