Target Baby Sale - product opinions pls

[ss_storm]

We got their catalogue in the letterbox the other day- thought I might at least go and check out, because I think you are able to put stuff on layby as well?

Sorry to invade your thread..but I have a question...I noticed you can save a fair bit on their baby clothes, but *sorry this is probably a really dumb question* what size would you need to buy for a newborn?? Or should I get a few in each size?

Sizes are tricky. But don't buy too much 'fancy' stuff, you'll likely get tonnes of those as gifts after the baby is born. Just go for lots of the basics - all in ones and stuff.

I received this catalogue in the letterbox last night and was planning to go and get some of the jumpsuits.

I was also planning on getting the Angelcare babymonitor as I have seen it at baby stores for $199. Does anyone know if this comes with 1 sensor pad or 2?

I was also considering putting the Sesame Street rocker on layby - Does anyone have an opinion on rockers? Good /Bad /Not worth it?

i think the $199 version is 1 sensor pad but Im not sure. Either that or its the older model hence why its cheaper.
The 2 sensor pad version in the newer model is between $230-$300 depending where you buy it and if you have 1 or 2 receivers

It looks like it only comes with one sensor. I used a rocker with both my boys and it was wonderful, I highly recommend getting one. Getting one with a hood is handy so you can take it outside while you're hanging out the washing

my angelcare monitor came with 2 sensors. I bought it about 4 yrs ago.

BTW having bought my monitor 4 yrs ago & its still as good as new now so is being used for DS. They are obviously made well so it may be a good idea to see whats available on Ebay for the monitor... it may save you close to $100!

i cant wait till tomorrow .. I will be getting the fisher price rainforrest jumperoo .. always wanted one for DS and now i can get one for DD !! yay .. i reckon the bassinette will be a waste for the pram .. IMO if bubs is in the capsule , then i would just click it straight into the pram , you wont have to wake them if they are asleep , and its more portable than the bassinette ..

i have the fisher price (britax) car capsule , i got it over the steelcraft one as it goes up to 12kgs not 9 like most others , i will get heaps of use out of it as DD is quite small at 5mths old .. i put it in to a stroller and shopping trolleys .. saves lugging the P&T around ...

For everyone buying a highchair....look and see if it is easy to clean! We bought a nice one form Target (does not matter where it would have been bought though), the high-low combo one and I have hosed it so many times as it has sooooo many nooks and cranies and once solids are under way and finger food is on the menu...the easier they are to clean, the BETTER!

If I was buying a new one I would actaully go for the old fashioned ones iykwim!

Just throwing my opion out there to help save stress attacks for some of you. lol

i would get 000 for a newborn, but it may be a good idea to have some 0000's as well. my daughter was 9lb2oz and she wore her 0000's for about 2 weeks (mind you, some 0000 didnt fit at all, and some 000 were perfect right from the beginning!)

with dd also, i bought up to size 1 before she was born. it was really handy to have bigger sizes in her drawes, because before you know it, some things are too small, and its great to have the next size up already on hand! so it wouldnt hurt to grab 00's as well!

I didnt buy anything under 000 for DS, and wont for this bub.
I fugyre if they are on the smaller side, well they wont be cold, and I can make DH got out and get some 0000s, but if they're too big for what we've bought, then its sort of a waste.
