You can have your choice of cool baby stuff to make you the hippest parent on the block. “There are new products hitting the market all the time, because new moms and dads discover each and every day a new need for something to make parenting simpler and less stressful,” says Desiree Miller, organizer of Atlanta Baby and Child Expo.
“If you’re going to try something new, just be sure it meets safety standards and is approved by a reputable agency, like the JPMA, Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, and sign up for a recall service that alerts you if a product you own is recalled at any time.”
When picking out your cool baby stuff, make sure you look for multistage options. “Baby gear that will grow with your child is hot this year,” says Shannon Moyer-Szemeneyi, a certified birth and postpartum doula. “While the price tag may shock you at first, you need to remember that you will be using these items for years to come and possibly with another baby.” Some baby gear will even take you well through the toddler years and into elementary school.
