i.e a bed/crib/pack n play and a car seat/stroller thingy.
Seeing how babies are expensive endeavors, I've decided to look at our credit card points program to try and redeem you a Pack N Play as well as a Travel System. I am thinking I might get both of those from there, but I'm still doing a little bit more "research". Both these items are of the Graco brand, and that's supposedly a big and good brand for baby stuff, and I'm trying to be frugal and use points that are sitting there doing nothing anyway.
So here's the first one..
Graco Pack N Play Playard with Bassinet and Changing Table, Model #1749822 in Brentwood 9E00BWD ( pattern/color )
( at least that's what the picture in the "redeem your points" page shows )
and the next one:
Graco Quattro Tour Travel System in Marlowe ( pattern/color ) 7B10MLW3
( once again, that's what the picture supposedly shows )

BUT I am still trying to look at the different convertible car seats that would hold a child till it was 50 - 65 lbs
and get a separate stroller thingy, instead of getting one that's just an infant car seat that would have to be changed after a while. GAH DECISIONS DECISIONS!!!!! Oh well, if I redeem it from the Visa points, i won't have to pay for a toddler car seat for about another year... :P

That travel system is adorable. One way you can get a better idea is to go to Babies R Us and browse if you have one nearby (I had to go all the way down to Austin but there may be one closer to you). You might as well make a gift registry while you are at it and then friends and family who are farther away (hint hint) can get you things you want/need for Junior. Anyway-go and check out the seats-feel the padding and imagine you are a babie's butt. Hehehehe. You will e amazed at the differences between them. The travel system truly is the best option for stroller/car seat though. Mine have been lifesavers. As far as pack n plays-do the same thing-go and look at them before you make a decision. The padding in some is different, as are the attachments. Do you have a swing yet? I think we used the swing a million times more than that pack n play. (For sleeping I mean. My kids refused to sleep in the pack n play. They wanted to be snuggled up to mommy.) I can't believe it's only 10 more weeks!!!! Hugs!
I must say, that by the time a child is big enough to have a 50-60 pound car seat, the first one is pretty well worn and you would want a new one anyway. I don't know how many we ended up getting, but I will tell you it is certainly handy to have a stroller that holds your car seat. Even when they still fit in the baby carrier, they get rather heavy to carry around in it.
