Budget-Minded Mama

It’s an age-old question: “How can something so tiny take up so much space?” Even though it’s actually your baby’s stuff that will be taking up so much space, baby gear is a fact of life. Picking it out can be a lot of fun, though! If keeping costs down is a priority for you (or your friends and family who will be buying from your registry), you can definitely still find some quality baby gear on a reasonable budget. Here are some of our favorite picks for baby gear of all kinds.
