![]() | Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo
Buy new: $72.80 This is our favorite item of the first year! It is very entertaining but encourages baby to exercise. It is a great way to "contain" baby while entertaining for hours- and I mean hours!!

![]() | Fisher-Price Rainforest Bouncer
Buy new: $49.88 This was a must-have item from the first day we brought her home. This is unique because it has the electronics for older babies but that can also be removed. The structure allows for parents to add a little extra bounce. I honestly don't know what we would have done without this.

![]() | Kiddopotamus SwaddleMe 100% Cotton Knit Small, Girl Print
Buy new: $11.97 We used various SwaddleMe by Kiddootamus for a large portion of my daughters first couple of months. I strongly believe this was essential to helping her sleep through the night. They keep baby warm, cuddled, and secure without causing any risk of SIDS. The small is good for babies under 14lbs and the large works well for larger babies that are still not very mobile.

![]() | BOB Revolution 12" Aluminum Wheel Stroller in Black
Buy new: $399.00 By far, an incredible value even though it seems expensive. Bob is one of the only strollers that actually has re-sale value. It is durable, strong, and easy to use. It also holds children up to 70lbs! The Bob is easy to store and rides incredibly smooth. You can also buy an adapter for infant seats. It is definitely worth the money and will last through multiple children.
