Nurseries and Baby Gear

how many things do I need to put my baby in?

I feel like I could fill my small house just with gear to put my baby in...when it will probably be held or put on the floor a lot! This is what I am thinking of putting on my registry...tell me if I am being unreasonable, but keep in mind my house is SMALL. 

1 type of seat (bouncy, swinging, etc)

1 pack and play type thing

1 stroller

1 high chair

1 crib

1 baby carrier (ergo or boba) 

 

does that seem like it would cover all my bases?

  • Looks good to me . I suggest if you don't get some of that stuff off your registry to look at places like Craigslist for things like the carrier, pack and play and swing . If you can find a good deal on a crib that's great too but buy your own mattress. Y

  • If you don't have a lot of space, instead of a traditional high chair you might want to go for a seat+tray that straps onto an existing chair depends on if you have a regular chair you are willing to give us). And car seat.

  • Looks good to me, although I probably will add a RocknPlay to your list, and perhaps hold OFF the PacknPlay.

  • I think like pp stated you can probably do without the pnp if you don't plan on traveling.
    I will say as they get mobile it is nice to have a pnp to confine LO when you are in the shower.

    It really just depends on your life style. I h

  • In my experience: you never know. As PP said, I would go with the strap on a chair type high chair, and a combo bouncy seat/swing. My DS has had a preference for each "holding" option, but at different stages. For the first few months it was the bouncy se

  • Why do you need a pack and play? Also, you can wait to buy a highchair until later when the baby will actually use it.
