Baby gears come in many shapes and sizes and it is easy for a first-time parent to get overwhelmed as to what type of gear they will need to purchase. Start by checking out the baby gear at the child section of department stores or toy stores to understand more about the range of baby gear currently available on the market.
It would also be great to ask friends and family for tips and advice. This will speed up your decision-making on your purchases. Keep in mind that babies grow quickly, so only purchase the necessary gear. Car seats and strollers are on top of the list of important baby gear. It is also important to have a place to set the baby down such as a high chair or a crib. Changing tables are helpful as well for diaper changing.
When should you start buying baby gear?
You can start buying baby gear while in your second trimester. Set a budget and do your research, then make a shopping list of items to be purchased. This would ensure that you have done all the groundwork for your shopping spree. You should also keep an eye out for good bargains and promotions on sites such as Shopee and Lazada.
A car seat and stroller are one of the first baby gear you should purchase as you would need these baby gears for your little one to move around. Purchasing early would also mean that you can practice using them before your baby arrives.
