Customer Reviews

Outstanding!

I found this book to be one of the best I've ever read on "baby stuff". I've bought copies for everyone I know. This book is definately worth buying!

Fairly good advice, but not the best.

This book is somewhat helpful to a new mother. However, I found the book, Baby Bargains by Denise & Alan Fields to be more useful.

A MUST HAVE FOR EXPECTING PARENTS

This book is absolutely amazing! Tells you what you really need and what stores make you think you need. A must have for expecting parents!

Very informative and helpful.

This book was wonderful. We stumbled upon it while looking for consumer reports on baby strollers. As first time parents, we had really no idea what to look for in baby products. This book gave us a lot of insight and helped us to pick products that are not only cost effective but the safest and best for our new baby.

A must have for the clue-less mother to be

I found this book invaluable. So many people are telling me I must get this item or that item - It's great to hear from an expert what I definitely need, might need and dontt need. The author's price points and recommendations will help when I do make that trip to the baby store! I also found his advise on what's ok to borrow and buy used to be invaluable. I recommend this book to all new moms-to-be as a 'must have!'
