What’s New on Gugu: August 21, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

This week I have found some fun new products for both mom and baby! For mom, I am highlighting three new maternity/nursing apparel options. Two of these are great options for working moms and one is great for active families! I also have a new combination car seat (harness to booster) that will be great for school carpools! Also, an excellent set by one of our favorite eco-friendly toy companies.

 

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Britax Grow with You Clicktight and Grow with you Clicktight Plus: The two new Harness-2-Booster options from Britax are great for back to school and carpool! We love Britax’s Clicktight installation, which gets you a perfectly tight fit in a matter of seconds. These seats will keep your forward facing kiddo in a harness until 65 pounds, and safely in a booster up to 120 pounds. Clicktight Plus also features naturally flame-retardant fabrics that you can easily wash and dry!

The Dress by leSolstice: This pregnancy and nursing friendly dress is the new ‘must have’ in any mama’s wardrobe! The slight compression waist stays up on your growing tummy while the dual wrap top easily opens for nursing and/or pumping. Plus, the magnetic closure will keep one side closed, even if you need to open the other!

Rose and Rex Calm Mind Kit: Looking to introduce mindfulness and meditation to your little one in a developmentally appropriate way? Look no further! Created by childhood development and wellness experts, these will help you get through the dog days of summer! Each set contains three toys as well as a set of calm mind activity cards. Plus, every purchase gives back toys to children in need!

Cadenshae Activewear: A full line of maternity (and nursing-friendly) activewear for pregnancy and beyond! Created to look just like your pre-baby wardrobe, every Mom and Mom-to-be will find something high-quality and super comfortable! Once baby arrives, these items will continue to be some of your favorite go-to pieces!

J. Crew x HATCH Collection: Another fun collaboration has recently launched! J. Crew’s entrance into the maternity world is paired brilliantly with HATCH, creating many new (and adorable!) pieces for the working mom. Comfortable for the growing belly, these pieces will help you feel confident in the work place throughout all three trimesters and beyond!

Favorite Kids Gear of 2019 for Urban Moms

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Our Urban Mama, Megan, is back sharing her top kids gear for 2019 for urban moms. While it may seem like baby and kid gear is the same across the board, urban moms most definitley need to think about things like space-saving items, busy street walking, and subway action! Check out Megan’s suggestions below and let us know what you think in the comments! Don’t forget to follow Megan on Instagram for Urban Parenting tips and tricks! 

stokke

Stokke Tripp Trapp & Newborn Set: The unofficial highchair of NYC, the Stokke Tripp Trapp now comes with a newborn seat! We’ve used the Tripp Trapp for our older kids and now our newest addition can join us at the dining room table. The seat helps encourage bonding with her older siblings in a cozy nest-like environment. 

mamaroo

4moms rockaRoo: It’s chic, compact and gets the job done. Living in a small space the traditional baby swing is not an option in an NYC apartment. My daughter LOVES the soothing back and forth motion of the 4moms rockaRoo. I love the size and that it’s not a giant eyesore in my living room.  

Tula Explore Carrier: The cool girl carrier now has an ergonomic front-facing position. With breathable fabric and beautiful prints, you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style. This tops my list as the best ergonomic carrier currently on the market. With adjustable head support and carrying option such as inward facing, outward facing and back carry the Tula can take your babywearing from the newborn stage all the way up to a toddler. Perfect from strolling through Soho or running to catch the 1 this carrier gets it done. See more on the Tula Explore here, too. 

Stokke Xplory: When looking for a new stroller for baby #3 I did a ton of research for the best full-size stroller for our family. The Xplory has adjustable heights to raise the baby higher for eye contact and multiple forward-facing stroller positions. The best part of the stroller seat is suitable for a newborn to a child up to 45lbs. For my family, that means the stroller can not only grow with our new baby but I can also use the stroller for my toddler. Having a double stroller in the city is hard (a side by side double practically screams tourist). This allows my 2-year-old and baby to switch off. I can wear the baby when the toddler gets tired of walking or have my older child ride the Sibling Board under the stroller. 

Love To Dream Swaddle: Are you a horrible swaddler? It’s ok to admit this because I’m on baby number 3 and I still have not mastered the art of swaddling. Don’t worry guys you’re not alone and there is a product out there that makes a swaddle solution for parents like us. The Love to Dream zipper design is so easy I’ve even changed a diaper during the night without interrupting my babies sleep. The unique arms up design emulates a natural sleep position in the womb and will help all of you get a decent nights sleep. See more on the Love to Dream Swaddle here, too. 

Elvie Breast Pump: While I’ve nursed all over New York City I’ve never pumped in public, until now! Imagine what it would feel like to not be tethered to a wall or hiding in the mother’s room at work while you pump? The Elvie wearable lightweight breast pump lets you get outside and pump on the go. It’s truly hands-free and perfect for busy moms who don’t have time for pumping to slow them down.

UppaBaby Minu: My favorite travel stroller that handles like it’s big siblings the Vista and Cruz. Sturdy enough to take a NYC curb plus spacious with true one handed fold that’s light enough to carry up the subway stairs.z This spacious travel stroller ticks all the boxes.

What’s New on Gugu: June 5, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

This week I ended up with a number of products that will be great for summer travel! A new portable crib has just hit the market as well as some maternity friendly swimwear. We also love some new strollers from our friends at gb Pockit. Rounding out my selections this week are a work to play diaper bag backpack and some pre/postnatal friendly nursing gear that is sure to make you feel good!

 

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Halo DreamNest Portable Crib: For parents looking for multi-functional products, I’ve found you another one! This portable crib by Halo starts as a rocking bassinet, converts into a portable crib and eventually turns into a cot. Utilizing a mesh mattress and coming with a travel bag, the DreamNest is perfect for on the go.

Real Mom Reviews: Mountain Buggy Duet for Multiples

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When it comes to finding products for twins, we love when real moms get the chance to review products and help out other multiple-mamas-to-be on their baby registry journey. The ultra chic Mountain Buggy Duet Stroller was featured in our Spring Fashion Gift Guide because it truly is so stylish – but there are so many reasons any parent of two truly needs this unique stroller! Our editor’s childhood best friend recently had adorable twin boys and was looking for a stroller she could easily get outside with while wrangling both boys. We were excited to have her try out the Mountain Buggy Duet – here’s what she thought of it below!

This is the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury in Herringbone and interestingly enough, the Duet Stroller is the slimmest double stroller on the market, it’s even slimmer than some single strollers! Parents love the Mountain Buggy Duet for its slim frame and ability to be folded up easily.

This luxury stroller comes with Aeromaxx wheels (enjoy the ride of air filled tires but without the maintenance), a matching diaper bag, and changing mat, and a 3 year warranty! Style and function are perfectly joined with the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury Stroller.

Here’s what our twin mama had to say about it:

I love the Mountain Buggy, and more importantly, so do my boys! It’s a lot less bulky than other twin strollers I’ve used, and the steering is comfortable and smooth. It’s actually quite narrow for a side-by-side! The leather touches give it a luxurious feel and the 4-buckle harnesses keep the boys secure. There’s plenty of storage in the base of the stroller, which is essential for a twin mama on the go. There are tons of small but thoughtful features that make a huge difference – a magnet that holds the peek-a-boo flap in place and a wrist strap to keep the stroller securely in my hands.

For more information or to buy now, visit Little Folks NYC.

Gugu Guru received the Mountain Buggy Duet Luxury for review. All opinions are our own.

This week’s new finds highlight some great Earth Day friendly selections. Reusable food pouches, baby food makers, and food grade silicone bottles are all great new items for the eco-friendly family. You will also notice some pop culture trends popping up this week. Baby Shark anyone? For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Baby Brezza Food Makers and Reusable Pouches: Earth Day celebrations always remind me to make smart choices regarding the products we use in everyday life. Baby Brezza has continued to make the ‘homemade baby food game’ a reality with easy to use machines and reusable pouches! Simply pop your favorite fruit and/or veggies in the container (love the Glass for eco-friendly or the new Deluxe) and watch them cook and blend with ease. Pour any delicious mixture into the reusable pouch and you’re good to go! Added bonus – the pouches are top-rack dishwasher safe!

Hatch Maternity x Nordstrom: As we (not so) patiently await the arrival of Baby Sussex, it has become much easier to attain our own ‘Markle Sparkle!’ The new collaboration between Hatch Maternity and Nordstrom highlights items from a brand we love so much. Pair together classic tops, pants, and dresses to keep things comfy and chic!

Baby Shark Toys and Walker: The ‘Baby Shark’ craze doesn’t seem to be leaving us anytime soon. Wowwee, the brains behind ‘Fingerlings’ continue to create engaging toys for our little ones. We have a love/hate relationship with their line of singing shark characters, which will instantly burn that catchy tune into your brain! Plus, coming in October is their newest toy, a brand new Baby Shark inspired walker for baby.

Boon NURSH Silicone Bottles: Another Earth Day find, the Boon NURSH bottle system utilizes a special bagged venting system that is reusable. Ideal for preventing gas, easily squeeze the silicone pouch to remove any excess air before feeding your babe. Plus, all parts are dishwasher safe!

Skip Hop Greenwich Convertible Hip Pack: With Mother’s Day around the corner, we love this sleek take on the fanny pack. Great for travel, we love this new hands-free accessory to hold the essentials. Pair with a diaper bag for an excellent gift for any mama-to-be!

Enter, the Sofia Fima Handbags, which help you effortlessly go from office to off-duty. Created by moms for moms, this handbag is your ultimate utility bag, which also happens to be made of gorgeous leather – ideal for work, mom-life, and of course, traveling!

Teat & Cosset: When it comes to travel style for breastfeeding moms, we’ve found the ultimate must-have clothing item for any nursing mama. Is there anything more necessary for travel than a comfy sweatshirt? The Teat & Cosset Gemma Sweatshirt has everything you need for a perfect travel style accessory; made from 100% cotton, the sweatshirt features natural fibers which are gentle and safe on baby’s delicate skin. But, the coolest part of these stylish sweatshirts are their two hidden zippers which provide discrete, easy, and fast breastfeeding access anywhere including buses, trains, planes, and boats!

Marama Naturals Calendula Spray: When you’re traveling with baby, it seems as though everything is always sticky, sweaty, dirty, or prime time for dry-skin! We have the the perfect travel companion for both baby and mama – the multi-purpose Calming Calendula Spray from Marama Naturals.  Calendula is touted for its anti-inflammatory properties, ability to improve and hydrate skin, and for speeding healing. It restores and cleanses. Marama Naturals has made calendula even easier to use with this convenient spray, which you can throw into your diaper bag. Combined with other therapeutic oils, this powerful, but gentle, spray is perfect to cleanse baby’s diaper area, and keep baby feeling clean in a natural way. If you’re traveling, this is a must-have item for both mom and baby; you can spray directly on the baby’s diaper area, or even use a baby cloth or wipe to apply the comforting liquid. Need hydration or a facial toner? This is great for that, too! You can even skip the baby’s drying bath and use the spray as a quick baby wash. If you’re on the road sans bath, it doubles as a no-rinse wash for baby, and keeps your skin feeling hydrated and clean, as well. Plus, who doesn’t need an extra reason to de-stress? The natural ingredients with soothing qualities of Calendula help to de-stress and reduce redness in your skin, so if you’re stuck in the car with many miles to go, simply spray this convenient bottle from Marama Naturals and feel at ease, clean, and refreshed!

Cold-Fix For Children: While traveling can be a true joy and a lovely experience, doesn’t it always seem like someone picks up some sort of sickness while traveling? We’re big fans of Cold-Fix for Children – formulated to help relieve cold and flu symptoms. Cold-Fix was brought to the U.S. by Dr. Shahram Jacobs, a father of 3, after nearly 20 years of popularity and success in Europe and Asia. It is a physician-formulated and doctor-approved remedy that helps to temporarily relieve cold and flu symptoms (congestion, cough and fever) and works to strengthen the immune system to help prevent sickness in the first place! It’s safe for kids six months and older and is a non-drowsy, homeopathic formula free of artificial dyes, gluten, and sugar. Plus, it has no reported side effects or interactions with other medications. Cold-Fix for Children is the choice for parents who are ready to help their children make it through cold and flu season – happy and healthy! For anyone who loves to travel – this is a great gift they can take with them to help their little one feel his/her best on every adventure! Use code cfguguguru for 25% of your order (expires 1/1/2019). 

ToteSavvy: The key to being able to travel with a baby is organization – so, how does one stay so organized with a baby in tow? ToteSavvy! The ToteSavvy Deluxe transforms your regular totes into an organized masterpiece, chock full of spaces, pockets, and more to hold everything you need in exactly the right place. We love that the ToteSavvy Deluxe works with all of your totes from pre-baby life, so you can still use them, even when they’re full of diapers and bottles! Having everything organized will keep you feeling less stressed on your flight or travels, and everything is super easily accessible as well. ToteSavvy Deluxe holds unique features no other bag organizer has including a laptop sleeve, zip-top insulated cooler pocket, and rose gold hardware. We love that the ToteSavvy has eleven total multi use pockets, so if you’re traveling with baby, traveling solo, heading to the gym, work, or for fun – there is a pocket for everything you need, and you can switch your ToteSavvy from one tote to another without any muss or fuss! Use code GUGU for 20% off your order. 

LugBug Handle: If you’re traveling with a baby, it can get very heavy, very fast carrying the carseat with the baby around from place to place. We came across the LugBug Handle years ago and it is still one of our very favorite must-haves for traveling parents.  Baby carriers can be tough on the arms – so tough that daily lugging can put parents at rick of strain-related injuries, chronic pain, and even accidental drops. In fact, nearly half of parents experience shoulder, back, and neck pain due to the strain of lugging a baby carrier. The LugBug handle is a helpful device which attaches to you baby carrier and offers a range of better, more comfortable (and enjoyable) carrying positions that support your arm and wrist. The creator of LugBug, a first time dad, set out to design a sturdy and easy-to-use handle designed to keep parents comfortable and kids safe. The handle’s innovative and ergonomic design reduces tension on the shoulders and arms for a more comfortable lugging position. If you’re out and about with a baby carrier, the LugBug is a must have necessity for your family!

Unbuckle Me: One of the most frustrating parts of travel is getting the kids in and out of the car seat – but, we found a way to ease up the whole production of the carseat drama with the new Unbuckle Me. UnbuckleMe is the award winning solution for anyone who struggles with car seat buckles! So, how does the Unbuckle Me work? It easily slips around the buckle and uses leverage to make it 50% easier to unbuckle. Does not attach to the car seat & works on ANY car seat buckle. The Unbuckle Me was invented by a Grandma with arthritis (who is also an Occupational Therapist) and her daughter (a mom of 2 toddlers!). UnbuckleMe is intended to be used under adult supervision, which means it should remain out of reach of children while the vehicle is in motion. It is recommended that you store in a convenient location that is easily accessible, like the side door pocket of your car. UnbuckleMe includes a small loop on the “neck” that can be used to attach it to a convenient location, such as a key chain or diaper bag. This would make a perfect stocking stuffer or new mom gift – keep one in every car and make travel just a little easier on yourself! Head to their website and use code ‘guru’ for 15% off. 

Travel Tray: When it comes to traveling with kids, it seems like there is always a toddler in the backseat asking for a snack! How can you solve this snacky problem? With Travel Tray! Travel Tray extends your current cup holder to hold your cup PLUS a tray to hold food or toys. Travel Tray fits into car seats, strollers, outdoor chairs; anywhere a standard cup holder is utilized! Made in the USA, easy to clean with a wipe and dishwasher friendly! Travel Tray are made in the USA, easy to clean with a wipe and dishwasher friendly, making it easier on parents. Plus, the Travel Tray is BPA, PHT, and PVC-free so it’s safe for your little snacker in the backseat. You won’t want to leave home without your Travel Tray, perfect for all trips, whether just down the block or across the country. Use code GURU for 20% off and free shipping on any order through 12/31/18. 

Earth Mama Mini Deodorant 4-Pack: It’s no surprise we are huge fans of Earth Mama, their products are ideal for pregnant moms, post-partum, breastfeeding and beyond. So, when it comes to travel, no one should be without their Earth Mama Mini Deodorants! Four flavors in one box! Earth Mama’s mini deodorants are travel-savvy and squee-cute. Pop one in your purse, the diaper bag, your gym bag or keep one in your travel bag – they are the perfect size for road trips or flights! You get all four flavors in one fun-filled box! Refreshing ginger-lime Ginger Fresh Deodorant, tangerine-y Bright Citrus Deodorant, unscented Non-Scents Deodorant, and fresh, soothing Calming Lavender Deodorant. Think you’re too sensitive for deodorants with baking soda? You got another thing comin’! This formula was made for extra sensitive skin with the perfect balance of baking soda and magnesium. Just enough to work, not enough to hurt.

Thank you to Sofia Fima, Teat & Cosset, Unbuckle Me, LugBug, Earth Mama, Cold Fix, Travel Tray, Marama Naturals, and ToteSavvy for making this sponsored post possible!

Work at Home Mom Must Haves: Part 1

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

In our first installment of essentials for the work at home mom, Alex – mom of three with one on the way – is chatting about teethers, diaper bags, maternity clothes, and why a Crane USA humidifier is an essential for any house. Check out Alex on her blog and Instagram – and see all of our mom types here, too.

Lou Lou Lollipop Teether: This teether is amazing — I love that it’s got a sturdy clip that even a strong-willed toddler can’t yank off!  The quality of the actual teether is soooo sturdy and is the perfect firmness for those achy teething baby gums that need some gnawing relief on an adorable donut!

Skip Hop Diaper Bag Backpack, Forma: I absolutely love this backpack — it is spacious to fit alllll of my baby/toddler/mom gear yet compact enough that it doesn’t feel like it’s a steamer trunk and takes up a bunch of room.  I just LOVE the stroller clips so I can clip this bad boy on the back of my stroller when we’re out and about and I have quick access to all of my essentials!  I just love it!

GoodbodyGoodmommy Maternity Leggings and Multitasking Cardigan: Holy cats.  These are hands-down my favorite FAVORITE maternity (and probably postpartum too!) gear!  They are made out of super soft material that feels sooooo good on my stretched out sore pregnant body.  I absolutely love the cardigan, which is perfect for both pregnancy and postpartum nursing sessions!  The support band in the maternity leggings is my most favorite thing ever, because my belly tends to carry 9+ pound babies and this will be the best support ever for that and my back.  I just love these both SO MUCH! (See more on the multitasking cardigan here, too)

Crane USA Elephant Humidifier: This humidifier is not only practical (helllllo winter dryness!) but also freaking adorable.  I love the elephant design and love even more that I can adjust the intensity of the humidifier (aka make it last all night long!) as well as the direction it is spraying towards.  It’s also super easy to refill and clean!

Stay tuned for more Work at Home Mom Picks from Alex!

Keeping Your Diaper Bag “Spring Clean”

It’s a fact, when you’re a mom, you lug around a lot of “stuff”. And every seasoned mom knows that sometimes the “stuff” that you need to carry in your bag can be a bit unsavory (sealed ziplock bag with poopy diaper or a pair of soaking wet, dirty toddler socks, anyone?)  That is why the team at Gugu Guru loves the SmartGear Diaper Bag and the new Weekender Bag from Baby K’tan. 71xhM85VTpL._SX522_ What makes this bag so different and just so genius is that it includes a built-in wetbag with antibacterial lining and water-tight zipper as well as antibacterial pockets that kill germs and odor causing bacteria. 71KZyzexEXL._SX522_-2And – if you didn’t know already – a bevy of pockets is absolutely mandatory to keeping your life organized with a baby.  In our post 7 Tips For A Clutter-Free Life with Kids, Shira Gill suggests creating a diaper bag list “so you can make sure you are stocked up on the essentials before running out the door. Make sure to include healthy snacks, hand sanitizer, lip balm, etc. for your own self care.” The Baby K’tan has you covered here, with a total of 12 functional pockets to store all your essentials and more.

But we all know that none of this really matters unless the bag is fashionable as well as functional. Baby K’tan gets a big check mark here too with the cute designs (including unisex styles for dad) with over the shoulder and stroller-bar straps included.

Also check out The Weekender Bag from Baby K’tan. It has a total of nine compartments for all your essentials, including a built-in antibacterial wet bag, an extra large insulated pocket to keep food cold and a padded laptop pocket for devices up to 14″. For baby it is outfitted with a matching changing pad with antibacterial lining, a wipes case for easy access wipes pocket and an antimicrobial pacifier pouch.

Breastfeeding Style for Nursing Moms

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Breastfeeding your baby can be a complicated and often frustrating journey for many moms, but what shouldn’t be frustrating is finding your breastfeeding style. There are so many amazing and very fashionable style brands and pieces we’ve come across to help breastfeeding moms feel comfortable, fashionable, and have easy access for little hungry mouths.

Belly Bandit’s Mother Tucker Nursing Tank: The Mother Tucker® Nursing Tank is engineered to offer exceptional wire-free support with a tummy-flattening center, slide-over cups for discreet nursing, and no-dig straps, making it ideal for breastfeeding style. There are so many reasons to love this Nursing Tank from Belly Bandit: the easy, discreet nursing access, wire-free, seamless support, soft, tubular knit smoothes and shapes your belly and waist, and minimizes back bulge, and Muffinology® technology helps control muffin top. Win win!

Goodbody Goodmommy Multi-Tasking Cardigan: We’ve written a few times about why we think this multitasking cardigan is an essential item for breastfeeding mamas. We love the goodbody goodmommy multitasking cardigan for ultimate breastfeeding style because it can be worn during pregnancy as a cardigan which fits over your belly, a super convenient breastfeeding cover, and beyond breastfeeding, it’s a really handy cardigan because it’s wrinkle free and has pockets!
