buying for baby

We currently have the Infant Optics DXR-8 video monitor, which I love. I’m thinking of getting a spare monitor to keep in the diaper bag. If we’re visiting friends or family we like to put the baby to sleep in a quiet room at his usual bedtime. We have a cheap v-tech audio only monitor, but...

I found an orbit version on Nordstrom that's very pricey and was not able to find a jogger that had parent facing option that's less expensive during Google search. Does one exist that's not too pricey? Also , is it a good idea or should my kid be facing other way due to the nature of running...

I was looking at lightweight Infant car seats (the Graco weighs 7 lb instead of 17 lb for their other models). I'm concerned about aggravating an old shoulder injury lifting and carrying a heavy carrier. My concern is that the safety rating for the Graco lightweight carrier is so much worse than...

Looking for a travel stroller I can quickly swap between my 5 month old and 2.5 year old. Any recommendations for travel strollers with a really easy to adjust harness and sun shade? (Bonus for easy one-handed fold and unfold too) Thanks!

My baby is turning 1 next week and the Doona is just getting too heavy and we rarely use the stroller feature. I really want the Nuna Rava and I found a local mom selling one in really good condition. It was purchased in July 2018 so that would make the expiration date July 2028. My child be...

So this pregnancy is super unplanned. Me and the husband are not rich nor financially ready to buy the fanciest of the fancy products. I am probably getting most of the items pre loved, which is fine, because paying full price for an item that I am only going to use for a short period of time...

Title pretty much says it. We love the Burt’s bees loose fit pajamas but they only come up to 9 months. Has anyone found something with similar material for 12 month+? The snug fit ones are just not as soft….

Hi all ! I’m due October 1st with my second boy! My first is 3y/o so rather than investing in a double stroller I thought a stroller wagon made more sense for my older one, however I’m finding that some stroller wagons that have the infant car seat adapter the car seat itself takes up a...

Baby #2 is on the way and I’ll have a 2.5 year old once they’re born. We use our baby jogger gt2 daily for walks on the paved trail by our house as well as at seaworld (no restrictions on stroller size at this theme park). We’ve been looking at the Mockingbird but I’d love recommendations on...

Hi all, I was wondering if there was any recommendations for an all terrain wagon? I have two littles (2y/o and 10m/o) but would ideally like a larger/4 seater wagon as we spend a lot of time with other kids (and would potentially like a third in the future). We live in an apartment (3rd story)...

I thought I had finally decided on the Chicco Corso LE but I have one last idea that’s bothering me even though I’m probably overthinking. Should I get the Corso LE travel system OR do the Chicco car seat deal this week, get the free car seat caddy, and then I found a Baby Jogger City Select...

I plan to get a Lotus because it is so travel friendly and easy to set up. My only concern is that it is on the ground compared to others that are like 6 inches of the ground. Has anyone had any issues with this? Is it hard to bend over and put them in? Do your dogs try to get in? Thanks in...

Our son will be 3 months this week. He’s obsessed with the fisher price piano toy. He also enjoys his bouncy seat that has a few toys on it. We’d like to add something else into His toy rotation. What have your babies liked?

We’re trying to find a hybrid van or SUV big enough to grow into. We like the Toyota because it’s cheaper and comes in an 8-seat configuration, but found this video showing how it’s difficult to put a baby in rear-facing seat because the doors don’t open far enough. Looking for someone who owns...

Looking at Option A or Option B

Looking for suggestions for the bath. My 7 month old loves laying back and lounging in his skip hop moby bathtub however he’s basically outgrown the sling and he looks ridiculously uncomfortable when he’s trying to lay down. He gets a bit crazy sitting up in that tub so I’m not sure what our...

We're moving to Turkey next week from the US! Our kids are 4, 18 months, and 4 months. Any recommendations for car seat brands or models? I assume it's European brands that are available. I know I can buy them from E-Bebek - are there other stores I can find them at? We currently have a...

Hello all! The last thing I need on my list is a pack n play. I want something that I can use in our bedroom as a bassinet to start with. Also something that is super easy to set up and take down. I've used my brother's basic Graco in the past when babysitting and it was so hard to set up...

I can’t believe that I’m about to ask for advice on this particular product, but c’est la vie, here we are.... My 18-month-old hates car rides. It’s miserable. She has hated car rides since we first brought her home. All she does is scream and cry. The car seat doesn’t matter - we’ve tried...

Does anyone else use the Philips Avent brand bottle warmer?This bottle warmer is advertised as the FASTEST, being able to heat a 5 oz bottle in 3 minutes. My arse it can. I got one as a gift - it worked for about 2 weeks, then I returned it and got another one, and it it worked for about 2 days...
