We got the mamaroo, but it was way too slow for DD. She loves the one at daycare, but at 6.5 months old, she won't need it much longer so it's not worth buying. We'll definitely get one if we have another baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-249479 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 11:08:33 +0000 kokobee 249479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for us, i wished that we bought our uppa vista before LO was born. i wasn't able to use the bassinet which i felt was a waste. we bought it when he was about 5 months. i guess we can get good use for future baby #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-249468 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 11:04:20 +0000 pastemoo 249468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we had more money... a jogging stroller, an upright car seat that can hold more weight and go rear and forward facing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-249274 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 08:43:24 +0000 betsyboop 249274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A swing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-249229 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:56:05 +0000 Weagle 249229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I kind of wish we had registered for a more rugged stroller, and bought the lightweight one ourselves. I LOVE our B-Agile, but I would really like to have something a little more rugged for our crazy sidewalks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-248402 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 08:20:40 +0000 heffalump 248402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also wish I would have gotten a teething necklace. Oh well... there's always the next. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-248399 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 08:18:16 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 248399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE my reclining glider. One thing I would of gotten is the stroller of my dreams. I didn't really do my research when it came time to purchase a stoller and I regret it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-248373 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 07:16:25 +0000 Andrea 248373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reclining glider so I am definitely getting one for #2.... even though it is kinda ridiculous since we have a regular glider already but I really want one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-248342 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 02:53:02 +0000 BoogieBea 248342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a nursing necklace. It worked for a while but at the end, he still got distracted. I didn't have a glider either, I wonder if it would have made nursing more comfortable.<br /> I don't think there's anything I wish I had gotten. Kids really need so much less than we anticipate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-248339 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 02:24:12 +0000 pinkcupcake 248339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A glider!! I finally bought one this week and I'm so mad at myself for waiting this long. It's such a comfy place to nurse!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-246764 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 09:02:24 +0000 Mrs. Bee 246764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: nah it's just a big necklace so they can play with it with their hands while nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-246718 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:30:56 +0000 mrsjazz 246718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had bought a glider or rocker. Since we are moving in 2 months I may get one for the new place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-246704 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:21:23 +0000 T.H.O.U. 246704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so glad I splurged early on and got a nice breast pump (Medela Freestyle) and a good carrier (Ergo). </p> <p>I wish I had bought a cute little kid rocker/recliner chair to take her pictures in. I'm debating getting her one for her first birthday. </p> <p>We were able to hit up a lot of consignment sales so we have lots of toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-246703 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:21:15 +0000 Mrsbells 246703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had bought our glider earlier, also we use her boppy pillow everyday so I dont know why I waiting a month before buying it and lansinoh storage bags. Its weird because I had the bags but just wasnt using them and kept using bottles to store her milk.<br /> I also wish I would have bought the baby bjorn carrier, we received it as a gift and she loves it. I didnt buy her a bouncer because i thought they didnt seem comfortable but she loves her bouncer at daycare.<br /> Also, I wish I had purchased an additional set of pump parts from the beginning. it makes life so much easier </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-246702 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:20:20 +0000 Clementine 246702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely would have purchased our activity gym much sooner than when I did at 4 mos. I also would have gotten a recliner glider! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-246691 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:17:44 +0000 looch 246691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you mean those chewbeads? I am so intrigued by them, but they look huge! I haven't seen them in person though.</p> <p>If I could do it all over, I'd have bought a higher swing (we had a small one that was very low) and an actual cosleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-baby-gear-that-you-wish-you-had-purchased#post-246681 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 08:13:08 +0000 Mrs. Bee 246681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an overbuyer so I purchased most of the gear I wanted. But the two things I would have bought if I could go back in time are a reclining glider and a nursing necklace. Olive is so old now I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of a nursing necklace, but it seems like it would keep her more focused when nursing.</p> <p>One thing that I would have purchased sooner is a double stroller. </p> <p>What about you? Anything you wish you had purchased? Or purchased sooner? </p>
