Sometimes, a diaper bag needs to double as an overnight tote. Imagine the scenario: Your hubby just got you tickets to the ballet for Mother’s Day and Grandma–bless her heart–has offered to take your little one for the night. Once you begin packing everything she’ll need, it’s not long before you realize you are quickly running out of room. Rather than pack a separate bag for all that extra stuff, opt for Kushies Boho Diaper Bag, which has more pockets than a pair of overalls! There’s no way you can misplace that beloved binky now. We appreciate the padded changing pad that tucks right inside without taking up too much space and the two bottle pockets on the side that are perfect for the last-minute [&hellip

Fess up: just how many baby gear items do you lug around from your house, to Grandma’s and back home again? If you had the ability to fold up any of them and fit them into your diaper bag, you’d be in heaven…okay, well maybe your back would ache a little less. Snazzy Baby has the right idea with My Baby’s Own Deluxe Travel Chair, a portable high chair that can strap your little one in for mealtime, and when she’s finished eating, you fold into its own handy pouch and slip right into your bag. No fuss, no muss–and no slumped shoulders for you. In a Nutshell: Just because you’re already weighed down with a stroller and an Exersaucer doesn’t mean you can’t lighten [&hellip
As the saying goes, good things come in small packages. And when you’re talking about kids’ lunchboxes, the less bulky, the better (and the less likely to stuff them with junk food). With two new, sleek choices that are both sturdy and stylish, brown bags are no longer necessary. The yubo Lunch Box (left) will not only please kids, but moms, too. It’s dishwasher-safe, so any spills or “accidents in transit” (think overturned yogurt cups and jelly sandwiches gone haywire) are a non-issue. Because you can change the faceplates or personalize your own, kids never tire of the look. It’s worth investing in the deluxe yubo, which comes with three reusable food containers (does it feel like you can should take stock in Ziplocs?) and [&hellip
We’re always on the lookout for stylish ways to get around town with little ones. The new line of from BabyPlanet is one to road-test, especially now that the warm weather is here. Take your pick from any of the three new additions to the Endangered Species collection–the Giant Panda, the Lemur Frog and the Monarch Butterfly. And then there’s the two timi & leslie branded models, inspired by their ultra chic diaper bag collection. No matter which style you pick, you’ll appreciate standout features like the ergonomically designed handles that are easy to grip and the flip-out sun visor that works in a pinch when that bright glare can be a bit too much. If you opt for the timi & leslie line, you’ll [&hellip
Ready to get super-close to your baby? There are two new soft carriers on the market that will make you want to scoop her up and snuggle her inside one of them. Living up to its name, the FreeHand Baby Carrier (left) distinguishes itself from other carriers by the fact that you can position your baby however you’d like–facing in or out, wearing her on your frontside or back–without the need for any inserts, straps or adjustments. How is that possible? The carrier has built-in crossover support, so you can wear your baby in any position and she’ll be able to fit securely (that means no floppy heads, especially for little babes). If you have a toddler who will still happily ride in a carrier [&hellip
You can’t be too safe when it comes to traveling with your kids, especially in the car. If you are looking for the latest development in car seat safety, you’ve found it: Britax is enhancing its line of convertible booster seats with the Frontier 85, a combination booster seat that offers the greatest height and weight capacity currently available. Now, your child can weigh up to 85 lbs. and be 20 inches high (in a seated shoulder position) when secured with a 5-point harness. When using the belt-positioning booster, those numbers jump up to 120 lbs. and 65 inches. What does all that mean to you? Your child can remain in his safety seat longer–perhaps much to his chagrin, but as parent, you know that [&hellip
Those comfy portable seats you bring to the beach and the park are now perfectly sized for little one, from babies to big kids. The Go & Grow Chair is meant to go wherever you go with your family. And it’s works as soon as your baby can sit up; there’s a 3-point harness to keep her in place, loops for attaching toys and a tray and sun shade, both of which you can remove when not in use. As she grows, simply fold the seat cover into the front pocket so she can stand or stretch if she wants to (you know how fidgety she can get when she’s sitting too long…). And when your baby is no longer…well, a baby, Go & Grow [&hellip
How I wish the mamaRoo were around when my now-toddler was a babe. The jungle swing I thought that would soothe this savage beast failed to silence her roar (would anything?). This innovative infant seat is not only a looker, but it does what , up until now, only your loving embrace could do. The mamaRoo is designed not to rock or swing, but bounce and sway (sound familiar?). There are 5 different motions, each with its own telltale name: Car Ride, Kangaroo, Tree Swing, Rock-A-Bye and Ocean Wave. (The only one we would have added was Washing Machine.) You can speed up or slow down the mamaRoo as your baby demands. Need some soothing sounds? Try the built-in nature calls, or hook up your [&hellip
Just as we report on cool, new baby and kids’ products, it’s also our job to let you know about recalls, especially if they’re about an item we originally reviewed. Last June, we raved about the Cybex line of umbrella strollers. In accordance with the CPSC, the company’s U.S. distributor has issued a recall of its Cybex Ruby, Onyx and Topaz models. The strollers’ hinge mechanism may pose a threat to a child if he places his fingertip inside the hinge. If you’ve purchased one of these Cybex strollers, you can contact Regal Lager for a free hinge cover retrofit kit. In a Nutshell: Purchased a Cybex stroller?
