I just bought the Bumbo yesterday as a matter of fact. I had never seen the tray before then but my thoughts were it seems to be a decent thing. Ds is too little yet (7 weeks) so I didn't get it but I thought for $10 bucks it will be worth it when he can use it, plus, some friends of mine sat their kids in the Bumbo for feeding so it would work good to set food on for you while feeding!
