Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller: Our Obsession

A premium full-size stroller that’s actually affordable? It’s true. And we’re obsessed. The Mockingbird Single-to-Double stroller will grow with your child AND grow with your family.

Why do we love it, you may ask? Well, the team at Mockingbird designed a premium full-size stroller truly built for the modern parent: with a one-hand fold, spill-proof materials, never-flat wheels, and a storage basket that can fit everything. They also developed a great lineup of companion accessories like a machine washable Seat Liner, touchscreen-friendly Hand Muff, and a versatile Parent Organizer.

The Mockingbird stroller is at an affordable price point for a luxury stroller. What would otherwise be a $700+ stroller, is just $450.

To soothe any fears about buying baby gear you can’t first see in person, Mockingbird lets customers try the products at home for 30 days, with free shipping both ways. This gives customers a better way to evaluate a stroller than pushing it up and down the smooth floor in a baby store.

We love that Mockingbird clearly takes safety very seriously. The brand designed a testing program that goes way above the state and federal requirements, aiming to account for all the real-life situations that matter (e.g., bumping up against sidewalk curbs, older sibs pulling down on the handlebar, overloading the storage basket, etc.).

The world of baby/toddler gear is always being inundated with new, cool items! Our job at Gugu Guru is to help you sort through all the ‘fluff’ and figure out what items will be a great pick for your lifestyle and taste. Each week I will be sharing some items that we at Gugu Guru think should be at the top of your list to check out. Some of these items are brand new to the market and others are oldies but goodies that you may not know about. For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Evenflo Balance + Wide Glass Baby Bottles : Created with Pediatric feeding specialists, the new glass bottle by Evenflo is a great option for eco-friendly parents! They have truly thought of everything, using shock-resistant tempered glass and a uniquely shaped nipple leading to a perfect latch. We also love the venting system, which will ensure that your little one doesn’t suck up any extra air. A great new glass feeding option!

Fusion Gates: Finally a stylish and artistic solution to the need for safety gates! The contemporary look of Fusion Gates can be further personalized to your taste with their interchangeable art screens. They truly become an art piece in your home! We also love that they can be installed with pressure mount or hardware options.Edushape Tub Sub: As a former Early Childhood and Kindergarten teacher, I love to find toys that help my kids learn while having a blast. Edushape hits the nail on the head with all of their products, which have been created to get kids to think. Their new Tub Sub will help your little one learn all about buoyancy during bath time. Plus, it’s easy to clean, which as any seasoned parent will tell you is a MUST for bath toys!

Freshly Picked Mom Clothing: A beloved moccasin company finally launched a line for Mom this Fall! Full of fun and adorable sneakers, clothing, and purses, they offer classic items in high quality fabrics. We also love the option to ‘match your little’ with coordinating t-shirts and bags!

Wash. It. Later. Bags: Perfect for on-the-go parents, Wash. It. Later. bags are the solution to life’s messiest moments with baby. Leak-proof, liquid safe bags will both hold the messy items and begin to soak them in a cleaning solution (free of harsh chemicals and all-natural) until you get to the washing machine. Great for travel and an excellent option for your gym bag messes as well!

The world of baby/toddler gear is always introducing cool new baby items! Our job at Gugu Guru is to help you sort through all the ‘fluff’ and figure out what items could be a great pick for your lifestyle and taste. Each week we will be sharing some items that we’ve recently added to Gugu Guru. Some of these items are brand new to the market and others are oldies but goodies that you may not know about. For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Loulou Lollipop: With their spring line on the horizon (launches later this month), one of our go-to companies for teethers and pacifier clips can help with bed and bathtime too! Known for its high quality products, Loulou Lollipop’s bath towels will extend long past baby’s first year and their crib sheet patterns are to die for!

Silver Cross Coast Stroller: Finally making its way to the US, the Silver Cross Coast, their lightest convertible stroller, easily converts from a single to a double stroller as your family grows (or for multiples!) The bassinet is included with your purchase, and is approved for overnight sleep (along with their new, awesome bassinet stand). This stroller is also compatible with a number of infant car seats making it an easy-to-use travel system.

Miniware: Eco-friendly and stylish tableware for baby is a reality! We love the look of Miniware’s dish sets, which will help baby learn how to feed him/herself. Plus, most of the dishes are convertible in some way, meaning they will continue to grow with your kids as they age. As an added bonus, Miniware’s products are all dishwasher safe, which is great for any on-the-go parent!

TLC Squared Through The Years Collection: As a new parent, you always have the greatest ambitions to write everything down- first tooth, first steps, first words, but in reality there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get this task accomplished! TLC Squared’s Through the Years Collection has you covered! Breaking down exciting childhood memories one event at a time, these gorgeous and easy to fill out books are a great way to capture these special days for your kiddo.

Rambler: Created by a mom with a problem to solve, Rambler is an easy-to-use pop open soft play mat. Unlike anything on the market, the Rambler is truly easy to take on the go for active families who don’t have time to deal with laying out a blanket on a windy day. Great for daily tummy time, a picnic in the park and beyond, Rambler will grow with your family long past those baby years!

Nomi Highchair: After seeing this highchair for the first time at the Chicago Baby Show last August, we were blown away by how innovative and modern it is. The seat is completely customizable and will truly grow with your child (holds up to 330 lbs.) We also love that the Nomi has taken a family-centered approach to meal time for baby and beyond!

Gabri Isle Outerwear: The weather has been downright brutal in parts of the US this winter. We are constantly trying to find cold-weather solutions to both keep baby warm and get some needed fresh air. We love the Mini Loke Thermo Suit (available in ‘Deep Navy’ and ‘Dusty Purple’) as a multi-season solution to the elements. We think this suit is especially great for urban families who need to keep their little ones warm as they walk throughout the city.

Skip Hop Playview Expandable Enclosure: Featuring six adorable cloud mesh panels, the Skip Hop enclosure is a perfect safe space to put baby down when you need to give your arms (or back) a break. Easily customizable, you can choose to use as a freestanding play space or against the wall (mounts included) as a room divider. Plus, there is a clip on activity surface to grow with your little one.

Press Pause Project: Press Pause Project products are formulated with Cannabidiol (commonly known as CBD), which is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis or marijuana plant. Press Pause Project uses CBD in the line to help alleviate problems many new parents face; stress, anxiety, depression, pain, etc. Specifically geared towards women, they have formulated 100% organic creams, oils, and capsules that will help new moms and old moms alike! Plus, as they continue to grow, they are invested in giving back to women-based organizations.

Best Baby Food Processor: Mumum

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When it comes to making your baby’s food, it can be overwhelming to try to create recipes and cook healthy food for your little one, which is why we’re big fans of the best baby food processor – the Mumum baby food processor. The Mumum is the best baby food processor with 4-in-1 capabilities to defrost, steam, cook, and blend for baby. It couldn’t be easier to use and is a huge time saver for all parents. Read on to see why the Mumum is the best baby food processor to add to your registry.

The Mumum Baby Food Processor is the best baby food processor for so many reasons! Not only is it a compact device, so it would fit in a small apartment or home, but it truly takes parents through the whole baby food making process in such a simple way. It’s the best baby food processor for work from home parents as well, because it has a built in timer, so you can prep, set, and come back to the bell – voila! Baby food is done. Mumum is the best baby food processor for parents who want to ensure they know what’s in their baby’s food, even if they don’t have much time to make the food, because it couldn’t be easier to make your own baby food with the Mumum. Simply chop your veggies or fruits up, place diced food into the steaming basket, pour water into the tank, steam veggies, pour the steamed veggies into the blender and baby food is done!

One of the other reasons the Gugu Guru team thinks Mumum is the best baby food processor is that it is designed to have an open reservoir, this allows you to keep out rust, mold and any other bacteria buildups that a closed reservoir will present. It also makes it super easy to clean and put away, which means less time in the kitchen for you. The timer comes with food type examples next to it to help you set the correct time. Also included is a lid strainer to pour out excess water. A spatula to flip the steaming basket into the blender and a measuring cup. We love the compact size of the Mumum, as it can be used and kept on the counter or put away in a cabinet without taking up too much space. Plus, the ease of the whole process can actually be done with one hand, so you can safely babywear or hold baby in one arm and make their food with your other hand!

The Mumum is also the best baby food processor for baby led weaning, too. Simply steam any veggies baby likes in the steaming basket and serve when they’re cool. Baby will be able to grab the veggies with their little fingers, but they will be mushy enough for them to not choke. At a very affordable price (and on Amazon Prime), we think the Mumum is the best baby food processor to add to your registry, as it will be beneficial not only for baby food, but baby led weaning, and even toddlers, too.

Thank you to our friends at Mumum for making this sponsored post possible!

Well, it’s official, the Royal Baby Boy is here! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton and Prince William, welcomed a brand new prince into the Royal Family on April 23rd, at St Mary’s Hospital, London, at 11:01 BST, weighing 8lb 7oz.

Kate Middleton has used the Silver Cross Balmoral Pram in Navy ($2,699.00) with her first two babies, and is expected to use it for the new Prince as well. The Silver Cross Balmoral is the definitive luxury pram, still crafted by hand in Silver Cross’ original factory in Yorkshire, England, using traditional methods. Exuding British engineering at its best, the iconic design is the embodiment of quality and craftsmanship; from the polished chrome chassis to the hand stitched fabrics and the hallmark hand painted fine line detail. The gorgeous shape and detailing are matched by the famous Silver Cross ride, a wonderful bouncing glide created by the patented C-spring chassis. A sumptuous cotton pram liner and mattress ensures that your baby is transported in the greatest comfort, and the classic Balmoral suspension guarantees peaceful strolling for your newborn.

Every Royal baby needs a silicone crown teether, right? This one is the Crown Silicone Teether from LouLou Lollipop and it’s adorable – basic, but a super fun shape! It is made from 100% FDA approved food grade silicone, and BPA, Phthalates, Lead, Cadmium and PVC FREE. It features raised nubs at the back of the teether to help message your baby’s sore gum.

This oh-so-lovely London print blanket will sure get everyone talking! This blanket features Lou Lou Lollipop’s signature 4-layers of super soft quilted bamboo muslin and is machine washable.

Stripped Baby Registry with Ali Levine

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

One of our most popular baby registry posts ever has been our minimalist baby registry product picks; with minimalism sweeping the nation, it’s no shock to us that more and more parents are looking for multipurpose baby items which also take up less and less space. When gorgeous stylist to the stars Ali Levine appeared on the Bravo TV show Stripped, we were intrigued and quickly became hooked on the show! Stripped of literally all of her and her husband’s belongings, Ali had to decide which items were necessities to retrieve back, and which items could wait until later. We loved this concept and how closely it resembled minimalism, so when Ali announced she was pregnant with a little girl, we worked together to create her Stripped Baby Registry. You can find the lovely Ali Levine on her website, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

BBox Diaper Caddy: We are huge fans of the BBox Diaper Caddy for minimalist parents, as it can hold everything you need for diaper changes and can be carried easily from room to room, so you won’t need a diaper station in every room of the house. See why we think the BBox Diaper Caddy is ideal for gender neutral nurseries, too.

Bloom Baby Wipes: With every new baby comes a lot of wipes – and you can use them for so many things! We have recently fallen in love with Bloom Baby Wipes, as they are all natural, a large size (covers more tush!), and smells great – plus, super safe for even the most sensitive of baby skin. Check out these real mom reviews of Bloom Baby Wipes.

Finn + Emma Clothing: When it comes to baby clothing for a minimalist parent, you want clothing which is soft enough to double as pajamas and clothing – a two-for-one! Plus, with a modern style, no one would ever notice your little one is wearing pajamas as clothes! Finn + Emma is a 100% organic baby clothing line which mixes classic and contemporary design, modern and whimsical, stylish and utilitarian, all of which are free from any toxic chemicals. Finn + Emma believes that beautiful and healthy baby items can be both sustainable and stylish. Check out why Gugu Guru thinks Finn + Emma is a fantastic company to purchase from.

Copper Pearl Swaddle Blanket: We are loving these super soft swaddle blankets from Copper Pearl; made of premium knit, these soft blanket sets are lightweight and breathable, meaning your little one will stay comfy and cozy without overheating. Their large size means they grow with your child, from receiving blanket to toddler play mat, which makes them multipurpose and perfect for a Stripped registry.

ErgoPouch Swaddle: The ErgoPouch Cocoon ‘no origami’ baby Swaddle and Sleep bag is designed to be both easy to use and difficult to escape from. The simple zip up design will keep baby snug and securely swaddled without the need for complicated wrapping. The ErgoPouch Swaddle is ideal for Ali’s Stripped minimalist baby registry with its 2-in-1 functionality – there are poppers in the armholes to transform from a swaddle to a sleeping bag. Made with eco-friendly, breathable fabric, the simple zip up design will keep baby snug and securely swaddled.

Rookie Humans Crib Sheet: Rookie Humans crib sheets are beyond adorable and ready for everyday use on the crib! Rookie Humans was created by a mama who loved to take photos of her kids, and wanted to create awesome backgrounds to take photos. These crib sheets double as photo backdrops and each design is a limited edition, perfect for the baby of a stylish mama!

Skip Hop Moby SoftSpot Sink Bather: Ideal for a minimalist registry is this soft bather from Skip Hop which turns your sink into a safe baby bath. Perfectly sized to cradle newborns and infants, the SoftSpot’s plush and supportive sink bather is a must-have for your baby’s first baths. With a soft terry surface and a padded whale tail to protect baby’s head, the cushioned design fits in bathroom and kitchen sinks to cradle infants for comfy and convenient bathing. The mesh bottom drains water quickly and the Velcro strap makes it easy to hang dry.

mamaRoo: The mamaRoo by 4moms has become the ultimate staple for all nurseries; why do so many parents love this innovative product so much? Because it mimics the motion of a parent to soothe baby so mom and dad can have a quick break! The mamaRoo is unique because sways from side to side, just like parents do when comforting their babies. The mamaRoo features five unique motions and five speed options. Soothe your baby with one of the four built-in sounds, or connect any MP3 device to the mamaRoo. The mamaRoo seat offers full recline to allow baby to lie back and relax or sit up and play. Check out the mamaRoo in our Cause-Driven Baby Registry as well.

Ergo Baby ADAPT Cool Mesh Carrier: A baby carrier is a must-have for any new parent, as babies love to be held, but you can use your arms and keep baby close at the same time – a win win! We’re big fans of the ErgoBaby ADAPT Carrier for new parents, as it is super comfortable to wear and keeps you and baby cool. Plus, this is a perfect pick for a minimalist parent because you can use the carrier from newborn to toddler years, as it has super lumbar support and the mesh body will keep you from overheating as the baby grows.

Baby Shusher: Babies love white noise, as it reminds them of being in the womb, and if you’re going to have a new baby in the house, you’re going to want the Baby Shusher. This innovative baby sleep device is one of the only products on the market that uses a recorded human voice to help with baby sleep training. This sleeping device for babies features rhythmic ‘shushes’ recorded that can play up to 30 minutes at a time. This helps to interrupt your baby’s crying session and engages their relaxation and calming reflex. The shushing noise reminds babies, especially preemies and newborns, of being in the womb, which helps them calm down and sleep easier. Check out why we love the Baby Shusher for Back to Sleep.

NuRoo Pocket: Designed for hands free skin-to-skin contact, NuRoo engineered the Pocket using their signature fabric and added ventilation. It features mesh under arms and back releases heat and a support belt. We love how stylish the NuRoo Pocket looks, and when it comes to breastfeeding, it’s wonderful to have baby close – plus, skin-to-skin contact is known to increase milk supply, so the NuRoo Pocket can help keep you stylish, close to baby, and improving your milk supply. The NuRoo Pocket is machine washable, too!

Uniquely J Coffee: Every new parent needs something to keep them going during witching hour or in the middle of the night, we’d be remiss to not mention how much we love Jet.com’s Uniquely J fair trade coffee – it’s super delicious and will help give you that second wind you need when baby wakes up!

Babo Botanicals: When it comes to what you put on your baby’s skin, we always go to Babo Botanicals for the safest and most sensitive creams, lotions, and soaps. Their Newborn Essentials Gift Set has everything you need to keep your little one clean and their skin so baby soft. Including their Moisturizing Baby Lotion, Moisturizing Shampoo and Wash, and Soothing Diaper Cream. What’s best, this set is free from Gluten, Dairy, Soy, Peanuts, Almonds, Walnuts, SLS, Sulfates, Parabens, Phthalates, Synthetic Fragrances, Dyes, Sodium chloride, Formaldehyde, MEA, DEA, TEA, and most common allergens – making it super safe for baby. You can find Babo Botanicals in our Jet City Baby Picks, too.

MAM Bottles: Ideal for newborns, the innovative MAM Anti-Colic Bottle makes the transition between breast and bottle feeding easy. The patented Anti-Colic vented base ensures babies can drink calmly and relaxed while ventilation holes regulate the pressure balance. This allows for the milk to flow evenly without bubbles or foaming. The nipple’s SkinSoft textured surface and unique flat shape fits perfectly in the baby’s mouth making the switch between breast and bottle easy. MAM Anti-Colic bottles feature a leak-proof cap, wide openings and removable base for easy cleaning. See more on MAM bottles and why they’re a Gugu fave.

Skip Hop Mainframe Wide Open Diaper Backpack: Who has time to hunt through your jam-packed bag for diapers, snacks and other necessities? Not the busy moms we know. The Skip Hop Mainframe Wide Open Diaper Backpack makes it easy to access everything that’s packed inside thanks to a structured frame that opens wide—and stays put—for a clear view. An innovative combination of soft fabric and sleek structure, the sporty, lightweight design features a large main compartment with a secure zip closure, plus lots of pockets for essentials like your phone and water bottles. Easy-grab double top handles and adjustable backpack straps make this user-friendly look the ultimate in hands-free ease. See why we love Skip Hop’s new Tray Chic Dry and Store Pump Bag, too!

Estella Toys: Every baby needs new toys to play with, especially when they need something to learn to grasp and pinch, so why not make sure their toys put a smile on your face too? We’re loving the toys from Estella for Ali’s stripped baby registry; Estella’s collection of handmade baby toys are all organic, non-toxic, and safe for newborns. All of Estella’s baby rattles are handmade in Peru by local craftsmen using 100-percent GOTS-certified organic cotton. These eco-friendly baby toys are educational and designed to stimulate your little one’s mind. They feature soft textures, bold hues, and soothing sounds that will capture your child’s attention and engage their senses. Babies can use these soft and stuffed plush toys to engage in imaginative play as they grow into toddlers.

Polka Dot Print Shop Book: Every new mama needs a special baby book to write and save all of her memories in! We love the chic and modern designs from Polka Dot Print Shop, as well as the prompts and questions inside. This special book will quickly become a mom-favorite and a family heirloom. Created by a busy mama of four, each page was carefully designed in such a way that you won’t need to devote hours upon hours of your precious time each month to filling it out. Pick it up when you have a spare moment and write down your memories. Quick, simple and to the point. These made in America books aren’t just for baby memories, they have Bump books, toddler books, school years, and even expansion packs.

Covered Goods Nursing Cover: Since we were working on a stripped registry for Ali, we knew we had to feature multi-purpose products, such as the Covered Goods Nursing Cover. This cover, which comes in a ton of different colors, is the original multi-use cover and can be a nursing cover, cart cover, carseat cover, or even a chic scarf for mama! Learn more about why we love Covered Goods.

MAM pacifiers: Gugu Guru is a huge fan of the MAM pacifiers and knew Ali had to have them on her stripped essentials list – especially the glow in the dark ones! Recent clinical studies prove that the MAM Perfect Pacifier supports healthy teeth and jaw development, and in a recent study, the MAM Perfect Pacifier was shown to be the tooth friendliest of any pacifiers tested. Learn more about the MAM Pacifiers here.

DockATot: This baby lounger is a must-have for any minimalist and stripped down family – the DockATot can easily be moved from room to room and grows with baby – as a place to lounge, snuggle, and play. Coming in a huge assortment of colors, you’re sure to find one which fits your style. As Ali is also an avid traveler, we wanted to make sure she had a DockATot, as they are a Wanderlust must-have for Gugu Guru.

Junkless Chewy Granola Bars: As a new mom, especially breastfeeding mamas, need to make sure to feed themselves – and sometimes you only have one hand to do so! That’s why we’re huge fans of Junkless Chewy Granola Bars. Coming in Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip, 100% REAL Strawberries, and Cinnamon Roll, they have no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives, no hydrogenated oils, no high fructose corn syrup, 0g trans fat; and what’s more, they have less sugar than many other leading granola bars –6 or less grams per bar. See why we think Junkless Chewy Granola Bars are a must have for the diaper bag!

City Baby Picks for Playtime

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

As your baby grows, it is fun to pick out playtime items for them to grow and learn with; as an urban parent, however, you want the items and toys to not only fit within your urban dwelling, but serve multipurpose uses and look good in your home decor! We’re excited to showcase our experts’ picks for playtime fun for your city baby. Have a question about any of these playtime essentials? You can call them 24/7 and talk to a real live person!

Check out our other city baby picks for sleeping essentials, beauty and wellness, feeding, living, and on-the-go.

3 Sprouts Hedgehog Play Mat Bag: We love us a 2-in-1 product and this play mat and tote bag is no exception. Scatter baby’s toys about this adorable play mat and once the fun is over, simply grab the handles, pack up and go! Great for around the house, the park or travel.

Baby Bjorn Bouncer Bliss, Quilted: One of our minimalist essentials and must-haves all around is the BABYBJORN Bouncer Bliss. Its lightweight design is portable and folds flat. Your child will enjoy gentle, natural bouncing – no batteries or cords are needed, and Bouncer Bliss makes no noise. Use Bouncer Bliss from newborn and up to the age of two years. Once your child has learned to sit unaided, you can turn the fabric around and use it as a comfortable children’s chair.

Puj Bath Treads: These colorful treads from Puj offer safety to your little, while – most importantly – easily keeping clean. The easy on and off adhesive design sticks to the tub without fostering mildew and bacteria (like suction mats) and you can clean them with the wipe of any safe household cleaner.

Finn + Emma Baby 100% Organic Rattle Buddy: Finn + Emma Rattle Buddies are hand-knit dolls made with organic cotton yarn that have phthalate-free rattles inside. These knit toys are made with eco-friendly dies and inks, 100% organic cotton yarn and stuffed with sheep’s wool.

Finn + Emma Play Gym: A minimalist will absolutely love this play gym that is so sophisticated, it doesn’t even look like baby gear. What’s more is that Finn+Emma is made of a 100% birch wood frame finished with non-toxic stains and lacquers.

Finn+ Emma 2 Piece Stroller Set: Non-toxic toys to keep baby occupied while strolling are a must-have for city living. Finn+Emma’s knit buddy is made from organic cotton yarn and stuffed with sheep’s wool; its counterpart wood buddy is made from Indian hardwood and finished with vegetable seed wax.

Finn+Emma Wood Rattle Teether: Photog parents unite! This wood teething rattle made from Indian hardwood, finished with natural vegetable seed wax, and stuffed with beans is soft, smooth, and very safe for your little.

Indestructibles Book Set: Colorful series of baby books that are completely safe for baby playtime plus chew-proof, drool-proof, and rip-proof.

Lamaze Freddie the Firefly: Every parent needs a toy to attach to the stroller or car seat to keep baby amused during travel time. We love the take-along toys from Lamaze, like Freddie the Firefly. Babies will love to play with the crinkly wings, peekaboo mirror and clacking rings.

Nook LilyPad Organic Playmat: When it comes to an eco-friendly place for baby to play during playtime, you really can’t get better than this Nook LilyPad Organic Playmat. It’s made with eucalyptus – a natural moisture-wicking, breathable material – organic cotton, and PETE (woven BPA free recycled water bottle meshwork.)

Sophie la Girafe Set Teether & Book: Sure, she may be ubiquitous, but Sophie the Giraffe has become something of an icon for the modern mom set. Made from 100% natural rubber and totally adorable, Sophie is a must-have teething toy for every baby.

Every little love needs a little crown, right? When it comes to crowns for your royal baby, we always turn to Raven Boutique. With crowns of all styles and sizes, made from lace, they are not only stylish and royal, but comfortable for baby, too.

Baby George is a huge fan of British company Rachel Riley; during the royal tour to Australia, George wore three items by Rachel Riley and all sold out almost immediately!

Cath Kidston is a longtime favorite of the Royal Family, and we’re loving this Breton stripped diaper bag. A smart stripy Everyday Changing Bag that dads will be happy to carry too. It’s packed with a quilted changing mat, matching zip pouch and insulated bottle holder, plus plenty of pockets for all baby’s essentials. With shoulder and cross-body straps.
