Agree with you on the ikea crib and lovevery playmat. I got both ikea cribs on Facebook which saved me a trip to the store. Also, I LOVE the ikea highchair. It doesnt come with a footrest but i got one on etsy for about $20 - still a lot less than most others

Do you have a review of the Chicco Bravo?

[@thestrollermom]

I don’t have a review of the Bravo at this time, sorry!

Best Disney stroller for older kids? I’m leaning towards second hand BOB but my concern is the ones second hand are usually the ones that were recalled before 2016, I believe. They don’t change and last forever but I don’t want to end up with the one that the wheel falls off of 😂

Also, as a twin mom…they’re 24 now but I also have 4 other children. I would never ever recommend a front/back stroller. Ever. Some of the worst fights were with the front/back strollers. Always go side/side. Over the years, I think I’ve had just about every stroller imaginable. For infants, click and go strollers are hands down the best. I am a total baby brand mom but when it came to this hack, I didn’t care. There’s nothing like taking their car seat out and clicking it onto a simple frame. And the basket under the snap n go is huge. I really don’t understand anyone paying thousands on these stupid strollers and end up hating them. Also, skip a crib. Use the pack n play. Couple that with the ikea high chair and you can save your money for experiences and cute clothes for them 😂 All unsolicited advice from a seasoned mom of six ❤

​@@Eliza_sun Good tips! I love side by sides as well!

I would reach out to Bob and see if they have replacement kit for the recalled ones. Usually they have a solution.

We bought several glass bottles from facebook marketplace that included a drying rack and a bottle warmer. We planned on getting a sterilizer and new nipples. Would you still recommend buying new despite that?

[@thestrollermom]

@@texassasquatch6467 I think glass is fine, I would do new nipples and sterilize like you mentioned!
