Chicco-KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat and Base
First to recommend
3 people recommended this item
Description
At first we didn't want an infant car seat. "We'll just get a convertible," we said. But even though our son arrived 11 pounds and 22 inches long, he would slump down in the top-rated car seat we had. After slumping would come the screaming. And once the screaming started, I was crying - desperate to find the nearest parking lot to stop in and calm my poor child.
The Chicco-KeyFit 30 is a top-rated car seat by Consumer Reports, which I found somewhat useless - as they only evaluate it on how easy it is to install. Granted, it took like 30 seconds to install, and was very easy, but is that all there is to a car seat? Not for me.
This seat comes with a level marker so you know the base is installed correctly, it comes with an infant insert - no more slumping, it's easy to carry, and when off the base can be set up to rock or stay still, depending upon what you need and where you put the handle.
It is so easy to change the base that we're not getting one for our second car. When we need to take the other car, we just move the base. It takes longer to get to the other car than to install the base in it.

Boppy Nursing and Infant Support Pillows
10 people recommended this item
Description
We got this pillow as a shower gift, and while I had put it on my registry, I wasn't sure what the big deal was. I mean, it's just a pillow, right?
Sure, it's just a pillow, but the shape is PERFECT. It fits around my waist and then my son (and the cat, for that matter) lay on it. We use it for breastfeeding, he sleeps in it in my lap (I'm writing this recommendation with him asleep in my lap on his Boppy), he can sit up in it at 1 month old, it's easily washable and the cover is cute.
There aren't a lot of baby products that I've found particularly valuable but my Moby wrap and this Boppy are invaluable.

Moby Wrap Baby Carrier
4 people recommended this item
Description
I tried 3 or 4 different baby carriers before I found the Moby Wrap, and both Jaryth and I love it. He feels very secure when he's in it, and falls asleep even when he's been extremely fussy outside of it. I love that he can sit facing in or out and I can wear him all day - even nurse in it if I want to.

About htmljenn:
I've been a Web Designer and writer since 1995, and until 2007 thought that was all that I needed to be. But then we decided to have a child, and in 2008 my life changed dramatically. I am interested in horses, computers, goats, programming, gardening, holistic health, and my family. My passion is to help people - usually with learning HTML, CSS, or Web design - but I like to help however I can.
