Baby Stuff: A No-Nonsense Shopping Guide to What to Buy, What to Borrow, and What to Avoid -- No Matter What Your Budget
This detailed guide tells prospective parents what they need to buy, need to borrow, and probably don't need at all in an easy-to-read-and-reference format. Written by an expert in baby retail, who spent years advising and listening to both parents and manufacturers, Baby Stuff names names in sharing an insider's secrets about which products are safest, most reliable, and most practical for a range of different lifestyles and budgets. Expert Ari Lipper has seen how virtually every baby product works in real life--not just in one family, but in thousands. In fact, Lipper's careful eye for safety has helped manufacturers make changes in products before problems start. With chapters on everything from Product Safety Regulation to Borrowing for Baby and product sections covering the spectrum from the Layette to Carriages and Strollers to Baby Carriers, Baby Stuff provides the authoritative, calming, and credible expertise every parent craves when approaching this anxiety-ridden process. The book includes a section on safety information and tips on products throughout.

Outstanding!

I found this book to be one of the best I've ever read on "baby stuff". I've bought copies for everyone I know. This book is definately worth buying!
Fairly good advice, but not the best.

This book is somewhat helpful to a new mother. However, I found the book, Baby Bargains by Denise & Alan Fields to be more useful.

This book was wonderful. We stumbled upon it while looking for consumer reports on baby strollers. As first time parents, we had really no idea what to look for in baby products. This book gave us a lot of insight and helped us to pick products that are not only cost effective but the safest and best for our new baby.
A must have for the clue-less mother to be

I found this book invaluable. So many people are telling me I must get this item or that item - It's great to hear from an expert what I definitely need, might need and dontt need. The author's price points and recommendations will help when I do make that trip to the baby store! I also found his advise on what's ok to borrow and buy used to be invaluable. I recommend this book to all new moms-to-be as a 'must have!'
