Hey everyone!

As we get further along here I wanted to throw out a couple of first baby registry tips I wish I’d known about when doing my registry the first time around. Some of you have probably already finished this by now, but there’s still time to make changes.

The two biggest things while sitting down with my SO to go over what we needed/wanted for baby #2 was a double stroller and split screen or alternating screen camera for multiple bedrooms.

We didn’t even think about these things when our first one was on the way or we would have chosen more wisely the first time around.

So I just wanted to throw that out there for some of you who plan to have more than one and plan for them to be relatively close in age.

When considering a double stroller the more expensive “single stroller” options absolutely make sense to me now. I’ve been eyeing the Uppa baby vista and the bugaboo donkey 2 & 3. The reason I’m looking at these specifically is because they are single to double strollers and the largest seat options available if you will end up with a toddler and newborn like us without having to get something like a side-by-side bob.

The uppa baby converts to two tandem (and the sun shade slides up to allow more head room for a taller child) and the bugaboo converts to two side by side.

The city select is also another great conversion option, but if you are tall and will most likely have a tall child they may end up not being able to use the sunshade by 2yrs old. If I remember correctly, it also slides up, but not that far. The Uppa baby definitely allowed for a little more growth.

We had the Chico bravo and loved it and I still absolutely recommend it, but it was broken during our last plane travel at the start of the year. At that point we decided to get a wagon for the time being and it’s been a hit with our LO. The one we bought - the Jeep wagon also comes with a newborn car seat carrier attachment. So technically it is also a great option for toddler and babies. I definitely recommend it for those who do a lot of outdoor excursions. It has a full canopy sunshade and both sides have black out shades that attach and the front and back have netting shades that attach.

Like strollers, cameras can have single camera options and double camera options. So make sure to check that when reading reviews and deciding which one to get. Especially if you are choosing one that’s not WiFi connected.

Anyhow, just wanted to share. I hope this helps someone else! 😊

Feel free to add to it.
