I want a diaper bag that is functionable? I would like for it to look like a big purse or even a back pack not sure yet. I going to start looking but dont know where to start. Any suggestions?
Answer
It totally depends on how much you want to spend! For my first baby I used a small sized backpack and just stuffed everything in it, I thought it was pretty functional, though not really big. After my daughter was born a friend of mine gave me a Fluvial bag; they are not cheap($120-$160), however I am a huge fan! There are different styles but they all have the appearance of a purse and are quite stylish. They have an exterior that can be easily wiped down and fabulous pockets inside for everything you would need. I will use mine as a purse even after the kids are needing a diaper bag. Another great one, though still on the pricier side($120-ish), is a Go-GaGa. It is more of a messenger bag, but has an amazing strap that you can spread like a wrap over your shoulder to distribute the weight better. the nice thing is you can usually find these on ebay for cheaper than you can in a shop! If you are looking for a less expensive option try Babies'r'us, they have multitudes of styles and brands for a lot less money! Good luck and have fun!

Question for all you moms and dads out there?
JennaH
OK- I was wondering if there is any special things that you think are a must have when shopping for a baby? I know the crib, car seat, stroller, etc. But what other products did you find really helpful?
Where there things you bought or were given that were a complete waste of money? Like a baby robe?
Answer
One gadget that was used all the time was a vaporizer. This gadget sits on a table top, plugs into the wall, gets filled with water and emits a super fine mist of moisture into the air. I found that by adding a cup or so of Listerine to the water, I could kill germs and add moisture to the air at one time. Babies are miserable when they get colds, runny noses etc. This seemed to provide almost instant relief and let the baby sleep better. Any baby that is sleeping better lets the parents sleep better too!

Another good thing to get is a baby monitor... these are walkie talkie type gizmos that let's you put a small transmitter in the babies room and a receiver in the parents room or wherever. You get to hear everything that's going on in that room without havng to make constant checks in person. This gave us all kinds of confidence and the baby didn't have to start crying loudly to get somebody in there.

Still another item is a baby backpack... Strap this thing on, put the baby in it and you can do just about everything you used to be able to do. Babies seem to love being back there, doing things with you, and seeing things from your perspective with the security of seeing you right there with them.

If you really want to see them having fun... get a Johnny Jumper. This thing is a seat connected to a spring that attaches to the top of a door jamb. It's adjusted so the babies/toddler's feet barely touch the floor. When he/she pushes off with their feet the spring assists them up and their weight bounces them back down to their feet which just touch the floor. Hand/eye coordination (in this case, feet/eye coordination) is developed and they will sit there and bounce seemingly forever!

A baby gate is a must if you have areas of the house you just don't want the baby to enter. This thing slides open to squeeze into doorjambs or walkways. It is especially convenient to block off things like stairwells to keep a crawling baby from tumbling down the stairs.

A baby walker is a good things too. This is a baby seat mounted iinto a wheeled carriage that has a shelf of sorts in front of the baby. The babies feet stick out below and allow him/her to propel themselves all over the place. The shelf in front let's them have things to play with or their juice cup.

A subscription to Disney Rhyming Readers seemed to provide near endless reading material that both my kids absolutely loved. I must have reread stories from these hundreds of times. Enough so, that I started to make up my own story lines and substitute other rhyming words in place of the story's words. I don't know how we got a subscription to these... I don't even know if they are out of print but the kids loved them and so did we.

These things stick out in my mind after raising two very capable kids to adulthood. One owns and runs his own karate studio since he was sixteen and the other is an Olympic gold medalist swimmer that graduated high school a year early and is attending UC Berkeley on a full scholarship. You are reading words from a very proud dad!
