New Gear
A couple of weeks ago we decided to go buy some new baby gear with our free rewards gift cards that my DH earns at work - so pretty much all of this stuff (and then some) was free! Can't beat that! Our first purchase was a high chair.
We currently have a Bumbo seat with a tray, so we weren't quite sure if we even needed a high chair right now, but we decided to go with it. It also helps her get used to sitting in a chair at the table when it is time to eat. We went with the space-saver high chair and we love it so far! It doesn't take up much space at all, the inner tray is dishwasher safe, it reclines, and the back also comes off so you can use it as a booster seat when she is older. I was always kinda worried about how secure it is since all you do is strap it to a chair - and this one doesn't budge at all. It gets super tight. You can also adjust the height of the high chair which is a nice added feature. and the best part? Its pretty dang cheap because you don't have one of those massive ones..(cheap anyways, its free)!!
We also decided to go for a pack-n-play. We thought maybe when she starts to get mobile it would be nice to put her into a playpen. We found the cheapest one with no bells and whistles and I honestly don't know what I did without one! It is nice to put her in it while I am doing chores and don't have to worry about the dog messing around with her. She seems to like it too. When we were picking one out, we just found one that was inside the box that wasn't on display. We thought it had monkeys on it from the microscopic picture on the front. Boy were we wrong. Turns out to be a cat, no a leopard? a giraffe? a hippo? and a turtle on it. If there were something called Baby Wrecks instead of Cake Wrecks, this would definitely make the cut.
Our other free purchase was a rear-facing convertible car seat. Ours that we have now is certified for up to 29" long and 22 lbs. The problem is, Macyn is already 26" at 5 months so we think she might outgrow this one before she turns 1. The car seat we got is certified from 5-80 lbs. Like the high chair, it grows with your baby and turns into a booster seat for the car.
We also bought some other things - a few clothes for summer and some pants. We still have quite a bit of money from gift cards to use up. But its awesome to get such good and useful things...for free!!
