Has anyone used either of these baby seats
? Does anyone know whether there is a lot of difference between them and did you find them useful?

I had one for ds but he didnt like it much and always strained backwards to get out of it. I ended up giving it away to a friend who had just had a baby to see if her lo liked it any better. The bebepod ones have a tray too so might keep your lo more amused

sorry, I had a bumbo that ds didnt like and havent tried the bebepod (didnt make it too clear in previous post)

I bought bebepod for my ds when he was about 5 mnths - he straightened his body and managed to push himself backwards and out of the seat so i took it straight back!

I have a bumbo and it is useful as LO can sit up with her siblings, which she really likes.

I didn't get on with the Bumbo either. Ds2 didn't like the rubbery feel of it and kept trying to dive out. Tbh he never looked that comfortable in it.
I sold mine on Netmums for a fiver !!

my ds worked out how to escape from his bumbo in three weeks..he was five months too!had thrown out the box by then so now it's hiding in a cupboard...

Tried a friends bumbo. pointless pants! ds3 did the same straining thing to get out, just wasn't safe or comfy for him. So glad I didn't buy one

thanks for your opinions, sounds like it isn't worth buying a bumbo then.
