We'll Be In Touch

I've had a few friends who have recently found out they were pregnant! Talking baby gear is one of my favorite conversations, so for a friend who doesn't live close, I rounded up a list of "what I would do if I did it all over again" based on what I know now with 2 kids. I did it pretty fast and she was really focused on strollers, but I thought it would be fun to share! If there is something you love that I missed, leave it in the comments! Car Seat - the Chicco Keyfit 30 is the one all my friends have Stroller - I'm going to list out a few options: 1 - No seat, for car seat only "snap n go" That is the Chicco version OR the Baby Trend version (much cheaper) 2 - something you can use as an infant, that will also grow with you.
