I am not the biggest fan of shopping. Although it is not very apparent to those around me. To my wife, she may think that I love it because it takes me FOREVER to buy anything. But the truth is, I love the chase. I love trying to find the best thing for me in the situation. Whether it availability, price, colour or size, anything can affect the decision and it's usually more than one of these at a time. As an example, when looking for something as simple as socks, I will look online for options then go to three different stores before deciding which to purchase.
This process/approach does not bode well for the amount of purchases that will need to be made for my child. We're not talking about a pair of socks here. Most of these purchases will affect my child's safety.
As soon as the news comes across, one of the first things I do is hit the web to take a look at anything from car seats, to cribs, to booster seats trying to find the safest, or most compact or most highly rated products out there. Price is playing a very small factor in this decision as I want to ensure this little guy or gal is the safest that can be! Although, if the product goes on sale....
A friend of ours knows how much of a comparative shopper I am (mostly because she hears my wife complaining about it all the time), so she sent me a link to a comparative shopping site for baby items. I loved it!
I'll update as we make decisions on items and share the thinking that went into it.
