FISHER PRICE PAPASAN SWING - I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this swing. I wish they had one that would fit my 315 lb butt in it. It looks soooo comfy and cozy and Emma Leigh loves this thing. It can swing side to side like a cradle or front to back like a traditional swing. It has different choices of sound (I personally love the night noise option - with crickets chirping...)and it has 6 different speeds. It's a little fast at first for a newborn, but we've been putting her in it without the swing on and she still loves it. We haven't even gotten the bouncy seat out yet - the only place she goes outside of our arms is her swing, bassinet or carseat so far. Thanks to my good buddies for chipping in for this peice of gold! love you guys!
SOOTHIE PACIFIERS - We also switched pacifiers and that is helping a lot. I was hoping to go with the good old Nuk again as it was Julia's favorite, and we stocked up on them for Anna and she hated them, so we had a lot of unused ones. It appears that Emma Leigh is also less than thrilled with Nuks so we tried the Soothies and she LOVES it. She sitll hasn't quite caught on how to do it but she's getting better. It used to be that the only place to get Soothies was at birth in the hospital - but the First Years makes them now - AND they have a line of bottles that uses the same nipple. Rock on.
GRACO - SNUG RIDE INFANT CAR SEAT - We chose the Lindsay print - and we get compliments on it everywhere. I don't know whether we attached the canopy on wrong or not - but it is not very easy to move and considering how often you raise and lower the handle - it's in the way more often than not. We had an Evenflo before and never had that problem. As a car seat it's great, the only problem we have is that it's so close to the seat in front of it that it's hard to pull the handle to unlatch the seat from the base.
GRACO - DUO GLIDER STROLLER - We chose the Metropolitan style, so far - we love this stroller. At first it was super hard to maneuver - and then we realized the front brakes were on! Now it's a breeze. Emma's carseat above fits in it. It is a very awkward fit and it's almost impossible to see her in the seat because of the placement of the parent tray. The other annoying feature is that when the canopy is up on the back seat - it covers the parent tray. Other than those issues - I'd say this one is a winner. It's fairly easy to collapse and although it's huge (takes up the cargo bin area of our Honday Odyssey) it's smaller than some others. We chose this one because we wanted a front/back style instead of the side by side because of Anna. We didn't want her having lots of access to the baby. We also wanted to be able to use the infant seat. So - thanks to mom and dad for this - I think we'll have a couple years of good use out of this puppy!
So far that's about it for things we've used for the baby so far... :)

When comparing the Chicco Key Fit with the Graco Snug Ride Infant car seats, the drawback with the Graco seems to be that it lacks side impact protection. While comparing this Grace SnugRide Snuglock with the Chicco Key Fit at Target, they both say they have side impact protection. Is that new for the Graco SnugRide SnugLock? And do you think that makes it comparable to the Chicco KeyFit, as far as safety? Thanks!
