 | Kidco PeaPod Plus Indoor/Outdoor Travel Bed - Red
Buy new: $84.95 We have the regular Peapod also, but the Plus is bigger and can be used longer. No more taking that heavy Pack and Play on trips! We now travel with the regular one for the baby and the Plus for the preschooler. The only possible downside to the Plus is that a toddler can unzip it from the inside.
|

Buy new: $29.90 It really is a Miracle! She slept through the night within a week of getting it. Our little Houdini could not escape, and we got to sleep. Worth the price!
|
 | Fisher-Price Healthy Care Booster Seat - Yellow & Orange
Buy new: $19.99 Better than a highchair- more versatile, takes up no space, and easy to clean. Don't bother with the one that has 2 trays since your baby will learn to rip it off right away.

Buy new: $349.99 A great swing if you have the space- I don't have this one, but everyone I know who does says their baby loves it.
|
 | Fisher-Price Infant-To-Toddler Rocker - Blue/Green
Buy new: $33.70 Not quite a bouncer, but similar and more versatile. Great for a newborn and also a toddler. We only put this away when we wanted our 2 year old to forget that it had been hers.
|
 | Lamaze Freddie the Firefly
Buy new: $11.49 All the Lamaze toys are great- we have a few and they are all cute. favorites are the doll and the dog.

|
 | Soothies by Lansinoh Gel Pads, 1 Pair
Buy new: $20.88 These are the best thing ever when nursing! I had 2 sets and alternated them, keeping one set in the refrigerator. Much better than lanolin (which you cannot use when using these)and great for preventing and healing cracks.

|
 | BreathableBaby Breathable Safer Bumper, Fits All Cribs â White
Buy new: $22.83 Traditional bumpers are an entrapment hazard. This was great for keeping little legs from getting stuck in the crib rails. A great bonus is that it doesn't ahve to be removed to change the sheet on the mattress.
|
 | Waterproof, Quilted Fitted Crib Pad
Buy new: $6.99 Good to have 2 waterproof covers.
|
 | Kids Line Jersey Knit Fitted Crib Sheet - Lilac
I prefer knit sheets for the crib since they are easier to get on and off. A total of three sheets is really all that you need. The "crib set" is a waste since most of the stuff isn't safe to keep in the crib anyway. To dress things up, add a separate dust ruffle.
|

Buy new: $194.99 Good to have a mobile to mesmerize the non-sleeping baby.

|
 | Graco Pack 'n Play Playard with Bassinet & Changer in Bancroft 2008
A Pack and Play is useful to have- baby can sleep in the bassinet attachment to start out, you can use it as a playpen later on. We have used ours constantly for almost 3 years so far. Get one with the elevated changer if you think you will use it as a secondary changing station- like in a 2 story house.
|
 | Coverplay Play Yard Fitted Sheet - Polka Dot
Buy new: $14.99 Get 2 sheets for the Pack and Play- I like the flannel ones by Kushies (hard to find) or a knit one like this.
|

Buy new: $7.99 use something like this in a Pack and Play or Peapod to protect the mattress.
|
 | Wrap N Wear Baby Carrier - Solid
Buy new: $50.22 This is a terrific carrier for a newborn or small baby- it holds them securely and it is comfortable to wear. Easier than the Moby since it isn't stretchy, it is also cooler since it is a nice gauze-like fabric. Comes with a handy dvd that shows how to tie it.

|
 | Britax Roundabout Convertible Car Seat, Maze
Buy new: $163.17 Sure, the Marathon will last longer. We have one of those too. But the Roundabout is great for rearfacing in a smaller car. If you plan on more than one kid, it is worth getting this carseat plus a Marathon later on.
