[quote=Anonymous]- Stroller system - Thoughts on Britax? Not a fan of stroller systems. I’ve never seen the appeal in attaching a car seat to a heavy stroller (unless it’s a double and you already have a toddler to push around. We got a Nuna Mixx (lays flat and can be used from birth without a car seat) for our long term stroller and just picked up a secondhand Keyfit caddy for the rare occasion (mostly travel) that we want to push around the car seat since it’s very light and easy. But I typically either just carry the car seat on quick errands or take the baby out and put in a wrap/sling or the regular stroller. 
- Bassinet - Thoughts on Halo or The Snoo? If you’re rich the Snoo seems interesting but we don’t have $1200 to throw away on something we’d use for 3 months. Halo is just fine. 
- High Chair - Thoughts on 4Moms? We did a booster seat that straps to a chair to save space. 
- Changing Pad - Keekaroo or something more simple? Keekaroo is totally unnecessary. Get a basic one. Use disposable puppy pads during the “pee on the table” phase—it’s relatively short. 
- Portable Bassinet - Pack and Play? Pack N Plays weigh so much! They are the old school from before the market got better. Much lighter, simpler options out there. We went with the Lotus Guava.
- Swing/bouncer - Fisher Price SnugaPuppy swing and bouncer? Skipped this entirely
- Bottles - Como Tomo and Tommee Tippee? Dr. Brown’s
- Baby Brezza - If we need to supplement or formula feed? Used Dr. Brown’s bottle warmer since we knew it would fit. Tip: Make formula with warm tap water so you don’t have to heat it. 
- Best Breast Pump - Medela Pump n Style? Medela used to be the best but Spectra is newer and better. 
- Crib sheets - Burt’s Bees organic cotton sheets? Never paid attention to brand. I just got a few cotton at PBK and Target. 
- Monitor - Best one? We have Infant Optics. It’s fine but I don’t necessarily think it’s the best out there. 
- Sound Machine - Hatch Baby? We have Wyatt the Whale. 
- Diapers - Pampers Pure or Costco? Doesn’t matter. Don’t stock up before your baby arrives because different brands fit different bodies. We’ve used 4-5 different brands between two kids and both are still in diapers so I’m not ruling out another switch as they grow. 
- Wipes - Water wipes? Don’t get water wipes. If they get warm at all they will grow mildew and bacteria. (This can happen before you buy them if they sit in a warm warehouse or truck during shipment.)  If you all only want water on your kids bum then just buy a bunch of cheap cloths and use actual water. We use Pampers Sensitive wipes[/quote]
