So yesterday we picked up a TON of used baby gear from my SIL. She's been wanting to unload her stuff on us for years, as soon as we got married. Though I am not opposed to used stuff and gratefully accept hand-me-downs, I really feel kind of snobby and don't want to use most of the stuff for our LO.
She has 2 boys, 7 1/2 y/o and 4 1/2 y/o. They are pretty rough and tumble normal boys, where as DH and I are expecting our first (a spoiled little princess-to-be). I just mainly wanted the pack & play to leave at our vacation home.

Inventory:
1) A Peg Perego Stroller that's like 8 years old. The thing is huge and she couldn't even get it to unfold right. Said she would find the manual for me and give it to me next time. This is the actual stroller DH bought for her first son and he was like "Yes! We definitely want that!" as she was telling us how it was "The BEST stroller ever!" Ugh. Snob here. I still want my UBV. I don't know where & when I can use the "extra stroller". Maybe leave it at my parents or in-laws house for them to use if they're babysitting? What do you think? P.S. Can you wash stroller seats?

2) An old Graco high chair. She said "It's AWESOME because it reclines!" It's quite huge and after DH took it out of the car last night it unfolded by itself and neither one of us could fold it back up. Not sure how important I will think a high chair will be in the future and whether I'll really insist on something new and slimmer designed? ugh. practicality vs. aesthetics...

3) A tummy time playmat. Can you throw these things in the wash? I guess an extra one never hurts. Will probably go to vacation home or grandparents house.

4) Pivot & Play Swing - Another hideous piece that takes up a lot of space. Definitely one of the pieces from nephew #1 and old. I wasn't going to take it, but she told us to leave it at the vacation home.

5) Sit & Stroll Carseat on wheels thing. This is the one I'm most thankful and happy we got. It's still in the original box and she said they only used it a couple of times. Not sure how much we'd use it, but glad we got it and in good condition. Also, another huge piece and I just hope DH can manage to wrangle it into our small attic.

Sorry for the novella. Am I being a total snob for wanting mostly new things for my first baby? Would you want to use all this used gear for your first baby in your own home? I feel like they are just old, dirty, and not my style. But I know baby gear is expensive so I should be & I am super grateful. Alas, I didn't get an umbrella stroller, which is what I was hoping for. And there was no more room left in the car for the pack & play (which we'll pick up next time).

Tell me Bee Moms! What would you do?
