@junebaby, right..!
I always check the lists first.. @tracynangel

The used gear make sure it hasn't been safety recalled!

only think I care to have new is the car seat. as long as it's clean and from a smoke free home I don't mind a bit.

@mamas_mia, @juliagail09, @parkers_mommy, I AGREE..!

Why buy new when they're just gonna grow out of it in 3 months anyway

ALOT of my babys stuff is used. her swing i bought for $20 from a lady and also a boppy l....we got a ton of clothes from girls my bf works with. i totally agree if its still in good condition why not use it.

I'm all for used as long as it's in good condition & no smoke smell (can't seem to ever get it completely out even with washing). why spend so much on stuff they out grow so fast?! just doesn't make sense to me lol

@santistevanmommie, yeah, I ended up getting lucky this time around.. I bought the carseat, then went to a garage sale two weeks later and they had the matching stroller.. So i got it cheaper but still matched.. That doesn't happen often..

@yourmommylovesyou, the only reason I'm not buying the stroller used is because I'm getting it as a set but I would get the stroller used too.

@tracynangel, wow, really..? Nice..! I'm a thrift store and yard sale kinda girl myself... Haven't been to a swap and shop since I was little with my dad.. lol

@miasmum, lol I'm the same way, I'll spend about ten mins looking for me and an hour and a half looking for the baby.. lol My husband keeps telling me to stop buying baby stuff, cause we have more than enough, and I tell him that's it, I won't buy anymore.. Then then next time I go, I tell myself I'm just gonna look, then I end up leaving with more.. lol

It was so worth it! Got up to 12 months stocked with pants and snow suits and onesies and fleeces and sweaters!

Me too! but not even for myself anymore lol I go straight to the baby aisle. and I keep telling myself ok that's it nomore! but when you find something that would've been 10-15 bucks at the mall for 75 cents you'd be crazy not to get it!!!!!

@santistevanmommie, I've never bought a used carseat, but have bought a used stroller..

@tracynangel, Jeez, that must have been tons of stuff..!
