Our First Purchase for Baby

Russ was out of town taking care of work stuff and the night before he came home I decided to start researching baby products.  I came across BabyGizmo.com, a site dedicated exclusively to ratings on baby products.  They have written reviews as well as video reviews, which I always find very helpful since you can see the product in action.  Baby products can be daunting to a first timer with no experience like myself.  My goal in shopping for baby is to try to spend my money wisely by making a good decision out of the bazillion choices out there.

For some reason I honed in on strollers.  I read some reviews, watched some videos, and finally saw one that really caught my eye:  the Britax B-Ready stroller.  One huge selling point for me was that it can be configured to carry two children, which would come in handy for any future children.  The reviews were great and Britax happened to be having a 'buy the B-Ready, and get an accessory free' deal.  The last day of the deal was the very next day (the day I was picking Russ up from the airport), and the choice of accessories were between a car seat, a bassinet, or a second seat.

I picked Russ from the airport and convinced him to go to the BuyBuyBaby store in Atlanta where we scoped out the stroller and car seat.  The price was pretty steep in store, so I did some research and found that I could buy it on Amazon and still get the free accessory for about $100 less.  We went home and purchased the stroller online and opted for the free car seat (which is compatible for use in the stroller).

So without further adieu, here it is......our first purchase for baby, a Britax B-Ready stroller (and Britax Chaperone car seat):
