Baby Gear Advice

Hi! I was wondering if you could give me advice on the newest baby gear. I gave most of my baby gear away 6 months ago(after my 4th child). Now surprise...I am expecting one more. CRAZY!!! I was wondering about baby slings,stollers,and car seats. I need anything that is going to make my crazy life easier. I will have 5 children under 8. I had every peg perego product but was wondering if something was better. Is the bugaboo worth getting? I currently have a combi,a single peg, a double peg and a double mcclaren. I loved...

How Do You Choose the Right Stroller/car Seat?

My husband and I have been looking at a few different brands of travel system strollers, and just seem to get more frustrated the more we look. Is a travel system really worth it? Do the car seats that come with a travel system have a high safety rating? We like the idea of the easy to use, one handed fold up stroller. And for me, the lighter the weight of all the equipment, the less of a strain it will be to handle. And we also like the more ergonomic handles on the car seats like Evenflo and Babytrend make. We also looked at the more...

Looking for an Infant Car Seat Cover for Graco Safeseat

I have a Graco Safeseat that is a little over 2 years old. We are expecting our 2nd child in November and would like to purchase a cover. Has anyone purchased one and how do they work? Are they safe to use? We had a lot of problems with our canopy popping off the side constantly...Would this solve that problem?

Chicco KeyFit 30 vs Graco SafeSeat or SnugRide32

I am exhausted from researching travel systems! any input on these 2 systems would be appreciated! I am really having a tough time making a decision. They seem quite similar, although there is about a $70 price diff. (chicco more expensive). I like one of the KeyFit patterns better than the available Graco patterns, but what really makes up the price diff? Also, I can't find the specs on the Chicco as to how much the car seat & stroller weigh. Any other things to consider? Sorry, I know there's so much info. out there - I've waded through...

10 Wk Old Unhappy in Car Seat

We have a Graco Snugride car seat, and my 10 wk old daughter cries uncontrollably when in it. She screams, cries, tearing, red faced, fist shaking, to the point of almost gagging... it is just awful. I dread long car rides, pull over every 5-10 minutes. She can be perfectly happy before getting in the seat, and still has this reaction. My son was in the same seat and was fine. We have changed the angle by adding padding underneath the base, didn't help. We are going to try another seat. My question is, has anyone had this experience?...

Recommendations About Various Baby Gear Products

I'm looking for opinions about best strollers, carriers, car seats. I am pretty much clueless. Light weight seems good to me, but I don't even know if that's an issue these days. I want a jogging stroller & a "regular stroller." What do I look for in a car seat, etc?? Any suggestions/recommendations/opinions are welcome.

Car Seat Placement

Hi Mamas- Hoping for your wisdom on this! I currently have a 3.5 year old, a 2 year old and a newborn-- therefore 3 kids in carseats. I have 2 Britax Marathons and a Graco Safeseat (now called Snugride 35-- the bigger Snugride) and drive a midsized SUV (Honda Pilot). I'm struggling to figure out the best way to arrange the carseats. It's hard to get to the 3rd row because I cant fold down the 2nd row with seats in the way, so I climb thru the back. This can't be the best way!?! What arrangement has worked for you??
