The best and most useful piece of baby equipment i bought, was the Little Squirt.

it's an attachment for the toilet, you squirt off all the poo from nappies with it, makes modern cloth nappying so easy peasy, i love it and use it multiple times per day (still, and my bub is 21 months old now).

not glam, but very practical item. after all, until toilet training, we gotta deal with the poo somehow!
