Baby Gear Worth the Splurge (and What's Not)
Where to spend and where to save on baby products.
Not all baby gear is created equal. Here's where your money matters.
Worth the Splurge
- Car seat: Safety is paramount. Mid-range is usually fine; don't go cheapest.
- Stroller: You'll use it daily for years. A good one makes a difference.
- Carrier: Cheap ones hurt your back. Invest in ergonomic design.
- Glider: You'll spend hundreds of hours in it. Comfort matters.
- Crib mattress: Safety and longevity. Don't cheap out.
Save Your Money
- Clothes: Babies outgrow them in weeks. Buy secondhand or sale.
- Toys: Babies prefer boxes and spoons anyway.
- Wipe warmer: Unnecessary.
- Changing table: Dresser with pad works fine.
- Baby shoes: They don't walk.
