My great niece got one when she was born. It was a great gift and she used it all the time. When she was bigger she used it as her "chair" in the living room when she held her own bottles, cup, etc. It was just her spot!
They let a few friends use it for newborns then recently got it back and she is glad to have her spot back again!! She is 2 1/2 now!
They took great care of it, cleaned it regularly and plan to use it for a second baby, whenever that happens!!
For them it was a great gift and they used it well (and still do!)
After their great experience, my niece gave one to my SIL when she had her miracle baby...little one was just 2 pounds so didn't use it for a while, but she loved hers too and now its her "spot" at their house as well.
Wish they made one my size! Its like a recliner made of memory foam!
