Whether you’re a first time mom or mom to 5, baby gear is constantly changing and evolving. What you think you need as a first time mom is completely different than what you know you need for baby #3.
As a mom who had 2 babies under 1, I’ve certainly been in the thick of baby gear for the past 3 years. I mean, we’ve gone through 7 (yes 7!) strollers since we had our oldest. I know, I’m crazy. My husband also thinks so. But basically, I’ve done all the research for you. I now feel like we have the perfect combo of strollers for our family. And I feel pretty qualified to help guide you to the most necessary and useful items that I’ll continue to use for baby #2 all the way to baby #5 (if that’s what G-d has planned for us).
The awards go to…
1. and 2. Diono Radian 3RXT and the Radian RXT “Just my color” line win the Best Convertible Carseat Award. With their sleek looks and super-slim footprints, you can easily fit 3 kiddos across a backseat if you need to. They’re also suuuper easy to get kids in and out of. Did I mention the sleek look? Yeah, we love ours. Can be used from 5-120 lbs. You def. get your money’s worth here.
3. The Nuna Pipa Lite is my dream infant car seat. It’s basically the lightest there is, is compatible with a number of different strollers (winning!) and has a great sun shade.
4. UppaBaby Cruz gets my vote for best single stroller. Lightweight, good wheels, great basket and compatible with most car seats.
5. BabyZen Yoyo is the ultimate lightweight stroller. The Mountain Buggy Nano is a close second.
6. I searched and searched for the best double stroller out there. Like, I’ve owned 4 in the past 3 years. The Valco Snap Duo Trend is the best BY FAR. Lightweight, good basket, small fold, comfortable seats, looks great. Done deal.
7. Happiest Baby Snoo 8. Boon Flair Highchair 9. Fisher Price Rock n’ Play
10. Frida Baby Nose Frida – don’t think, just do it. Best product for sick kiddos.
11. Vicks Filter Free Cool Mist Humidifier
12. JuJuBee BRB Diaper Bag – again, I’ve tried ’em all. Best one.
13. 7am Enfant Car Seat Cocoon14. SwaddleMe Swaddles 15. Baby Merlin Magic Sleepsuit 16. Fisher Price Jumparoo 17. Bumbo Multi-Seat 18. myBaby Soundspa Portable Noise Machine 19. Boppy Pillow 20. Munchkin Diaper Pail 21. Wipeable Changing Pad Cover 22. Dr. Brown’s Formula Mixing Pitcher
