Book Description:
One of the little details of having a baby that is sometimes forgotten is the cost. In this comprehensive guide, Denise and Alan Fields show how to keep these costs manageable. This newly revised, updated and illustrated edition covers such topics as how to avoid wasting money with baby clothes, and which brands are best; the truth about strollers, and which are the wisest choices; the ten best baby gifts (along with the five worst); name brand reviews of toys, monitors, high chairs, latch car seats, and diapers; and much more. Baby Bargains is the best selling guide to the very best deals on all of baby's needs. It includes everything necessary to turn bewildered, cash crunched parents into savvy bargain hunters. /Content /EditorialReview EditorialReview Source Amazon.com Review /Source Content Congratulations, you're expecting a baby! What you may not be expecting is all of the requisite gear you 'need' to look after your dear bundle. Fear not. Denise and Alan Fields, authors of <i>Bridal Bargains</i>, are here to tell you what's super and what's silly, and how to find it at the best price. You'll learn all about how (and where) to shop for a crib and dresser (including how to get European styling at reasonable prices), what you need in bedding and what can be skipped (a hint: no baby requires the $200 quilt!), which clothing brands are safest and least expensive, and how to shop for monitors, toys, car seats, strollers, books, videos, and more. The authors have field tested every major brand (and several of the minor ones), and they provide star ratings and annotations at the end of every chapter. A helpful feature in each chapter called 'Wastes of Money' will steer you away from $35 Baby Air Jordans and frilly diaper stackers that match your bedding. If that's not enough, they offer a money back guarantee: If the book doesn't save you at least $250 in baby expenses, they'll refund the price of the book. Well researched and written in a witty and comfortable tone, <I>Baby Bargains</I> should be required reading for every safety and money conscious parent to be. <I> Rebecca A. Staffel</I>
