What baby gear do you love?

redselig · May 2016

The opposite of @loveymay 's post. What gear gets top praise and why?

AmadorRose · May 2016

Rock n play. It rocks itself and I would pay way more than I did knowing how well it works. Single best investment of my entire life.

I bought one of those OXO wipe dispensers (not a warmer) because I thought it was prettier than the disposable Winnie the Pooh wipe boxes I got as gifts. The thing was like 20 bucks, which seemed absurd at the time, but I really love it. It's so easy to open one-handed and it's just prettier to look at (which I recognize is a bit stupid, but I'm being honest.)

I second @AmadorRose

Arm's reach sleigh bed cosleeper. I barely have to go anywhere when R wakes up at night. When she outgrows it it can double as a "love seat" which is sturdy enough for an adult to sit on so it's not totally useless in two months either.

Babyzen Yoyo Stroller. I live in the city and don't have a car so this is the perfect stroller to take on public transport, I never need help getting the stroller on and off. SO has a small car and it fits well in his trunk. I can one-hand it and fit through narrow shop aisles and doorways. It's so light and so small that somebody asked me if I had a dog in the stroller?! If strollers for dogs exist that's weird.

Ergo! My baby's godmother bought me one and it's awesome! So comfortable and has made life with 4 easier

Yeah dog strollers are a thing. I have several friends who have strollers for their bunnies as well xD

I also second the Rock N Play. We've only had it for three days and I'm obsessed. I wish I could go back in time and buy it before we brought LO home. Would have saved me so much lost sleep.

I also love our changing table. So many people said it was useless and not to bother but NOPE it's so nice to have everything organized and together in one spot so I'm not frantically searching for butt cream while the baby is sleeping.

My bucket bathtub. My first 3 babies loved it and can't wait for this baby's belly button to fully dry out to use it again.

tara4910 · May 2016

I love my uppababy cruz stroller. It's so easy to use and I love how easily my car seat snaps in and out of it. The huge storage basket under is great too!

loveymay · May 2016

our crib with the attached changing table. It was pricey but diaper changes are sooooo easy! I knew I wanted this as soon as I saw it. Its so much easier to change a diaper facing the business end than facing the side.

RoseShadow873 · May 2016

@loveymay That sounds more dangerous to me especially for boys and projectile poops.

I have the Tummy Tub and LO loves it. I can put him in there kicking and screaming and once he touches the water all is calm.

loveymay · May 2016

@RoseShadow873 haha, no projectile poops yet, but we did have a few pee incidents in the beginning until I figured out to cover his penis with a wipe as soon as I take off the diaper. Unfortunately the pee accidents landed on his face and not mine, poor baby!

Lilpenguin3 · May 2016

The baby jogger city select stroller. It is amazing. I love the snap and go feature and the bassinet.

amaniupendo · May 2016

So far:

I love my stroller.

i love the Aden and anais swaddle blankets. Didn't have those with DD.

I love the toddler riding board for the stroller.

I love the playmat.

I love our very simple bouncer chair.

i like my ring sling.

I love my pack and play with the shelves.

I love my Boppy even though I didn't like it with DD.

i love my Fitbit to look at my sleep patterns.

amaniupendo · May 2016

I also love the sleep dresses that require no buttons or zippers during nighttime diaper changes.

nikkinbonnie · May 2016

I love the SwaddleMe sleep sacks. She sleeps so much better now that we have them and they are so easy to do diaper changes at night without having to reswaddle her.

I also love the Moby. She loves it too and it makes for a happy baby during the day. I love having her close to me like that. We just got a Beachfront Baby Wrap, which is t

he same design as the moby but made of light weight fabric for the hot weather and the water. I am stoked on it!

Ellenlbishop · May 2016

Rock and Play and Wubbanub pacifier.

Missingchampagne · May 2016

@nikkinbonnie I use the SwaddleMe sleep sacks too, they are amazing! My dude is always cold so he is wearing a pajama under them, but still, he sleeps and wakes in a more restful manner with them.

wildtot · May 2016

I love the boppy! He spends most of his day sleep on it and helps keep him reclined so he doesn't spill up too much.

jonesl12 · May 2016

Little unicorn brand muslin swaddle blankets . WAY stretchier and softer than Aden and Anais and a bit larger.
seriously the bomb for swaddling and they are cute as hell.
My diaperbag is from there too and it's awesome. Good quality for a good price

Im also a big fan of my Kozii brand bottle warmer. It's easy, fast, made for breastmilk but can heat baby food jars and whatever else too.
you only put water in it once every 10 times u use it . Put bottle in, set timer, that's it and u don't have to worry about it heating too fast or having hot spots

My Britax B-Safe car seat. So easy to adjust and get DS in and out! I have heard complaints about it being too heavy, but it doesn't leave the car, so no issue for me.

I also love our Britax B-Agile stroller. It's lightweight, moves and turns like a dream, and is very simple to open/close. It's technically a travel system but we don't use it as such (I fully recline the seat and buckle DS into the stroller rather than snapping in the car seat).

A+A swadders. So soft and cute! We have four, but I could use like three more sets.

The Honest Company diapers - I have heard mixed reviews on these, but we love them! They fit our slim DS amazingly well, are adorable, and we haven't had a leak yet. We usually use cloth, but these are our "backup stash".

The Tiny Love napper. I definitely wouldn't use this for napping (not a firm or fully flat surface), but it is great as a place to put DS down when I need both hands in the kitchen or to use the bathroom quickly. I like that it gives him full range of body and neck/head motion; he's not overly supported and cushioned, plus it does go pretty flat so his neck isn't hanging low on his chest.

Dr. Brown's bottles and MAM pacifiers. My nipple savers.

K&Elizabeth · May 2016

I love my Moby wrap. I'm pretty sure I'd have lost my mind by now without it.

Not really. I've always wondered why you guys have the changing pads facing the side. It seems so much more annoying to change like that. Never had any incidents with the pad facing me

mybigfatgreekfetus · May 2016

I love my cheap rocking recliner from Ashley Furniture! I sit in it for hours, so I'm glad I bought it! Also love my Medela PISA, Tommy Tippee bottles, Fisher Price Rainforest Friends Bouncer, and BOB Flex stroller.

redselig · May 2016

I love the Weleda Calendula Shampoo & Body Wash. I bought a whole bunch of full size Mustela products and wish I held off because I like the Weleda scent better. When LO's scalp started smelling like pungent cheese because of cradle cap I used that Weleda stuff along with some almond oil and a fine toothed comb. No more cheese scented scalp!

amaniupendo · May 2016

Loving the playmat these days! (7 weeks)

SaVy_05 · May 2016

The rock n play is by far my favorite baby item, I don't even have the ones that rock themselves. They're so easy to move around and out boys love them, plus the incline has been a lifesaver for our little one that has been projectile vomiting.

I am so glad our change table is sideways. LO decided to say good morning today with major projectile poop. I was changing him and he pooped multiple times and one of them flew to the wall that is 5 feet away. Even being on the side it managed to land on me (on my face!). He looked much happier after all that.

rebelone · May 2016

I love my ring sling. I can wear baby all day long and still get things done in the house.

BeatboxBaby · May 2016

I agree with all the sideways facing changing pads! There has been wayyy too many projectile poops to be standing in front!

Also the rock n play is a life saver! We got it as a hand me down...it's not automatic, but we absolutely love it and LO spends a lot of time there!

sarahufl · May 2016

We have the motorized r&p and never attached the motor. But we use the thing all the time (she's in it right now!)
