Matching Gear?
Are you matching your Travel system/stroller to your Pack & Play, and any other coordinating items?
If so, which pattern did you go with and what retailer?

Re: Matching Gear?
no, i didn't feel like everything had to match. you probably won't be using most things together anyway. instead, i went more by reviews on what was the best product (bru website, baby bargains)

I liked that set alot. However, I am one for coordinating everything. I feel like that sheep would look stupid with the safari/jungle theme.

I love this set and I think we are going to go with it...well 905 sure...hubby is a little stuck on the sheep and think maybe they look like lambs and lambs are girlish.

We are having a  and chose this because:
1 - I love it and thought it was very cute
2 - I figure if we have a  next time it is unisex.

Re: Matching Gear?
I did and it was so stupid!!! I ended up returning my swing that matched my carseat and pack n play.
I do not like my travel system and if I hadn't used to infant seat so much I would return that too.
I definitely would not match things if I had to do it over again. Being a BTDT mom it's just silly IMO.

Re: Matching Gear?
We wanted something we could use if we have a boy next. The only things we registered for that match are the car seat, stroller and pack n play. Its the Graco Sand Dollar pattern.
Blue is my fav color so I dont mind using the blue stuff for our daughter. Image Attachment(s):

Re: Matching Gear?
I only coordinated our infant car seat and the universal stroller base, since they're used together. Nothing else is in the same pattern.

Re: Matching Gear?
Nope, I see no need to match all that stuff. It's not like I'm going to be displaying it all together.

Re: Matching Gear?
At first I was obsessing over having things match but the patterns they had available in matching colors I wasn't so crazy about. Right now we have a travel system by graco that is a blue/green/yellow plaid and then a lot of stuff that is by FP Aquarium. So our travel swing, bouncer, and high chair all match. Once you have the baby and you've been doing it for a while you'll probably realize that matching doesn't matter as much as functionality.

Re: Matching Gear?
The only thing that matches is the infant seat and the stroller since I got a Travel System. My pack N play is Graco Colby pattern and my swing is the FP Aquarium swing.

Re: Matching Gear?
i tried, but have not been successful...
i decided to not go with the travel system so my infant seat and stroller frame will not match my pack 'n play, but i've gotten over it (it was hard )

Re: Matching Gear?
We didn't feel that everything had to match, but we ended up with the stroller, car seat and pack n play matching each other. We got the Graco in Windsor. It's not a travel system per se, but the car seat does insert into the stroller. The swing is a different manufacturer entirely. We chose the baby papasan swing. Image Attachment(s):
