Baby stuff?

I don't have school or a job currently so I have a lot of time to look at baby stuff online. I haven't bought anything substantial for baby yet because I get so confused every time I try to make decisions! There are a million things to buy: car seat, stroller, crib, cradle, clothes, other furniture, etc. There are also a million options for each item. The list seems to go on and on! I just don't know which brands and types of baby stuff are best.

So, if anyone out there has any suggestions about ANY of this stuff, please advise me! Why are decisions so difficult for me?
