    My P & T pram - so great with a baby and a young toddler, I agree with the ear thermometer - piece of mind for mama without waking them up and using cloth nappies with J for sure.

    Video Monitor - exy but is fantastic when baby is in own room and you can see what they are up to, especially at night. We still use one for DD who is 21 months and have another for the boys.

    Baby Rocker/Glider - fantastic for putting bubs to sleep if they need movement to help them drop off and is my lifesaver with the twins, we have 2 which they sleep in during the day and if a bit cranky I can put them in them, set them going and off to sleep they go.

    Ezy combo car seat - goes from ages 6mths to 7 years so no need to have to buy a booster seat when they turn 4, so for the first 6 mths for the boys we have hired capsules as they are easier to use with 2 babies and meant less outlay on something we would only need for a short time.

    I voted a nappy/change bag. I purchased a really practical one and it has survived all three of my kids.
    I didn't realise I could pick three so our Safe n Sound Meridian Car seat...starts as capsule then turns around to Toddler seat, another one of our baby items that has survived all three children and is still in use.
    And our Cot, we purhcased a Boori cot that turns into a Toddler bed later..still going strong.

    ETA: BellyBelly goes without saying I reckon
