I find it so much easier changing Emma on there as the wriggles far less than if she is on the floor on a changing mat. Also I sue the underneath to store our cloth nappies. We have more than had our monies worth from it.<br />I have LOTS of baby carriers, and still carry Daniel (who is 2.5 years old) and Emma (14 months). My biggest waste of money buy conversely was the pushchair as it is only really used when there are other people with me who would want to push Emma around. I *hate* using it and find it just a real pain.<br />interesting though that what one loves another hates xx<br />#toddlerapprovedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265222276604742589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253041537585720516.post-52603717237703674482015-04-23T10:47:01.046+01:002015-04-23T10:47:01.046+01:00We got a changing table that is also a dresser, to...We got a changing table that is also a dresser, to be fair it wasn't used much for changing on, but the front came off so it's now just a dresser! Also got a bumbo, but wasn't ever used! However we love our wraps and carriers, even more so with number 2 baby, he never goes in the buggy and is happy to be carried everywhere! :) xxJenny Eaveshttp://monkeyandmouse.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253041537585720516.post-35606754937348912942015-04-22T14:49:23.830+01:002015-04-22T14:49:23.830+01:00We didn't get a change table either.

No harm in sitting on the floor with a change mat, and in my mind, a lot safer too!<br /><br />We got a Bumbo too and it honestly wasn't worth the money for us. Alexander is quite a chunky boy and so he just seemed squashed in to the seat, aside from that, I don't think it would have been much use anyway. <br /><br />One thing I wish we did rush in to was a manual breast pump. Ultimately, I wasn't able to breastfeed Alexander - for a couple of reasons - and so that was definitely not needed! <br />:-)<br /><a href="http://www.lifesopenpages.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Life’s Open Pages</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253041537585720516.post-69465863536191703772015-04-22T08:47:06.389+01:002015-04-22T08:47:06.389+01:00I loved my prep machine, one of the best products ...I loved my prep machine, one of the best products we had haha but we had it from day 1 so definitely worth it.

All the rest is just stuff which may or may not fit into your life. Like you we've never felt the need for a nappy bin but I couldn't live without my carrier - it all depends on your lifestyle and your baby doesn't it :) <br />Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested this week xColettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520171361118177674noreply@blogger.com
