ds1 had one and hated it, he used to throw up in it every time.
ds2 is nearly 6 months old and I thought I might buy one, specifically because we are going away with the inlaws in their caravan and would be nice to have somewhere to sit him and also somewhere to feed him.

I can get one from Kiddicare for £30 including delivery, but dh thinks its a waste of money.

Will he be in it for much longer?
Is there anything else that would be cheaper/better?

Or, if you'll remember in 6hrs53 minutes, go back when the auction is about to end and put in your max bid then as there's less chance of being outbid at the last minute then. But agree, don't keep upping your bid, decide your max and stick to it.

so who is it?

Everytime I put in a bid (was £10.50, then i bid £11, then it said someone else had bid £12 when I went to confirm bid, and so on).
Do I just put in my bid of say £20 now?
