Purchasing electrical items for baby from North America- yay or nay?
Hello ladies:
I've been struggling with this issue for a while- thought I'd put it out there to hear your views. Thanks in advance!
I'm currently pregnant with twins and am delivering in North America. I'll be coming back to Dubai once we're all ready to travel. As I won't have any help back in Dubai and will have my hands full, I'm hoping to finish up as much shopping as possible here. I've pretty much bought everything I need except for electrical items, mainly:
*breast pump
*baby monitor
*bottle warmer
*sterilizer
I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions of dual voltage items that I could buy here and bring back with me, or whether it would be wiser to buy these items (220V) in Dubai. I actually wrote to Medela asking whether they had any dual voltage pumps, but their customer service not very helpful- they suggested I use a battery pack while in Dubai! I know many women LOVE Medela pumps-- I wonder if anyone could give me a rough estimate of how much the Freestyle Breast Pump or Pump in Style Advanced would cost if purchased in Dubai. Also it looks like the Freestyle is not AC adapter powered, so does this mean it always runs on batteries?
Summer Infant service was much better, and they wrote back saying they have three dual voltage monitors: Baby Touch, Best View & Sleek and Secure. However I've heard mixed reviews about Summer Infant products, so not even sure about whether I'd like to buy them.
Any input highly appreciated. Thanks!
