Baby registry part 2
1.Wagon - Best bang for your buck! There’s a lot of wagons out there believe it or not, but this one has really everything you need, at the right price! I personally love that this has the push feature so I can watch Reese while I’m walking. Love that the canopy is removable, so much storage inside and out, folds up easy for storage, and love the bench seating option. If you like the red color, that option is cheaper!
2. Nanit Baby Monitor - I’m sure many of you have seen this because it’s so popular! Well, it’s popular because it’s so great! It’s so easy to set up and use. I love that it mounts to the wall. Other cameras need a shelf or ledge to sit on. Usually that means you’re not able to get a full view of the crib and it needs to be far away enough so your child can’t grab it. The only downfall (this is only my preference) is that there isn’t a separate monitor. In order to see your child, you have to use the app. I don’t mind this now that Reese is older and on a schedule. But when she first started sleeping in her crib and I would watch her more closely, I wished I had a separate monitor. That way I could be on my phone while she napped and I could see her on a separate screen. That was only for a short time so I got over it.
We also have this baby monitor and love it! I wanted this one because it doesn’t need wifi and has a monitor. We have a cottage where the service is spotty so this is perfect for there. I can also sit outside with the monitor and see/hear what’s going on.
3. Toddler Tower - I didn’t put this on my registry because I thought I wouldn’t use it for years to come. I was wrong! I ended up purchasing this shortly after Reese could stand on her own. We use this over a high chair because she prefers to stand. This also promotes independence. Now she can climb in and out on her own. It’s sturdy and also adjustable so it grows with your child.
4. Doona Car Seat/ Stroller - Picking a stroller is so hard. There are so many options and they all do the same thing. I knew I wanted the Doona once I saw it in use. The wheels collapse and it pops right into the base in your car to turn into a car seat. All other strollers have separate pieces to become a stroller and I liked the ease and convenience of the Doona. When you take your child out of the car, the wheels on the Doona just pop down and it becomes a stroller. All other strollers have a separate piece to become a stroller. Otherwise you have to carry the car seat …and it’s HEAVY! It comes with a base but I would recommend getting a second base if your significant other, grandparent or care giver will be transporting your child. Linking just the car seat base here!
5. Baby Brezza - This is basically a Kerig for baby formula. With the push of a button, you have the exact amount of formula in your bottle, at the temperature your baby prefers. It makes overnight feedings quick and easy too.
6. Baby Merlin's Magic Sleepsuit - This was a game changer for sleep when we transitioned Reese from a swaddle. We only used it in the 3-6 month size because she started rolling and you can’t use it then. We have the pink, lots of color options!
7. BabyBjörn Bouncer - This was nice to have Reese sit in and be propped up. We also used this after bathtime too. We’d lay the bath towel over it, take her out of the tub, lay her on it and wrap her up. It was our little “docking station”. This folds up almost flat for storage too.
8. Baby Jumper - This was a huge hit and Reese was obsessed. She would bounce, sit and play for what seemed like hours. She also found it relaxing and would doze off in it😂
9. Umbrella Stroller - Practical stroller now that Reese is walking. Folds up easy and we also use for travel. Has storage underneath and a cup holder on the handles.
