Our Nuna Pipa car seat was great. We switched her into a Diono Radian something-or-other around 10mo old.. it's also good, but it's pretty huge when rear-facing. Good thing my wife's short.

edit: you won't need it yet, but highly recommend the $30 high chair from ikea.

I will never waste my money on Miller or Lincoln again. Great to have a welder after being without one for 6 months.

After a lot of different baby shit, I have decided that if Ikea or Graco sells it, that its not only cheaper, it's actually better.
Ikea $90 crib converts to bed as well.

One thing I've never done is welding and I sure wish I could add it to my repertoire but the expense of doing so just doesn't make sense for me.

You can buy a small mig or stick welder for pretty cheap now days. The China brands have come a long ways in a short time. Of course it’s always handy to have a friend with a welder you can use and learn on. Tig welding is very relaxing to me.

Went thru this exact same struggle with our diono rainier rear facing in our q5 when our son was 9 months old. Front passenger seat was horrible to sit in. After a week we gave up and just made it front facing. I know they recommend to wait til at least 1 year to switch to fwd facing but we just couldn’t handle it

We are expecting our first baby very soon. Due in February.

Bought this today on sale (first major purchase for the baby):


Thankful that there is a store similar to Kacz Kids right near my office. Staff was super knowledgeable and the place was very quiet.

Will go look at crib + dresser + car seat tomorrow. I think that will be it for major items. Rest of the small stuff we will get later from Amazon/baby shower/maybe a few visits to the kids store again.

hahah nice buddy, how time has flied. now we're shopping for baby stuff.

we bought a stroller too, wasnt baller enough to buy a upparbaby. got a Peg Perego instead.

Picked this up at Costco yesterday. Pretty good deal @ $400. It's just for a second tv in our upstairs room.

Nah get a crib that converts to a bed later on

This is the route we went with, lets see if it pays off in the long run. Ours(West Elm and solid wood) converts to a double bed, so it should last a long time.

Those are generally not a bad machine for the home shop,i've tried one,they weld fine. The big red and blue brands though still have some features that make them a little more versatile. I looked at those before buying my dynasty, a big one for me was a machine that would run on 480v. I've run the dynasty on 347v single as well.
Silfossing for years was a good introduction to welding with both hands.

I bought an Everlast Tig earlier last year and have been extremely extremely impressed with it. I've only ever had Miller, but they truly are very comparable now. Looking now at the Powerpro 205Si from them, as I seem to be doing more sheet metal and having a plasma would be nice. Crazy you can get a 200 Amp AC/DC Tig, with plasma and stick for under 2k from them.

Bought one for my first daughter 11 years ago and still use it, just converted it back to a crib for our newest addition, dunno if an ikea piece would last this long

I picked up a 110v Hobart 140 welder a few years back and it does flux and gas welding. For all the stupid little garage jobs I do its been great.. Only paid $200 for it too.

You can buy good quality cheap mig welders all day long now.

It's amazing how you can get pretty solid TIG welders for bargain prices these days. I learned on a Dynasty but there was no way I could justify the price for a home-gamer like me. $775USD for a Primeweld 225 and it's a better welder than I am. Pedal sucks but you can upgrade to one from Everlast for $140, I just modified the stock one to be more comfortable.



That's maxed out on 1/4"-wall DOM, I probably wouldn't try anything thicker but it handles it fine.
Pardon the booger in the middle, I need to work on my downslope timing.

Wow, looks to be in great shape for a 8 year old car.

You know you're a true baller when you're surprised by how good an 8 yr old vehicle looks?! Wtf lol

Either that or you're a typical female who never washes your car.

That's good you found one on sale.

Great stroller and the bassinet really came in handy ( up to 4 months for us)

Managed to get Lowes to price match less 10% to Home Depot/Amazon's $600 sale price for $558 out the door. Not too shabby.

The uppa baby is great. We have it along with the mesa car seat, so easy going back and forth. Best baby $ money we have spent. We have since added the adaptors so we can have the toddler and newborn on the stroller, really slick.
