My biggest takeaway when it comes to what you need for the baby years is to keep it simple. Here are my recommended on the go, travel and car items. Since most of these are high ticket items I do recommend registering for the next stage of what you need as wel (for example the next size car seat). I’m also including the three strollers we’ve had and loved as a family of four: minu travel, joovy caboose for two littles and now the jeep double as we are toddlers and walking.
