Best source for baby product reviews?

Just wanted to ask for recommendations on good sources for baby product reviews? I am mainly looking for car seat and stroller reviews but I'm also interested in cribs.  My problem is that a lot of what I have found seems to be based on what is trendy. I have no problem spending extra money to get a better product but I don't want to waste money just to buy the trendy brand.  I want to understand what is the best product and why. Any recommendations are appreciated.

  • I've seen people recommend a book called Baby Bargains.  My library has it, so I'm going to check it out.

    https://www.amazon.com/Baby-Bargains-Secrets-furniture-maternity/dp/1889392405/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1339382666&sr=1-1

  • I bought Baby Bargains. I have read the entire book and have used all of its recommendations since it is pretty overwhelming to decide which brand is the best of certain items.

  • Baby Bargains. HANDS DOWN. We actually went to BuyBuy Baby today and were so thankful we had the book for referencing. We were able to see a product we liked, check in the book to see if it was good, and keep right on walking if the score they gave was low. It was great!! :D

  • I check Amazon for anything I am interested in purchasing.  There are a few junk reviews but a lot of people are very elaborative on pros and cons.  I haven't read the book PPs mentioned but if three of them say it's good, surely it is Smile.  I'd check Amazon for the review of that book as well Stick out tongue.

    I recommend Baby Bargains as well! We read through each major section (cribs, bouncers, swings, bath tubs, car seats, strollers) and marked what we were interested in. It made registering like 100X easier and less stressful. We did Target and BBB in one day!
