Blogging Mamas - Baby Gear Favorites!

There are so many amazing products out there is the world of baby gear, it can be hard to navigate and make decisions.  While I love exploring as many of these as I can, the right product and the best products can be very subjective and situational based on where you live, size of your living quarters, your needs & activity level, your lifestyle, budget and so on... I thought it would be fun to share more than just my own opinion for once, so I've asked some of my blogging mama friends to weigh in!  I've asked them to do the impossible, and pick their 5 favorite items!  So check it out- this is NOT sponsored by any brand, just honest opinions from experienced moms!

Here's my picks- (note I hate picking just 5)!

1. Beco Gemini (really I could put several more carriers)
2. UppaBaby Vista (this is really hard because you know I love to jog with my Baby Jogger Summit X3, the ease of the City Mini... but the Vista was my first love and a great all around stroller)
3. 4Moms mamaRoo (rockaRoo is also pretty great)
4. Fisher Price Rock 'N Play - my tiny babes with reflux loved the comfort, curves, and incline of this; it was truly a life-saver.  When put down, this is one of the only places my little guy would  sleep for the first 2 months
5. aden + anais Swaddle Blankets (How could you not love these? They are lightweight breathable and have SO many different uses... we also used various easy swaddles quite a bit, but these top my list because of their versatility)
