My husband and I are ready to purchase a baby. What should we know going forward?

Question

We are first time baby buyers and in over our heads! I am personally okay with buying used as they are obviously cheaper, but my husband has his heart set on a brand new one. (Personally I would be constantly nervous about scratching up a fancy new expensive baby!) We've been considering one called "Erica," who is very aesthetically pleasing, and even comes with her own crib. She's within our price range, but a little on the large side -  I just don't think we need such a big baby taking up a lot of space! I've heard great things about one called "Jordan," and most of his reviews are excellent, but one user mentioned that he's a big eater, and to me it's important to have a food-efficient baby to minimize our carbon footprint. What was your baby-hunting process like and what advice would you give?

I picked mine up at Ikea.  He’s not a recall model either, the E-3000 model.  A 2018 model.  He was new when we got him and he still has all his oroginal serial numbers and original colour too.

Amazon is quite good. You can sent it back too by January 31st 2021 if you don't like it or want it anymore. If you're a Prime Customer, the kid could be there by tomorrow!
