So, at least one baby got a use out of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gear-youre-glad-you-dont-buy#post-380155 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:49:57 +0000 autumnlove 380155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: What about your BOB...lol?

I wanted this really nice AIO crib that was marked down to $400 which is actually pretty reasonable, but i decided to get a nicer mattress instead. I'm actually glad we didn't spend that much considering she was in a bassinet for the first 3-4 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gear-youre-glad-you-dont-buy#post-380128 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:40:35 +0000 chopsuey 380128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad I didn't put a nursery together for LO and glad we never bought an expensive stroller! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gear-youre-glad-you-dont-buy#post-380034 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:03:22 +0000 pinkcupcake 380034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: haha yes!

I really wanted it but we got a Baby Cache crib from BRU instead! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gear-youre-glad-you-dont-buy#post-379993 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:32:59 +0000 glimmersnaps 379993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We borrowed a swing, bouncer and pack and play. DS liked the bouncer for some time but not long. </p> <p>I didn't have any other jumperoo, walker or anything like that. He ended up walking early and I don't think he would have liked them for more than about a month.</p> <p>I wish I would have gotten a cheaper crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gear-youre-glad-you-dont-buy#post-379986 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:23:51 +0000 shopaholic 379986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: Oh thanks! haha!

We borrowed a lot of stuff from friends, like a bouncer, jumperoo, clothing, etc. </p> <p>You may not have gotten the stroller, but at least you got the anywhere chair. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gear-youre-glad-you-dont-buy#post-379936 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:54:24 +0000 pinkcupcake 379936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I reeeeally wanted an expensive stroller but DH put his foot down at spending $1000 on a stroller. I was bummed at the time but now I'm so glad we didn't - L hates the stroller so we've used our Chicco travel system maybe five times max. I wish we had just bought the snap and go instead!</p> <p>Anything you're glad, in hindsight, that you didn't buy? </p>
