Baby products? Questions for PT skin kid moms.

my two were so close together I had to get a double stroller, talk about big!

Ok, here is another question:
I went to Babies R Us yesterday to look at HIGH CHAIRS.....
They all looked the same to me. The prices varied from 65 to 200 dollars.
What high chairs did you moms get and was it worth the money?
I'd like to get something foldable.
I saw a pretty orange one (99 dollars - chicco) and put it on my registry but have no idea if it's any good.

Honestly, I would not recommend our high chair. It is pretty and has held up well, but it isn't too practical. It is a wooden chair, made by a company called Rochelle. If I had to get another one now, I would probably go with either an Eddie Bauer wooden one or a Peg Perego. Our church has inherited one each of those two, and they are really good quality high chairs.

Peg Perego...hands down. I bought two off of ebay, well worth it, shipping and all.

Beenies, you won't need a high chair until the baby is about 5 months, maybe even longer, if you use a swing..so, no rush. Who knows, maybe someone will have one you can use at that time?

Anyone ever used the Bella Band? I plan to get at least one band and the everywear pant (part of the essentials collection). My girlfriend used the band and never bought maternity pants!

All I will say for a high chair is get one with wheels and a removable dishwasher safe tray! One that leans back is a nice feature too.

I know.... I'm just being paranoid, bored and figure I should be at least researching products in the meantime.

I don't think there's any harm in being prepared early! I had a goal of getting everything ready before Jan 1st (because I worked at a school and had 2 weeks off for winter break). I'm glad I did now because I was just put on bedrest last week (and could potentially be on for the rest of my pregnancy), which means I won't be doing much shopping unless it's online or I send out my husband to do it for me. Up until a few weeks ago, my pregnancy was easy and uncomplicated, so you never know (and baby and I are fine with rest, and should be able to go full term).

I know baby won't be able to use this for a couple years, but I love the look of a rocking "horse" in a nursery. It's expensive, but beautiful.

I like the stuffed plush rockers, although I like the traditional ones, too.

Very cool! Actually, even though we knew it was impractical one of the first things my husband and I bought was a stuffed snow leopard rocker for the baby...it was just way too cute and I love snow leopards!

I truly did not mean to come across as a wet blanket with purchases made earlier than needed! I was just mentioning that you have (usually) some time to get these items, and sometimes the arrival of the baby changes your mind about certain things, and maybe someone would gift it to you.

I know how exciting and fun it is to buy for the new baby. I am still buying and he is 4!

Sorry if I was acting like a know it all. I didn't mean it like that.
