1. Doona Night Car Seat

Doona

The Doona Night Car Seat is an amazing invention that allows you to combine two important newborn purchases—the car seat and stroller—into one. The car seat accommodates children weighing four to 35 pounds (with a max height of 32 inches), and it comes equipped with integrated wheels. You simply pop the car seat out, then pop out the wheels. It streamlines the process of running errands with your baby and also saves space in your trunk—no need to stash a separate bulky stroller. This Doona handles well in stroller mode. This product comes with a base and seat protector to make cleanup easier.

This amazing product does come with a substantial price tag, and because it’s not a convertible car seat, you will end up needing to purchase a new seat as soon as baby hits the weight or height limits. It’s a bit heavier as compared to other infant car seats due to the stroller being integrated, but this isn’t much of a problem since you can just push instead of having to tote it around. This item is currently not eligible for Prime shipping.

Price: $637.95

Buy the Doona Night Car Seat here.




Pros:

  • Car seat + stroller combo that’s convenient and easy to use
  • Safe for children weighing four to 35 pounds
  • Includes base and seat protector

Cons:

  • Expensive
  • Not eligible for Prime shipping
  • Not a convertible car seat

2. Baby K’tan Smart Gear Diaper Bag

Updated in 2017, the Baby K’tan Smart Gear Diaper Bag is an innovative product that is designed with an integrated wet bag, as well as 14 storage pockets on the inside and outside. The lining is anti-microbial, water-resistant, odor-resistant and FDA food-grade; it’s designed specifically to protect your bag and your belongings from messy spills and stinky, wet clothing. These features make it the perfect option for schlepping around wet swim clothes, or even dirty cloth diapers! The polyurethane laminate waterproof interior lining is also BPA and PVC free. The 100% cotton exterior is machine washable on cold.

The style is pretty basic and no frills—it definitely looks like a diaper bag—but it comes in three styles (black, chevron and a black and white dandelion pattern). The black version is a great gender neutral option so dads can get in on the fun as well. There are some consumer reports of the zippers breaking and of the shoulder strap clips breaking after use.

Price: $59.95

3. Innobaby Aquaheat Stainless Steel Baby Bottle & Travel Bottle Warmer Set

Innobaby

You’re going to be amazed by the Innobaby Aquaheat Stainless Steel Baby Bottle & Travel Warmer Set. It’s the only bottle warmer on the market that doesn’t need a power source to heat baby’s milk or formula! It uses an innovative technology—warming heat packs that you place in the bottom of the warming pod and add water to. Voila! Your water heats up instantly, allowing you to place the stainless steel bottle directly in the warming pod for a super quick warm-up. It can heat milk in as quickly as one to two minutes. The bottle is made from food grade stainless steel; it’s BPA free, phthalate free, lead free and PVC free. The heat packs are safe, non-toxic and biodegradable. This product comes with a 10-ounce stainless steel bottle, a warming pod, a silicone stage 1 nipple, a nipple ring and cap, a neoprene sleeve and two heat packs.

The biggest drawback is that the heat packs are one-time-use only. This means you will end up having to shell out for more Innobaby heat packs on a regular basis. Additionally, if you don’t want your baby drinking out of the stainless steel bottle, you’ll have to make a transfer from the bottle to her drinking bottle, which can be messy or inconvenient.

Price: $34.95

Buy the Innobaby Aquaheat Stainless Steel Baby Bottle & Travel Bottle Warmer Set here.




Pros:

  • No need for a power source to warm bottles quickly
  • Bottle made from food grade stainless steel; BPA free, phthalate free, lead free and PVC free
  • Can warm as quickly as one to two minutes

Cons:

  • Must transfer milk/formula into stainless steel bottle, and then back into baby’s bottle
  • Heat packs are one-time-use only

4. Copper Pearl Baby Bandana Drool Bibs for Drooling & Teething (Claire Set)

Copper Pearl

These bandana drool bibs from Copper Pearl are brand new for 2017 and ready for your drooling, teething child. This set of four comes in a pack of pink and white feminine and floral patterns that are adorable for baby girls. They also come in lots of other adorable patterns and colors, including this Archer Set for boys. These drool bibs are made from 100% absorbent cotton on the front and 100% polyester fleece on the back. It’s really the fleece backing that sets these bibs apart, protecting baby’s delicate skin from excess moisture. These bibs have adjustable nickel-free snaps that are designed to grow with your baby—they should fit from around three months of age to around 24 months.

Some consumers have expressed that these bibs would be better if they were thicker and could absorb even more. Other consumers have noted that the packaging leaves something to be desired, especially if you are purchasing these as a gift. These bibs tend to run on the small side, so if you have a bigger baby, they may not fit all the way up to 24 months.

Price: $19.95 (20 percent off MSRP)

Buy the Copper Pearl Baby Bandana Drool Bibs for Drooling & Teething (Claire Set) here.

5. 3 Sprouts Play Mat Bag (Hedgehog)

3 Sprouts

The brand new 3 Sprouts Play Mat Bag is a two-in-one product that is just perfect for travel or overnights with grandma. It’s a sturdy canvas bag with substantial cotton handles that unfolds into the perfect play space for your little one. She can use it as a place to build with blocks, read or play with her favorite toys. It can also be used as a clean and safe surface for baby to crawl on, or even for her to practice tummy time! This version comes with a super cute gray hedgehog pattern. The bag folds and unfolds with ease, utilizing velcro to keep it together and corral all those toys. When spread out in play mat mode, it features a lip around the edges that keeps toys from escaping.

This mat is not padded, so it may be somewhat uncomfy for baby when used on harder surfaces. The canvas material and velcro can also be rough on baby’s delicate skin. The lip is great for keeping toys in, but it may make it difficult for crawling babies to maneuver.

Price: $24.99

Buy the 3 Sprouts Play Mat Bag (Hedgehog) here.

6. Nuroo the Swaddler One Size for All Babies (Goodnight Stars)

Nuroo

Nuroo came out with a new version of their one-size-for-all-babies swaddles in 2017 with some improvements from the previous version—mainly that the velcro is now stronger and holds up better after washing. This swaddle is special because it is designed specifically to grow with baby from newborn up to nine months old, with three different sizes built right in. There are two interior pockets, so when your baby grows out of the larger pocket, you can simply remove the seam and expand the length. Cool! This product was designed by two moms who obsessively researched the science behind swaddling to find out how it works and create the ultimate swaddle. Consumers rave about the fabric, which is stretchy and soft for baby at the same time. The stylish and gender neutral star pattern is great for modern parents and babies.

This product is not currently eligible for Prime shipping, but it does ship free within two days from the seller. Some consumers complain that the velcro can be loud when doing diaper changes at night. Additionally, some consumers have noted that their babies grow out of the swaddle before the nine-month mark.

WavHello

The SoundBub by WavHello White Noise Machine & Bluetooth Speaker is an adorable and fuzzy owl-shaped bedtime soothing machine and Bluetooth device in one!

Graco

The Graco DreamGlider Gliding Swing & Sleeper is, as the name suggests, a gliding swing and sleeper in one.

Skip Hop

The Skip Hop Explore & More Baby’s View 3-Stage Activity Center is a multi-use activity center that starts off as a bouncer for young babies. In bouncer mode, the seat rotates all the way around so baby can find all kinds of stimulation in the room she’s in. There are several toys that attach to the activity center, including a discovery window that allows baby to see her feet. With the toy attachment clips, you can position the toys anywhere around the center. As baby grows, she can use it as an activity center that she can play with while standing outside of it; and then, as she enters toddlerhood, the activity center turns into a table that can be used for all kinds of play and learning.
