My son and family are in the Foreign Service and have lived in Nairobi for 4 years. They want to spend a month in Pittsburgh to visit us, their parents, before moving on to their new post in Jordan. They have 4 year old twins- are looking to rent a kid friendly 2 bedroom house or apartment for March. Any ideas or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help. Melissa Jones

FS: Winter baby gear and other baby items
by Emily Nicholson 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

I have a bunch of different baby snow/winter one-piece suits. They are each size 6-9 months and in good condition. I do a lot of walking so last winter was a bit of a trial and error period while I determined which suit worked best to keep my baby warm on our long walks. If you're just going to use them for brief outdoor periods, then any one of them will work well for you. I'm selling each for $5. I also have a 6-9 month winter coat, which I'm selling for $10 because it was never worn and it was quite expensive, and a few hat and mitten sets, all of which can be had for $5 total. Finally, I'm selling for $5 a car-seat cover (which looks like a vest that you put over your car seat - there is an opening for baby's head but otherwise it covers the entire car seat. This worked very well for me on long walks because our car seat attached to the stroller and the cover kept the wind and cold off of my baby's face). I can send you better pictures upon request. We are smoke-free home but we do have a dog. I am also selling the following baby items (email me for pics, they are too large to attach): 1. Baby scale - $10 2. Fisher Price rainforest floor gym - $10 - lights and music work fine but there are a few hanging toys missing. Sells for $50 new on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Rainforest-Melodies-Lights-Deluxe/dp/B00… 3. Set of Mini Masters books - we received a duplicate set as a gift. Note that it is missing the Matisse book. http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Masters-Boxed-Julie-Merberg/dp/081185518X/ref=sr… - $3 4. Bumbo floor seat, like this one but with an underwater-themed cover: http://www.amazon.com/Keen-B10056-Bumbo-Floor-Seat/dp/B0092NNQ98 - $10 5. Carseat canopy, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AF73POG/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=… - $5 6. Two Britax B-safe rear facing car seats, each with its base. These were purchased in 2014 so not very old and there is nothing wrong with them. They sell for over $150 new on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Britax-B-Safe-Infant-Seat-Black/dp/B0107CZ5U0/ref=pd_… Selling each for $40. Finally, I have many other baby items that I would be glad to be rid of, but I just don't have the time or energy to post to this list. If you are expecting a girl or have a newborn baby girl, I probably have lots of spring, summer and fall clothes that may work for you, as well as many other miscellaneous items. Thanks for looking.

We have a 40 gallon glass aquarium that held our late turtle. As far as we know, it does not have any leaks (though we only kept it about half-way filled). Will need a good cleaning.
