I found this book to be aesthetically pleasing due to its format and the photos of the items. I did however find the title misleading. I assumed that it was a more up to date Consumer-guide book. I would still suggest that you purchase Baby Bargains by Denise and Alan Fields and utilize this book for the pictures and more "filler" type of information. There are many original products that are not your basic baby items, which gave me some interesting nursery ideas.

I totally agree with the reader from Reading, MA. I bought this hoping it would have more updated information than the latest edition of Baby Bargains (which I ended up purchasing anyway.) Baby Bargains is a must-have guide for new parents. I take it with me to every baby store.

A thoughtful, well written book that gets you in a mind set towards logically thinking about how to deal with some of the material issues of parenting. I would think that this "un-preachy" guide will be of great use to a wide spectrum of parents-to-be, as well as grandparents and friends of the aforementioned. As a guide of products it's excellent, and restrained - but its great strength is as a giver of excellent and reassuring advice and thoughts for new parents, tying it in with the guide - in that regard, the Best of Everything For Your Baby is a quality standout in this field (and we have every book we could find in this category). Hopefully this will be updated regularly.

Compared to Baby Bargains, I thought this book was a total waste of time. It does not provide the depth of objective information i was looking for (and that Baby Bargains contains) such as comparisons to Consumer Reports and pointed feedback from a large cross section of parents, applicability of products to various lifestyles (city vs. suburban), or good options based on varying budget levels. It also does not provide the same level of information on where to find the products mentioned or alternatives for finding the same products at better prices. In my opinion, this "definitive one-stop" guide is a huge disappointment!

This is a great book - it's about an attitude - looking at all of the many products out there you can buy for your baby in different ways - the book allows you to look at things if you are budget conscious, or designer conscious or maybe you just want to look at items in multi-faceted ways. Each chapter has a great, thorough and informational section which preceeds the best of's. I like this book far more than baby bargains because I am looking for more than just a bargain - I am looking for the best I can affford for my child. This book really helps.

An excellent book for raising your baby in a careful environment. I especially apreciated the music and video reviews.
