What to spend my BRU gift cards on?

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

We've got $400 in BRU gift cards from when the baby was born & Christmas.  And I've got a nice collection of coupons that came in the mail the other day.  I was going to use a good portion of these today along with my registry completion coupon. 

BIg things left on my registry include (in order of most to least expensive): Britax Marathon carseat, Maclaren Triumph stroller, exersaucer, Baby Bjorn (though I think I'm getting a carrier from one of my mom's coworkers), baby gate, mobile (online only), diapers (which we're currently swimming in), and the FP Waterfall soother.

In regards to the convertible seat, I added it after she was born and I don't think I can use the completion coupon with it, but I do have a 15% off coupon that's good now and a 20% that's good one day next week but I don't think I can make it to the store when it's good (I have a class at the same time).  I might also grab a few warmer 0-3 month sleepers.

So... I'm thinking either the car seat or the stroller, the exersaucer (which I have a coupon for) and maybe one other thing.  I don't have enough to get the stroller and the car seat.  Sound good?  What would you buy?

    I would wait on the car seat.  We got our britax convertible as a shower gift and when we got our infant seat inspected, the inspector suggested returning it and buying it when we actually need it for two reasons: 1. britax is constantly upgrading safety features and 2. it prolongs the life of the seat (6 years max).

    BRU has these sleep sacks that are 0-9 months. They come in all different patterns. Or get the Halo sleep sack...that way your baby wont grow out of them for a while.

    I have a few of those.  2 without sleeves and one with.  I may pick up some more because they work great.
