Luckily I haven't had to contact any companies with issues in my kiddo's 2.5 years. I do like Graco products, and Playtex. Those are 2 brands I'm pretty loyal to.

I haven't had a problem yet that I've had to deal with the company to fix but I do have some I like.
Evenflo-love their car seats and strollers
Playtex- ventaire bottles and their pacifiers
Nuk-bottles and pacifiers
Fisher Price- lamb cradle n swing and rainforest bouncer and kick n play piano
Arm's Reach- co sleeper bassinet, love it!
Boppy- the pillow of course and I have a Boppy play yard that is great

I am looking a convertable carseats right now for the future and I am in love with Graco's myride 65 convertible carseat.

Diaper wise- wasn't crazy about Huggies newborn diapers, but love the size 1 little snugglers, Luv's are good and Target brand are good. pampers are okay too, but I've heard a lot about diaper rash with them.

I like some of the ECO brands. I like Born Free, Britax, Earth's Best (one of my favorites), Safety 1st Chicco, and some Graco. Toys wise I like wooden toys (my daughter does to) - Organic Beginnings is one of my favorites. I use Huggies Pure and Natural diapers and Earth's Best diapers for my baby. I also love Medela - I have had no problems with them at all.

I had to contact first years about my breast pump dying after 4 months of use. The warranty was only for 90 days but I called anyways and they ended up replacing my pump with no cost to me. But I hated that pump anyway so I had already bought a medela and so I just sold the new one. But I am pleased that they replaced it even out of warranty.

It depends on what the product is or what I need but I do have my preferences for various reasons.

For pack and play's, high chairs, strollers and swings I use Graco.

For diapers I am a bit of a diaper snob and prefer Huggies and only Huggies.

For infant bath products I use Johnson & Johnson bed time wash/lotion OR Target's Up and Up which has fewer chemicals in it and it's cheaper, smells the same. I prefer Desitin for rash cream and Safety First or Hospital's Choice for grooming items (nail clippers, aspirators, medicine droppers, etc..) for babies.

For bathtubs for babies I absolutely hate the solid sided ones because they are too hard to get under or around baby properly without them slipping or a big mess happening. I like Summer brand bath chairs better as you can safely strap in baby and it's mesh bottom allows you to be able to safely wash ALL of baby without hard sides or danger of tipping.

For car seats I use the model that is best rated for safety and that is functional and easiest to use for getting baby in and out. To me it's about the safest possible transport in the car for both my preschooler and infant than it is about the brand or cost. Their lives are too precioius to me & my husband to take chances.

For sippy cups and sport sipper cups I use Playtex. I've tried cheaper brands and they've all leaked like crazy. Playtex are the only ones I could ever get to work with my son and it's what I'll continue to use for road trips in the car even though now he can use the regular cup without difficulty at home.

When it comes to breast pumps I use Medela. Mine came with a couple bottles to use if needed and I have the attachable storage tubes that can be frozen and stored so for road trips I can just put them in a cooler and have them handy while on the road as needed. It was the easiest system I could find and it was reasonable in cost compared to others.

Safety First is my choice for potty training seats and baby proofing gear. They are affordable, dependable and easy to use.

For infant toys I usually look for brands that are not continually on recall lists for lead or other problems. I will NEVER use Parents brand anything as they have been recalled too many times for lead issues or choking hazards and other problems. The same for toys from dollar stores.

NUK is all I've ever used for pacifiers since they are great for the price and solid construction so I don't have to worry about choking hazards.

When it comes to baby food I make my own. I do not like the idea of feeding my child something with excessive amounts of salt, added sugar and concentrated whatever added into it.

Graco was good, we bought a swing and there was no mobile, so they sent us one no problem. The only company I am not sure about yet is The First Years. I bought a bottle warmer from them and it blew my breaker and now won't work. I guess I have to send the unit back to them, but I am waiting until they send me a replacement. It has been over a month since I called them.

And for liking products, Playtex bottles are awesome, pacifiers he doesn't like. Avent make great pacifiers with the cover. They are the best. Johnson baby toiletries.
