Baby Gear

[thebarber]

i wouldnt buy used safety gear for the kid though.....if we hadnt have got the infant seat from a close friend, we'd have bought new.

all the other stuff (clothes, crib, toys, stroller, change table, dresser, etc) we bought used....especially when theyre young, they grow out of stuff super quick...nor does it matter what the style of clothes they wear (and should prove funny in about 15yrs ;) )

i agree. we bought all our non-carseat-stuff from consignment shops, resellers, etc.(except the furniture which the grandparents bought as presents). actually, in our area(maybe even nationwide?) you can't take carseats to consignment shops or resellers because they aren't allowed to resell them - some kind of law. we sold pretty-much everything else back to the places we bought them or tried our own garage sales first then donated them to goodwill.
