Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System- Atmosphere(Denim/ Tan)Chicco Cortina KeyFit 30 Travel System- Atmosphere(Denim/ Tan)
Huge fan of Chicco USA. Everything you want out of a baby product: safe, dependable, easy to use. Researched & tested every carseat and stroller, and would never go with anything other than Chicco. A bit more expensive, but so worth it. Keyfit carseats are one of the safest made & the Cortina stroller is incredibly easy to manage. I flip it open and fold it up one-handed...a plus with a baby!

I love this thing & so does my 3 mos. old daughter. I've used it since she was newborn. Great for walks, shopping trips, errands, or around the house when you need two hands free. Nice material, you can just throw it in the wash, comes in tons of trendy patterns. Holds baby close like in utero.

You just can't live without it! I suggest having at least two slipcovers for it. That way, if poop, pee or spit up gets on it (which it will!) then you can throw another one on.
NATURE BABYCARE Diapers - Eco-Friendly Baby Diapers - Case of 4 Size 2 12-18 lbsNATURE BABYCARE Diapers - Eco-Friendly Baby Diapers - Case of 4 Size 2 12-18 lbs
Go green with these diapers. My daughter is 3 mos. old & I've been using them for about a month. No leaks and my conscience is eased. Even the packaging is recyclable. Finding a diaper that works for your baby & you is trial & error. But I have found that I like these best out of the eco-friendly nappies. Beware, sizes run small.

I have a regular diaper bag (you know, packed to the gills) but this is awesome to just grab & go. Enough space for pad, diapers & wipes. I take it on walks or quick trips to the grocery store. Very convenient!
