All of those can go unless you want to save them for another child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1182688 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:55:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 1182688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: If it's borrowed get rid of it! haha I woudln't move it as long as you have the option of using it again for #2, or you can always go find used for #2 too. I would keep some recieving blankets, they are nice to have on hand, but you don't need more than like 5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1182555 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:18:01 +0000 cascademom 1182555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With the exersaucer, my LO still plays with it now that he's walking. He likes to walk up to it and play with it. Ours is a hand me down too.</p> <p>Other stuff, we're saving for a future LO. We're in a condo. Some of the stuff may end up in storage before moving to a bigger place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1182508 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:06:29 +0000 Corduroy 1182508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everybody. Most of the stuff is borrowed so it's more a decision of return before or after the move rather than save for #2. </p> <p>I think the exersaucer will be a game time decision. It was a hand me down and ridiculously ugly. It would give me a good excuse to get something cuter for the new house if we found out we need it. Blankets might be good packing material. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1182416 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:41:05 +0000 mrsjyw 1182416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we haven't used any of the things u listed in months... but we also saved them for future LO... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1182411 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 14:39:40 +0000 lamariniere 1182411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get rid of us much as possible unless you plan on having another kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1182138 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 13:21:43 +0000 kiddosc 1182138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on team exersaucer and blankets for all the reasons above. I think baby will be more containable in an exersaucer for bathroom trips, than in a bumbo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1182130 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 13:18:32 +0000 shinymama 1182130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO actively played with his exersaucer and play mat until about 11 months, but if it's a pain to move them, then donate/sell. </p> <p>I would only consider keeping the receiving blankets if you plan to cut them into all-purpose rags. {I would plan to do it, and then never get around to it - which is why I tossed mine.} </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1182101 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 13:11:21 +0000 purrpletulips 1182101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed with previous posters, aside from Exercauser and blankets it can all go. I find at 13m it was nice to be able to "confine" DS in the exercauser if I had to run to the bathroom or leave the room for a minute or so (although he did protest for a minute or two). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1181686 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:49:35 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1181686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i would only keep the exersaucer and blankets. those you can use as general kid rags: spills, snot etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1181662 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:42:50 +0000 immabeetoo 1181662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 11m and LOVES to cruise around the outside of his exersaucer. I still stick him in it sometimes if I'm cooking. But he loves to crawl through the bottom of it and cruise around it; so you might want to keep that!</p> <p>I would sell or donate the playmat, bumbo, swing, bouncer, mobile, and snap n go. Flannel receiving blankets I'd donate if you don't use cloth rags/ wipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1181652 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:40:09 +0000 Smurfette 1181652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R still uses her exersaucer. I like having someplace to put her so she can't go anywhere. I just moved it up higher, so like she is just standing and she still likes it. </p> <p>We moved our bumbo type seat to the basement. She still uses the activity mat since we have the piano one, so she can sit and bang on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1181622 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:30:51 +0000 keiki_mama 1181622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loveisstrange: Ditto! I'd keep a couple of the receiving blankets because I find them useful sometimes (changing pad in a pinch, snot rag, etc.). Actually at 18 months DS sort of using his activity mat... He likes to pick it up and throw it around the house :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1181616 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:29:33 +0000 bunnylove08 1181616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats on your new home! i would say you can get rid of everything. Sell what you can and buy her toys that will help her get through a new milestone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1181580 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:23:16 +0000 loveisstrange 1181580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It'd say you could probably get rid of everything you listed. Once she was mobile, C had zero interest in anything that kept her still (like an exersaucer). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/moving-what-baby-gear-can-i-get-rid-of#post-1181561 Tue, 29 Oct 2013 10:20:41 +0000 Corduroy 1181561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH, LO &amp; I are moving to our first house (yay!) in a few weeks. LO is 8 months and just starting to crawl. I'm wondering what baby gear I can get rid of now that she's crawling. There are so many things I thought she didn't like when I introduced them at a certain time but then I ended up using later.</p> <p>Bumbo - she sits just fine but I put her in the Bumbo when I go to the bathroom and she seems to be happier for a few minutes. Does the Bumbo serve any purpose once they crawl? </p> <p>Mobile - We have the Fisher Price Precious Planet 2in1 mobile. She hates it. I turned it on once this weekend to confirm she still hates it. Anyone's LO start to like their mobile/light projector later on?</p> <p>Exercauser - I think we still have months left in this but my friend recently got rid of hers. Is the end that close? It's huge so I'd rather not move it if crawlers don't use it.</p> <p>Flannel receiving blankets - I have a million of these. </p> <p>Activity mats - LO sits and plays with the dangling animals</p> <p>Bouncer/swing/boppy/snap-n-go - I assume these can go. </p>
