I keep going back and forth on which one to register for. Everyone I know has used the bumbo, but the boppy seat looks like it maybe hasn't been around as long since every website I look up there aren't as many reviews as the bumbo has.
Here is the comparison page so you can see both..

@Mrs.Pinecone316: We had the Mamas & Papas snug seat and also got the activity tray and LO loved it.

@lawbee11: That looks awesome, I haven't seen that one yet. Where did you get it?

@Mrs.Pinecone316: I registered for it at Babies R Us but I'm sure they have it at Target and on Amazon or other major retailers as well.

We had a bumbo and never used it. DD1 had really chunky thighs and by the time she had the neck support to sit in it she was too big.

@oliviaoblivia: I've read a lot of reviews about the chunky thighs being an issue with the bumbo. It seems like the snug seat or boppy one would be better if we do end up with the chunky baby:)

@Mrs.Pinecone316: we have the one posted above. Our sons chunky thighs fit great!

@lawbee11: I was just going to suggest that. We have it for DD2 and she loves it. It's pretty rad!
It has so much more support than the Bumbo.

We had the prince lionheart seat. Pretty sure we only used it 3 or 4 times. We sold it, and I don't think I'll buy a seat for a future baby. Just seemed unnecessary.

@oliviaoblivia: @Mrs.Pinecone316: I also had the chunky thigh issue with the Bumpo. I was so excited about getting to use it and then he never fit! I'd definitely would go with something with more "give" to it next time.

@lawbee11: I'm so happy to see this! I'm buying one from someone on Craigslist tomorrow. J is a chunky monkey and I don't think he'll fit in a Bumbo.

@Mrs. Jump Rope: @MrsF: We have M's stored in her closet and she still runs for that damn activity tray every time she sees it and she's 18 months!

@lawbee11: good to know! She's obsessed with the lion that spins & the chewy flower.
They pop out, in case no one else knew this. I took the toy part apart to clean & let her play with. The flower thing is a really awesome teether!
