Editorial Review:
Oh baby! With the average newborn racking up $6000 for the first year alone, expectant moms and dads need all the creative cost-cutting ideas they can find. Baby Bargains is the answer. Inside, parents find detailed ratings and reviews of baby gear, plus handy charts that compare brands and models.
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 Bridal Bargains, 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, Baby Bargains should be required reading for every safety- and money-conscious parent-to-be. --Rebecca A. Staffel

The Bible for new parents!:
This book was the best baby purchase we've made! It helps you wade through the hundreds of baby products that are on the market. It presents the information in an easy, objective manner. I highly recommend it to all people who are expecting a child.
New Parents' Buying Bible:
This comprehensive book has been a lifesaver for my husband and me, who are going to be first-time parents and are among the first of our friends to have kids. Having ZERO knowledge of baby products, the first time we walked into Babies R Us we were like deer in headlights, with no clue where to begin - we left without buying anything even though we knew we needed so many things. This book has helped us navigate our way through the overwhelming variety of products and brands, enabling us to make sound... more info
I am a big fan of this book:
This is my first pregnancy and I am being bombarded with product advice from friends and family members. While I respect their thoughts and opinions, I find myself relying more heavily on the reviews and information contained in this book. This is because the book is based upon feedback collected from thousands of new parents as opposed to a handful of individuals. There is strength in numbers. In addition, the book has opened my eyes to a variety of helpful hints and tips that I had not previously... more info
Incredibly helpful:
This book was incredibly helpful to me in selecting items for my baby registry and nursery. It is more specific and useful than the Consumer Reports book that I also bought.
