Great for creating your baby registry

Very helpful book, especially if you don't even know what a baby needs at all. I was clueless and used this to figure out what to register for. Also bought several items specially because of this book (crib, bouncy chair, etc). The only thing I disagree with is their stroller ratings, they are very biased against Graco which in my opinion is based on dated experiences. Definitely worth the $$ and a great gift for a friend who has just told you they are expecting!!!

The Bible

I call this book my baby Bible. I was SO overwhelmed when I got pregnant. I had no idea where to even start. This book was my map. It gave me ideas on what I needed and was an excellent source for reviews on all of the brands available. I used on-line reviews of products and Consumer Reports on-line as well, and between it all I am confident that I have gotten the best items for the best prices. I have impressed my friends who already have 1 or 2 kids with the thoroughness of my registry. It was all because of this book and some common sense. I bought this for my co-worker who is now pregnant, and she turned around and bought a copy for one of her friends. It has been invaluable to us.

Great reviews and bargains

Highly recommend this book for expecting parents. Best part is the book also reviews items for safety and use, not just price. The name is a bit misleading because the book will recommend more expensive items if it believes it is of better quality and a better value. Already saved hundreds when buying a crib and stroller and we will continue to use the book as a reference when we register for the baby shower. Book easily pays for itself!!

Helpful, but could use some improvements

As a first-time parent, I found this book helpful in suggesting what I do and don't need and when. I do wish they had used the supposed wealth of parent feedback on their website to list: which strollers and car seats are purchased and liked the most, and which are the best baby slings (and where to buy them cheaper). They recommend skipping the travel system and using a Graco infant seat with just a stroller frame...but this doesn't save you money, as the lower end Graco travel system costs about the same as those two items! Also, the MacLaren frame ($70) is the only one that didn't have problems with tipping over or broken wheels according to my reasearch. Still, I appreciate what they are doing and did glean some useful information.

Great resource!

This is a great resource. It takes time to get through it the first time, but I cross checked a lot of it online and with Consumer Reports and practically everything was accurate. Just watch out for the page numbers listed on the index. Now that I've read and chosen most of our registry items, I use this book to check on specific brands or items that I'm rethinking. The page numbers don't always match up, so you have to go a few pages back or forward to find the actual item. Not a big issue, but can be a pain sometimes. All in all, I highly recommend this book to anyone starting a first baby registry or supply list.
