      CONSIDER YOUR PRICE RANGE - Baby brush and comb sets range from $4 to $40. Choose something that you love, but it also within your price range.

      **The Safety 1st Easy Grip Brush And Comb is $4.99 at Amazon.com. It has soft bristles and a durable frame, but does not come with a storage bag or container.

      CONSIDER THE BRISTLE QUALITY - For infants, it is important to have a soft bristle brush or wide toothed comb. The key is to be extremely gentle when combing through their hair.

      As children get older and into the toddler years, behaviors can arise if an uncomfortable brush is used. Soft bristles are usually a good buy. Look at reviews to determine bristle quality. High quality brushes will have natural bristles or goat hair bristles.

      **Ore Originals Peek A Boo Comb and Brush Set has natural boar bristles, a durable solid maple base, a storage bag and a classic looking theme. To me, they look perfect for a newborn, but not as interesting for a toddler as other sets. This set costs $15 on Amazon. See link in the resource section below for reviews and more info.

      CONSIDER THE LONGEVITY AND DURABILITY OF THE ITEM - When considering the longevity for a newborn brush or comb, you want to choose something which is high quality and possibly that can be kept as a keepsake.

      As your children get older, you want a comb or brush that will not fall apart when dropped or thrown. While brushes that can withstand falling may not be the same ones you want as a keepsake, they will be perfect to use from infancy through toddlerhood.

      It is best to purchase a baby brush and comb set that comes with a container. If this is not the scenario, you may want to buy and decorate a case for your brushes and combs. This will prevent you from losing the combs/brushes and keep the sets around a lot longer.

      **This Silver plated comb and brush set by Babysakes is the perfect keepsake. It costs $17.95 through Babysakes. While you may not want to give this to your toddler, it can be a treasured momento from your child's infancy and keep the memories durable.

      CONSIDER THE ENTERTAINMENT VALUE/ THEME - A baby brush and comb set can be more than a personal care item, it can be a journey into the imagination.

      Children with themed brushes and combs tend to find brushing and combing hair less aversive and more fun. These brushes can be used from infancy to toddlerhood (as long as their bristles are soft) and can second as a decoration.

      **The most popular themed baby comb and brush set right now is the Skip Hop Hare Brush and Comb Set. It is $20 on Amazon and includes a stand. It also has soft bristles. Read reviews at the link in the resource section below to share stories of child's amazement with an imagination inspiring brush and comb set.
