Great car seat, safe (according to consumer reports) plus has a triangle handle up top so you can grab it either side! Super important when you're trying to carry two at the same time. Comes with a base, but also works without so you can take it places and use friend's cars as well without lugging the base everywhere.

Nice and simple, but useful. The standard one we got with a changing table was very thin, but great for downstairs on the floor in a pinch. This is nice and cushioned, and has a strap.

Not sure what we'd do without this. Takes a little getting used to to figure out the water volume for the type of bottle you use, but once you get it is the easiest way to warm a bottle at 3am. Gets kind of scungy after a little bit of use from the evaporated water and stuff, but a bit of bleach every so often clears this right up. Seriously, this thing deserves a Nobel prize.

One base station, two roaming receivers. Great. Super sensitive, usually we have it about half volume otherwise it picks up every breath from the kids room. Good range in our multi level house. I did a lot of research into the video monitors, and really they're not quite there yet. These audio ones rock. We've even taken it out to friends so we can chill while the kids sleep without worrying.

Diaper bags generally suck. These don't even really look like one. Lots of pockets for stuff that just has to go places. We use a thermos full of hot water, bottled water, plus dry bottles with pre-measured formula when we go out - then mix 1/3 boiling water and the rest bottled, shake like a martini and you have a nice warm bottle. This fits over the shoulder so you have two arms free.
