Thoughts on Pampers Pure Diapers? The best diapers we used (and we tried many brands over the years w 2 babies) were pampers swaddlers but best wipes we found were pampers pure

Thoughts on the new Graco Pack n Play? We have a basic graco pack n play (the older cheapest version...I think it’s called “on the go”) We only wanted it/used it for travel sleep occasionally (my parents and in laws both have a pack n play they keep at their houses for visits and their houses are the main places we went w a baby so we rarely needed to take our own pnp with us on trips). It was more than adequate. If I planned to use the pnp more often for sleep or as a playpen (we never did this), I’d get a nicer playard. [b]

Thoughts on a baby Bjorn bouncer? Is it worth it or should we get a cheaper Fisher Price bouncer. We had a cheap fisher price bouncer and it was just fine-great for our needs (occasional safe place to put baby while we went to the bathroom or cooked or something like that when baby needed to be safely contained for short period of time.) but the baby Bjorn bouncers are a nicer design and do transition to a toddler seat as well and that could be nice to have.

UppaBaby V2 stroller travel system? We had a britax travel system but the uppa baby is very nice so I can see it being worth it if you plan to use your travel system/stroller a lot. We live in the suburbs and did a lot of stroller walks but didn’t need anything fancy as a travel system. If you live in the city and plan to use your stroller as your main mode of transporting baby, I’d maybe go with something nicer like the uppa baby.

Keekaroo worth it or a cheaper changing pad is fine? Love the keekaroo although obviously a cheaper changing pad is also just fine as well.

Anyone else paying more for GreenGuardGold Certified nursery furniture? our nursery furniture—crib, changing table, dresser, bookshelf—was mostly from IKEA. The only nicer quality items we got were an organic crib mattress and glider/ottoman from a nice local furniture store. All of it held up just fine. Crib and changing table have each been used by 3 babies now and still going strong.

Don’t think Keekaroo is wort it based on my research. If you’re going to spend that cash, I would get the Hatch grow so at least you can weigh baby.

Both are splurges.

I feel like this baffles me. I’ve had three kids, My youngest is 8 months, I’ve had a boy and girls and I feel like there have been only a handful of these incidents. Do you take a long time changing them or something?

I have boys and nobody’s ever pooped on the changing pad. Pee only a few
times when they were tiny.

Yea, this is weird to me, too. Two babies, and I really don't think either of them has peed or pooped on the changing pad....?

FTM (due next month) and I feel like everything I read online tells me to get the rubber changing pads like kekaroo because it’s easy to wipe up all the messes, but I much prefer the regular kind of changing pad because they look so much comfier for baby! I’ll take your word for it (and PP’s) and just get a regular changing pad with a cover/some of those waterproof liners. Hoping it’s true that there aren’t TOO many huge messes on them.

The skip hop portable changing pad can also be wiped down and it’s probably 1/10 the price. We live in a townhouse. Had one folded up in every floor and one for the diaper bag. They are amazing

Pampers pure are fine but they are the same price as bambo nature diapers, why not just use those? They are much better for the environment and 'cleaner' than pampers pure.

+1 We are very happy with Bambo Nature! Thinking about switching to a cloth diaper service though.

I am not saying this to be a judgy mcjudgerson but I mean, OP you should never leave your child unattended on a changing table because then can and will roll off of any of them once they reach that developmental milestone. Ease of roll off is a weird consideration because you should never leave them unattended and suspended off the ground, just FYI.
