I think my daughter will love something like this but what are the main differences between the two?? Why do you like one over the other??

Looking for any recommendations for big items in the nursery (mainly crib, rocker, dresser)! What was worth the splurge or what budget friendly options did you love??

looking for specific items! Please share brands, links, anything!!!!

As the title says, just looking for different perspectives on these brands :)

My baby boy is growing out of his infant car seat much quicker than i anticipated and I’m looking to find the best convertible car seat so I only ever need to buy one more. I’m currently using the Nuna Pipa RX and it’s worked great for us. Finding the right stroller/car seat was definitely the most daunting part of preparing for my baby so I’d love some advice from experienced moms! He’s almost 4 months and 20lbs so he’s a pretty big boy. I’d love to hear anyone’s thoughts!

We have a used uppababy minu with the from birth kit, but baby is almost too long for the from birth attachment already! We have the other seat, but I'm not ready to have her not facing me...!

I've been looking at other parent-facing strollers but they seem bulky. We like the minu because it fits in my husband's tiny trunk and we are also tight on space at home.

Any suggestions? Thanks all!!

Hi,
I am a FTM due in January! My husband and I are having a hard time deciding on a travel system. Our main must haves are a good safety rating, decently lightweight, and FR free. We don’t really live near anywhere that carries all of these systems in one spot, so we are having to resort to finding what we can in person and online reviews for the others to help us decide. Our list includes:
- Britax Willow Brook S
- Chicco Corso Primo
- A system that includes Nuna pipa rx
- A system that includes Uppababy aria v2
If you have any experience with any of these systems, please share them!
Thank you!

Hi! A have a very specific question that hours of googling can’t seem to answer.

I have a 1.5 y/o with low tone and we need a rotating car seat for our second vehicle. We already have the Cybex Callisto G as our primary. It’s great but ideally I’d like to avoid the investment for our second vehicle, which is an SUV. Dad drops bebe off in the am and I pick up in the afternoon so we need two car seats that turn because the stationary I’m using now in my vehicle has become untenable as our boy has grown.

I’m considering either the Chicco 360 or the Evenflo Gold Extend 360. The Chicco can be deeply discounted at Target with a few promotions rn but a few reviews made me a little leery of how easy it would be to turn it toward me while holding my ever growing child, who is sometimes as limp as a rag doll. Positioning for him is important (for instance he’s always been sooo uncomfortable in his doona). His cybex is great, but he’s still uncomfortable at times.

Anyone have a callisto and either the Chicco 360 or Evenflo 360? Or anyone with a low tone baby/toddler who loves their car seat?

I have an angle care newborn bath (0-6mo) setup that was given to me as a hand me down. It’s been working great, but since my 4mo baby started rolling and he gets squirmy when in the bath bed thing.

Do you recommend buying those bath chairs? Its recommended 6-12 mo. Or is there something else that people are using?

Also any bath toys you like bc he’s starting to like kicking his feet/legs in the water and I’d like to have toys to help explore more.

We are expecting a baby in December in trying to decide what car seat/stroller combo to get. We live in a rural setting…. dirt/gravel road without any sidewalks nearby. In the winter our roads will be snowy/icy/slushy all winter. So I’m not anticipating stroller walks will be happening until spring summer and we will rely on using a carrier this winter.

I’m leaning towards the Doona because I think our primary stroller use will be running errands and travel, at least until the spring/summer. I realize then we will need to get something different if we want to walk with a stroller.

Any advice from parents who have winter babies in a similar situation? What did you do to start?

We are pretty set on getting the UppaBaby Cruz, but are torn between getting the V2 to save money (either new or used) or splurging for a new V3. Are there any difference that make splurging worth it?
