Not Necessarily "Bargains", Feb 18 2002
This review is from: Baby Bargains: Secrets to Saving 20% to 50% on Baby Furniture, Equipment, Clothes, Toys, Maternity Wear, and Much, Much, More! (Paperback)
This book is an good resource for rating the various brands of cribs, nursery furniture, baby clothing, maternity clothing, monitors, toys, bedding, etc... While I wouldn't exactly call it a "bargain" book, it does have information that is useful when on the hunt for baby goods. Then again, you don't really want to buy the bargain baby furniture to compromise your baby's safety, it's just common sense to forgo the $1000 plus cribs that are out there and purchase something more reasonable. This book will help you determine what you deem to be reasonable for your indicated budget. It's nice in that it features all price ranges from high to low. Again, as one would expect, those that are highly recommended are in the mid to higher price range. How high you want to go is entirely up to you. There are some very obvious suggestions in how to save money, such as going to outlet stores for clothing. Overall, it contains good information nicely packed into one book. Be sure to have the most current edition!

If you're having a baby, you need this book, Jun 3 2004

This review is from: Baby Bargains: Secrets to Saving 20% to 50% on Baby Furniture, Equipment, Clothes, Toys, Maternity Wear, and Much, Much, More! (Paperback)
This book was my bible when I was accumulating baby things both before and after my daughter was born. It helped me figure out which car seat, stroller and play yard to buy and helped me figure out what I needed versus what the store's registry list said I needed. So far, there's only been one item that we bought that was recommended by the book but we didn't like (a high chair). Beyond the money we saved, we saved tons of time because this book has it all. When we registered for our baby, we spent only two hours because I had marked the book as to what we needed. Denise and Alan Fields do a great job whether you want to read the book cover to cover or just use bits and pieces as they come. I kept on referring to the book throughout my daughter's first year. Without it, we would have spent more, bought more and bought the wrong things. I would highly recommend this book to anyone having a baby!
