Thread: baby registry
When we first started accepting babies, (we prefer 4-10 year olds or so) I had nothing because our youngest child, at that time, was way outside of babyhood. ;) I searched Craigslist for some good bargains and stocked up through there. I remember getting a glider chair and ottoman, sit and stand stroller (fits three) new carseat and base, bathtub, pack and play, and a bunch of blankets for only 75 dollars. I found two new looking exersaucers at a yard sale for 10 bucks each, and stocked up on baby clothes via yardsales as well.
The only things I purchased new was a baby crib and mattress. I bought these from walmart for a hundred bucks for both. I also splurged with one of my drug addicted babies and went to BabiesRUs and bought a swing. It was overpriced and a ridiculous buy, but it saved my sanity and, now, has been well worth the money spent.
My advice would be to buy used. You can get some super nice, very gently used baby items for very cheap.
