If you are now shopping and preparing for the arrival of your little one you are probably feeling a bit over whelmed by the number of items you need and the huge choice. I remember breaking into a sweat trying to pick out the perfect car seat!!:) It also feels like the spending spree will never end and well, it doesn't!. You will spend a small fortune on a fabulous pram and before you know it you will need to buy a light buggy for traveling and whizzing round the city....which I agree is a must have! We got the Maclaren which everyone seems to rave about so expecting big things! Tip: compared to Zurich it is half the price in London...so plan a shopping trip to London!
There is also an endless amount of activity equipment: play mat, swinging, bouncy, feeding chairs etc to select from...although I would definitely buy a play mat first. Sebastian has been on his mat every day since day one! So you get your moneys worth there! Have a look at Nattou for some colour friendly combinations although the experts are not lying when they say babies like bright colours, so if you can handle it best to get something fun. Fisher Price is always a winner!

Overall it is fantastic if you can borrow from a friend or family. Later on you will end up lending your things so best to share share share! You then have a few items to rotate plus they don`t need them for long and if you have a baby like Sebastian he will out grow everything fast!
I just borrowed a Baby Bjorn chair, to complement my swing chair, which I have to say is pretty fantastic! It is super light so you can take it to friends who dont have child friendly houses or carry it round the house so you are able to shower and know he is safely sitting outside the door:) It has different height levels and bounces which sends him to sleep, when they get a bit older they work out how to bounce them selves. Bonus!
Well that just touched the surface....play pens, baby carriers, feeding chairs...and the list goes on.. but hopefully this helps so far. Happy shopping!
