And an all-terrain stroller for when they're all grown up! This thing is so lightweight and compact that it'll fit in the overhead bin on a plane. When your kid has been on a flight for hours, waiting for a stroller to be retrieved from storage after you deplane may feel like a millennium. Plus, this stroller can conquer all the cobblestone streets or rocky gravel paths your next outing may take you on.
A Frida Baby fold-and-go potty seat so you can stop having nightmares about your toddler falling into a public toilet. If your potty training days have begun, this collapsible seat can make you and your kiddo more confident when using bathrooms outside of the home. Plus, it comes with a travel case and is small enough to fit in the (neeeearly unnecessary) diaper bag! Nice!
An ergoPouch sleep sack that'll convert from a swaddle sleep sack — with their arms tucked in — and adjust to a toddler-friendly sleep sack once your baby is old enough to roll over.

The height is adjustable, so it'll easily grow with your kiddo and be useful no matter what activity they are *helping* you with.

A BabyBjorn Travel Crib small enough when collapsed that it'll fit in a carry-on bag!

A pacifier-style baby medicine dispenser sure to work as well as sugar to help the medicine go down. Not only is this far more comfortable for your baby, but the elongated nipple helps prevent them from tasting the medicine.

A car baby monitor (with a spiffy 14,000+ 5-star reviews!) that'll help you instantly know what's going on with your baby in the backseat without adjusting mirrors or turning back to see what's going on (when the car is stopped, of course).

This is a truly game-changing way to explore the world with your kids. Plus, it has cup holders.

Each meal is crafted to help your kiddo develop a taste for nutritionally rich meals from the get-go. Plus, each type of food is split up into its own space in super cute(!!) triangular trays, i.e., *not touching*, because Little Spoon knows toddlers... and they know how to avoid a mealtime tantrum before it starts.
