would it be okay if I only bought these baby items?

Infant Car seat
Stroller
Bouncer
Graco Travelite Bassinet (cheaper than a crib)
Bath sling

are those basic necessary items?
I will get the highchair later on when she gets older :)
I’m not co-sleeping

she will sleep in the playpen, my younger sisters never had a crib and slept in a playpen

    What tandem/double stroller to get for a toddler and newborn?

    I have a 2 year old and am expecting baby #2 in July. I don’t know much about double strollers, I know there are the side by side ones and the tandem where there is one seat behind the other. What would you suggest for the ages of my children? I am looking for something that isn’t too expensive. Also, I have heard that some strollers only take baby car seat carriers of the same make (ie Graco) I have an Evenflo infant car seat so I need something that would hold that.

      How do you transport a stage two or convertible baby car seat?

      My baby is soon to outgrow his infant car seat – we have the Graco Snugride. I would like a convertible or stage two car seat for him, but how do I transport it around? I don’t have a car to leave it in, I only use it in cabs or hire cars, so need to be able to take it with me (and him and all our stuff). What do people do?

        how much to spend on infant car seat?

        hi,
        we are having twin babies this coming summer and I am looking at different car seats. I just learned that they will need an infant car seat and a car seat for when they are more than 30 lbs or so.

        I have been looking on amazon for ones that have the best ratings etc…

        is this a normal range?

        249.99 for one infant car seat …… that will be about 0 for the twins

        http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Infant-SafeSeat-Step-Nectar/dp/B0012IUU3Q/ref=sr_1_109?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1295284795&sr=1-109

        179.99 for one older baby car seat…..that will be about 0 for the twins.

        http://www.amazon.com/Graco-Nautilus-Car-Seat-Dori/dp/B002GWVDLU/ref=sr_1_178?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1295284068&sr=1-178

        are we really looking to spend over 0 on just car gear :( None of our friends have small babies who are ready to give away theirs. And since this is our first time as parents, I’m sure you can imagine we want to be really safe.
        But I just want to make sure this is a normal price range.

        any suggestions for buying gear for twin babies?

        thank you

          What Car Seat should I buy?

          Graco? Evenflo? Baby Trend? There are way too many options. I was leaning toward a Graco however there are different sizes. One fits an infant up to 22 lbs while another fits one up to 32 lbs? Will you really be carrying a baby that big around in a car seat? I would think it would just make for a bulky infant car seat? How much money should I spend? Around or around 9? Help!

            Progress in baby car seats?

            Ok, so we have purchased a newborn car seat but had a few question:

            *When will he/she grow out of the newborn car seat? It’s the average infant seat?
            Like this:http://graco-snugride-infant-car-seat.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/graco-snugride-32-infant-car-seat-zurich.jpg

            *What is a good seat for a baby that has just grown out of it’s first?

            *When are regular kid’s car seats okay? (Something like this: http://www.thetoptensite.com/images/car-seat-graco.jpg)

            *When is a booster seat okay?

            *When can they just sit in the car with no extra seat?

            Any other tips?

            Thanks!

              Graco Snugride infant car seats?

              I’ve been looking online for an infant car seat, and I would really like to get a Graco Snugride car seat. I chose one on Albeebaby.com., that is 127 dollars before shipping and tax. Last night at walmart, we decided to look at the car seats, and they had a Graco Snugride winnie the pooh design. It was 89 dollars before tax. The problem is, the material was so thin, you could see the plastic part of the car seat through it, and I stuck my hand underneath the material, and there was nothing, no padding or anything. It was like a sheet laid over plastic. Doesn’t seem to comfortable to me. But on Albee baby, the Milan style Graco Snugride says that it comes with energy absorbing foam, and gracopedic foam for Luxurious comfort. What do you think? Does it have more underneath than the model at walmart, or are they just saying that. The car seat at walmart had literally nothing underneath it, and had 2 styrafoam pads next to where the head rests, and the rest of the car seat was plastic. I don’t want to pay 127 dollars online, if its going to be as cheap as the one at walmart. Anyone have the carseat from walmart, or another graco snugride, that you can tell me what’s underneath the car seat cover? Thanks for your help.

              I am so excited about my baby boy!!…Car seats?

              I just can’t wait to meet him. I am trying to decide what Graco Snugride infant car seat I like for him. I have a snugride already but in pink so I got suggestions from a few stating I could order the cover and canopy I like at gracobaby.com as a replacement part and then put in on mine. So that is what I am doing.

              So the question here is: What Graco Snugride (not Snugride 32) infant car seat do you like?
              nothing wrong with them I just need some ideas of the regular snugride ones that people like (the pattern) so I can get one to fit the snugride I have already.

              Carrying your baby in a car seat?

              At what age do people stop carrying babies around in infant car seats? My baby is 7 1/2 months and I still carry her to the car while she’s in her infant car seat. Once I get to my destination, I just click her carseat into the stroller (we’ve been using the Graco SnugRider stroller frame) . This was easy when she was a newborn but now she’s getting heavy (18 pounds!) and my biceps just can’t keep up with her….

              Is it time to leave the carseat in the car, and transfer my baby to her new, "big-girl" stroller when we reach our destination? What do you do?
