BABY ITEMS
Stroller- I got the uppababy cruz, and loved it for jerusalem, it fits in most small places. The basket is massive so i can take my entire house with it. I also got the bassinet that is sold separately.
https://amzn.to/2FV8Dsi- Cruz with Bassinet-to Israel delivery is about 226$ and 175$
https://amzn.to/2W9WCVL- Cruz without bassniet
I also got a travel stroller, because flying with the cruz is a little bit of a pain.
The mountain buggy nano, it’s great for everything, it can also fit on it almost any type of carseat and bassinet. ( it can also fit the cosco scenera which is amazing!)
Carseat link-cosco scenera next
Stroller link- (airline approved)- can lay flat

Lots of people also love the yoyo but i think that weight limit is only 15kg, so it cant take toddlers as much--but the fold is amazing!
People also like the City mini TOUR (airplane approved)
Car seat- the Doona, it is amazing the weight limit is 13KG and height is 80cm so A is a year and six months and still fits. I also got the Isofix , it’s not worth it if you don’t have the isofix. But it was great for doctor's appointments and when there is no parking.
The nunapipa infant carseat is the lightest one on the market.
0-3 months
SLEEP most important!!
-
Various options for sleeping ( personally bugaboo and uppababy have their bassinets approved for overnight sleep and that’s what i did)
-
Halo sleep sack its like a blanket sleeping bag ( it helps them feel warm and cozy)
-
Nested bean- Gently weighted to mimic the feel of your arms, Zen Sleepwear is designed to extend the Cuddle Effect™.
Zippade zip- as seen on shark tank! i think its great.
BEDROOM
Mobile
We have Tinylove mobile.
But i would recommend one with a mobile with a remote control ( makes life easier)
Changing pad ( there is nothing like this in Israel so it’s a must)
And there is a changing pad cover
For those that don't have a large kitchen i got this amazing drying rack for bottles!
Diaper bag-
Only skiphop, i had a JJcole diaper bag and lost a stroller clip and therefore can only recommend skiphop, i like the backpack because it’s easier to carry a baby in your hand with a backpack rather than side back..
If you don’t really need a diaper bag and just extra space, the saddlebag is great it doesn’t interfere with the recline on the stroller.
Bundleme, it’s a seat cover for the stroller. This was a lifesaver for the winter, we would put A in the stroller with a jacket and his legs would stay warm and sometimes he would cuddle inside it. ( in the summer you can find them on sale)
Bath pillow This was great it saved us space in our apt and we washed him in the sink for a few months.
the puj insert
and for babies that are sitting but still need support
Now looking back i got a folding bath tub from Shilav when he was six months, but i think i’d get a folding tub
Nursing pillow
I got a milega http://www.milega.co.il/
They are so fun to lay in.
Bottles
i liked the Avent natrual they were easier to wash. You also need a bottle sterlizer ( i had no idea that you needed one... )
Pacifier clips are amazing so they don’t fall on the floor!
Teething toy is Multi-surface teething makes this teether perfect for assisting in the eruption of front, middle and back teeth
Tinylove playmat is great for tummy time, and they can play and nap on it at least until 8/9 months ( another plus it fits perfect in the Joovy room2 playard playing the pack and play until he was 1 and a little, it was great so i could clean and cook!
Baby carrier,
I really liked the Babybjorn ONE
It is really helpful even today with A (1.5) it’s comfortable and easy to put on.
A lot of people like the Ergo Adapt and the new one is great because you don't need an insert.
Bouncer
For those of us where you can’t fit a swing this the fisher price bouncer is great option for entertaining your little one, mine loved sitting in them, and watch the washing machine.
this one i think is for smaller babies and can be brought in a suitcase.
the fisher price rocker is for older babies that can hold their head a little more and then play. It can also be a chair.
To keep the mattress clean , i can recommend this protector sheet pad.
High chair IKEA is best (IKEA ANTILOP Highchair with safety belt, white, silver color and ANTILOP Highchair white)
With the little insert that is blue and red strips that you blow up.
For feeding:
I got the munchkin bowls and they were awful, the Suction cup base did not work!
The nuk sippy cups are great to start with for water when they are old enough...
These fruit feeder are great, because you can let them hold it themselves and they just go on licking it
These containers are for the home made food that you make when they are from about 4 months
These bibs are great because they are not cotton and don’t have velcro so they can’t pull it off themselves!!!
I got the Boon spoons and forks they are super cool because they can bend towards the way you want to eat.
The bowls are great they stick to the high chair!
The 360 cups are great! I think we started using them about 8 months.
The squeeze eeeze is great from a little age, they can sip whatever you make , once they are older they can also hold it themselves! life saver!
bowl with lid for snacks and cereal and other little things that they love to spill this helps that
This one folds really small and is easy to assemble (can be carried on your back) also when you have a little baby this can protect from the jealous older sibling that likes stepping on them for fun or whenyou need to go to the bathroom, you can just pop them inside for a bit.
FOR WEDDINGS!!!
These earphones are great, until they can pull them off their ears its great

Colorful Baby Stacking
