DW and I are expecting our first in November! Woo-hoo!
We have been looking into baby furniture and it just seems like there is a ton of stuff that we need to purchase:
1. Stroller + Car seat. We are thinking about buying one of the lighter travel systems. $250.
2. Crib. One of our friends has offered to give us their 6-yr. old crib but apparently the consensus is that newer cribs are safer, so we're looking at cribs. $300, plus $100 for the mattress.
3. Portable pack-n-play crib that we can use at grandparents house when they are watching. $100.
4. Glider chair for sitting in while feeding the baby. $400.
5. Changing Table with storage that matches the crib. $150.
So it looks like we'll be spending about $1500 on getting setup for the baby, which didn't seem too bad. Any thoughts on any of these items?
I've been reading websites about these different items till my eyes started bleeding and there seems to be so many choices!
Thanks.
