Windsor Peak Press Product Details |
Book Description
In 2004, an estimated 4 million toddlers will take their first steps, say the word "no," and cost their parents in excess of $2,000 in food, clothing, daycare, and other necessities. Toddler Bargains is for people who want the best for their little ones but don't want to pay top dollar. It lists bargains and deals on a wide range of child-related products and services, from bedroom decor to the latest toys to swimming lessons. Parents are given key information in chart form such as ratings of car booster seats, as well as toy, book, and CDROM recommendations by age. In addition, there is advice on kid-friendly destinations for family trips, safety news on a variety of items, and a list of the best bets for eating out with children. This edition has been extensively updated, with new information on websites, outlets, and freebies.

Summary: 2007 edition available as an eBook 2007-05-08
Comment: I haven't had time to read through it yet. But the Baby Bargains book was pretty helpful (though too dependent on the anecdote in some cases). I'm hoping this will be similar.
I downloaded the 2007 edition from the Baby Bargains website since the print version offered at Amazon is 3 years out of date. The eBook is in PDF format and readable by any computer with a recent version of Adobe Acrobat Reader. It's also cheaper than the paperback.
On the plus side you can do immediate text searches within the book and you could print out just the relevant info for your shopping trips. On the negative side, you won't have a copy to casually flip through. Everytime, you'll need to boot up your computer or PDA (or PSP running a homebrew PDF reader).

Summary: This sure ain't no bargain 2006-05-28
Comment: I hated the baby bargains book but this one is WORSE. My pediatrician gave it a hands down and his only comment was "a few authors trying to make a buck."
They obviously have no research in this book because they recommend products that are not even age appropriate. These authors have little credibility in my eyes and according to other reviewers, it seems the same. I was never a bargain shopper, really, I mean who is unless you have to be! But, if I was, I don't see this book as a bargain.

Summary: Good resource 2006-03-08
Comment: While we did not use this book as much as we did the Baby version, it still had some good information. The companion website is also invaluable.

Summary: Great book to have if you want to be knowledgeable about paractical toddler products 2005-08-09
Comment: A great book to have if you want to be smart about what to buy, when there are so many baby products out there. Please note that this is for toddlers aged 2-5. If you have a younger child, it's better to buy a "Baby Bargains" book. Great info on various brands and ratings of both domestic and imported baby gear and apparel, including clothing, shoes, strollers, etc. Some of the information is not necessarily about saving money, as the authors also review posh items, but they also give you great tips on when to buy discounted stuff and get brand name things for less. Overall, a useful book.
