Call me paranoid, but recently I've changed all my plastic feeding bottles, baby bowls and utensils to glass and stainless steel ones, as I read recently that even BPA-free containers aren't as safe as they're marketed to be. My pram is a lightweight that can be conveniently folded and placed in the car boot. But yes I do try to avoid getting sucked into the consumerist trap. As for second-hand stuff, I'm personally fine with used baby clothes and toys, and I've a preference for simple, traditional toys instead of those with flashing lights and loud sounds (although I have a couple of those). You'll get gifts, so there's no need to rush to get these things.Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406223623869440728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-32349812138474448712014-08-06T10:48:51.274-07:002014-08-06T10:48:51.274-07:00I agree!! we are surrounded by so much stuff that ...I agree!! we are surrounded by so much stuff that is not necessary - that probably actually impedes quality of life. I find it kind of depressing sometimes, although I am as vulnerable to (some kinds) of marketing as anyone. thanks for the encouragement!torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-4972530312991096122014-08-06T10:40:59.149-07:002014-08-06T10:40:59.149-07:00I really dislike over consumption & I think we...I really dislike over consumption & I think we've done a good job at only buying what we really need.

I'm about to do such a list myself, although some of the parameters are different from yours (like, we will most likely move in 1-2 years, only that we have no idea where). I certainly like the minimalist approach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-83188486032346310442014-08-05T10:38:49.260-07:002014-08-05T10:38:49.260-07:00thanks for the stroller suggestion!

You should check out the Baby Jogger City Mini stroller if you want something compact with great reviews- also you can get the 2012 model on Amazon for almost half price and the main difference from the 2014 model is only color choices.
