Must Haves For Baby & Toddler
By an Amazon.com customer
Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing - Nature's TouchFisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing - Nature's Touch
Buy new: $89.99
The swing swivels so that it gives the user the option to swing from front to back, or side to side. Some babies prefer one swinging motion to the other, and this offers both. Worth the extra money.
Prima Pappa Diner - 2007 Nouveau VinylPrima Pappa Diner - 2007 Nouveau Vinyl
The vinyl chair cover makes it easy to clean. And when you are feeding a baby or toddler, you don't want to have to be washing a cloth cover after every meal. These high chairs do run big however, and is until most babies are of a certain height, the tray comes up very high by baby's chin.
Fisher-Price Aquarium Take-Along SwingFisher-Price Aquarium Take-Along Swing
Buy new: $149.99
Allows parent to transport swing from room to room and to and from Grandma's house. My baby liked watching the fish on the side of the swing move in the water.
Chicco C6 Stroller Key LimeChicco C6 Stroller Key Lime
Buy new: $54.25
I have the Chicco Capri Stroller which is very similar to this stroller. While I used other strollers when my child was little, now that he is almost 2, I use this stroller exclusively. It is lightweight, folds "umbrella" style, and is great for taking on the plane.
Britax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat Park AvenueBritax Boulevard Convertible Car Seat Park Avenue
It is easy to install, easy to use, and is worth the extra money. I also own a Graco ComfortSport, but prefer the Britax. It is on the pricey side, but you can use it (according to the manufacturer) from 5 lbs. up to 65 lbs., which means you can use it for many years.
Graco Baby Classics Pack 'N Play Playard - Central ParkGraco Baby Classics Pack 'N Play Playard - Central Park
I picked this version, because it is the closest to the first one we bought. We kept the baby in our room for the first 90 days and he slept in the pack n play with the bassinet feature. I also used the vibration feature to soothe baby, as well as the music/nature sounds and night light. The raised changing table puts less stress on your back, and makes it a breeze to change baby. A must have!
Baby Trend Diaper ChampBaby Trend Diaper Champ
This is way better than the Genie. I've owned both, and this controls the smell better than the other one. Plus, you don't need to buy special bags for the Champ.
BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Original - City BlackBabyBjörn Baby Carrier Original - City Black
Buy new: $56.47
This baby carrier is great for carrying baby around town. Even Daddy can enjoy carrying baby with the Bjorn. Great product; well made. Check sizing, as one size does not fit all.
Evenflo Whisper Connect 900Mhz 2-Way Nursery MonitorEvenflo Whisper Connect 900Mhz 2-Way Nursery Monitor
I don't have this monitor. I own the Sony Baby Call Nursery Monitor - 27 Channel, 900MHz, which I really like. However, I wanted to add a monitor to my list, and this was the highest rated on Amazon.
Playtex Insulator Cup 6 oz. - 1pk.Playtex Insulator Cup 6 oz. - 1pk.
Buy new: $6.79
These are great sippy cups. Also available in 9 oz. size. A must for toddlers.
Philips Avent Express Microwave SterilizerPhilips Avent Express Microwave Sterilizer
Buy new: $29.99
A quick way to steralize avent bottles. Not necessary, but good to have.
Philips Avent Newborn Starter SetPhilips Avent Newborn Starter Set
Buy new: $23.75
We used Dr. Brown's bottles at first because our baby was a premie and too small for the Avent nipples. However, after he was bigger we only used the Avent bottles. They are easy to clean, and it is easy to mix formula in them. A must have.
Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Newborn Feeding SetDr. Brown's Natural Flow Newborn Feeding Set
Buy new: $19.58
We used Dr. Brown's bottles the first few months, because our baby was a premie and the nipple size was small enough for him. Afterwords, we used Avent bottles. However, there are a lot of little pieces to clean, and that can become a pain. If you don't mind cleaning the small pieces, then this is a great bottle.
Graco Baby Einstein Discover & Play EntertainerGraco Baby Einstein Discover & Play Entertainer
Buy new: $79.99
Baby loves this product. Plenty of things for baby to play with and explore. Bright colors are sure to entertain baby.
Tiny Love Gymini - Black, White & RedTiny Love Gymini - Black, White & Red
Buy new: $29.02
I have bought this as a gift for a couple of friends and they say that their babys loved playing with it. A good alternative (and perhaps even better than) to some of the more pricy playmats. If I hadn't received the Baby Einstein Playmat, I most likely would have bought this one. I think it might cost less at Babies R Us.
Lamaze PeekaBoo Clutch CubeLamaze PeekaBoo Clutch Cube

My baby loved this cube. It has many textures, that baby will love to play with. A must have toy.
Lamaze Musical InchwormLamaze Musical Inchworm

Another toy that babies love. It plays music and has the one we have smelled like apples! Designed to stimulate baby's senses of sight, touch and smell. A must have toy.
