• ABC Kids Expo 2008: Ritmo Prenatal Audio Belt

  This one is way outside the "normal" baby products at ABC, but that's what makes it fun.

• Ten Best iPhone Apps For Distracting Young Children

  We've all been there. You're in the grocery store, or doctor's office, or a restaurant and you need a five minute distraction for your toddler. And if you're a dad or mom on-the-go who doesn't keep a spare stuffed animal in their pocket, you're usually relegated to whatever you have handy. If one of those things is an iPhone or an iPod Touch, then you may not realize it or not, but you've got a wealth of toddler distractions just waiting to be explored. I've combed through the iTunes Application store and tested out what I think are the ten best applications you can use to distract your young child... Full list is after the jump. Read More...

• Nap26 is Mommy and Daddy's (Non-Addictive) Little Helper

  No matter how well you think all those years of 24-hour partying conditioned you for the sleep deprivation that goes along with being a new parent, the truth is that nothing can prepare you for the onslaught of a newborn's demands. Some of us learn to adapt, taking siestas whenever the kids go down, but for the rest of us, the lack of sleep can quickly turn into crushing fatigue. Nap26, a new audio system geared toward new parents and other sleep-deprived adults, aims to provide a solution in just 26 minutes. Read More...

• 7 Days of Eco-Friendly Décor: Suck in Some Fresh Air

  With a new baby also comes lots of new stuff, or at least a fresh coat of paint. But unless you’re diligent about buying 100% organic/non-toxic/voc-free everything, which in theory would be great but in practice is sometimes difficult to achieve, one of the best ways to clear the air of off-gassing and other pollutants is with an air purifier. If you can’t bring yourself to buy a generic looking Ionic Breeze or some other infomercial rendition, check out this nod to the IPod that will surely blend in a bit better with your décor.

• Gorillapod Go-Go

  Imagine you're on an airplane, or a car trip, or any public place where you want the kids quiet, occupied and sitting down. Bringing the portable DVD player might not be feasible, but with all the iPhone's, iPods, cell phones and other small portable video devices out there, having something handy they can watch isn't out of the question. The real question is, how do you get more than one kid to watch it without them fighting over it. I present to you, the Gorillapod Go-Go. Read More...

• Mixing Legos and iPods, An Tweens Dream Come True

  Mini docking station is shaped like a classic lego brick.  Snap your iPod onto it and let the tiny speakers play the music. My sons who are obsessed with all things Lego would love this little gadget.  Completely self contained, like little Lego brick.  No plugs, no batteries. If you’d like to pick one of these up for your after holiday shopping you’ll have to import it from Korea’s 10×10 for 14,500 KRW (about $16 USD) and have some mastery over Korean. Or you can get on the waiting list at Delight.com.   Posted Dec 28 2007, 04:01 PM by chrisjordan with | with no comments Filed under: lego, ipod, docking, speaker

• Droolworthy: ifrogz Tadpole for Kid-Friendly iPod Use

  I don't know how I missed these when Stefania first wrote about them, so let's just agree that I'm late to the party and move on. Move on to drooling on these ifrogz Tadpole iPod protectors, that is -- because even a kid nicknamed Destructo wouldn't be able to damage your iPod if it was wrapped in one of these babies. Plus, dig those handles. Fewer fingerprints on the screen for sure. The only problem I foresee is settling on which color to choose. Get yours at ifrogz: The wraps are $19.99 and coordinating kiddie headphones can be added in for just $5 more.
