Baby Bargains, 7th Edition: Secrets to Saving 20% to 50% on baby furniture, gear, clothes, toys, maternity wear and much more! (Baby Bargains) description
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 |

Buy Consumer Reports (Baby) Instead
|
| In theory, this book sounds like a great idea. However, in my opinion it is actually a terrible idea to own or use it. I purchased this book when I gave birth to my son. I figured it would tell me about all of the great products I could buy him with saftey reviews as well as opinions of how well the product works. Yet, the only thing this book provides the consumer with is top picks on baby products based on price and parental opinions. If a certain baby product was a little more expensive than the other brands on the market, the authors of this book wouldn't even consider reviewing it. In my opinion, just because an item is cheap, doesn't mean that the item is a best buy. Yet this seems to be the theme of the entire book. This book gave great marks and reviews (according to price range and opinion of parents) to baby products that did very poorly on the Consumer Reports Tests. One should not buy this book thinking that they took safety into consideration when making their recommendations, because they did not. I would not recommend this book, as it is misleading, and potentially dangerous. I would put that money towards the Consumer Reports Baby Book, for I would rather purchase a product because it passed safety tests with flying colors, than give my child a product that was given a high rating just because it was cheaper than the rest of the available products. |
