Even the jumper that he's used for maybe 2 months is nearing the end of its use because he crawls where he wants to go! The play tables got a ton of use with E....expecting the same for T erinpye on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396474 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 04:27:53 +0000 erinpye 2396474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Our kids hated pretty much all the gear: screamed in strollers so they were only used a handful of times, no bouncer or swing would do for either, no exersaucer, hated the pack n play, etc. We did use the following for both: all the clothes that weren't destroyed with our first DD, the crib, the car seats, the iBaby monitor, the A&A swaddle blankets, the Arms Reach cosleeper, and the high chair. We got a Rock n Play for DD2 that we used a lot when she was a newborn, and I bet DD1 would have loved it too. lamariniere on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396465 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 03:17:03 +0000 lamariniere 2396465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Agree with the others about the Tripp Trapp, we have one for each kid. gDiapers, the stroller and crib are the items we used for both of them. shellio on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396435 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 00:13:01 +0000 shellio 2396435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Infant carseat, cribs/mattresses, clothes, stroller, ergo, cloth diapers, dresser with changing pad, bottles have all been through all 3 kids. They each have their own noise machine, the oldest at 4 still uses his, we sleep with white noise in our room too so who knows if he will ever stop using it. @oliviaoblivia: We bought a second tripp trapp too, love it. Debating about buying the third for the new LO, the oldest could theoretically sit in a chair but its probably more comfortable for him to eat in his own chair plus its nice for them to have their own thing! chopsuey on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396394 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 22:56:40 +0000 chopsuey 2396394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Peg perego infant car seat + universal adapter, Maclaren Volo umbrella stroller, ergo, fp swing, baby Einstein play mat and exercauser, marpac sound machine (we have 2 now), Motorola video monitor, pnp. All of the above have been retired and donated.. except the sound machines 🙌🏻🙌🏻 BSB on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396393 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 22:56:35 +0000 BSB 2396393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not sure if this counts because I have twins but both like the mamaroo. autumnlove on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396385 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 22:33:00 +0000 autumnlove 2396385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Cloth diapers, clothes, PNP, Chicco Keyfit, Keyfit Caddy, bottle warmer, swing (except LO 2), crib mattress, cribs and toys. hellobeeboston on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396343 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 21:36:43 +0000 hellobeeboston 2396343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So far it's been the Rock n Play, definitely. hellobeeboston on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396342 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 21:36:12 +0000 hellobeeboston 2396342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrsjyw: does the marpac dohm give off a fan noise?? lilteacherbee on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396292 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 20:17:37 +0000 lilteacherbee 2396292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Definitely the Rock n Play, swing, swaddles, and most clothes (both boys).

LO2 will reuse the RNP and bouncer, although DS was never super into them. We still use/love his Ikea high chair but we'll probably move him to the FP travel booster we have and reuse the Antilop for LO2. We adore our UP Cruz so we'll probably just put LO2 in it and have DS use the Mountain Buggy Nano, but we love our UP products (LO2 will use the Mesa carseat) so we are thinking about selling the Cruz and Nano and getting the UP Glink umbrella double stroller! sera_87 on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396206 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 18:41:08 +0000 sera_87 2396206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Swing, clothes, infant bucket seat, high chair & SSCs. oliviaoblivia on "What gear was used well by all LO(s)?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-gear-was-used-well-by-all-los#post-2396171 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 17:52:03 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2396171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ The swing was huge with both girls. Strollers and carriers got a lot of mileage. DD1's Tripp Trapp is still used so much we ended up buying another for DD2 and one for DD3 too.

Our high chair, exersaucer are also getting lots of use! We used a lot of things over again with LO2, but he wasn't as into the swing/bouncer as much as his big bro. And we're not attached to the monitor like we were the first time around. Clothes/sleepwear/sleep blankets are also another staple that has been reused well the second time around, but we've also had to buy new because they were different season babies.
