Buy new: $31.99
despite some negative reviews i found this tummy time mat/play gym to be great. washes well, good price and entertaining for my son. the other mats/gyms were way too expensive! i am not paying $50-$90!!!
Philips Avent Newborn Starter SetPhilips Avent Newborn Starter Set
Buy new: $49.99
its the ONLY bottle to use. since my son has reflux our doctor and a lactation consultant told me the same thing: it has the slowest flowing nipple therefore it reduces air that causes gas. enough said.
DEX Products Baby Wipes WarmerDEX Products Baby Wipes Warmer
great warmer! a must! using warm wipes in the middle night will prevent your baby from waking up screaming and then having to coax him/her back to sleep. that is always fun! the light is useless.
Fisher-Price Newborn-To-Toddler RockerFisher-Price Newborn-To-Toddler Rocker
Buy new: $39.00
my daughter had almost the exact same one and now my son has one. great seat! for a newborn or for any baby 0-6 months i would suggest buying a body/head support cushion because they will slump down to one side if not.

i had an electric pump in style with my first, a rented a medela from the hospital with my second and also a harmony for a 'just in case' issue. i ended up using the harmony because it works so well, i am not tied to an outlet and it cleans up so easy. its also the cheaper way to go!

Summer Infant Rite-Temp Baby Bath TubSummer Infant Rite-Temp Baby Bath Tub

Radio Flyer 2700 Pathfinder Wagon, RedRadio Flyer 2700 Pathfinder Wagon, Red
Buy new: $86.04
we bought this when our first born was 3 and used it all the time. i would load her in with all her sand toys and walk to the park; walked to the grocery store and loaded it with groceries; recently my husband was using it to transport dirt in our yard and i just hosed it off when he was done. has two seats w/seat belts and seats flip up and down so you can use it as a flat bed wagon.
Baby Trend Diaper ChampBaby Trend Diaper Champ
i prefer the diaper champ to the genie because you dont have to buy special bags for it. i have found the glad force flex work the best and for real stinkers i wrap the diaper in a plastic grocery bag and double it up before dropping it in.

The Neat Sheet Ground Cover, Family Size, Single RollThe Neat Sheet Ground Cover, Family Size, Single Roll

Fisher-Price Easy Clean High Chair - Tan PlaidFisher-Price Easy Clean High Chair - Tan Plaid
i had this chair with my first and thought it was great! i prefer the space saver chair but if you have the room for a high chair go for this one. the tray was small enough that it fit in my dishwasher, it cleans up really easy and its sturdy enough that my daughter would climb in and out of it no problem. and it has wheels!

the compass booster seat (B500) fits children 30-100 lbs who are 38" to 57" tall.... about 3-10 yrs old according to their website; folds for easy airplane traveling; cleans well; has 2 cup holders. our doctor recommended this seat when our first born was 3.5 years old. great recommendation!

Buy new: $6.98 / Used from: $2.29
we had a few of the baby einstein videos but mozart was by far my daughters favorite. she started watching them at about 2 months and she just loved it! i would put her in her little saucer bouncer thing and she would just watch from start to finish. that would buy me enough time to take a shower! and shave!
