[quote=afx114]Heh thanks for the congrats and tips, all! Trust me, we’ve done our research. I spend a lot of time on this site called “Cribbington’s Baby-Almanac — San Diego Crib Bubble News And Analysis” and we decided that it was time to buy. The crib we got is all sorts of high tech.. it’s convertible, so as the baby grows we can convert it from a pseudo-bassinet to a real crib, and then to a daybed.
Our next planned purchase is a fully-electronic stroller (60mpg minimum), then if we have money left, solar panels for the crib.
In all seriousness, any stroller recommendations? We’re looking at something that doubles as a car seat and is reversible so that the baby can be facing either in or out. (sorry for continuing the threadjack.. oh, and we want our stroller to be earthquake-proof).

LOL – that made me chuckle.
Agreeing with FLU again.
For strollers – I wish I’d gotten the Peg Perego P3 with my first kid instead of the awful Graco (too heavy/bulky, not good for tall people.)
The peg was great – and if you have a second kid – the older one can stand on the little stand spot and “ride”. This was great for zoo trips when my oldest was 3, youngest was 1.
The handles are adjustable – and since my husband it tall (and I’m pretty tall) it was great to not have to hunch over to push it. Plus it folds up small.
I’m cheap… like super cheap… so I shopped for the previous years model – got it for about $200 less than the current model. It was still pricey – but well worth it.
