Death to the Bumbo

Give me Liberty or give me... Well if you're my son then liberty came at the cost of a pea sized bump to the head. This week my ever advancing child decided that he would go ahead and let himself out of his Bumbo by throwing himself over the edge. Great.. Yet another restraint product I can take out of my ever shrinking arsenal of things I use to keep Max busy so I can use the bathroom.



The first death was our awesome bassinet. As soon as Max figured out that swaddles no longer could contain him the bassinet had to do bye bye. He kept hitting his arms on the side and it would wake him up.



Then we lost the vibrating bouncy chair.At five months old Genius baby figured if he arched his back and threw back hard enough that he could flip the chair thus almost freeing him if it weren't for those silly straps.



The third death came from the most amazing, beautiful perfect thing we own, the swing. The swing suddenly became to slow and to boring for genius baby and he figured out how to sit up the thing, making it dangerous and not usable. This loss was the first loss that broke my heart. Max's swing for the longest time was the only thing that would put him to sleep. He slept in that swing A LOT. It was one of the priciest swings on the market but it is the one baby product that I would buy again if forced.



The most latest goodbye I put off as long as we could. We just now said goodbye to his infant seat and with the handy infant seat with the lightweight Graco Snap&Go. These two products have been lifesavers and I will miss them until we have our second child. I miss the convenience of carrying a sleeping baby into the house or a restaurant.



Babies are force to be reckoned with.. What products do you miss?
