“Special delivery”

Hi Strands fans. A cunningly deceptive clue here. Of course, the theme of "Special delivery" had me looking for parcel-related stuff, but after failing to find anything, I thought outside the box a bit.
"Delivery" can also mean giving birth, so I started to look for baby-related things, and that's when I saw CRIB in the top-left corner.
It was pretty easy from then on, as I scanned the board for baby-friendly paraphernalia.
BLANKET was top of my list and I found it in the bottom half. That also helped me complete the spangram - I'd seen the word "baby" before getting CRIB, but couldn't see what it connected to. With BLANKET in place, I was able to figure it out: BABYGEAR.
With the grid now divided in two, I completed the bottom half first, nabbing SWING and PLAYPEN. That left two to find in the top section, with HIGHCHAIR coiled around the top-right corner and STROLLER snaking along the middle.
