I am due in October and moving to Fairbanks in December. I have lived in Texas my entire life. Any suggestions on items I should be registering for or can start buying now that will make it easier to have a new baby in such a different environment?
A good carrier (or stroller with large wheels like the BOB) and a good carseat cover (we used the JJ Cole Bundle Me) to help keep LO warm when outside. If you like being outside, I recomend getting the carrier and a larger coat than you normally wear. Many people put their LO's in a carrier and just zip the coat over them. A snow suit if you intend to take LO outside. PM me if you want specifics.. I live in Anchorage, but I am in Fairbanks a lot and have family up there.
Fairbanks is super cold in the winter and 'hot' in the summer. I suggest getting Autostart on your car when you get up here. And a warm carseat cover. I do the large jacket/baby carrier move with my little man.
I would recommend looking into things you should keep in your car in the winter too: extra blankets, snow clothes, first aid kit, etc. Cell phones have a lot of dark spots up here (important if you plan on leaving the Fairbanks area).
