What’s New on Gugu: February 5, 2020

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

Calling all last-minute Valentine’s Day shoppers! Below are some great gift ideas for your loved ones with V-Day right around the corner! Coming in at all different price points, these gifts are sure to wow your little loves and big babes! Be sure to share any of your favorite gift ideas with us as well. We love hearing from our Village!

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

Honey Bug’s Valentine’s Day Boxes: These adorable gift boxes from Honey Bug are the perfect gift for your little ones to celebrate our holiday of hearts. While their Valentine’s Day Boxes are flying off the shelf, we also love their standard gift boxes, which are curated by the Honey Bug mamas. These boxes are unique and will truly stand out amongst the monotony of the same baby gifts!

mamaRoo Sleep

4moms mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet: The long-awaited sleep bassinet from 4moms has finally arrived! What better gift to give than the gift of sleep?! Featuring 5 unique movements, you can control any movement or sound via the app. This is a safe sleep environment and can help keep your little one safe in your room until they reach 25 lbs or can push up on their hands/knees (whichever comes first).

Uppababy Vista V2

UPPAbaby VISTA V2 and CRUZ V2: The newest version of the UPPAbaby VISTA and CRUZ have finally arrived! Both strollers have been updated with seat/harness improvements, suspension upgrades (SO excited about this!) and wheel upgrades as well as a more compact fold for the CRUZ V2. The VISTA V2 has also updated it’s canopy. While definitely an investment, both strollers will hold up for years and throughout multiple children! A great Valentine’s Day gift for yourself or baby!

Hooray Heroes

Hooray Heroes Personalized Books: Nothing warms a parent’s heart more than a personalized gift. Turn on the water works this Valentine’s Day by securing these amazingly adorable books for Mom or Dad. You can truly personalize the characters and the storyline to fit your needs. Plus they are super high quality and will last for years!

Copper Pearl

Copper Pearl ‘XOXO’ Collection: Available in time for Valentine’s Day, we love how adorable (and gender-neutral!) this ‘XOXO’ collection is from Copper Pearl. Available in a swaddle blanket, hat, and multi-use cover there is something for everyone! If gender-neutral isn’t your style, check out the Lola print too!

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

This week we’ve got quite the round-up from small companies and big brands. Most of these are newer products, which have entered the market in 2020 as we are all getting ready to welcome our next batch of Gugu Guru babes. Be sure to let us know any of your favorite new product finds in the comments below!

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

Ergobaby Embrace

Ergobaby Embrace: The newest carrier from our friends at Ergobaby, the Embrace gives you the comfort of a wrap carrier with the added support and structure. Extremely easy to use from 7lbs without an infant insert, stay close to your baby while remaining hands free. The carrier is easily adjustable for multiple caregivers and can fit in a diaper bag when not in use. Check it out today!

Contours Stroller

Contours Options Elite Sit & Boogie Jump Seat & Platform: For those of us with toddlers who no longer want to sit in a stroller seat, but need the stroller functionality, your wish has been granted! This will instantly turn your Contours Options Elite into a fun riding board (or seat) for your older kiddo while still safely and easily transporting baby. The perfect addition for your growing and aging family!

Boo Boo Balls

Boo Boo Balls: Created by a college student, Boo Boo Balls are adorable plush first aid kits meant to help your little ones biggest ouchies! Complete with everything you’d need to make those boo boos go away, this is the perfect thing to have at home and in the car!

Avyn Bras: Another disrupter to the nursing bra market, we love Avyn’s approach to comfort, style, and function. Founded by two women, they are revolutionizing the nursing/pumping game with one-handed machine washable (AND DRYER FRIENDLY) bras. The perfect gift for your friend who’s expecting a little one or two… or three!

Skip Hop Diaper Bag

Skip Hop Go Envi Eco-Friendly Diaper Backpack: Calling all eco-friendly families! Skip Hop has recently launched their newest bag, created from recycled plastic bottles.

Larktale Strollers: Gear Up for Endless Adventures with Babe

by Mel Blume Leave a Comment

If you haven’t heard of the award-winning baby gear brand Larktale already, your on-the-go life is about to change. It all starts with the name. According to the brand’s innovative founders, Larktale’s mission is embedded into their name: ‘Lark’ means adventure and ‘tale’ is a story. They want users of Larktale products to continue to write their story, and embark upon new adventures—with their little one in tow. 

With this philosophy in mind, Larktale’s team of parents created a lightweight, safe, high-quality product line that lifts the confidence of first-time parents and gives them access to an out-and-about lifestyle without the anxiety. Not only are the strollers reliable, functional, fashionable and easy—they are also highly affordable when compared to the options available in the market. 

Larktale strollers

Winner of Best-All-Around Stroller for Urban Parents, the Coast Stroller is celebrated for its full-sized features designed in a compact, easy-to-navigate size. The quick trigger release lets parents and caregivers fold and unfold in seconds. While in use, parents can easily navigate through crowds, shopping aisles and the subway. Then, the ultra-compact folded stroller can be carried without superhuman strength up long stairwells and stores easily in apartments and trunks. 

If you’re looking for a green-friendly stroller, Larktale’s Chit Chat Stroller won the 2019 Eco Excellence Award for its recyclable design. Weighing only 14.5 lbs, it’s easy to maneuver and can be picked up by parents and caretakers with ease. Its luxurious look, convenient build and awesome colors make outings enjoyable—for everyone. Plus, it makes impromptu park visits and coffee dates oh-so possible in that first year. An added bonus: if you don’t pass this stroller onto another family, it is recyclable! So, you can responsibly dispose of it. 

When we learned about Larktale and their dreamy mission around new stories and adventures, we couldn’t wait to share it all with you. When your little one comes, it doesn’t mean the fun has to come to a pause. Keep your journey going, keep writing your stories, never stop exploring. Your family will thank you.

What’s New on Gugu: October 25, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

While we took a brief hiatus due to our Working Mother Registry + Giveaways (if you haven’t checked them out, there are some AWESOME giveaways on our blog), we are back at it in full swing this week for What’s New on Gugu. Instead of highlighting 5 new items this week, I’m back with 10 items that have launched (or will be launching) in the baby market. From strollers to nursery gear and everything in between, take a look at some of our newest finds!

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

Gooselings: Gooselings was inspired by ‘Hygge,’ the Scandinavian lifestyle leading to feeling calm and content. All of Gooselings products have been created to help add calm to our hectic daily lives with kids. These high-quality duvets and duvet covers are the perfect thing to bring your family together during playtime and add that sense of calm to the end of any work day. Plus they are easily packed for plane or car travel.

mamaroo sleep

4moms mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet: The newest product to hit the market from 4moms will launch early next year and moves like you do! With movement patterns similar to the mamaRoo, this sleep situation will be perfect for keeping your little one close for middle of the night feedings and diaper changes.

Nuna Triv

Nuna Triv Stroller: Triv is the newest stroller option from our friends at Nuna! This lightweight, easy-to-push stroller allows you to easily change between seat and car seat. It has a large storage basket and spring suspension, giving you a smooth push. Plus it’s one-handed fold can’t be beat!

Formerly Yan

FORMERLY YAN: We love this new maternity clothing line, which is designed specifically for changing silhouettes. Check out their Little Black Dress with Side Zippers or their Jogger Style Trousers, two of our favorites! These pieces are great for a day in the office or a night out on the town!

Uppababy

UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Cruz V2: UPPAbaby has updated their classic Cruz (single) and Vista (convertible) strollers for 2020! Both strollers are getting updated suspension –hello easier push!—as well as new colors/fabric options. The Cruz is also getting bigger wheels, a downsized fold, and a larger seat while the Vista will be seeing a no rethread harness and a larger canopy. These are expected to be released in February 2020!

Skip Hop High Chair

Skip Hop Feeding Line and Convertible High Chair: Skip Hop has launched both their feeding line and their Sit-to-Step High Chair! Great for infants and toddlers alike, this high chair reclines for easy bottle feeding, slides right up to the table, and turns into a toddler step stool. The feeding line is full of must have essentials, great for feeding at home or on the go.

Tranquilo

Tranquilo Products: Looking for a solution to help soothe baby when nothing seems to be working?! Look no further than Tranquilo! Their portable vibrating mat helps mimic the sounds from mom’s womb, instantly helping calm baby. The baby soothe massager is also great for use at home or on the go. All of these products are perfect for travel!

Finnbin

Finnbin: In Finland, parents are actually given a free cardboard baby box, which will provide their little ones with a safe sleeping environment from day one. Finnbin has stepped up this theory, providing high-quality Baby Boxes filled with all sorts of newborn necessities. Easy to move around the house and much more affordable than today’s standard bassinet, the Finnbin can definitely be your go-to baby gift!

Crawligator

Crawligator: Make tummy time fun with this JPMA Innovation Award Winner! The Crawligator helps your little one strengthen all of those muscles needed to begin crawling. Simply place your babe on top of the Crawligator and begin to move them forward slowly. A great way for parents and little ones to complete play time together!

Drinking for Two

Drinking for Two: A great gift for your girlfriend who just announced she is pregnant, Drinking for Two, is an adorable mocktail book aimed at combating pregnancy-related symptoms. Featuring 45+ non-alcoholic, plant-based mocktail recipes that are high in nutrients and low in sugar, this is the perfect coffee table book throughout pregnancy and beyond!

Out + About with Evenflo: Innovative Gear You’ll Love

by Mel Blume Leave a Comment

Outings with your little can contain struggles and juggles—but they don’t have to. Evenflo developed a line of popular products that are replacing those moments with ease and comfort. A pioneer in the baby market, Evenflo’s innovative gear perfectly fuses security and comfort with high-tech designs to deliver safe and enjoyable out-and-about experiences for you and your babe.

Evenflo’s patented SensorSafe™ technology connects you to your little one the entire time, in real time. It’s built into the clip of their car seats and strollers and alerts you, through the app, if babe gets unbuckled or if the temperature is too warm. When verbal communication doesn’t yet exist, this connectivity to babe’s needs is invaluable—and it is found in the products below.

Evenflo Wagon

One stroller we absolutely love is the Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon. It easily transforms into an adventure-ready wagon—with the flip of a handle. This change lets you stroll with up to two kids, up to age five! The terrain wheels make sandy, beach day strolls simple and joyful, while the UPF 50+ canopies are an incredible add-on (one less thing to worry about).

Evenflo Shyft

We also found the Evenflo® Gold Shyft™ Modular Travel System to be a game-changer. This versatile, infant-to-toddler stroller offers six different modes of use and a three-position reclining seat to keep babe smiling through adventures, big and small. Forward-facing or parent-facing,  this sleek, functional Shyft rolled onto our list as soon as we learned about it.

Evenflo Gold Securemax

Road trip? Whether you’re getting groceries or going to Grandma’s, it’s essential to find a car seat that’s secure and safe. The built-in security aspects of the Evenflo Gold SensorSafe™ SecureMax™ Smart Infant Car Seat caught our attention right away. Along with the SensorSafe™ to keep you at peace while you’re behind the wheel, the ultra-simple harness makes it easy to adjust babe’s constantly-changing size. Another tremendous feature to note: the SafeZone Load Leg Technology. It stabilizes the car seat and reduces rotation by 50%.

Evenflo Convertible

Lastly, this all-in-one convertible car seat features a grow-with-me design that can stay with your kiddo from 4lbs to 120lbs! Designed for 10 years of use, the Evenflo Gold SensorSafe™ EveryStage™ Smart All-in-One Convertible Car Seat has an in-seat reclining feature to offer extra support and comfort, and more importantly, has EasyClick™ installation. This feature makes your little one’s car seat 3X tighter than the competition—ensuring a wiggle-free, protected journey.

Wherever you go, Evenflo has a pioneering product to lead you down your path with ease. Check them out (Use code GUGUGURU10 for 10% off any of these items) and enjoy the ride.

Thank you to Evenflo for making this sponsored post possible!

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

ZoLi Lunch Gear from ZoLi: Some great new options from ZoLi, which will make school lunch instantly easier to pack! The POW DINE will help keep your kiddos lunch hot or cold for hours, making lunch time instantly more delicious. When you want to pack both a hot and cold item (or two different items in either category) the THIS + THAT will be your must-have! A perfect way to have a home cooked and well-balanced meal. Finish up with the POW SQUEAK, the perfect water bottle for keeping your little ones hydrated throughout the day!

Lillebaby SerenityLíllébaby Serenity Carrier: For those parents and caregivers trying to maneuver school drop off with a baby, this new carrier is sure to be a must-have! We love the adjustability of the seat, which makes this carrier perfect for infancy through toddlerhood (7-45 lbs) and the lumbar support will help keep away any back pain. We also love the breathable mesh panel, which will help keep you and baby comfortable during warm weather even while waiting for the bus!

PlaePLAE Tab Designer: Head back to school in style, created by your little one! We love PLAE shoes, especially because they are so easy for your toddler or school-aged little one to get on/off independently! Now, they have added one more customizable step to the shopping process. Create your own tabs to rock on any of your PLAE shoes! Perfect for highlighting their favorite team or their latest artwork these will truly be one of a kind!

Bugaboo LynxBugaboo Lynx: The newest addition to the Bugaboo family, the Lynx is an excellent all-terrain, yet lightweight stroller choice! Perfect for the walk to school or daycare, it’s huge basket can hold all of the backpacks while it’s suspension makes it a dream to push. Plus, you can fold it without having to take off the seat! A huge plus when you’re trying to run in/out of drop-off with multiple kids! Available in October or for pre-order now.

What’s New on Gugu: Chicago Baby Show Edition

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

We were off to the Chicago Baby Show this week to see what’s new in the baby world! The Gugu Guru team loved learning all about the latest and greatest items for babies and toddlers. Below is our wrap up of some of our favorite new finds. Some of these are brand new to the market and some may be familiar faces. We LOVE hearing about new products, so please never hesitate to send our way!

 

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

CoralUV

CoralUV Sanitizer and Dryer: We have been so excited about the launch of the CoralUV since we met one of the Co-founders last year at the Chicago Baby Show! You will fall in love with this machine while sanitizing and drying bottles, pacifiers, and teethers but it won’t end there! Continue to fall in love over and over again as you sanitize small toys, sippy cups, remotes, and anything else that comes in contact with your little ones. It’s also great for Mom’s makeup brushes! Now that they have formally launched, we know this will be a favorite appliance of parents for years to come!

Evenflo Pivot Xplore

Evenflo Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon: We mentioned this new stroller wagon by Evenflo earlier this year when it was announced. It has now launched and is gaining fame by the minute! This is the perfect solution to older toddlers and young children who no longer want to ride in the stroller. Each seat will hold up to 55 lbs and there are both car seat adapters and toddler seats available. We also love the fact that this can have either a wagon ‘pull’ or a stroller ‘push.’

Larktale Stroller

Larktale Strollers – chit chat and coast: Launching earlier this year, Larktale brings two new strollers to the US market! The chit chat is a great lightweight option, perfect for travel or that everyday on-the-go family. The frame is also made from recyclable fiber-infused nylon, which is both eco-friendly and incredibly strong. The coast is Larktale’s all-terrain stroller, which is newborn compatible and has great all-wheel suspension. It even folds up small enough to fit in any trunk. Great compact, well made strollers!

m1 Carrier by Lascal

M1 Carrier by Lascal: A new fantastic find by one of our favorite companies, Regal Lager. The M1 Carrier is truly an adaptable carrier that has been designed with both baby and parent in mind. Made of completely breathable fabric, you will also be able to use this with one hand. No more struggling to get your little one in/out of the carrier alone! Newborn compatible (without an insert!), the seat will also change based on your little one’s needs. Plus it will provide ample lumbar support for anyone carrying baby!

Olababy

Olábaby Transitional Sippy Lid: Olábaby bottles remain some of our top recommendations, especially for parents who want eco-friendly without the weight of glass. When we stopped by their booth at the Chicago Baby Show, they had lots of fun things to show us. We were most excited about their Transitional Sippy Lid, which will attach to your current Olábaby bottles and help ease your babe’s transition. No more struggling with new spoutless cups or straw cups for months. This is a great, budget-friendly investment!

Lalo

Lalo: The brains behind both ‘The Daily’ (stroller) and ‘The Chair’ were showcasing all of their products’ features this year. We loved taking a stroll with the Daily and seeing how much we could really stuff in that large (adjustable) basket. We also were so intrigued at how easy ‘The Chair’ is to clean. Plus we love that it adjusts to a toddler size chair. We can’t wait to see what else comes out of the Lalo team this next year! Lalo has also partnered with BabyQuest to assist couples and individuals with the cost of fertility treatments. Apply for the grant by Sept 5 by clicking here.

bets & emy

bets & emy Baby Wipes: These wipes will change your baby’s life if s/he suffers from sensitive skin! Made of 99.9% water and 0.1% citrus extract, these wipes will keep your little one free of painful diaper rash. However, different than other natural wipes on the market, these are textured and large, meaning you can actually use less wipes to clean up all of lifes ‘big’ messes! They are even soft enough to use on your face AND (fun fact from the owner) they will take off makeup!

Nuna Exec

Nuna Exec: Although this seat isn’t expected to launch in October, we loved seeing it this past weekend! Exclusive to Nordstrom, this seat will truly be the only seat you’ll ever need. Starting as a rear facing infant-compatible car seat, it features a built in anti-rebound bar, infant insert, and easy to install capabilities. When you’re ready to forward face, simply turn the seat around for your little one. As your kiddo gets older, this will even turn into a seat belt booster, with easy-to-store panels for the harness.

Newborn Must Haves for Active Families

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

Are you getting ready to welcome your little one? We were so thrilled to work with popular fitness influencer, Dasha Anderson (founder of Kettlebell Kickboxing) and her husband Dan as they prepared to welcome their first little lady! Fitness plays a big role in their household and we wanted to highlight that with our picks for this active couple. Below we teamed up with Dasha and Dan to look back on the past few months since welcoming Baby Ariana and highlight some of their favorite newborn essentials for active families.

Cybex Balios Stroller and Cybex Q Car Seat: Dasha has described this easy-to-use travel system as, “Sleek and comfortable! The car seat and stroller have been both hiking with me and strolling through New York City. The baby loves it and we feel stylish and secure in it. The safety features alone make this travel system a no brainer.” This travel system was an excellent choice for Dasha’s lifestyle both in and out of the city! Since Dasha lives just outside of NYC, weather can be a factor. We recommended she pair her stroller and car seat with the 7AM Enfant Poncho (great for the carrier or the stroller!) and Blanket 212 Evolution (also great for the stroller!) to help keep her little lady warm no matter what!

Joeyband

Joeyband by Sleepbelt: We love the Joeyband for new parents and Dasha’s family was no exception. When seated, the Joeyband offers hands-free support to baby, making those early days of skin-to-skin significantly easier. This was such an easy way to promote bonding between Dasha, her husband, and Baby Ari.

Fridababy Baby Basics Kit

Fridababy Baby Basics Kit: This kit is a must for any registry. The Nose Frida is now used in nearly every household with a newborn and the NailFrida makes nail clipping not so scary. The Cradle Cap brush will also help with those early baths. But the real must-have here is the Windi, which will help relieve baby’s gas in dire situations!

Diaper Dekor

Diaper Dekor: We loved this Diaper Pail for Dasha, because aesthetically it doesn’t scream “Dirty Diapers inside!” It does an excellent job keeping odors out of the room and comes in three sizes. It is completely hands-free, won’t dent or rust and can be converted to a regular trash can once you’re done with the diaper stage!

Love to Dream

Love to Dream Swaddle: Our favorite swaddles by Love to Dream allow baby to keep his/her hands up while still giving them that tight, womblike feeling. “Love to Dream Swaddles are the best because like most modern parents we spent some nights traveling to Grandmas or taking baby to our gym. The swaddle created a level of consistency no matter the crib or the setting!” These will help baby sleep well no matter where you are!

Belli Skincare

Belli Skincare Hello Glow Bundle: This bundle, which includes the Healthy Glow Facial Hydrator & Moisturizer and the Eye Brightening Cream is a favorite amongst our new moms. “Skin care is tricky when you have baby – you need the best products with the most natural ingredients. My skin was super dry and I had a hard time keeping up with my skin care routine. Belli made it easy! The consistency was great enough to have on all day and into night with no reapplication for a busy mom.”

4moms Breeze

4moms Breeze Playard: Having recently moved into a house and being a dog mom, Dasha needed somewhere that her little miss could play safely. “It is great to give your baby a safe and secure place in the home to move for tummy time or play time. It [also] really helps new moms actually run to the bathroom! Was anyone else scared to do this in the first few weeks?”

Baby K'tan Active

Baby K’tan Carrier: Since Dasha does so much work from home, we recommended the Baby K’tan carrier to use immediately after arriving home from the hospital. Also, we love the K’tan Active here for obvious reasons! “Baby K’tan was amazing for a working mom trying to get things done! It’s literally the only way I was able to type anything and the main reason I was caught up on my inbox. Plus the baby never felt like I was neglecting her.”

Crane Humidifier

Crane Humidifier: We love the Crane Humidifier for so many reasons! Dasha was due in February in New York, an extremely dry and cold time of year. To keep humidity up during the cold months, Dasha set up the Crane humidifier in the nursery. This is also super helpful when baby has his/her first cold, inevitable in the winter!

Stokke Tripp Trapp

Stokke Tripp Trapp w/ Newborn Seat: While it is an investment, this was Dasha’s top recommended product. “In all honesty, this was the BEST item on my list mainly because of the mileage we’ve put in this elegant chair. The newborn attachment allowed me to eat dinner, drink coffee, and answer email like a regular person – all while still being with my baby.”

Dasha is also the founder of Kettlebell Kickboxing and has created a series of fitness programs that are easy to complete at home with very little (or no!) equipment. Check them out today!

What’s New on Gugu: July 3, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

I have found a great lineup of products this week. A couple new pieces of technology, which will help with both feeding and sleep are new finds. We also took a look at the newest travel stroller to hit the market. Plus, there are some excellent accessories to help make breastfeeding more efficient.

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

Mammaway Freeze It Flat

Mammaway Freeze It Flat: An innovative way to freeze your breastmilk stash! Using breastmilk storage bags, simply pump your milk, place into the Freeze it Flat, and stick in the freezer. Once frozen, your stored milk will take up significantly less space. Great for working moms who have to pump at the office!

BlueSmart Mia2

BlueSmart Mia2: A new baby gift for your technologically saavy friend. The BlueSmart Mia2 will automatically record what your baby eats (and for how long) at each feeding. Pairing with an app via Bluetooth, you will no longer have to manually keep track of each feeding. Plus, it is compatible with most baby bottles!

Hatch Baby Rest Plus

Hatch Baby Rest Plus: One of our favorite sound machine/nightlights has now received an upgrade. Pair with their app to create a truly essential product for sleep that will grow with your little one. Now an audio monitor as well as a digital clock, this is a must have for any nursery.

Larken X Bra

Larken X Bra: Made of moisture-wicking, ultrasoft fabric, this nursing/pumping bra will be a great addition to your wardrobe. It allows you to pump hands-free without having to undress or change and is comfy enough to keep on all day long. There are also no snaps, zippers, or tags, making it far more comfortable as your size fluctuates.

Bugaboo Ant

Bugaboo Ant Travel Stroller: Bugaboo has entered the carry-on travel stroller game! The Ant is the only reversible seat travel stroller on the market and it offers great suspension. It has a height adjustable handle, a near-flat recline for newborns, and an adjustable seat height for taller kids. Available for pre-order now!

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.
