Saturday, the moms of multiples group here is having a BIG garage sale at the high school by our house. We're going to go and stock up on lots of used things at a very affordable price! I already know that we can use some clothes in the 6M size and lots more in the 9M+ size, but gear-wise, what should we look at picking up?
We have swings and bouncers and all kinds of stuff for fussy newborns and < 6M babies. What should we keep an eye out for that she can use when she's older?

Toys! Things like an activity table, blocks... Plastic stuff that's easy to clean and that you really don't want to pay full price for. If you don't have an activity gym I would pick one of those up too.

Oh, and it's kind of hard to know how big your baby will be, and how they will be built, but you could go ahead and look for things like coats for next winter and shoes that are in good condition.

Do you have a high chair? Around that age I picked up a used high chair. Also, a clip on high chair for restaurants is also great.
A few other toy things:
- Quality wooden toys
- Balls (especially the kind they can hold easily like Oball)
- Taggies
- Stacking cups or rings (she still loves this set at 18 months: http://www.fisher-price.com/en_Us/products/38607)
- Ride on toys
- Push cars
- little chair and table.

Coats and shoes, good idea! And yeah, as cheap as stuff will be, even if it doesn't fit her, no big skin off my back. I can always re-donate it. last time i went to one of these things, onesies were 25 or 50 cents!
Good idea on the toys and activity tables! I do have a high chair, but a clip on one is a great idea.
I've been so focused on the newborn/itty bitty baby stage, i haven't even THOUGHT about the next steps, haha.

Another vote for activity table (we got a great one at a multiples sale) and outdoor toys for the summer!
