Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing -  Nature's Touch N1973Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing - Nature's Touch N1973
Buy new: $349.99
Great neutral colors. It is very cozy. The seat cover launders nicely. The cradle feature is amazing. I love the fact that this style of swing gives me the option to rock the baby side to side or front to back. It does use 4 D batteries however we just got a battery charger and some rechargeable batteries. Both my sons loved the mirrored dome of the mobile and listen to the music.

Buy new: $119.99
We have this swing also for the family room upstairs. Again, the cradle feature is great. I love the choice of rocking from side to side or front to back. (Side to side was the most popular). The music is nice and the auto off feature of the music and mobile helps to conserve batteries. It does use 4 D batteries so we bought a battery charger and rechargeable batteries.
Overnight Nimh Family Battery ChargerOvernight Nimh Family Battery Charger
Buy new: $17.89 / Used from: $10.00
This is the battery charger we have. It is great for recharging all sizes of rechargeable batteries. We bought ours specifically to charge D sized batteries for our infant swings. We bought two sets of four D batteries but three would be more convenient so there is always a charged set when you need it.
EVENH50BP2 Energizer® D Rechargeable Batteries, 2 per PackEVENH50BP2 Energizer® D Rechargeable Batteries, 2 per Pack
Buy new: $15.71 / Used from: $6.50
These are the rechargeable D batteries we use in our Fisher-Price cradle swings. Each swing takes four (4) D sized batteries (papasan & rainforest...see on list). We bought eight (8) batteries which is fine if you don't mind swapping batteries from the other swing. Otherwise, 12 batteries is more convenient so you always have a spare set charged.
Fisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care High ChairFisher-Price Rainforest Healthy Care High Chair
Buy new: $95.75
We love this high chair (different design) and has served our two soon to be three boys well. The chair has some wonderful features including a one hand releasing tray...which is great when you are trying to put a squirmy baby or toddler into the chair while trying to remove the tray ~ great seat belt w/ harness ~ wheels to move the chair ~adjustable height ~ great toys & music to entertain baby!
Fisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat - Blue/Green/GrayFisher-Price Healthy Care Deluxe Booster Seat - Blue/Green/Gray
Buy new: $29.99
This chair has also been a great addition to our family. It has been used in so many ways...camping, front yard picnics, cafeteria fundraiser spaghetti feeds, grandmas house...and more. It is very portable, has adjustable straps to attach this chair to the back and bottom of any other chair. The back support collapses down for easy storage and transport. There are two trays with a lid on top.
HALO SleepSack Wearable Blanket - Deluxe VelboaHALO SleepSack Wearable Blanket - Deluxe Velboa
After many a sleepless night, I bought this for my second son (and a spare for urps and leaky diapers). It didn't matter how you positioned him, if there was a blanket in his bassinet he was sure to pull it over his head/face (something my first son never did). I can't say there weren't other sleepless nights but none out of concern about my son pulling covers over his head while sleeping.
Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller,  IonicGraco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller, Ionic
We already owned a Graco tour deluxe stroller and loved it so it wasn't a surprise that we went with a Graco Tour Duo Stroller when our second son arrived. I have to say hands down the best thing about the Graco stroller is their one hand gravity assisted collapse. The stroller collapses onto its wheels rather than the snack tray like so many others. Many great other features as well!
Graco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System with Snugride32 in TownsendGraco Quattro Tour Deluxe Travel System with Snugride32 in Townsend
Buy new: $225.31
This was the first stroller we bought when we had our first son (different fabric). The feature I love the most about this stroller is the one hand gravity assisted collapsing mechanism. This stroller collapses flat onto its wheels not the snack tray ~ well padded, cozy seat ~ adjustable 5 point seat belt restraint ~ roomy storage basket ~ more great features!
Babe Ease Original Clean Shopper, WhimsicalBabe Ease Original Clean Shopper, Whimsical
Buy new: $31.89
Okay, you will find many shopping cart covers out there. I chose this one because it was machine washable. It seemed that all the others were not or not labeled as such. This one has worked great for two boys and still looks new. It sets into the shopping cart basket and has fabric flaps that velcro to the seat cover. It also has sewn in tethers to attach your favorite baby toys (w/ links) to.
Babe Ease Original Clean Diner, WhimsicalBabe Ease Original Clean Diner, Whimsical
Buy new: $21.93
This is the other Babe Ease product (see their shopping cart cover) that I love. I have seen some rather unsightly baby high chairs...but they all easily cover with this high chair cover. Best of all this cover is machine washable (as is the shopping cart cover) ~ bonus strap that comes with it (for storing purposes) can be used as a make-shift seat belt.
KidCo G15 White Center Gateway with Walk Through Pressure GateKidCo G15 White Center Gateway with Walk Through Pressure Gate
Buy new: Too low to display
Though you may cringe at the price, this gate is worth every penny. The best feature about this gate is you don't have to move it to get through it. Just unlock the late, lift up the gate door and walk right through. I should clarify that this gate is not permanently mounted into the door frame. It uses a pressure mounted system that doesn't leave holes, etc wherever you place it.
