Things you see in design magazines that never work in real life, like stacks of books, vases or pillows on the floor--see photo at top of this post. If you don't have somewhere other than the floor to put these items, you don't need them.

Ummm... I don't think so.

My husband and I try to buy most of our plastic/electronic toys at thrift stores or yard sales. That way, we save money, feel good about recycling, and the toys are very easy to clean for the most part.

My son (nine months) particularly enjoys his Leap Frog Musical Table, http://www.amazon.com/LeapFrog-Learn-Groove-Musical-Table/dp/B000ETRENI It retails for $40-$60, but we bought ours on Craig's List for $10. He can use it to pull up into a standing position, and he can practice different hand motions with each of the mechanisms, i.e. pressing buttons, flipping pages, sliding a ball. I see no harm in playing with (recycled) plastic toys.

Love it, love it, love it! This is the only high chair I've seen that would match our modern decor.
