baby travel systems on clearance image
Q. I am 37 weeks pregnant and need to know before the baby comes thanks please IM me
Answer
I would NOT recommend any evenflo carseats, although their strollers are fine. We have the evenflo aura elite, and have had it replaced twice....We like the stroller that came with the travel system though.
I WOULD recommend the graco pack N play for a playpen...it has a bassinet insert. We used it until our baby was 15 pounds...before we bothered buying a crib. It was the perfect size, played music, vibrated, and had a changing table insert as well. Ours had been $150, but we got it on clearance at toysrus for $40! Best deal of the entire pregnancy.
We have the fisher price swing with the "sea" motif. Very popular. I personally don't like swings. After having a cesarean, it is difficult to bend over, holding the baby, to situate her in the swing seat.
You really need a bouncer seat. Just pick one that has several reclining positions (at least 2, so the baby can sit up if he has acid reflux), make sure it can vibrate, and make sure it plays soothing nature sounds and music. Don't buy one that bounces out of control every time the baby moves, and make sure you choose one that is very lightweight....you'll be carrying it from room to room, so you don't want anything heavy.
Bottles? Use Dr. Browns.
Diapers? Pampers baby dry.
Formula? Parents' Choice (at walmart) generic imitation of Similac advance milk-based with iron (Only $11 per large can, as opposed to $26 per large can of similac!)

Pricing baby items for a yardsale?
Amber
My family is having a yardsale next month and I am going to unload some of the things my daughter has outgrown. How do you price things? I know I am unloading some clothes, a bouncer, a couple playmats (she just crawls right off them now). I am also thinking we might get rid of the carseat and matching stroller (replaced by a convertable and lightweight stroller).
What are the guidelines for good condition items?
Answer
You have to consider brands, what kind of area you are selling in, and how badly you want stuff to sell. I can go to Target, Walmart, JcPenney, Kohls, etc, right this minute and get brand new baby and toddler size tshirts, shorts, and skirts for under $4 each. At the end of the season winter clearance I got my daughter's brand new fall wardrobe for around $1.50 a piece. Used is used, people are very unlikely to pay more than a dollar for most baby clothes unless its some name brand in perfect condition. If you want it gone, price to sell.
Playmats really shouldn't cost much of anything. $2 at most if you want them gone. Used car seats are used and most parents fear them. Saving a buck means nothing if the carseat could have possibly been in a crash. I would price your travel system low, maybe $30 at most, if you want it gone.
A garage sale is mostly a way to get rid of stuff, not make big money. Not everyone will try to talk you down. Lots of people will roll their eyes at high prices and walk away.
