BABY GEAR
|
For baby equipment recalls, find a website that you trust to keep you in the know on safety issues and subscribe to their newsletters if they have one. Even then, don't depend on someone else's opinion on whether or not a particular piece of baby equipment is safe for use in the nursery. If you see that a product is potentially dangerous remove it immediately and call the manufacturer with your concerns. Don't take chances and wait for an official recall; better safe than sorry.
The landscape is constantly evolving in the world of baby items pushed at us in the media. What a chore it is to take care of baby safety concerns and to come up with ideas on the use of all the gear manufactured for the market today. Not to mention that and the stuff for babies can be expensive and it's kind of hard to find free baby stuff! Consumer product reviews help us sort out the good from bad and the safe from the potentially dangerous baby items for sale.
We wouldn't dream of socking baby in the car to run to the store without a car seat or letting our babies swim outdoors at the beach in the buff without a proper baby swimsuit? No way! There is appropriate baby gear that must be in place well before any activity involving a child. Some will actually make your trip go smoother and some frankly are just a pain to deal with. How do we know which items are worth spending our cold hard cash for? Is an indoor play yard necessary? Don't believe everything the advertisers throw at you. Talk to other parents, read consumer reports and reviews online and on the very rare occasion jump in and try the gear out yourself. Baby product reviews are such a valuable problem solver for parents!
What exactly is baby gear? Baby gear is a very general term to describe the hundreds of baby items for sale and advertised as able to get us through the first few years of child rearing with ease and safety. Not a bad thing at all! There are many different categories of baby gear and we'll help you to sort through them and find them at a discount!
BABY TRAVEL GEAR
Some of the larger ticket items would be baby travel gear such as baby strollers, baby backpack carriers and baby car seats. There's a huge market for used baby gear. With jogging strollers and carseats ranging in price from $50 to $500 there's a need to do careful research not only into any item's performance but into possible resale values. Then again, if you don't travel often why not rent your baby equipment once you reach your destination? Don't discount the use of a baby leash if you are travelling with more than one toddler!
BABY GEAR FOR CAMPING and BABY GEAR FOR HIKING
GEAR FOR BABY'S DAY TO DAY CARE
More moderately priced offerings would include loads of baby bottle maintenance equipment that you may never have dreamed existed, such as baby bottle holders, baby bottle sterilizers, and portable baby bottle warmers. Whoa! Baby bottles alone involve a world of gear!
I have special areas on this site for most of the big-ticket items. This section will be used as a catch all for the stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere like baby swim gear, baby camping gear, baby monitors and even baby footprint kits.
With a little luck and research we may be able to determine what's hip, cool and worth getting for our babies.
