What is the minimum amount of baby gear you would need for the first 6 months I live in a tiny place!?
I’m having a baby boy in August and was wanting to know what is the least amount of baby gear I can get by with. My friends are throwing a shower and I’m not sure what to ask for because my space is so small. (350 sq. ft small!) Would it be worth buying a high end stroller that doubles as a bassinet? (peg perego space model) Give me your ideas! Thanks so much!
I’d say get a travel system stroller/car seat set that way you have everything you need through toddler age.
As for a highchair, they make some that fold down to a very slim size, but I think folding and unfolding it every time would be a pain. They make the kind that strap into a normal dining room chair and they’re smaller. Also, if you don’t want to get a highchair right away you can just feed the baby in the car seat until he’s too big for it.
If he’s not going to sleep in your bed, I would opt for a pack n play sleep system. They’re much smaller (and cheaper) than cribs and can double as a play pen and travel bed. Some even have a built in fold away changing table. Very handy.
As far as a changing table goes, you could just use the top of a dresser you already have in your home.
That’s really all you NEED. If you want a swing, choose a table top travel swing so its small enough to put into the closet when you’re not using it. If you’re interested in a place to store the baby’s clothes separate from your own dresser, get one of those hanging sweater shelves that hang in your closet. The slots are definitely big enough for baby’s clothes and blankets and they run fairly cheap at target. Good luck!
