Great Product

Great Product, very helpful in researching baby products. I always trust consumer reports and their information is well written and very useful.

MUST have for a first time mom or any mom

No this book doesn't tell you to go out and buy this specific stroller or crib or car seat but it does review what things to check for while you are looking. There are just way too many choices out there for them to pick one (or a couple) item from each category and tell everyone to buy that item. What works for one person may not for another. I found this book very helpful. I'm going to be a first time mom in 3 months and every time I walk through the baby aisles in the stores (or online) looking at baby supplies my head would spin from the variety and quantity of products out there. How on earth can people choose! Of course we all want what is best for our babies! I go to consumer reports when I want to make a major purchase so when I found out they published a book on all their baby products I was relieved. Nothing is more important to me than having safe, reliable products for my baby. I am so glad I got it. The book reviews everything from cribs to car seats to pacifiers and bottles, bathtubs and beyond. It also discusses what NOT to get (i.e. some products that have not been deemed safe) which is equally important. I will be going to register for my shower with this book in my hand. There is a baby basics checklist in the beginning on which I have been taking notes as I read (and sometimes re-read) this book. It will make the registering a much easier process. I am buying this book for all my friends who are pregnant! Good luck to all the new moms and dads!

The most helpful book for baby products bar none

In picking out the items for our new baby, my husband and I were confronted by a lot of choices as well as a lot of confusing information. We picked up the consumer reports guide and got clear and unbiased answers to our questions. This book made our choices much clearer and easier and allowed us to choose our crib, stroller, and highchair (among other items) with confidence. the information is presented clearly and concisely. I cannot recommend it highly enough. This is the only book you will ever need. I know that I could not have done without it. I'm so glad I picked this book up.

Great book for a new mom

I found this book extremely helpful in picking out new baby gear. I was really stressed about what to buy but found this book a fantastic resource. It has all kinds of information about the various types of products, as well as what not to buy. It also has great information in the appendix about baby health. I would recommend this book to any first time mom.
