Three Practical Baby Shower Gifts

When your friend is having a baby you want to help them prepare for their new arrival. You've helped her shop for prenatal vitamins, you found her the perfect invitations for her party, and you're beyond excited for your friend to open your gift at the shower. You don't want to buy your friend something that's cute or expensive, but not very practical or useful. Bronzed baby shoes, expensive designer outfits, and joke gifts may be fun to open but their usefulness disappears after everybody has had a good laugh. If you want to get your friend a gift you know she'll love and use, read this article for some useful gift ideas.

Car Seats

Running errands with a baby can be stressful for parents. Along with worrying about having everything you need and making sure the baby is ready, parents often worry about their car being safe enough for their children. Some people debate the usefulness of car seats for children above the age of four, but car seats are an absolutely must for babies. Skip the car seats with the cute and colorful designs and pick one based off of its durability and safety features. Since there's nothing worse than running late for an event and trying to wrestle with your baby's car seat, you should also try to find a model that makes it easy to put the baby in and out.
