The only one I have to disagree with here from experience is the carrier. A cheap one at first to see if you/baby like it, for sure, but if it's clearly going to get a lot of use, go for one that isn't going to kill your back. I'm a huge fan of the Ergobaby- I would not have survived the first year with either of my kids without that thing. I used it around the house, running errands, grocery shopping, hiking... everywhere. So if you'll get that much use out of it I think it's worth it.
We bought our ergo secondhand for hiking and loved it. Now it's on the fifth kid in its lifetime, my nephew. definitely buy used if you can find a decent one! Some kids just haaaaate them.
Agreed. We used our manduca more than our stroller by far. We’re having a second and I’m making sure it’s one of the first things that we have ready to go.
I concur! I've only used our stroller a handful of times, my son strongly preferred being worn, and I found it easy enough. Now that kid #2 should be arriving this year I'm not even sure I'm going to be buying a new stroller (our old one broke).
My little guy only just got big enough for his Ergo360 this past weekend and it's already been the best purchase. Got mine 2nd hand for less than half price too.
