There are few baby products as convenient as the Doona stroller and car seat. It’s essentially an all-in-one car seat with legs and wheels that attaches to a latch base in the car or fastens with a belt. And it consistently ranks among the best in our stroller testing.
The Doona is suitable for babies between 5 and 35 pounds and up to 32 inches tall. It features a five-point harness, an adjustable handlebar that acts as an anti-rebound bar, three-layer side impact protection, and a generous canopy.
There’s no shortage of bassinets out there, but few offer what this one does. It gently rocks and sways your baby, plays soothing sounds, and even vibrates to keep them calm. With adjustable height and Bluetooth connectivity, you can control all these features right from your phone. It’s a bestseller for a reason.
There’s something quite wonderful about only needing to buy something once. That is rarely the case with children, but with this car seat — it could be. It can be used from birth to age 10, converting from a rear-facing infant seat to a convertible car seat that rear and forward-facing, to a highback booster.
Our tester says, “If you’re looking for value and longevity, it’s hard to beat the One4Life convertible car seat. The ease with which it transitions between ages and sizes, going from rear-facing to forward-facing with just a few clicks, is truly impressive. Having additional conveniences like machine washable and dryable fabrics and dishwasher-safe cupholders is a dream. However, the true best feature is the safety components built into the car seat. The steel cage, the high-density foam, the V-shaped tether, and the ClickTight install all work together to keep your baby, toddler, and child safe.”
The Nanit Pro is one of the most advanced baby monitors available, offering a comprehensive suite of features. It tracks your baby’s breathing with a wearable band, monitors their movements with a high-definition (1080p HD) camera, and even tracks growth with smart sheets. You can control everything through your device, whether you use iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, or Echo Show.
The camera provides crystal-clear video, capturing color even in low light, and the two-way speaker lets you soothe your baby from another room, offering both peace of mind and convenience.
The Baby Brezza makes baby food prep a breeze, handling everything from steaming fruits and veggies to blending them into smooth purees. This all-in-one food maker significantly reduces prep time, allowing you to spend more time bonding with your baby. With just the touch of a button, you can steam and blend diced fruits or vegetables into fresh baby food in no time.
The user-friendly controls let you customize cooking times and textures, giving you flexibility over the final result. With just a few simple buttons, it’s incredibly convenient and easy to use.
This small, convenient device heats up your child’s bottle quickly and efficiently to avoid scorching hot spots. There’s even a defrost setting to gently thaw frozen breast milk. It’s the most popular warmer on Amazon, and we have to agree with the users who love it. It’s fast, simple, and doesn’t take up a ton of space.
