Is the DockATot an “essential purchase”?

It seems like everywhere I go, everything I see, and everything I hear and read, people are raving about the “DockATot” (for those unfamiliar, it’s a “baby lounger” for tots aged 0-36 months).

However, I see that they are priced at nearly $200 on their website 😰. On top of all the other payments me and my husband will be making with our first child on one steady income, I just don’t know if I can swing it.

But I’m here to ask: for those who have purchased the DockATot, is it a worthwhile purchase? And why? Or why not?

Thanks y’all ❤️.
