We got some gender neutral things but if I liked it in blue, I got it in blue. I figured a girl would look ok in blue things anyway. We have the bugaboo bee with bright blue canopy. But I'm planning on buying the bright pink canopy. hehehe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131839 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 11:18:57 +0000 ainsworthe 131839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't - blue all the way!!! </p> <p>But I'm not sure we would've had it been the other way around. I think a baby girl could pull off a bright blue stroller better than a baby boy in a pink stroller...</p> <p>(Although I LOVE the bright pink Bugaboo Chameleon fabric!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131810 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:58:58 +0000 tequiero21 131810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to buy 2 of most things so everything is fairly gender neutral... Black and grey cars eat, red and black stroller, dark brown cribs.. Etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131798 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:53:21 +0000 cyndistar3 131798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we had our first lo we weren't thinking about future children at all so we got a pink stroller/ carseat and everything but we have lots if other gender neutral things and thank goodness we are having another girl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131776 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:33:29 +0000 HabesBabe 131776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're Team Green, so we registered for all gender-neutral gear. I'm sure once the baby comes, we'll get gender-specific clothing, but all of our "big items" will be neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131682 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:43:00 +0000 autumnlove 131682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our gear is all neutral! Mostly grays and greens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131677 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:39:35 +0000 Honeybee 131677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were Team Green both times, so everything I bought during pregnancy (all the big stuff, newborn clothing, crib bedding, etc...) is gender neutral. The only gender-specific things we own are clothes, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131663 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:34:37 +0000 cyneswith 131663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trying for all gender neutral gear (including crib bedding). Though it really doesn't matter. One of my "nephews", his mom's first, had girly swing/bouncers/etc - because those were the hand-me-downs he got. All of the gear used in public was gender neutral, though. Have gender neutral basics in clothing, but for most clothes, I just prefer the gender-specific stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131656 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:30:31 +0000 owlmom 131656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like most of the previous posters, our big items are gender neutral but clothes are gender specific. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131646 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:26:55 +0000 MsMini 131646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are team green, so everything is gender neutral at this point (except I bought a handful of gender specific boy/girl onsies and sleepers). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131641 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:25:07 +0000 betsyboop 131641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @winniebee, our gear is gender neutral but stuff like crib bedding and clothing is not so gender neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131637 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:23:10 +0000 MamaMoose 131637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: We're not finding out the sex and I'm planning on buying lots of red stuff (car seat, stroller, etc). I think red is totally gender neutral! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131618 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:18:00 +0000 SugarplumsMom 131618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All things reusable are in gender neutral colors (stroller, crib sheets, nursery colors, podster, infant bouncer, we're planning to get a carseat that's neutral too). But after the gender reveal, I've bought a lot of girly clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131608 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 09:12:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 131608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought gender neutral because we knew we wanted a second child. Works out perfectly seeing I'm having a girl this time aorund. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131499 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:09:56 +0000 LuLu Mom 131499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are buying/registering for all big items to be neutral so they can be used again. I have a friend who went pink crazy with her little girl thinking they were only going to have one. Now her little boy has all pink swings, chairs, ect. She hates it but her husband refused to let her buy stuff they already had in different colors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131493 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:06:56 +0000 looch 131493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought everything neutral, I personally don't like pink or pastels (I look terrible in them!!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131491 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:05:29 +0000 mrs. wagon 131491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought everything gender neutral. Well, actually most of it is red and so a lot of people would assume Wagon Jr. was a girl. Haha. But I think red is pretty gender neutral and it's Wagon Sr.'s favorite color. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131475 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:54:35 +0000 Andrea 131475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: haha. I think DH would make me get a new one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131465 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:49:44 +0000 volksgirl64 131465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did. The stroller, crib bedding and car seat are all neutral. But we're having another girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131464 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:49:12 +0000 Pipers Mommy 131464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were Team Green, but would have gone neutral anyway on big ticket items so that we don't have to repurchase anything since there is never a guarantee that we'd get the same gender twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131462 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:48:19 +0000 winniebee 131462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of our gear is gender neutral (car seat, stroller, bundleme, pack n play, bumbo, high chair, glider, towels....) but all of our clothing and bedding is baby boy. No biggie though, my sister has 2 girls so if we ever have a girl we will be in pink heaven! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131459 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:47:30 +0000 heffalump 131459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant I saw a little boy in a hot pink stroller. He had an older sister. Thank goodness I saw that or I would have bought LO all pink things! We can't afford to buy everything twice. So all the big stuff is gender neutral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131456 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:45:39 +0000 chopsuey 131456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: HAAH I would totally use the salmon!! Just make sure he's wearing lots of blue! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131453 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:44:48 +0000 Andrea 131453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: heh. I asked DH if we could put a boy in our salmon stroller and he was so horrified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131452 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:43:00 +0000 chopsuey 131452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I think so! It's a dark purple with some light thrown in. Eh. It's probably more fem than it is masculine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131442 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:37:42 +0000 Andrea 131442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: is purple gender neutral? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131435 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:33:07 +0000 regberadaisy 131435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, on purpose so that we can reuse for #2 if it's a boy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131434 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:32:42 +0000 chopsuey 131434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a gender neutral carseat (purple), bebe pod is red.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-buy-gender-neutral-gear#post-131432 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 07:31:03 +0000 Andrea 131432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really didn't. We might only have one baby so I just went for pink stuff: car seat lining, Bumbo, a salmon colored stroller, a custom pink and white striped glider etc. So if we do have another, having a girl would save us big bucks! </p>
