Baby Registry (aka, how the Price Gun makes you feel empowered)

So we spent the last 2 days at Target and Baby R'US looking for stuff to put on the baby registry. Small items, big items, everything... She was just scanning them in. I was most interested in the baby car seat, cart (AKA stroller)and the diaper bags. They seem to be the coolest stuff of all the items we saw.

We were trying to find matching Graco seats and strollers and I think we found out that would work. It wasn't too bulky and it folds up pretty well. Not too sure what the model number was , but it was Gray and Blue. I noticed one thing about those baby carriers that attaches to the stroller. They don't necessary clip-fit in both ways. That must be the dumbest design ever. How difficult can it be to design another catch on the other end of the seat? The seat can do a 360 is there was a hard enough impact on the end without the catch.

The baby diaper bags were the next thing that caught my attention. Some of them were pretty slick. Maybe I'll turn the baby bag into a laptop bag when the baby's done with it. I like the magnets that secure the flaps of the bags. Makes it easy to reach in and reach out, and still have a certain level of discretness. All the bag needs is a few modifications, and it will be field-ready for Urban-Survival.

I'm thinking of making a wireless baby video/sound monitor. Get a few webcams, hook it up to the network, maybe have live internet videos... sounds like a fun project. Maybe it can double as a home security system.
