The Nuna Rava is high on most convertible car seats lists. It’s one of the safest car seats on the market, with an all-steel frame, and it features flame-retardant-free fabric. It’s a great investment that you’ll get plenty of use out of since your kids will be riding in those car seats practically until college LOL!

Another must-have is the bassinet accessory for your stroller system! Babies can’t ride in the rumble seat until six months old (at the earliest) so the bassinet is essential!

I’m obsessed with this glider! You might have seen it on the Facebook Live I did back in January where I gave a tour of Mateo’s nursery. It has a USB port on the inside of the armrest so you can charge your phone while you’re nursing. ESSENTIAL!

I know there have been some newer diaper pail options on the market, but this one has worked since I had Marlowe, so I figured why fix what isn’t broken? It gets the job done!

Call me a sucker for aesthetics, but I love the look of this high chair. It vibes with my kitchen and dining room well enough that it’s not an eyesore, and the price-point is SO much better than some other high chairs on the market. Plus, it turns into an adorable little chair after your baby transitions to a booster chair! It also comes with a 5-point harness, cushion, tray, and footrest.

I love this BABYBJÖRN bouncer, and I love giving it as a baby gift to my expectant mama friends. Not only is it super functional, and both my kids LOVED it – but it folds up flat. I used to pack this in my suitcase and bring it with us when we would travel with the kids as infants! I also like that this bouncer is attractive to look at and can blend into any room, and this new update is made from the softest jersey fabric.

Ok, so this is my favorite carrier for a newborn. I have other ones I like for once they get a bit bigger, but I found this carrier to be the simplest one to figure out.  And thus the best for new parents! It also has a really sleek profile so it’s easy to fit over clothes and under a jacket.

Full disclosure: I discovered this breast pump through an upcoming partnership, and then I literally fell in love with it. It’s a double breast pump, so I can pump both breasts at the same time, and I get so much milk in what feels like half the time.

I know I’ve mentioned this in other posts, but I mean it when I say that this is BY FAR the best nursing pillow. Unlike its competitors, it has a waist clasp so that it stays securely around your waist, and I love that I can keep burp cloths in the pouches for when Mateo inevitably needs some cleanup.

You’ve probably heard of Lovevery and wondered if their popular play kits are worth the cost. Well, ladies and gents, I’m here to say an unequivocal YES! My Director of Operations, Eden, turned me onto them after she polled her mama friends about what to buy her son for his 1st birthday. Each play kit comes with age-appropriate developmental toys and books, and includes a helpful (teething-proof) spiral ring guide that explains how to help teach your child to play with each item, along with what development that item is helping your child to learn. It even includes some helpful games you can play with your child using common household items if you want even more ideas. You can purchase individual play kits or a play kit subscription that will arrive every 3 months as your child grows.

Remember those clutch accessories I was talking about? The kneeler and elbow pad are lifesavers and the waterfall rinser is great for rinsing out shampoo because it’s shaped perfectly for little foreheads. And last but not least, the whale spout cover will keep your babies entertained.

White noise machines are essential for sleep training. I love the Hatch because it comes with an app for your phone that you can use to adjust all the settings from any room. It doubles as a dimmable night light with infinite color options, 12 different sounds, and even a scheduling program so you can set bedtime, naptime, and even wake times with the touch of a button.
