I have been a subscriber to Consumer Reports for many years, and I would never even think about buying a car or a major appliance without their advice. The Consumer Reports Best Baby Products guide offers just such advice and insight for new fathers and mothers expecting a baby. Whether your first baby, or the first one in a few years, Best Baby Products brings you up to date information on the latest products to make life safer and easier for the new baby.
It's All Inside
Consumer Reports Best Baby Products is in my view one of the most comprehensive books for new fathers to find information about various products of interest to them. From the most kid-friendly vehicles to baby backpacks to camcorders to cribs, new dads will find helpful information, evaluations and recommendations on name-brand products. If your partner is breastfeeding, she can find recommendations on the best breast pumps. If not, this book evaluates baby forumlas. Safe strollers, swings, high chairs and baby gates are all evaluated, and best buys are identified.Not Just for Babies and Moms
One of the things about this book I liked best was the recommendations for products that dads of new babies need and want. Looking for a great digital camera, video cam or SLR? You can find Consumer Reports recommendations here. So it's not just about baby—it's also about dad.So Much More than Products
The Consumer Guide Best Baby Products also includes helpful reference sections on things like babyproofing your home, financial advice on saving and spending with new families in mind, and a pediatric drug guide. I appreciated Best Baby Products' one-stop approach to information and resources for new parents.Conclusion
I was very impressed with Consumer Guide's Best Baby Products. I bought copies for my married kids, one with a year-old baby and one due in a few months. And I kept a copy for our family because we can't seem to control grandma's insatiable desire to buy baby products for our grandchildren. Any dad (or granddad) will enjoy this guide for everything for the new baby and his or her parents.
