 | Tiny Love Gymini Super Deluxe - Lights&Music
Buy new: $46.94 So far Zoë LOVES the hanging toys, the mirror, and the parts of the mat that she can grab (ie: elephant ear, butterfly wing). She seems to enjoy this more as a 4 month old than she did when I bought it at about 2 months.
|
 | EvenFlo SmartSteps Exersaucer Entertainer
Zoë LOVES this! All of the buttons she can push to make sounds and things she can touch that move keep her entertained for a VERY long time. I love the fact that she can spin herself around in the seat to check out all of the toys.
|
 | Boppy Rock In Comfort Travel Swing
Buy new: $69.99 I believe babies will love any swing. We like this one because it is compact and folds up easily for traveling or storage.
|
 | Fisher-Price Infant-To-Toddler Rocker in Blue/Red
We use this probably more than any other piece of baby gear (other than bottles and diapers). Zoë likes to bat at the toys and even dozes off in it some days.
|
 | Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat - Blue/Green/Gray
Buy new: $29.99 Great for traveling. Zoë likes to just sit in it and play as well.
|
 | Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel Lining
Buy new: $105.00 I paid $92 for my Ergo Zoë falls asleep within minutes of being carried in this. We started using it at about 5 months. Very comfortable for Zoë and mommy and daddy.
|
 | Graco Safe Seat Infant Car Seat, Quinn
Our baby was 21 1/2 inches when born and 28 inches at 4 1/2 months old. I'm soooo happy we have this larger carseat for her. It's heavy BUT she fits in it very well and we can use it longer. We have the Legacy pattern.
|
 | Graco SnugRider Infant Car Seat Stroller Frame
Buy new: $58.50 A must have in my opinion. Fits Snugride and Safeseat carseats by Graco. Forget about getting the bulky travel systems. Wonderful for trips to the mall or grocery store.
|
 | Britax Marathon Convertible Car Seat Onyx
Buy new: $279.99 Now that Zoë's getting bigger we'll be putting her in this convertible carseat.
|
 | Baby Jogger City Classic Single Stroller - Red/Silver
Buy new: $399.99 If you're tall like my husband and I are, this is the stroller for you! We do not end up kicking it when we're walking and it rides smoother than any car I've been in! We're still using it with the car seat adapter (sold seperately) until Zoë can sit up on her own (very soon). Great for walks and jogs. The weight limit (60 pounds) will accomodate a child for years!
|
 | Graco Swept Frame Pack 'n Play Portable Playard with Bassinet & Changing Table in Graham
Excellent to have for naps. We have the Family Tree pattern. Honestly, the only part of this we've used so far (7 months) is the bassinet and the storage areas. We've NEVER used the changing table part or the vibration gadget. You can get one for less money without the doo-dads. At 7 months we disassembled the playard and keep it packed up since it does take up alot of room.
|
 | North States Superyard XT Gate Play Yard
Buy new: $59.00 We started using this at 7 months since we have 2 dogs and Zoë's starting to get around.
|
 | Infantino Shop & Dine Deluxe Savvy Seat - Olive Mod
We began using this at 7 months. So far any time I've had Zoë in a shopping cart with me at the store she's fallen asleep. She just gets cozy in this seat cover and dozes off. The colors are muted in the picture. The light blue is more of a purple and the green is more of a lime.
|
 | Fisher-Price Private Connection Monitor with Dual Receivers - White and Grey
Buy new: $71.97 Very good reception. I actually have to keep the volume down really low so I don't hear too much (ie: clock ticking, baby breathing very deeply).
|
 | Prince Lionheart Ultimate Wipes Warmer
Buy new: $19.25 Not a "must have" but it's a nice item to have, especially if you have to change a diaper in the middle of the night.
|
 | Ameda Purely Yours Carry All Breast Pump Traveler Backpack
Buy new: $194.99 Lifesaver since I wasn't producing enough milk for Zoë. 5 months later, I'm still using it everyday to give her breastmilk. It has a sealed FDA approved system which no other pump on the market has.
|
 | Dr. Brown's 3-pack 8-ounce Standard Bottles
Buy new: $19.95 As soon as we switched to the Dr. Brown bottles, Zoë had less gas. I don't think any bottle system will eliminate gas but these definitely reduced it. I recently bought some of the BPA-free polypropylene types as well.
|
 | Boppy Bare Naked Expandable Miracle Middle Pillow
Buy new: $21.33 I LOVE MY BOPPY! I use it for feeding Zoë and for her to sit in and have tummy time on. I have 2 covers for it so I can wash one and have another to use.
|
 | Leachco Safer Bather - Infant Bath Pad - Blue Fish
Buy new: $19.59 We used this for counter top sponge baths for 4 months and now use it in the bath tub. Zoë seems to be comfortable on it since it is cushiony. It dries VERY quickly and can be machine washed on delicate. Doesn't get cold like the plastic tubs.
|
 | Canon Powershot A520 4MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom
Buy new: $349.95 / Used from: $69.99 I don't care what kind of camera you have, a camera is a necessity with a baby! We have sooo many pictures of Zoë and her many expressions. This is the camera I happen to use.
|
 | The Baby Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Trouble-Shooting Tips, and Advice on First-Year Maintenance by Louis Borgenicht
Buy used from: $1.75 I'm not into all the baby books BUT this book is EXCELLENT, especially for Dad. My husband's friend sent this to him and he loves it. Very practical information in layman's terms and quite humorous.
|
 | Munchkin Car Bottle Warmer
Buy new: $12.21 We have this for our car to heat up Zoë's bottles if we're on the road. It takes 5-8 minutes to warm but it serves the purpose.
