Rating:  - Decent Starter Set -- Some Drawbacks
I put this starter set on my registry while I was still expecting and received it after my son was born.While some of the pieces are really great, nice quality, well put together, some of them aren't quite as satisfactory. The best items in the box are the gown, hat, booties and the collection of onesies and t-shirts. The towel, wash cloths and terry sleepers are all made of a similar terry fabric which is very thin and even after washing, the sleepers feel rough to the touch. While they are useful as lighter sleepwear in the spring or summer, they're not really suitable for colder nights. The towel is also not hooded and is pretty flimsy for wrapping a newborn in after a bath. I've been using it as a light receiving blanket instead. The photos on the site also don't represent the colors well. The yellow especially, looks like a nice shade online, but is somewhat garish in actuality, a slightly pale, but bright lemon yellow.
Rating:  - Carter's makes a high-quality product!!
A must have!!! I had this on my registry, and am so glad we received it!! This set really is the perfect starter set! It has at least one of everything you need to get started, but the best thing about this set is the quality. Out of all of the clothes, and washcloths I received (and I have a ton!), Carter's makes the best! Of all the washcloths I received, I will only use the ones made by Carter's for my baby's bath. Everything in this set is incredibly soft, warm, and durable. A must have!!!
Rating:  - A good set
I love Carter's, and recieved this set as a gift. I would not have spent so much money myself, but I guess if you price evrything individually, the set is a savings compared to brand new. I noticed in other reviews that not every product in the set is useful, and I am no different. The set of teething keys are all pastel, and therefore boring, the T shirts and gown ride-up on my baby (not Carter's fault) and the booties just aren't made well and my baby was born too big for the cap - so none of these products are useful to me. The recieveing blanket is soft and the washcloths and towel are serviceable. If your baby is born premature, however, the clothes in this set will be too big for quite a while. Even the average size newborn will be engulfed in most items. It's fun to dress a new baby up in different clothes, and the uniform color of the set is kind of a letdown, but that's just my opinion.
