can we talk cribs, strollers, and other equipment?

sammyk12 · January 2012

I'm a FTM, and I am really at a loss of where to start. I've been doing some research, but I'm wondering if there is anywhere out there is cyberspace that gives reviews, recommendations, recall info, and such on all the equipment we need? Just searching Babies R Us seemed like we are only going to get opinions on those. Consumer Reports makes you pay for a subscription. Anyone know a good place to start?

I've had Lucie's List recommended to me as a 'survival guide for new moms'. It has product suggestions for every price point as well as what you actually need and what you don't. It does recognize that each baby/mom is different as well and will let you know if other mom's have supported a product.

I'm a FTM as well, but have totally found it to be my go-to for information thus far.

I have found the bump to be really helpful with information, plus recommendations and reviews. Check out the 'nurseries and baby gear' board and read the posts that sound interesting to you.

Thanks ladies! This is a huge help!

I think Consumer Reports is worth it. The online subscription isn't much per year and they have so much good info on baby stuff!

I'm a FTM and bought this book and it's very helpful. I had no idea where to start and it gives you a lot of information you'd never realize or think of yourself.

I agree with this. I swore by it with my first pregnancy and recently bought the updated version (on Kindle) for this one.

I thought Baby Bargains was really helpful

My FIL has access to copies of hte consumer reports through his job for free (he's a librarian) and is willing to look up information for me... starting with the crib which they decided to get for us. Otherwise I would pay for a subscription myself.

Better yet, get it from the library. I only needed it for as long as I researched and registered. The book gets updated every year or so.

I second Lucie's List if you are overwhelmed and not sure where to start.
