Many people would disagree and certainly millions of children around the world are raised without all the North American trappings, but ask any parent who has received even 15 minutes of relief from a vibrating chair/swing/wrap/sling/playmat/pack 'n play/Bumbo/Jolly Jumper/[insert ridiculous sounding, but necessary item here] and I feel fairly certain that they'll say it was worth it.
That being said, on a recent trip to the toy store* we ignored the flashier options and managed to spend only $1.99 plus tax.
On a simple rubber ball.
She loves it! It's just the right size and weight for her to hold on to.
Is this a lesson her parents can hang on to?
*Confession! At a different toy store a few days earlier, we spent close to $30 on an awesome lion puppet, because it made her smile. We are suckers for that shark-toothed smile. Hopefully she never figures that out...
