The top of my dumb and dumber list of purchases was one of those fancy smancy double jogging strollers. It was very nice, but we used it a total of maybe...20 times in 2 years. A sad, sad tale. We would have been better off buying a used stroller through Craig's list! <BR/><BR/>Oh, I HEAR you on the cloth seat cover for a highchair. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? I ended up tossing the cloth cover in the closet and having my GIRL sit on the hard plastic seat with no cover. Hey, she had a full diaper most of the time anyway...extra padding.JCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582581376724478366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095061043716694119.post-87438131336012936112007-10-21T08:37:00.000-06:002007-10-21T08:37:00.000-06:00If you are buying an infant car seat with a base, ...If you are buying an infant car seat with a base, if at all possible fit the base into your car before assembling the rest. All the easier to return it if you need to.<BR/><BR/><BR/> The base has a spot to thread the seat belt through, that holds it securely into your vehicle. But on some vehicles the snap and release part of the seatbelt (you know, the latch part with the red button on it?), is longer. If so, the buckle comes up into the threading area and then the car seat cannot clip into it's base. VERY annoying and really unsafe, as the alternative is to leave it loose!! Not gonna happen.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I don't know if that was understandable at all. I set my clock wrong after the last power outage yesterday and have been up for way too long already!!<BR/><BR/>Also, Don't buy sippy cups with the hard 'no drip valve'. They are impossible to clean. All it takes is one time forgetting it in the car, or finding it in the toy box and it's history. Waste of money.<BR/><BR/>Must keep thinking on it.

Great suggestion...Thanks so much for the heads up! Great suggestions!<BR/><BR/>I'm ok for the double stroller. 1 baby = single stroller unless mommy descides she needs to carry more stuff than a pack-mule to the mall. I-will-learn-to-downsize...I hope!<BR/><BR/>High chair: An amazing and generous friend is passing hers down to me. I saw it last week and am very thankful that it's not a cloth seat. Plastic...yeah!<BR/><BR/>Booster seat: I'll keep your recommendations in mind in the future. First order of business..sometime next year is a full size carseat. Mommy has expensive taste when it comes to this so I'm hoping a large group of people may want to go together and purchase a group gift. If not, will have to downsize my wishes.<BR/><BR/>Snugli? Check! Same generous friend has given me her Baby Bjorn. I hope to carry Hannah in it for a good amount of time. It's great for bonding. I also have a baby sling on my wish list for same reason as snugli.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the tips. Looking forward to reading what others write.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06120007274654255204noreply@blogger.com
