I remember how overwhelmed I was when I started my baby registry. There are so many options! It took me three days just to decide on a stroller! I mean, who knew that you need an umbrella stroller, and an infant caddy stroller, and a Bob? (Well, you don’t need all three but I sure did love my caddy stroller that went with the infant seat, and I use my Bob stroller daily.) So I want to share those essential baby items that will last you well into toddler-hood.

I will probably do a second post on items that are great for the first year, but this post focuses on items that will last you well into the second year. These are the items that I use often and don’t regret purchasing. (As an aside, these are all links to Amazon because to be honest, that’s where I buy most of my stuff and that’s also where I registered.)

Let’s start with some basic essential baby items, shall we?
