Baby Gear Showdown | Jamie Grayson

What is a baby gear showdown?

Shopping for a stroller, car seat, or other baby gear is one the most overwhelming

parts of early pre- and full-on parenthood. While the perfect double stroller or play yard or highchair will never exist, (because everyone has a different lifestyle), there are lots of great options available that will definitely make parenting a little easier!

Our episodes of Baby Gear Showdown are below with videos and links to shop - categorized by the type of product you want to know about. Our later episodes feature downloadable buying guides and comparison charts that you can save to your phone for quick reference!

We have partnered with Albee Baby - a family-owned specialty retailer serving new and experienced parents nationwide. Please consider Albee Baby when it comes to shopping for your baby gear! The customer service can't be beat, and our communities thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for shopping small.
