Okay parents, you’ve done the easy part and the day is fast approaching when you will welcome your baby into the world. Perhaps the greatest joy known to man – and especially woman! – will be a life-changing moment.

So will the baby’s needs in terms of furniture, comfort and mobility. We believe that costs can be cut by buying in bundles to make the impact of your new arrival more affordable.

When preparing for a newborn in terms of furniture and buggies (or strollers, prams, get with the program new parents!), here are the essential purchases such as baby furniture bundles that you should consider for your Bundle of Joy:

Furniture:

Crib or Bassinet:

Crib: A safe, sturdy crib that meets current safety standards. Look for one with adjustable mattress height settings and bars spaced according to safety guidelines.
Bassinet: A smaller, portable sleeping option for the early months, often placed next to the parents’ bed for easy access during nighttime feedings.

Mattress and Bedding:

Mattress: Ensure it’s firm, fits snugly within the crib or bassinet, and is covered with a waterproof mattress cover.
Sheets and Bedding: Use fitted crib sheets that fit securely over the mattress. Avoid loose bedding (like blankets and pillows) in the crib to reduce the risk of suffocation.

Changing Table or Changing Pad:

Changing Table: A dedicated surface with storage for diapers, wipes, and other essentials.
Changing Pad: If space is limited, a changing pad can be placed on top of a dresser or other stable surface.

Dresser or Storage Unit:

Provides storage for baby clothes, diapers, blankets, and other essentials.

Rocking Chair or Glider:

A comfortable chair for feeding, soothing, and bonding with the baby.

Strollers etc. or whatever you call them!

Infant Car Seat:

Ensure its suitable for newborns and meets safety standards. Infant car seats are often designed to attach to compatible stroller frames, creating a travel system.

Stroller:

Travel System: A stroller that accommodates the infant car seat directly, making it easy to transition the baby from car to stroller without disturbing them.
Full-sized Stroller: Once the baby outgrows the infant car seat, a full-sized stroller provides more features like reclining seats, larger storage baskets, and the ability to use from infancy through toddlerhood.
Lightweight or Umbrella Stroller: Ideal for quick trips and travel once the baby can sit up independently.

Accessories:

Stroller Organizer: Provides convenient storage for essentials like diapers, wipes, and bottles.
Weather Shield: Protects the baby from rain, wind, and sun.
Stroller Blanket or Footmuff: Keeps the baby warm during cooler weather.
Cup Holder: Handy for holding drinks or small items.

Considerations:

Terrain: Choose a stroller that suits your lifestyle and terrain (urban, suburban, rugged).
Folding Mechanism: Easy folding and storage are practical considerations, especially for frequent use and travel.

Consumers should be mindful of Australian trading standards but these essential furniture and buggy items provide a solid foundation for welcoming a newborn and navigating daily life with a baby comfortably and safely.
