Diaper Dekor Plus Disposable SystemDiaper Dekor Plus Disposable System
Buy new: $39.99
Not perfect, and maybe not for everyone's needs, but it works well for us.
Halo SleepSack Wearable Blanket - CreamHalo SleepSack Wearable Blanket - Cream
Buy new: $24.99
Great once your child is past the swaddling stage. The wearable blanket won't come off (so they get cold) or get in the way of breathing. And for older children it discourages climbing!

Worked very well for us, though of course everyone's needs will vary.
BABYBJÖRN Baby Sitter 1-2-3 City BlueBABYBJÖRN Baby Sitter 1-2-3 City Blue
Like everyone else, the price really made me wonder. As all the reviews say - it's worth it. Baby will be much happier than in a regular bouncy chair. It's bigger than those, but then again it's designed to allow a toddler to use it too.
BABYBJÖRN Soft Bib 2 Pack - Red/BlueBABYBJÖRN Soft Bib 2 Pack - Red/Blue
Buy new: $17.95
These are a firm, rubber plastic so the pocket stays open and catches all the drops and drips. There's nothing soft about these, though, so once baby gets a little bigger and starts to really use a tray, they don't fit well between the tray and the child. Also, the neck is a little small. Very useful for the first several months after starting on food, though.
Bumkins Waterproof SuperBib 3-Pack - Boy Elements PrintsBumkins Waterproof SuperBib 3-Pack - Boy Elements Prints
Buy new: $18.95
These work really well - the neck has more room than many, the pocket actually catches food, flexible fabric means no uncomfortable fit, very compact and easy to pack, and it's easy to wash.
Fisher-Price Space Saver High Chair - TanFisher-Price Space Saver High Chair - Tan
Buy new: $53.43
Enough adjustments to be useful from an early age well into toddlerhood and maybe even longer.
DeLonghi HHP1500 Mica Panel Heater, BlackDeLonghi HHP1500 Mica Panel Heater, Black
Buy new: $88.75
A very quiet heater. It's not terribly hot to the touch if you keep it on the low setting. It's designed to be on coasters, or wall mounted if you wish.

Little Quack (Classic Board Books)Little Quack (Classic Board Books) by Lauren Thompson
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $0.01
The board book version of this book was something we've read hundreds of times. It seems to have wide appeal to children, partly because small children seem to identify with the story and partly because you can add sound effects.
Little Bear - Rainy Day TalesLittle Bear - Rainy Day Tales

The favorite DVD.
