Babble

Last week I wrote about this diaper caddy from Skip Hop , and although I'm not a big fan of bringing your diaper changing gear from room to room, I thought it was a pretty good product. But in the comments Babble reader "Rocket" had this out-of-the-box solution: put a saddle bag on your...

Maybe baby isn’t old enough yet to appreciate satin sheets, but who can resist a snuggly 100% cashmere blanket? Kinder Cashmere makes super-cute, super-deluxe cashmere blankets and carriage throws in gorgeous pastel shades with designs featuring seahorses, bunnies, whales, and sailboats. Probably not...

There's a post on HuffPo about some fairly ridiculous gadgets for parents . You can get a fancy-pants baby timer for tracking your baby's sleep and nap and diaper schedule, presumably to help avoid the age-old question, "Crap, when did the baby last eat?" Of course, when I had a newborn...

Finding a good (non-cheesy) baby journal is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack, which is why I was so excited to stumble upon the Hello Baby! Baby Book Keepsake Journal ($16.95) at Pokkadots. Designed by the folks at Hello Lucky! letterpress, the journal features the San Francisco company's...

The idea of a Moses basket struck me as a little odd when I first heart about it. "Really, put my baby in a basket? ... Is it waterproof?" But the more I thought about it, the more it grew on me. A small, portable baby bed that would be just as content next to my bed as it would sitting next...

When last we were going gaga for Silver Cross' Dazzle, the lightweight, celebrity-attracting stroller was only available in black, and pounds sterling seemed to be our only payment option for it. Since then, of course, we've been able to find the Dazzle in everything from standard Cosmic Black...

Odds are good that you've never seen a car seat like the Nestt, and until the design geniuses at Think/Thing get their prototype into production, you won't. But this novel-looking seat is far more than a pie-in-the-sky concept, and perhaps more importantly, it's the handiwork of designers...

Sick of Valentine's Day yet? Good! Suck on these ($48!) heart-shaped-boxed pacifiers from Juicy Couture, which reassure your infant that she, too, can look like a Gwen Stefani promotional tchotchke. Or, better yet, start forcing this stuff on your kids now: When they finally turn on you, they'll...

I once watched my kid sister lob her pacifier out the window of our family car as we tore down the freeway toward Grandma's place. (Child safety was more lax back then.) If we'd only had a binkie clip, the rest of the trip might've been a few hundred decibels quieter, but considering how...

As babies, all three of my children delighted in their activity gym -- of course, considering they all shared the same ancient Sesame Street gym we scored for $3 from a yard sale in the pre-lead-awareness era, all three of them have probably suffered irreparable damage we'll only learn about later...
