January 28, 2009: I got this as a way to help me through the maze at Babies 'R Us! I'm so glad I did. It does not just tell you what you should buy and what you shouldn't... It actually explains the items that they tell you are not worth buying. It's not just a "do not buy this!" they give you the pros and cons to getting the item so you can decide for yourself if it is something you may want/need. It is definitely better than asking someone at the store! I've discovered that most sales people at big name stores do not have much in-depth knowledge on their items.
