I started looking for things when I was 5 weeks pregnant!!! and I thought I knew exactly what I wanted.. at 16 weeks, I still haven't started shopping and now I am majorly confused on what to buy and what not to buy!!!
I intend to start buying furniture in July since we would have moved into a bigger place by then and will also know the gender, inshaAllah!!
i have been told by everyone to do shopping in second trimester.. in third, its really hard to move around let alone shop!

oh, I just started by third tri, I think I should start now!
^^ I started shopping very late too. In my third trimester. It was cold weather here in NY so I wasn't really excited abt going out to shop in harsh weather and plus because I was avoiding buying a lot, I bought just what I needed in the third trimester. I think if I had started early, I would've bought a lot of baikar stuff. I made a list and did all of my shopping in just a month or two.
GTG I would suggest you come to NY for shopping at babies r us. They have a flagship store in Union Square, three floors. You'll find a huge variety here. I bought car seat/stroller and a lot of other things from here. Their second floor has a HUGE collection of car seats and strollers.
I think UppaBaby Vista is a great stroller from infancy till they become a toddler. Don't underestimate the use of a stroller GTG. I know the baby is coming in winter but you would still want to go out for a change of surrounding such as just taking a stroll in the mall. Being couped up inside the house with the baby will depress you.
If you don't use a stroller, how are you planning on carrying the baby when you go out? Won't the car seat arrangement be heavy to lift everywhere.
i dunno cherry.. I just dun like strollers but I know I will end up buying one!!!
I think strollers are bulky so I thought I may not need any for teh first few months... I am thinking of getting SNAP n GO for the car seat in case its needed.. again I believe it will be something that I will buy only after the baby is here!!
ps: with the winter that we have here, it will be unfair to my baby to take him/her outside.. we get snow in foot not in inches :D
started shopping in my third trimester due to scheduling constraints. One good thing is that I have been walking a lot (even if inside of the mall lol). Just got this set by peg perego in green:
oh I was just wondering the name of the style not brand but its okay I will look up.. I am making a list of strollers that I want to try before I buy one and was thinkin of adding this one in the list too.
Today I saw the bassinet stroller (or whatever you call them) and it loooked sooo cute but I am sure it will be no good in the long run!!!
I bought a car seat and a graco stroller frame for my baby when he was born. Now he is a little over 2 months. I am looking into light weight strollers. I know for sure that I am getting Maclaren. There are so many different kind of Maclaren strollers. Does anyone know which one is best kind? I have elimated Volvo just because I don't think that'll give my kiddo enough support. Anyone done research on strollers, specially Maclarens?

reason why we didnt get a MacClaren was because it's had quite a few recalls in the past few years. Uppa Baby and Peg Perego have lightweight umbrella strollers. SGC said that everyone she knew with an Uppa Baby loved theirs:):)
^^^ I want something that would recline too. I don't really know if Peg Perego or Uppa baby recline all the way. I go to Manhattan a lot, sometimes alone so I wanted something very small and light weight that I won't have problem taking out of the car and trying to fit into small stores and doorways here. I see most people with Maclaren here in NY. Now that you mentioned, I'll look into the other two brands too to see if they have all what i am looking for.
Both should have a complete recline but you can always confirm the stats on their website.
We almost bought the peg perego Pliko switch compact but I wasn’t very impressed with it’s construction in person and was very disappointed as it’s super cute. it didn’t feel very sturdy at all so I opted for the m&p sola instead.
The Vela looks fab, blushing rose!
