When you had your second did you buy anything? Or did you save most gear to reuse for #2?

I didn't buy any new gear for #2! Just reused everything.

I didn't buy any new gear for baby #2. Someone graciously let us borrow their rock 'n play and snuggabunny swing though. Those two things happened to be lifesavers, so I might've bought those if I didn't have access to them. They were worth their weight in gold!

We're planning to get the equipment to turn our stroller into a double and that's about it
wonderful clementine / 24134 posts
Double seat for stroller
Rebuy a swing (didn't want to store our first)
Rebuy a bathtub
New bouncy seat (looking for a used Bjorne)
Maybe some burp cloths/towels etc

We're planning on buying:
More a&a
Pacis
Different changing pad (ours is dirty)
Different baby tub (hated ours)
An additional high chair (we're hoping to have them very close in age)
And a double stroller
I sold our swing but am undecided on whether or not I was another.

@TurtleDoves: I can't imagine having two high chairs to store!!

We will need a double stroller, second high chair (our attaches to the regular chair), extra camera, sound machine, rocker, and that's probably it. Oh, and a crib and dresser too
wonderful clementine / 24134 posts
Oh yea. I've got to figure out the monitor thing. I may give the angel care to the infant and get a video for the toddler.

We plan on getting:
crib (A will keep hers bc it turns into a regular bed)
new bath seat
double stroller
second monitor camera
Possibly another sling/carrier
Small things like clothes (they are opposite season), A&A blankets, pacifiers, sippy cups.

Glider, video monitor (though I would have bought it anyway for the crib-to-bed transition) k'tan (moby is too fussy) and a stroller with a toddler seat attachment. Got the last two things used for a steal. Bought a few pieces of clothing on clearance.

I'm planning on getting another rocker:glider and a double stroller. Also new bedding. New swaddles too.

Reusing most gear. Bought the Baby Bjorn travel crib, new sheets, and another foscam. We also bought some newborn and 3 month clothes since the baby will be born in the opposite season.

Plan to reuse most, but add a bouncy seat and structured carrier, which we ended up not getting for #1.
blogger / coconut / 8306 posts
We plan on reusing a much as we can. We'd to get a video monitor and a double stroller, though.

a double stroller, a new bathtub(we threw out DS) and a new changing pad(DH felt we needed one in each room) and crib

Depends on the age gap and gender, but will probably by DD a new big girl bed and reuse the crib. Also the 2nd seat for the stroller. A second high chair if needed.
If it's the same gender, re-use everything we can.
If it's opposite gender, maybe a new infant carseat. Definitely new A&A blankets and crib sheets.

We sold/donated most of DS's baby stuff as he outgrew it since we were living in a small place his first year. They will be 3 years apart.
We have upgraded to a new stroller, but still have the old one.
I still need to buy: lounger, high chair, play gym/mat, clothes (expecting a DD), want to get a nursing pillow this time around, probably need a pump too.

We never had a swing (craziness, I know), so we'll get a used one for this baby. I also want to get a video monitor for both girls.

We have bought or plan to buy:
dresser
crib
changing pad for dresser top
2-baby running/biking stroller
Think that's just about it... we will have 2 boys, 22 mos apart so we can reuse most clothes and other stuff. Oh I did have to splurge on a couple sets of matching jammies for both boys
@BabyBoecksMom: We never had a swing either! Never missed it and don't plan to buy one for this one.

So far as far as gear goes
- A + A blankets (bc big brother still uses his)
- New swing
- Exersaucer (there was no room at the old house)
- Beco Gemini (life saver!)
- Used double stroller
- Boppy activity mat
Just about everything else has been used by big brother except for her clothes (also almost all used but new to us!). There's still a few more items I'd like but we can wait

Hasn't actually happened yet, but we're TTC #2 and I'm thinking we'll be purchasing:
- Second camera for our video monitor
- Double stroller
- Second Diaper genie and changing pad (I don't even want to think about how fast ours would fill up with two in diapers!)
- Second high chair (there will be overlap where they both need one)
- Convertible car seat (again, overlap)

- a crib + mattress which i regret. should have just transitioned charlie to a toddler bed because he started climbing out shortly after olive was born. ended up selling the crib and mattress.
- i sold all the big toys like exersaucer so i rebought those used and then sold them again for the same price when olive outgrew them.
- snap and go - bought used and sold for same price
- double stroller - didn't need until olive was 6 months+
- second video camera
- new tub - threw the old one out
- babybjorn bouncer - bought used and sold for same price
- new bottles. olive hated bottles and charlie's were way too old/used.
other than that, a completely new wardrobe courtesy of grandma.
