I got Sophie as a gift for my son when he was born. It was more for being nostalgic that I wanted the toy, After a few months of use (my son loved sucking and chewing on the feet) I started to notice that there were holes in it. I quickly contacted the distributor and after a few exchanges of emails and pictures they sent me a replacement within days!
The new one is stored away for another baby however we are happy with the comfort it brought my son. He refused all other "chew toys"

We got this musical table as a hand me down from my nephews. My son is technically the 4th kid to play with it. When he was sitting up on his own we had him play with it on the floor without the legs. As soon as he started to pull himself up he played with it as a table. This "babysitter" saved my life enough times as it kept him occupied for HOURS!!
We didn't find it to have much "educational use" based on his age when he used it. But it definitely passed the test on keeping him happy and entertained!

I bought this playmat because I was told my son needed more tummy time. Its bright and colourful and doesn't take up a lot of space. Realistically you can do tummy time on any surface. My cats go more use out of this toy than my son did. So much more use that they yanked "too hard' on the giraffe and it became permanently bent!!! My cats clearly aren't as strong as a human being - this bothered me. I ended up contacting FP and returned the product to them for a refund. The only thing I kept and found useful was the toucan (which my cats still play with) and the head rest...which I used in his bouncer. -

This was my favourite tank to wear closer to the end of my maternity leave. It is super comfy, washes well and is a great staple for nursing. I did originally try it on at the begining of my nursing days and found it fit too snug for my liking in the belly for the cup size that works. When I lost most of my weight and my chest got smaller this fit me amazingly! I would buy multiple colours of this to add to my collection. I currently only have the black one. Thought the weird one showed too much imperfections of my body than I liked. If you are looking for this for "support" it may not be for you. -

I got the Bumbo seat and tray in teal for my son at my babyshower because I registered for it. I have over the years purchased it as many gifts for friends as well. It wasn't until my son was old enough to use it that I realized, it was a total waste of money.
The product itself is well made. I have had no damages to either piece however I wonder after extensive use how the chair would look from removing the tray often. You sort of have to squish it to fit it.
My son isn't the smallest guy, nor is he by any means a big guy. The seat is designed in such a way that their thighs are so snug...they don't move!! I'm able to squish my guy into the seat but i have a hard time buckling him into it. I get it - a few kids fell out and the product had a recal and straps became mandatory for them. The "additional" straps that are sent to the older seats are easier to use. I have one of the newer design ones and I squish my own hands trying to use the seatbelt thing that I never used it.
On top of it all - after I end up struggling with my - he got so mad at me and cried to get out after I finally secured him in.
