Baby Center

Baby Center (BabyCenter.com) is one of the most loved and useful baby sites on the net. Best known for the great online store, you can find useful information from the site and interact with other community members.

The site has been recently reconstructed and consists now of three main areas:

• Online Store
• Community
• Baby Center Plus

Baby Center – Online Store

According to the site, new parents spend an average of $8,000 on baby furniture and items the first year. In order to meet the demands of modern parents, the site offers a wide selection of

• baby gear, such as car seats and highchairs
• toys
• items for nursery, such as furniture and beddings
• feeding aids, such as items for bottle-feeding and booster seats
• baby clothing
• baby safety and health care items

In fact, the site’s selection has been done in consultation with parents and the site has a mission to provide as comprehensive selection of the best products as possible. They invite all parents to give feedback to make the site even better.

Baby Center – Community

Perhaps the most loved feature to the site is the community feature. This feature allows you to get in connection with other parents with similar interests and questions.

If you’d like to have product advice from other mothers, using online chat makes this a snap. The site also arranges chat events with interesting topics, such as chats for mothers with the same due date month.

Also, if you’re thinking of a baby name, the polls feature lets you arrange a poll on the name, and get feedback. It’s nice to have honest third party feedback from others, revealing possible weaknesses and strengths of the name that you may have overlooked.

Baby Center – Baby Center Plus

This feature of the site is all about extra safety for your baby. The feature includes recall alert email service on recalls of baby products.

Also, there is a great Q&A section with answers to many everyday baby safety and health issues. Finally, the feature has ratings on popular baby products, making shopping for such products easier.

Using the ratings feature with usability feedback from the community section makes the site a comprehensive shopping guide and purchasing experience.
