The Parent-Oriented Product Positioning Thread

groovylocks

Do we have a thread like this? What products are you using? Why?

Diapers: Honest Company - we like them because they're the most sustainable option from what i can tell (no energy used to clean, no thousand year breakdown process) and no blowouts yet!

Wipes: Same. Natural and unscented and gentle.

Body Wash: Baby Mantra (lavender - smells like hippies. CLEAN hippies smell nice. Comforting etc)

Body lotion: Same. Same reason. 

Jammies: Carter's. Because the only thing cuter than Carter's jammies is the actual baby inside them.

Breast pumps: Medella - no idea what other pumps are like. Chose this because it's what they used in the hospital. 

Formula: N/A right now but we bought a pack of Honest Co formula in case of emergency (mummy gets stranded for example)

Diaper rash cream: Bordeaux's Butt Paste - Aquaphor sworn to me by many - didn't do a damn bit of good. 

Add your own products i'm missing..

I'll play

Diapers: Pampers Swaddlers. We originally were going to do cloth, but once he finally grew into them around 10 weeks old they pissed him off. Screams every time we put them on him until we take them off. Swaddlers fit his thunder thighs and he had a reaction to every other diaper we tried. 

Wipes: Huggies water wipes. Because we have a closet full of them that we received at our shower and they don't give him a rash.  

Body wash: Burt's Bees. I have a strong family history of sensitivities to body wash and perfumes, this seemed like a good first product to try. No signs of issues yet. And it smells really nice. 

Lotion: Burt's Bee's. Same reason as body wash. 

Pajamas: No idea...we have yet to buy clothes once he outgrew the preemie stuff we bought. We were gifted the rest. I think it's mainly Gerber and Carter's.  

Breast pump: Medela PISA. It's the pump my insurance covered. I'm provided with the Symphony in our lactation rooms at work, as well.

Formula: Holle. He's EBF, but I always leave formula with whoever watches him just in case. Especially now that I am back to work and do 12 hour shifts and can be mandated an extra 4 hours. Holle because it is raved about by so many, he has had a few bottles and did well. It smells and tastes pretty good.  

Diaper rash cream: Burt's Bees (Burt's Bees errythang for Henry). Cleared him right up when the other diapers had him broken out. Haven't tried anything else. 

ETA 

Bottles: we started out with Dr. Brown's using a preemie nipple. I got tired of all the parts and used the Options for a bit, but we switched to Playtex drop-ins to reduce dishes further. The slow flow NaturaLatch nipple is surprisingly only slightly faster than the Dr. Brown preemie. 

**Addition: Breastmilk storage. I use Evenflo 8 oz glass bottles with Medela lids to store milk in when I'm working. He goes through almost exactly 16 oz since I work 12's, so they work well. 
For freezing I used Lansinoh for a bit and froze in 4 oz aliquots, that got expensive quickly. I recently started using Pouchies because they hold 8 oz and that's the amount I get per pumping session at work.

Mizuiro007

Diapers: in the process of transitioning both kids over to cloth (because the cost is getting to me) so flats and flip covers during the day and pampers swaddlers for DD and Huggins cruisers for DS overnight.

Wipes: same thing as with the diapers. Using up babyganics (all DS can use in disposable wipes) and sometimes basic flannel wipes with spray wipe solution (haven't settled on a brand yet but yay! No more diaper rash)

Body wash: Cetaphil baby. Again, DS's sensitivity and I like the smell (actually started using it myself). I wash their hair with the shampoo and body wash since it's tear free then wash with the ultra moisturizing wash all over. I also used the honest Co detailing spray on DS for his cowlicks and California baby conditioner on DD (her hair can't decide between curly and straight so it just frizzes).

Lotion: Cetaphil baby

Pajamas: carter's when I can get a good deal, sometimes circo for DD and gerber nightgowns

Pump: spectra S 9. What insurance would cover that had a rechargeable battery.

Formula: on the occasions we supplement we use Enfamil infant. It's the first one we found that didn't make DD sick so we went with it.

Diaper rash cream: Bodreaux's butt paste. We've always used original but switching to natural (mote cloth friendly) and for DD trying Grovia itty bitty magic stick (so far loving this thing).

navyblueladybug

Diapers: Pampers Swaddlers. We did Huggies Snugglers in between the newborn and size 1 Swaddlers because they fit DD's skinny legs better. 

Wipes: We bought the jumbo box of Pampers sensitive but the Huggies Natural are my fave and I'm so bummed I have 808 to use up before I can justify going to the more durable Huggies ones  

Body wash: Johnson and Johnson Night time body was and we use the Lavender shampoo. 

Lotion: We haven't had to use lotion on DD yet, but I was gifted one from Arbonne Baby at a shower, so I have that if I need it. 

Pajamas: Carter's!!! I love all their clothes... Especially the terry cloth jammies! I even loved a few of the prints so much I replaced the newborn size with 3 month size (two different jammies). I should probably get them in bigger sizes in case the d/c the print soon

Pump: When I was pumping it was with the Medela Pump In Style. 

Formula: Gerber Gentle. We did the supplement kind when we supplemented and switched when I stopped pumping. DD has never had a problem. 

Diaper cream: good old Vaseline! We have Aquaphore too, just in case, but DD hasn't had a rash yet! 

**Addition**

Bottles: we use Medela because they came with the pump but when we move to the bigger bottles I think we will switch (they don't have a vent so the nipple collapses, unless you don't screw the cap on tight but then it leaks). We will probably switch to Avent or Mam. 

Lucy1108

Diapers: Huggies Little Snugglers: I like them but there not holy grail. I'm not completely loyal to anything yet and am curious about everyone's responses. 

Wipes: Water Wipes: They're 99.9% water and fruit extract. They do a great job cleaning up and are gentle enough to use on baby's face and hands. We've tried other brands and my baby's bottom was instantly irritated. I wouldn't use anything different. 

Body Wash: Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Creamy Wash: Gentle, soap free, fragrance free,  moisturizing and soothing.

Lotion: Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Moisture Cream. Extremely Moisturizing and gentle. My baby had eczema on his face and anything I bought target towards baby eczema would burn my face so I wouldn't put it on him but this. It solved the problem quickly and we use it twice daily head to toe.

Pajamas: I like Carters but I'll buy other brands. They just have to be a soft cotton, it can't feel cheap or thin (that doesn't mean it has to be expensive), I also like footed pajamas with snaps not zippers (because they don't lie on the body nicely).

Pump: I used the death out of my Medela Pump in Style. I exclusively pumped for two months. Ive only tried that and the Medela that was covered by my insurance and the Pump in Style was way better, quieter and I got more milk. (But I hate pumping either way)

Formula: Similac Sensitive Ready to Feed: We had some reflux issues and this helped solve it. It does however stink. Baby's burps stink, baby's farts stink, baby's poop stink, even baby's hand stink from sticking them in his mouth and they only sell the 8oz single serve so when we're out we waste a lot because my DS at most only eats 4oz.

Diaper Rash Cream: Aveeno Baby Soothing Relif Diaper Rash Cream: We haven't had any diaper rashes possibly because of this cream but I'm unsure. We use it at night in a thick layer and anytime his bum is even slightly red. 

Burp Cloth and Bibs: I really like Carters teething bibs because they're soft and don't have that annoying stiff plastic feeling. I also like there burp cloths because there thick and soft. 

Shampoo: Aveeno Baby Gentle Conditioning Shampoo: It's super gentle and moisturizing but not helping with his cradle cap so if anyone has any suggestions besides Dr. Bronners Magic Soap because I think it burns his scalp. (DS cries during every use)

Bottles: Pigeon Infant Suckling Baby Bottles: If your lo has a cleft lip or palate these are the easiest bottles to use. We tried a few but I was only able to feed him now anyone can. Dr. Brown just came out with some specialty bottles and I cant wait to try them out because they're easily accessible!

Breast Milk Storage: I used Madela Pump and Save Bags and all the milk I've thawed has been spoiled! I stopped pumping but I still have a lot frozen and don't know what to do because I'm afraid it's all rancid  

I'm excited about this thread. I'm really interested in what others are using and please add more categories if you have favorites!

oregonmommy-2

Wipes: Parents Choice- Got a huge case of them.

Diaper Cream: A&D ointment- it was suggested to us and it works.. We keep his butt lubed all the time.

Clothing: Carter, Old Navy- I find they fit the best and are so cute!! And always on sale!!

@Lucy1108 Sounds like an excess lipase issue. I have the same thing - figured out my entire stash of frozen milk from my maternity leave was spoiled and nearly cried. There are remedies for it if you are interested.

As long as the baby will drink it, no remedies are needed scalding before freezing will stop the lipase issue though.

Trust me, I know. I have been scalding my pumped milk for quite awhile now. I have read several books on the issue. I am quite familiar with it since it has become the story of my life.

@Lucy1108, if you have any questions about this, I'm happy to chat with you about it.

angetralala

@Lucy1108  Try the Mustela foam shampoo for cradle cap; it's the only thing I've ever used on DD as a preventative measure and I've never had an issue. I hear it works great for people whose kids already have cradle cap, too.

esscapelle

Diapers: Members Mark (Sam's Club FTW)

Wipes: Pampers Sensitive

Diaper Cream: Butt Paste

Lotion: Aveeno unscented

Wash/Shampoo: Johnson & Johnson

Bottles: Dr. Browns

Formula: Members Mark Gentle (Sams Club again)

Bombmom3

Diapers: Huggies.  Because Costco sells them
by the pallet and I have two kids in diapers.   Used to do cloth before the baby came and loved them but I just couldn't keep up with the laundry.  

Wipes: Huggies Natural (the ones with the big green leaf on the front).  Because Costco sells them by the tonnage and I have three kids making messes everywhere.  They are also durable, will clean almost anything and don't give my yearling with a super sensitive butt bleeding diaper rash when I use them, unlike other brands in tried with her.  

Clothes:  So obsessed with Carters boy clothes.  So obsessed.  It's seriously a problem.  I also really like The Children's Place brand.  They generally always have a sale going on and their girl clothes are not horribly offensive (I don't feel the same way about girl clothes as I do boy clothes at all).  

Jammies: Carters.  But really anything with a zipper because I believe that someone who never had children created sleepwear with snaps.  I can never button them right at 3am, blurry-eyed with the lights off with only forty minutes of sleep under my belt.

Rash Cream: Bordeux's Butt Paste is where it's at.  Love that stuff.  But I think it smells weird (like day old bacon grease).  

Fruit Pouches: Not there with Little Man yet, but these things are freaking life savers when your kids are older and are screaming at you for food when you are balls deep in some household project that isn't conducive to making something on the fly or helping your kid eat.  My favorite brand is Earth's Best.  

Books: The Matthew Van Fleet books and the Nancy Tillman books are very, very popular in this house.  Also anything by Sarah Boyton.  

Infant Toys: We're kind of obsessed with the Lamaze brand.  My older kids still play with the Lamaze infant "stroller" toys we got for them (each kid has a specific animal that was theirs in addition to the shared ones).  Now that Little Man is starting to bat at things we'll be getting one for him as well.  

mperotti220

Diapers: pampers swaddlers

Bottles: Medela ones that come with pump (switching to mam when she starts to eat more) 

pump: Medela (100%insurance covered) 

breastmilk storage: Lansinoh cuz they store flat!

jkloeppel

Diapers: pocket cloth diapers from Kawaii and Nicki's diapers. So awesome and easy.

I just get what's on sale for most everything else. 

littlebitmom

Diapers- Pampers Swaddlers 

Wipes- Huggies Natural. Target brand broke her out and I thought they were super thin...

Diaper Rash Cream- Compounded cream from a local pharmacy. My whole town uses it, so good!!! 

shampoo- Johnson & Johnson head to toe wash

Bottles- Dr. Brown

Breastpump- Medela (100% covered by insurance)

Formula- Target Brand Up&Up sensitive. Pediatrician said it was exactly the same as the brand name. 

Clothes/Jammies- Carters for sure!

Stroller/Car seat- Britax. Their customer service is amazing!

ammnam14

I'm the odd one out. I hardly ever pay attention to brands and switch it up every time I go to the store. The only constant in her life is similac formula (I usually switch up the type every time) and Dr. Brown bottles. So far so good!

pupsicle23

@groovylocks Do you do the delivery service or buy them in the store?

Diapers: Pampers Swaddlers by day, Luvs with "night lock" at night

Wipes: Whatever is on sale. We try to get the natural versions. I have crazy sensitive skin, but DD doesn't seem to have it,  thank goodness. 

Soap/Lotion: California Baby Calming. It smells so nice!  And I've used lavender essential oil to help me sleep, so I like to think the smell is helpful. 

Diaper Cream: I asked for some in the hospital and am still using the random tube they gave me

Paci: She loves her Wubbanub but is coming up on 3 months, so I'm going to cut the pacifier part off of the Wubba. I bought some Dr. Brown pacis to try.

PJs: Carters or whatever I can find at Target

I like seeing formula choices. We don't have any,  but I want to get some before I go back to work.  

NellieHarringtonCarter

Diapers - Luvs usually, but whatever is on sale. I usually prefer Pampers, but they are expensive, and my DD seems to blow out of them. 

Wipes - Parent Choice from Walmart, only because we were gifted with a case. I prefer Huggies, but usually go with the Kroger brand wipes.

Diaper Rash Cream - Bordeaux's Butt Paste or A & D ointment

Shampoo - Johnson's Baby Head to Toe Wash

Bottles - Medela, Avent Natural, and Nuk. Trying to figure out which works best, but she's not picky

Breastpump - Medela Pump in Style

Breast Milk Storage - Up and Up or whatever is on sale, but Medela are nice because you can pump directly into them

Formula - Right now, Enfamil for Supplementing, but I read an article that said it was the same as most regular formulas with added Vitamin D, so I might switch to something cheaper and add my own Vitamin D

Clothes - Whatever fits, but I prefer buttons to zippers

Stroller/Car seat - Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Travel System

Carrier - I have a wrap thats not a Boba or a Moby, but it's a pain in the butt so far. Staticky and by the time I get it wrapped right and the kid in it, she gets pissed and wants out. Might opt for a Boba to see if any different, or a traditional or sling carrier for summer.

Lucy1108

@laceyh13 I read about the lipid thing but my milk smells sour not soapy. Is there a way to tell for sure? I already stopped pumping but I would love to salvage what I have. He wouldn't drink it but if he can maybe I can mix it with formula.

kelseyofanne

Oh I forgot to mention for breast milk storage I use half pint mason jars. 

Edit: wide mouth version

TomekiaB

Diapers: Pampers Swaddlers DH really likes the wetness indicator. I didn't like Pampers Baby Dry the leg openings seemed a little rougher. I didn't notice anything significant about the huggies we tried in newborn size. I contemplated cloth diapers but honestly I can barely keep up with laundry now (how does one tiny human make so much laundry?!).

Wipes: pampers sensitive, tried a package of regular huggies wipes and it seemed to contribute to diaper rash. My DH thinks it was a coincidence and would love to switch because "they are tougher" I'm not convinced my 2 month old needs a tougher wipe, maybe at 6 months.

Toiletries: Mustela it smells good and it reviewed well, ingredients appear pretty safe. I use the dermo-cleanse for body wash, newborn foam shampoo (cleared cradle cap in one use, he started to get it before we started to use shampoo), hydra bebe lotion, massage oil (sunflower oil based), I also got the face cream and use the physiobebe as a toner and DS's baby acne has cleared (I typically use it once per day).

Jammies: Carter's & Gap. I super am picky about colors and prints (I don't like most words on baby clothes, most animal prints or pastels). I can typically find things I like for boys I like if I keep an eye on there websites (I order it all on sale).

Breast pumps: Spectra S1, closed system, dual voltage, and rechargeable battery--love it. Avent natural manual pump, great for when I want something smaller in the diaper bag (fast let down makes BF in public hard...).

Bottles: Avent Natural glass, 0 & 1 nipple sizes

Blankets: Aden & Anis muslim and SwaddleDesigns flannel

Burp clothes: gerber cloth diapers I prefer the multi-layered ones to catch over active letdown, single ply for everything else.

Breastmilk storage: Nene supply for storage (love the 1 piece lid for the storage bottles). Also love the avent storage containers because they stack and with the included adapter I can pump directly into them. Freezer bags still looking lasinoh leaked when I put them in the freezer (not on thawing) and has way to many pieces, I like nuk better but wouldn't buy either again.

Breast pads: bamboobies, the Lasinoh ones itch, nuk and chicco are bulky

Breast cream: tried earth mama, angel care, lasinoh lanolin, bamboobies and mustela--the lanolin hurts to put on. earthmama, angel care and bamboobies are really similar I probably like bamboobies a little more just because it smells a little better and is slightly more smooth than earth mama or angel care.

Formula: none--early engorgement built a freezer stash

Diaper rash cream: Any petroleum one (Vaseline, Aquaphor or A&D--I think they all say 41%), the zinc ones like butt paste etc. seem to "sticky" and seem to irritate DS's skin.

Carrier: Boba 4G LOVE how easy the infant insert is and that it is included, boba wrap--I like it but the Boba 4g is so easy we rarely wrap.

TomekiaB

@lucy1108 if it smells sour, it may have gone bad. Have you tasted it? I'd try tasting it if you want to try to try to save it.

mperotti220

Tried the como tomo bottle today....DD LOVED it! We have been successfully using the regular Medela ones but I thought feedings could go a little better so I bought one and my goodness what a difference! 

celainev

Diapers: pampers swaddlers

wipes: pampers natural sensitive

formula: good start 1 with probiotics powder

those are pretty much the only things I consistently get. 

ksrkim

Diapers: Pampers Swaddlers

Wipes: up and up (Target brand) unscented, mostly because I feel they are easier to get out of the package than other brands, they stick together less 

Diaper Cream: A & D, Sudocream, vaseline

Clothes: Carters, Old Navy, for socks I use Jordan socks because they are the only ones that stay on.

Bathing: Mustela products

Bottles: Dr. Brown's for now, may switch to Playtex Drop-Ins for the wider nipple and less parts 

Laundry: All Free and Clear, Dreft Stain Remover 

Breastpump: Medela Pump in Style

Breastmilk Storage: UpBub, for pouring easily. I haven't thawed my frozen milk yet so I don't know if the leak or not. That would be a bummer. 

Favorite Convenience Item: Baby Bum Brush, sounds dumb but I hated getting diaper cream under my finger nail. 

teachmegs817

Diapers: Target brand and Pampers swaddlers

Wipes: Pampers sensitive is what I have a lot of. I had a good coupon for Huggies wipes so I bought a box of those.  They are almost gone.  Maybe another 2 weeks left, but I prefer the Pampers brand

Body Wash: J&J nighttime wash. We use it on every 3rd bath.  DS is starting to get baths every other day, but we just use warm water and wipe him down with a warm washcloth. He gets a good soapy rinse 2x a week.

Body lotion: J&J lotion, but I rarely use it. LO uses the eczema Aquaphor cream on his face. Small dabs 2x a day.  He has a decent sized spot on his cheek and two smaller spots on his ear. Inherited the eczema from his momma. 

Jammies: Carter's and more specifically zipper jammies. I do have the button down kind, and used to never have a preference, but I do find I go and grab his zipper ones first.  I'll use the button ones if the rest are in the wash.

Breast pumps: I have a Medella and I like it.  It was covered by insurance so that's another reason why I got it.

Formula: Enfamil Nutramigen- DS could not tolerate any other brand we tried.  We've been on this for about 6-7 weeks now

Bottles: Dr. Browns wide neck bottles. Something about the wide neck ones makes it easier for DS to drink from.  He was drawing in almost the entire nipple on the regular Dr. Browns bottles that we have.

Diaper rash cream: I use Desitin, but I am going to be using Butt Paste from now on.  DS just got his first gnarly diaper rash and the Desitin is not cutting it. 

Swaddle: Swaddle Me brand. We are now using Carter's cotton receiving blankets too.  They are light weight, but heavier than a muslin blanket. I like them better.  I love that DS likes to be swaddled, but know that he's starting to get to the point where we should probably try to transition him out of it.  He's not quite ready yet, and won't sleep longer than 30-40 minute periods un-swaddled or unwrapped. I am hoping when we do start putting him into just a sleep sack it's not a rough transition

LaceyH13

@Lucy1108 Mine smelled and tasted sour, not soapy too. I still have my old stash, but I haven't found any way to salvage it. I scald all of my pumped milk now, which I thought would be a huge pain, but it isn't too bad - takes less than two minutes on the stove, then I cool it gradually. I tried feeding my LO mixed milk - 25% old milk, 75% scalded milk and he barely took it, but fought a lot, so that doesn't seem to be a good option for me, but you could always try it. Otherwise I will probably end up either saving it for topical use or donating it to a milk bank.

it might seem weird, but tasting was the best way for me to gauge the problem. My milk never tasted sweet like some people say it should, even when freshly pumped, until I scalded it and then tasted it, and then it tasted somewhat sweet. My LO doesn't have any issues nursing but my milk must be scalded if he is to drink it from a bottle, even if it was pumped just a few hours ago, so mine must spoil pretty quickly.

Swaddle: just bought a miracle blanket swaddle

chillmama1518

Diapers: pampers baby dry (seem to hold more than swaddler)

Wipes: pampers sensitive when we're out of the house but just terry washclothes with warm water at home, sensitive butt on our little guy

Bum cream: Vaseline regularly but aveeno diaper rash cream when he's 

Bath products: aveeno creamy wash and aveeno shampoo, aveeno lotion. Occasionally J&J nighttime bath,I see using this more when he's a bit older and bathing longer and at night.

Pump: medela symphony rental 

Breastpads: lansinoh for disposal but looooove the Bamboobies washable heart shaped for day and the overnight ones

Storage: Dr Brown bottles with travel kids in fridge, NUK bags in freezer


Bottles: Dr Brown with ultra preemie nipple has helped is avoid nipple confusion (level one nipples made him fuss at the boob)

Sleepers: any brand we've been gifted! UO but I like ones with snaps so we don't have to undo all the way at night. 

Car seat/stroller: Britax b-safe and Britax B-agile

No swaddling for us, we use a wearable blanket so he can kick out his toots

Carrier: moby wrap for now, looking into ordering a Tula though as I've heard great things! 

BellaM110

Diapers: pampers swaddlers 

wipes: pampers sensitive

formula: enfamil gentlease

bottles: dr brown options 

blankets: Aden and anais 

swaddle: halo 

stroller: Chicco bravo

carrier: boba wrap and ergo 360 (but we haven't tried out the ergo yet since he's too small) 

amye02

Formula: enfamil gentle ease

Bottles: dr browns 

Pacifier: MAM

breezypip

Diapers: Pampers Swaddlers. We were gifted a ton and have loved them but haven't tried any others yet. DH loves the color strip.

Wipes: Pampers sensitive

Body Wash: we were gifted Johnson & Johnson baby washcloths that are pre-soaped and they've worked out really well and smell great. Picked up the lavender bedtime ones that are "clinically proven to help baby sleep better" but I can't vouch for that!

Jammies: Carters zip ups work best for us. Also love Gap Baby clothes and H&M

Breast Pump: Medela pump in style with travel case. Seems good but I'll really put it to the test starting next week when I go back to work. Covered by insurance.

Breast milk storage: Medela. Just getting into it now and it seems really nice.

Bottle: Dr Browns bottles are going ok. We also have Mam and Latch to try. DD isn't a big bottle fan.

Formula: If need be we will use our samples of Enfamil Supplementing if I can't pump enough for daycare or when I'm away.

Swaddle: Oliie Swaddle. Lifesaver!

Carrier: Solly Wrap for now and we have an Ergo 360 to try out.

caketimes

Diapers: pampers swaddles, we're trying to move to cloth but it's a challenge, for cloth we have rumparooz covers and trifold inserts.

Wipes: we use Medline dry wipes, we keep a bowl of water by the changing table and soak them as needed. For the diaper bag we use water wipes.

Bottles: Como tomo 

Pump: Limerick PJ's Comfort Bliss hospital grade pump, phenomenal pump! 

Swaddle: aiden & anaïs dino themed swaddles, work great for bottom only wrap

Stroller: Uppababy Cruz

Car Seat: Chicco Keyfit 30

Carrier: Boba Wrap; I like it, DD does not. Ergo 360, we like it for outdoor trips. Ring Sling, excellent for holding baby indoors! 

Clothes: Carters and any kind of hand me downs I can get my hands on

Holdmomma

Diapers: pampers swaddle, never had a blowout with these, so we'll stick with them for a while

Wipes: Costco store brand

Bath products: coconut oil massage before bath then Honest Co baby wash 

Bottles: Tommee Tippee (tried Dr. Browns b/c we had a stash from baby #1 and this one wouldn't latch on to them properly)

Formula: Similac Sensitive

Pump: Medela Symphony 

Pajamas and Swaddle: aiden & anaïs - arms out with Carters Just One You (Target exclusive) cotton Jammies. DS grows out of the length of the regular Carters too quickly. Just One You collection are a smidge longer. 

Stroller: Too many! Bob Revolution single stroller, Bob Double stroller, and Chicco snap 'n go. The worst part is DS doesn't like the carseat which at his age he needs to use in all our strollers, so I mostly just wear him and push the 3 year old in the stroller. 

Car Seat: Chicco Keyfit 30, just picked up the Next Fit at BRU for 25% off with their gear trade in event. 

Carrier: K'tan (used it a bit, but we're about done with it); B'jorn (hubby prefers this one and DS is starting to enjoy facing forward); Ergo (my current favorite, DS falls asleep every time in this one, my first baby cried every time though)

What's funny to me is that all these products we choose after doing a bunch of research, and so often our baby ends up telling us which is best and we end up disregarding our personal preference.
