Baby Stuff : A No-Nonsense Shopping Guide for Every Parent's Lifestyle Book

Every day, parents tell Ari Lipper which baby products are "must-haves," which are purely optional, and what they really want when it comes to style, value, and expense. The manager of Albee's, a sixty-year-old baby-goods store that has become a New York institution, Ari Lipper has seen how virtually every baby product works in real life—not just in one family, but in thousands. And Lipper's careful eye for safety has helped manufacturers make changes in products before problems start. Now he shares an insider's secrets about which products are safest, most reliable, and practical for every parent's lifestyle and budget.

This invaluable guide shows new parents, living on a variety of budgets, whatto buy for a new baby--from bassinets to bottle warmers--and what to pass on. 224 pp. Targeted ads & national publicity. 50,000 print.
