[QUOTE="donna723, post: 531567, member: 1883"] I think the "convertible" seats are like what my grandson had, although he has a different one now. The same seat/carrier is used in both the car and in the stroller, and also as a baby seat for in the house. When Ethan was little, they would sit him in it on the dining room table to feed him. Then they could just pick up the whole thing like a basket (with him in it) and snap it into the frame in the car and it became his car seat. And the same seat snaps into the stroller frame to become a super nice 3-wheeled stroller. The 3-wheeled strollers are great because they ride very smoothly and are easy to manuver. These are nice because you can put them into the car, then into the stroller, then back again, all without waking them up to transfer them from one to the other. These systems are really nice but they are also VERY pricey and not a necessity. The "convertible" cribs are very nice too. The one Ethan has converts to a toddler bed, using the ends as the headboard and footboard and the same crib mattress. Then you can convert it to a regular double bed, using the two long sides as the headboard and footboard and a regular mattress and box springs. The style they got isn't "babyish" and they have the matching dresser and chest, so theoretically he could use the same bedroom furniture till he's grown. But they haven't done it yet. He just turned three and when he outgrew his crib, they got him a toddler bed that looks like the Lightning McQueen character from the Disney movie, "Cars"! But when he's ready for that double bed, they'll have it. Again though, these things are very nice to have but certainly not a necessity. This was more of a Christmas present instead of a shower present, but I started buying little baby things as soon as they told me that a baby was coming. I got all kinds of little basic things, anything I saw in the store I bought, even before they knew he would be a boy. I got lots of little socks, gowns, t-shirts, onesies, crib sheets, blankets, a little comb & brush set, a tiny teddy bear, a set of rubber duckies for the bathtub - all kinds of things. I started out buying things in gender neutral colors but then when we found out he was a boy, I started buying more blue things. None of the items were more than a few dollars each, bought over the space of a few months. I had at least 50 different items and wrapped each item in tissue paper, then put them all in a big gift wrapped box for Christmas. They LOVED it and had a great time unwrapping it all. And it provided a lot of those little basic things so they didn't have to go out and buy them. [/QUOTE]
