As a new or expecting parent, you might feel overwhelmed by the multitude of baby products flooding the market — and you're not alone. Spending my workdays in the pursuit of the best pregnancy and parenting buys, I encounter a seemingly endless range of offerings. There’s always a best new breast pump that's said to have increased efficiency or a diaper bag that's both convenient and stylish. To help you navigate through the sea of stuff and discover which parenting items are worth consideration, I've curated a selection of my favorite new baby products debuting this spring.
It takes a lot to catch my eye, but the goods below have landed a spot on my products-to-watch (and test) list. On the recently-released lineup, you'll find several brands that What to Expect editors and parents alike know and trust, such as Willow, Momcozy, and KiwiCo. Join me in checking out these exciting new additions, all of which have just hit stores and online retailers this spring.
A rotating car seat that’s stroller compatible
Rotating car seats are a true time-saver to get your child safely situated for a ride. The one downside: You can’t take the seat out of the car, which can pose a challenge for parents of infants. Enter the Maxi Cosi Peri Rotating Infant Car Seat. Like the brand’s Mico Luxe+ Infant Car Seat, the Peri has an easy-to-use latch installment and plush cushioning to keep your child comfortable in the car; it just has the added perk of rotation. The seat also has a six-position harness and headrest, both of which can be adjusted with one hand as your baby grows. And, unlike other rotating car seats, you can remove the Peri from its base and click it into a compatible stroller.
Now available at Amazon ($450) and Maxi Cosi ($450).
Tools to make breastfeeding a little easier
The makers of the beloved Willow 360 and Willow Go breast pumps are providing even more pumping and feeding support for new moms. The new Willow Find Your Flow Feeding Kit is filled with products to make breastfeeding more comfortable, efficient and easy. Inside you’ll find soothing silver nursing cups, reusable breast pads, cooling breast packs and more. It even includes a clear nipple sizing guide to help you find the right flange and insert size on your pump. The kit is a great gift for a new mom or a smart item to buy ahead of baby’s due date so you’ll be prepared.
Now available at Amazon ($70), Target ($70) and Willow (on sale for $56).
New toys in KiwiCo boxes
KiwiCo, a popular toy subscription service, has revamped their baby toy Panda crates to ensure even more fun and educational learning for your little one. Balancing Crayons in the Let’s Look crate will help 18- to 19-month olds color and build, while the Let’s Move crate’s Water Cycle Bath Toy keeps them entertained in the tub. You’ll also find new offerings in the newborn stage crate, such as a cute tummy time rainbow pillow and an adorable star lovey. And, as always, KiwiCo offers different levels of boxes depending on your budget, starting at $50 for the “essential” crates and up to $90 for the “deluxe.”
Now available at KiwiCo (starting at $50).
A low-cost, luxe stroller
Thule’s three-wheel Urban Glide stroller is one of their top sellers because of its easy-to-maneuver design, large tires with great suspension, and relatively lightweight design. Now, you can get the Urban Glide in a four-wheel design that is even more functional, perfect for any surface. Both front wheels can either swivel or lock into place depending on the terrain. It’s designed to be city-friendly in particular, as it’ll be great on uneven surfaces and can easily take tight corners, but it can be used just about anywhere.
Now available at Amazon ($700) and Thule ($700).
A chic, portable baby bouncer
You might already be familiar with Boon’s award-winning bottle drying rack. But did you know that the brand has a portable baby bouncer that’s as chic and comfy as competitors for a fraction of the cost? The slanted seat gently cradles baby while allowing them to bounce and get some energy out. It’s also adjustable, with a lower angle that gives baby necessary head support and a higher angle that provides a better view of the room around them. The best part: The fabric comes off so you can throw it in the washing machine after any accidents. And while many slanted bouncers can cost up to $200, this one comes in at $80.
Now available at Amazon ($80), Target ($80) and Boon ($80).
A more efficient snot sucker
A nasal aspirator isn’t the most exciting product, but it is a necessary one, especially during cold and flu season. What makes the new Momcozy nasal aspirator stand out from the multitude of booger bulbs is its two-in-one functionality: It not only sucks out the gunk but also sprays a saline solution that loosens boogers and mucus for more efficient removal. No more switching between spray and sucker to get the job done. And because it’s an electric nasal aspirator, you’re guaranteed hospital-grade suction which can minimize the amount of times you have to stick it in baby’s nose. Although it's a bit pricey at $70, you can get it now for 20% off with code NA20.
Now available at Momcozy ($56 with code NA20, normally $70).
