Thank you everyone for your input. We do not want to have to purchase anything additional for this - as mentioned in my first post it was something tasked to us. We had decided to visit my brother before the baby comes, and while visiting another family member this weekend we mentioned our visit and were told "oh yeah, we have all those things for you to take to him" - completely caught us off guard. Apparently they had agreed to donate their old baby things to him and brother forgot to tell us we were expected to bring them He's never done anything like this before so it's not too annoying, but it would've been nice to have been ASKED. Oh well, I'll find a way for him to return the favor eventually.

I really don't think my brother will be flying with a newborn at all so any purchase made to help with future traveling would just be wasted money Looks like we'll just be shoving everything into the box and hoping for the best!
