This past year I have learned many things including, a stroller is not just a stroller, and it really does matter what baby carrier you use. When I traveled to Boston with my 8 week old (almost a year ago) I didn't think twice about bringing our stroller. And then we attempted to fit it in the mid sized rental car...and I realized it was GINORMOUS. I now realize it was a mistake to buy the Graco stroller that came with a carseat (great deal, if you never have to put it in a car). I much prefer the so called "umbrella stroller" by Chico. Also Mommy hooks are a must for any bags. I LOVE my Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag. We decided to go with a "space saver" high chair which is great for our small eating space. When Easton was a teeny tiny baby I carried him all the time in a Maya Wrap, it was perfect! I have the Bjorn carrier...great for infants not great for backs. The Ergo is so much better.

Hello Newlywed Life Blog
We have the ergo and love it!!! Great list. :)
ReplyDeleteI definitely want the Ergo with baby 2! And I need a backpack style diaper bag! Love that one! I agree, Mommy hooks are a must!
ReplyDeleteHi, just found your blog! I have the Ergo and the Moby, but I've heard great things about the sling. Would you recommend it for a newborn or an older baby?
