I'm thinking about getting LO (7.5months) a learning table... The ones I've seen are atleast 40 dollars... are bigger, expensive toys worth the money?
What expensive toys have you purchased? Do you thing it was worth it?

LO is almost 7 months, and we have the leapfrog learn and groove table. I couldn't stomach spending $40 on it, so I bought a used one on Craigslist for less than half that. At this point, I'm glad I didn't spend more. She likes it okay, but no more than her blocks, shape sorter, and stacking cups, which all cost a lot less. I'm hoping she'll like it more as she gets older and starts pulling up.
ETA: Right now we don't have the legs on it, so she sits on the floor to play with it. I think that once she's standing and can reach all of the components better it will be more fun.

We have a learn and play kitchen. I borrowed it from SIL, but it retails for over 200 bucks!! My LO loves it and has so much fun with it. I definitely wouldn't have purchased it for that much, but I would probably drop $150 for a retro play kitchen. I think it's worth the investment.

I don't know. LO's jumparoo was pretty pricey and she did use it and love it for a while, but I wish she loved it longer.

We have a learning table and we paid a lot more than $40 for it (that's Europe for you, everything is twice the price, at least). At 16 months, DS still loves it, so I consider it well worth the money.

This time around I've bought almost everything used (2nd child syndrome?! lol) her swing was pricey, well worth it, her jumperoo was used regularly, her chicco walker was $60 and she loves it! Some toys are worth it, some are not. I'm looking for a learning table now, I won't pay full retail for it though.
