Baby Gear, what do I need???
My search began at a baby consignment sale.
My adventure started in a very full parking lot. Being pregnant I suddenly had the urge to pee. Shocker! After 10 minutes of searching for a parking spot with no luck and the urge to pee growing stronger I finally saw a man walking to his car. He had a few bags and his baby in a stroller. I was worried he would take forever to load his stuff into his car. To my delight he installed babies car seat in a flash. Folded and loaded the stroller in what seemed like one smooth motion and tossed in the shopping bags all within a mater of minutes.
After seeing this phenomenon I kept wondering what kind of stroller set up he had and knew that was what I wanted! And I was determined to find it, at the baby consignment sale.
This sale was huge!
There were moms everywhere and a line of people making purchases out the door. Where do I even start??? Since I now knew the type of stroller I wanted I decided to start there. There were probably 100 strollers. In my overwhelmed state they suddenly all looked the same. I found a few that were the click connect system and played around with them to make sure I liked them. Perfect, except which one do I chose? Is this really a good price? I wonder what it’s Amazon rating is???
With all these questions running through my head I decided to step away from the strollers and do more research before I buy anything. Instead I thought it would be good to look at other sections of the sale.
My head began to spin as I saw the many things I needed to research.
What kind of playpen should we get? Will baby use a co-sleeper? Eating is important, I guess I should look at the high chairs. What kind of diaper bag should I use? How early can baby use a swing? Bumbo, what the heck is that?
