The Expert answers:
I have this bassinet: http://www.target.com/Eddie-Bauer-Covington-Bassinet-Newport/dp/B001M0FG1U/ref=br_1_1?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&qid=1274552729&field_target_com_primary_color-bin=Brown&searchView=grid5&sr=1-1&node=16399301&searchRank=pmrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Eddie%20Bauer%20Covington%20Bassinet%20Newport&searchBinNameList=purchasing_channel,finish_types-bin,target_com_primary_color-bin,price,collection_name-bin,item_styling,target_com_brand-bin
I love it because it has storage space below.
Infant tubs are basically all the same, but here’s the one I have: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3247567
With a crib, make sure you don’t get one with a drop- down side. They were recalled about a year ago. My boyfriend’s mom bought us a beautiful Pottery Barn crib, which I love, but my daughter still sleeps in her bassinet.
We don’t have a baby swing, but I’ve heard that this is a good one: http://www.target.com/Bright-Starts-InGenuity-Portable-Sustained/dp/B0032B500O/ref=br_1_27?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&qid=1274553286&searchView=grid5&sr=1-27&node=1041926&searchRank=pmrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&searchBinNameList=purchasing_channel,target_com_category-bin,target_com_brand-bin,target_com_primary_color-bin,price
This swing is the latest and the greatest, but it’s $200….: http://www.target.com/4moms-4m-005-004-Mamaroo-Swing-Pink/dp/B002GP76KY/ref=br_1_25?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&qid=1274553286&searchView=grid5&sr=1-25&node=1041926&searchRank=pmrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&searchBinNameList=purchasing_channel,target_com_category-bin,target_com_brand-bin,target_com_primary_color-bin,price
We have the Graco Travel System stroller that comes with a matching car seat: http://www.target.com/Graco-Alano-Travel-System-Wonders/dp/B001EY883W/ref=br_1_3?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&qid=1274553451&searchView=grid5&sr=1-3&node=3579971&searchRank=pmrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Graco%20Alano%20Travel%20System%20Wonders&searchBinNameList=purchasing_channel,style_name,target_com_brand-bin,target_com_primary_color-bin,price
Hope this helped!
Mandy asks…
Good store to buy cheap cribs/baby clothes/strollers?
I found this stroller that I am IN LOVE WITH at babies-r-us. Its a stroller and a car seat combined. It’s freaking amazing. It’s also $170! So I would love to know of anywhere that offers cheap/discount prices on good quality, attractive baby stuff? Links, please? I’ve look at walmarts website and targets.
I’m only 8 weeks pregnant. But I want to have it all when baby comes.
Thanks.

Sharon asks…
Where are good places to buy cheap baby items (crib/stroller/carseats/etc)?
Trying to save some money and the environment too, so I am going to consignment shops and thrift stores for clothes and such, but I would like to buy the crib/carseat and a few things brand new. Any suggestions? I’ve been to Target and walmart. Can anyone think of other places to go?
The Expert answers:
Im getting a new crib and car seat and nursery set new from wal mart. Stroller i found used along with the other stuff he needed. Oh! And a few baby supplies (lotions, bottles, breastfeeding things etc.) will also be new.
Kmart also has low prices and cute items. Also, maybe try Craigslist.com? Thats where I found most of my things.
Donald asks…
MIL/Baby items/Crib/Ranting?
Months ago my mother in law said – ‘Don’t buy anything, I want to buy everything for the baby‘. Which at the time, I thought, AWESOME. We don’t have to worry about buying our baby the big items he will need.
Now – I am due in 7 weeks. She hasn’t bought any of these ‘big’ items.
I have bought a stroller – nothing special – I got it on clearance – $40 – something we can use next summer – when he won’t need to be in the carrier.
I bought a swing – I love this swing – it turns into a toddler chair. I love the print as well – something you can only buy at Target (or so I have heard). I got this for $10 – regularly $100 – I used gift cards.
Also last night – I found a crib at Target on clearance for $80. I couldn’t turn it down. I mean come one $80!!
Anyway – being she said she wanted to buy everything – am I stepping on toes here? Should I not be buying stuff?
She is on vaction out of the country until early Sept. I am due end of Sept.
Plus she only wants to buy stuff at Walmart – she works there – gets a discount. And to be honest…. the selection at our Walmart is pretty lame.
Again – Am I being rude buying things? I am in the nesting stage and I really want to be ready for my little guy.
Also – and other ‘big’ items I can tell her to get us?
I know we will need a
crib mattress
baby monitor
high chair (for down the road)
travel system stroller
Also – while I am here do you like the crib and swing I got?

Like I said I got the crib for $80.
http://www.target.com/Fisher-Price-Swing-Rocker-Woodland-Animals/dp/B001HTPMP6/qid=1250196963/ref=br_1_4/182-0143485-8612936?ie=UTF8&node=1041926&frombrowse=1&rh=&page=1
I ended up getting the swing for $10.
Sorry – if you actually read this thanks. I know it was random babbling and random questions!
The Expert answers:
Just let her know what you need and that you were concerned about getting things set-up early, just-in-case, so you got some things while they were on sale.
