Re: Best of the Best
infant car seat - chicco keyfit
jumperoo - the rainforest one
bassinet - mini ARCS
stroller - city mini
swaddle - there are several but a good one to start with is swaddleme
have fun and congrats on your pregnancy!
infant car seat- peg perego
stroller- peg perego Si
Don't have a jumperoo or bassinet- we love our Maxi Cosi Play Yard though and I heard a lot of good things about Aden & Anais swaddles
These are the things we have...
infant car seat Chicco keyfit 30
jumperoo I like the doorway one. We had a baby einsyeing one also but took it back. DS couldn't reach the ground.
bassinet Disnt use one
stroller City mini
swaddle miracle blanket. Saved my life.
jogging stroller - BOB
swaddling - I am old school and don't like auto swaddle blankets. Aden + Anais blankets (NOT Target brand but the boutique store brand because larger and softer)
I am starting a registry and could use some help...what do you consider the best:
-infant car seat - chicco keygit magic (the magic has a much better sunshade than the rest of the keyfits).
-jumperoo - MIL has the fisher price rainforest one and DS loved it. We owned an evanflo exersaucer and it was awesome being able to switch the toys out on it. I think DS like the jumperoo best though.
-bassinet - no frills graco pack n play. BRU has 25% off graco pnp right now.
-stroller - love my maclaren triumph
-swaddle? - any stretchy blanket will do, but in general I loved the halo sleep sacks.
-infant car seat- Chicco Keyfit 30
-stroller -Chicco caddy for carseat, City Mini
-swaddle? Miracle Blamket!
Are you asking for the absolute best or the best in a moderate price range?
My bests with no price consideration:
-Infant Car Seat - Orbit, then Cybex Aton, then Maxi Cosi Prezi
-Jumperoo - never used one so don't have much feedback
-Bassinet - We had our 2 stroller bassinets, a Monte Ninna Nanna and a Bloom Alma Crib. Overload central. I think you could get good use out of a stroller one and I do really like the Babyletto Grayson Mini Crib since it gives you future option as well.
-Stroller - Bugaboo Cameleon or Orbit G2
-Swaddle - Aden & Anais Bamboo for blankets and Woombie for actually swaddling
Carseat- britax b safe or chaperone
Jumperoo- baby Einstein
Bassinett- we had a PBK one but she didn't really sleep in it. I'd get a RNP if I had to do it over
Stroller- britax b agile
Swaddle- swaddle me's
-infant car seat: Britax Chaperone
-jumperoo: I think all of the Fisher Price ones are pretty good
-bassinet: Mini cosleeper
-stroller: Britax B-Ready or BJ City Select
-swaddle? Regular blankets
-infant car seat: Orbit Baby infant seat
-jumperoo: FP Rainforest and Baby Einstein
-bassinet: We had the Bloom Alma mini crib
-stroller: Orbit Baby and Bugaboo Chameleon. For traveling, we got the BJ City Versa.
-swaddle: Aden + Anais, then when they start to bust out, swaddleme or woombie
-infant car seat - Graco SnugRide. It's affordable and one of the lightest.
-jumperoo - We got a basic Evenflo doorway jumper from a charity sale. I wish I would have bought one with a tray attached, though. We also have this Combi walker that has springs so LO can jump while sitting in it. It's awesome and worth every penny. https://www.amazon.com/Unknown-510028-Combi-Activity-Walker/dp/B000TCV0MQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1349040360&sr=8-2&keywords=combi+car+walker
-bassinet - We bought the FP Rock n Play. It's fantastic. LO still naps in it at 7 months old.
-stroller - We have the Baby Jogger City Mini, but I wish I would have bought the BJ City Select because it has the attachment to make it a double.
-swaddle? LO was born in the winter so we had the fleece ones with velcro.
I'm fairly certain we are gear twins. I have the Orbit, the Cameleon, the Alma, considered the Versa and love Woombie. Are you in NYC?
Infant Carseat - Peg Perego
Jumperoo - Evenflo Triple Fun
Bassinet - Arms Reach Co Sleeper Mini
Stroller - Baby Jogger City Select (LOVE it)
Swaddle - Miracle Blanket (life saver)
-jumperoo - We just had a doorway jumper.
-bassinet - We bought this one for DD2, which worked out fine. The 15 lb weight limit got us to 3 months. The Rock N Play sleeper is pretty great too.
-stroller - We got the Graco Metrolite with DD1, and it's held up really well. It really is a great low priced stroller.
-swaddle- Both of my girls hated to be swaddled. We didn't swaddle at all once we got home from the hospital.
