Baby Carriage

We chose the Bugaboo Fox 5. A bit expensive but it is a great investment if you plan on using it for a long time. This version can also be easily folded, which you need when you take it with you and it is great quality. They use recycled material.
A bit annoying but when you switch to the stroller, you need to upgrade to their performance raincover, the default one is useless.
Organizer + Changing mat

We will continue with the bugaboo, because this organizer is just great. It is a bit expensive but it fits the essentials and you can use it as a bag. You have everything at your fingertips and that is important as a new parent. We also really like their changing mat. The reason for that being is that it is thick and easy to clean. It is also a lot longer than many other on the market and that makes a difference.
We would buy an organizer (also used) and a changing mat or if you want a diaper bag as well, the bugaboo bag comes with a changing mat as well. The important thing is that the mat is big enough, thick enough and easy to clean and fold out.
Babynest

The one from Najell does an excellent job and it is popular for a reason. You can also buy it used, as it can be washed and they tend to remain as good as new after a lot of use.
Bouncer

Babybjørn is a classical and it simply works, it lasts for ages, so you can buy them used and wash the cover.
Bedside crib + duvet

We like the Maxi-cosi, but you need to make sure that what you buy fits in your room. For duvet, we are big fans of Cocoon company, and their kapok duvets are wodnerful. Make sure that you buy organic materials, as those are the most healthy. GOTS certified and a nice pattern that you will love to look at.
Car seat

We like the Joie i-spin. You can use it from birth until they are 3-4.
You can also get one that you can easily remove from the car and carry with you. These you can only use for a limited time, because babies grow fast and they get heavy, so it ahs a limited life. That is why we would recommend to use the lift and buy a car seat that you can use for a few years and you don't need to change car seat after the first year. Check which car seat matches your car. You can also by them used but check them carefully.
