Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

My daughter isn't sure if she should try to get all the pieces to match. Some patterns don't come in all the things she needs.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

I did not register for everything coordination/matching.
I did a ton of research and read the Baby Bargain book and based on all that information some brands did better than others in different catagories so I registered based on that information rather than things matching.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

I got a matching swing and pack and play. My bouncer was different.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

Nope, only thing that is the same is the swing and highchair.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

No they were all different.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

I stuck with the same theme with some stuff but more because I liked it and not because it matched. I went more on what I liked and what was a good product.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

We registered for matching travel system, pack-n-play and high-chair. We just really liked the brand and the pattern.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

i got stuff that "went" together but not all the matching set

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

High Chair, swing, bouncer and jumperoo were the same pattern, but they are all still a little different. It's the rainforest pattern by FP.

We just really loved it!

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

We didn't get any matching items.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

My pack-n-play, highchair, infant car seat and stroller match. I registered for a different swing.

I just like the pattern. There wasn't anything else that was gender neutral that we agreed on (we didn't want everything to be pink for any future children).

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

I did - stroller, car seat, pack n play, high chair and swing were all the same pattern. And they coordinated with my living room, which I didn't realize until after DD started using the swing.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

I thought at first that everything had to match. I quickly realized that functionality / performance is MUCH more important. I did try to stay away from glaring patterns

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

I didn't with the exception of the portable swing & bouncer.

DH wanted them to match - I think he only wanted them to match because they were both next to each other in the store & he argued that they "go together".

This is a perfect example of "picking your arguments"

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

The only things that I have that match are the jumperoo, bouncy seat and high chair. My swing matched as well but, I exchanged it for one that plugged in.

I didn't go with a travel system so I couldn't find anything to match my carseat.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

the only things that match are my pack and play and travel system. i picked stuff based on reviews and ratings.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

we originally registered for everything matching, but ended up exchanging the pack n play for a diff one and the bouncy seat to a better model. We kept the matching car seat and stroller and swing.

Re: Are you registering/buying matching swing, pack n play, etc?

My pack and play and swing match just because I liked them both. Both Graco so both rated well.
My car seat, high chair etc are all different patterns and brands.
