Combi Spoleto LX Infant Stroller PlumCombi Spoleto LX Infant Stroller Plum
This stroller rocks. Its really lightweight, folds compactly, has a huge sunshade and storage basket, is very sturdy, has an adjustable handlebar, and maneuvers incredibly well. Super easy for zooming through airports and maneuvering through all kinds of terrain since its narrow and easy to lift up over obstacles.

We're using this as our primary crib and changing table, and its worked out great. I love the canopy -- not just pretty, it provides nice shade for naps. I'm not that pleased with the mattress, as we found it to be somewhat bumpy, especially when in the bassinet position, but overall this crib has worked out wonderfully.

This thing is great! It provides a generous, soft surface for diaper changes anywhere and has a convenient storage pocket for the included wipes case and other things like diaper cream. All folds up neatly, enabling you to make any bag "the diaper bag".

Gotta have one of these for the first five or so months, so baby has a comfy place to sit and look at interesting toys. I changed the toys often, and for the first several weeks primarily used the black/white/red patterned cards from the Infant Stim Mobile. This bouncer was the lightest/easiest to fit in our luggage, and has the added feature of an adjustable recline.

Got this super cheap at a discount store, and it was easy to take apart and fit into our luggage. A no-frills swing that does the job when baby is fussy!

I love this thing! If you live in a place that does not have clean (drinkable) tap water, this is marvelous.

These cards are nice for baby during the first three months, before they are able to grab things. All our kids loved looking at these pictures. I would hang them from the bouncy seat toy bar and from the freestanding toy bar.
My Brest Friend - Dark Blue Sun FlowersMy Brest Friend - Dark Blue Sun Flowers
I got the INFLATABLE version of this, and its fabulous. Its unbelievably comfortable and supportive -- would never guess its an inflatable pillow. I use it at pretty much every feeding, and its sooo nice. Has the added bonus of being totally washable (cover comes off, and of course the thing itself is plastic), which I need since I have a major spit-upper.
