Hardly ever used (if at all, especially with baby number two):
Crib (should not have even bothered to assemble it! we did, however, use a small safety-cosleeper setup during the first couple of months)
Changing table (just used a towel/blanket on a bed or floor)
High chair (found a booster seat with a back was much more useful and took up way less room, and could be used from a few months onward)
Various small appliance/baby accessories (most received as gifts): monitor, wipes warmer, etc.
Baby bjorn carrier (i really wanted this to work and be handy...just used it a few times, maybe a sling would have been better?)
Nursing pillow (also looked important to have in the store, but really didn't suit me for feeding at all)
Full-size swing (a travel, folding-type worked just as well and for whatever reason ended up being more appealing to our kids)
Also, i had really wanted a fancy stroller, but am so glad we never got one...we've just used the fairly inexpensive one from our first baby through the second and don't have to feel bad if it gets grimey, worn out).
Weird how little we ended up actually using on a regular basis, compared to how much you THINK you need.

Replying to the question earlier about the rolling litter boxes: We have 2 of them and they work pretty well; you just have to keep the litter refilled, otherwise there might be presents stuck to the bottom of the box. We refill them regularly, scoop daily, and dump/clean each box out monthly or so and have been pleased. They really help to contain dust, too. They do look huge, but don't take up much more room than large size open boxes would.
