Also check for adjustable straps and, preferably, a five-point-harness system.
**********************************************
* These items are optional 'nice-to-haves'. Some of them may become necessities over time, for example, the baby massage oil, if baby has colic. Remember, you can always buy the items you are not sure about, after baby is born.
This list is pretty long and there's a lot of baby goodies on here - babies do seem to need a great deal of little bits and pieces! If you are wondering who is going to buy this enormous mountain of stuff and how you're going to keep track of it
check out The Land of Nod's fantastic gift registry.
The Land of Nod will send it out to all the family and friends you put on the list and keep track of each item as it is purchased. You'll never get doubles
and you won't have to buy everything yourself!
