Where do we start? (Based in SG)

Hi everyone! I'm a to-be dad in May 21. Could be a bit early, to make things easier for my wife (actually both of us) when it's time to start, I thought of doing some research on the various items that need deciding ahead of time. Some questions please! On stroller, carriers, car seats and the like: Where's a good place in Singapore where we can look at a large variety to first whittle down on what we like and don't please? We did think of ordering some items from TB, but thought to first look around in stores to have a sense. On delivery location: We have in mind where we may want to deliver based on word of mouth, but thought to also look around and compare. Our gynae is located at TMC but we thought of delivering in Mt A as we've heard the staff are better, but yet at the same time we found that in TMC there's a maternity membership programme which will give you some benefits if you deliver there, so gotta know what we're giving up. Also did you do hospital tours? On antenatal classes: Do you think it's necessary? If so, where? Thanks! #firstbaby #advicepls

First of all, congratulations! Now answer to your queries: 1. Check out the options at baby fair or stores such as Mothercare, First few years etc. Do check the reviews online and watch youtube videos on usage, assembling etc. Compare the price online vs offline once you've decided on the brand & product before purchasing. I'd recommend Evenflo travel system - easy, lightweight, multipurpose. 2. I think that should depend on the Doctor, cost included, facilities offered and the distance from your home. I've read good reviews about both TMC & Mt. A. Didn't get to do hospital tour due to covid and had to manage with virtual tours available online. We chose Mt. E Novena and extremely happy with our decision. 3. Again due to covid, we couldn't. There're some great videos available on Youtube which were our saviour. So I'd say it's good to join but not need to join category. Wish your wife a safe pregnancy and smooth delivery :)
