Best Baby Bather
Nuby Turtle Baby Bath Cushion
The Nuby Turtle is a sweet, easy way to keep your baby comfortably contained in the sink for bathing sessions. Your baby will love being cradled while they get clean, too. The cushion does take a few hours to dry out, but that’s more than a fair trade considering how soft and pliable the baby bath is.

Best Stroller Combo
Doona Infant Car Seat & Latch Base
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 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.
If you’re looking for even more options, there’s a bunch of baby gear on sale right now.

Best White Noise Machine
Hatch Rest+ Portable Dream Machine
The Hatch Rest+ is the best overall white noise machine for many reasons. First, it’s easy to control via an app on your phone. Second, it has great sounds with a realistic quality — the rain sounds like, well, rain, not some tinny recording. It’s portable (most white noise machines are not) and has an eight-hour battery life, so you can move it to wherever baby is resting. The Rest+ doubles as a nightlight, but you control the color and brightness. Finally, it has a ready-to-wake function that gradually increases the light to wake baby up gently.

Best Pump
Elvie Stride Wearable Breast Pump
Wearable breast pumps are the easiest way to pump milk. You’re not tied to a machine, and you don’t need to strip off your top. Just insert this Elvie pump into your bra, control it from your phone, and collect the milk.
It’s a hospital-grade pump, which means the suction is powerful. Thanks to the exterior motor, it’s light in your bra, not weighing it down or damaging it. The Stride is a great solution for working parents or parents with small kids they need to chase around.

Best Zippered Swaddle
Happiest Baby Sleepea 5-Second Swaddle
Famed pediatrician and sleep expert Dr. Harvey Karp designed the Sleepea to provide just the right amount of pressure to get babies to relax. It has an inner layer with Velcro to hold baby’s arms in place, and the exterior layer hugs a bit on top but has a loose bottom.
Far and away the easiest swaddle you’ll ever use, the Sleepea has a two-way zipper for easy changes. And the whole thing is machine-washable and safe in the dryer, getting softer and softer the more you launder it.

Best Baby Monitor
Nanit Pro Complete Monitoring System
One of the most advanced monitors on the market, the Nanit Pro does just about everything. The wearable band tracks breathing, the camera monitors movement, and the smart sheets track baby’s growth. All the controls run through your device, and the Pro is compatible with iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, or Echo Show.
The camera is super high definition (1080p HD) and captures color, even in low light. The two-way speaker allows you to talk to your baby, calming them without being in the room.

Best Plush
Gund Animated Flappy The Elephant Stuffed Animal
This plush is more than just a cute plaything for baby. The sweet elephant by Gund sings songs and plays peek-a-boo while his ears flap in rhythm. It’s comforting and silly at the same time. And because it’s from Gund, you know that it will last for years and years.

Best Booger Extractor
Frida Baby Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator
We understand how disgusting this looks, truly we do. But the Snotsucker will become your best friend when your child is so stuffed up that they scream their head off with frustration. Suck air in through the red mouthpiece while holding the tip of the blue tube up to your kid’s nostril. It truly does the job quickly, leaving you with an uncongested, happy baby, though you may find it less than fun. A filter at the base of the blue tube makes sure no boogies sneak through; just remember to change it and was the whole thing out frequently.

Best for Helping Them Pass Gas

Cons
This is a relief valve for your baby’s butthole. Is it weird? Absolutely. Does it work? Hilariously well. And it’s easily one of the strangest, best baby products out there.
It really just lets them get it all out. If you have a baby who struggles with passing gas, this might be your best bet. It whistles when your kids pass the air, and that’s the sound of comfort.

Bath time can be some of the most fun you’ll have with your little one—but it also can take a toll on your body. Since comfort is the key for both you and your baby, Lalo’s Bathtime Essentials kit comes with a rinse cup, a spout cover, and our editor-favorite knee and elbow pads (the key component in this kit!).

Best Bathtime Toy
Matchstick Monkey Bathtime Slide Set
This fun, interactive slide bath toy set encourages the early development of hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills so much so, that babies are drawn to the bath toy’s colorful design as they work on their grasping abilities. Suitable for babies 6 months and up, this set comes with 1 slide and 3 fun animal character rocks.
Unlike other bath toy brands, Matchstick Monkey’s toys contain BioCote, a safe, natural-infused protection that protects your bath toy from developing any unwanted buildup from continual moisture — meaning they’ll withstand bathtub fun for the longhaul.

Best Carrier
Ergobaby Omni Breeze
For years, baby carriers were hot, sweaty affairs, offering little in the way of breathability. Those days are long gone, thanks to Ergo. The Omni Breeze baby carrier is not only the most breathable carrier on the market, but it’s ready to go as soon as your baby is born, without additional inserts or contraptions.
It has a tuck-away UPF hood to protect baby’s sensitive skin. It’s machine-washable, and it even has an attachable bag for added convenience. Our tester noted that it’s incredibly comfortable to wear, which is saying a lot because she had a C-section just a month earlier.

Best Muslin Swaddle
Aden + Anais Swaddle Blankets
These are my personal favorite swaddle blankets. They’re durable and washable, capable of lasting through multiple children. And the cotton is super-soft and breathable. Plus, they are great to throw on the ground to make a clean space.

Best Breastfeeding Pillow
Boppy Boppy Nursing Support, Best Latch, Gray Pennydot Leaf Stripe, Lactation Consultant Created, Firm Contoured and Plush Sides for Breastfeeding Options, Waist Belt, Plus Sized to Petite, Machine Washable
Breastfeeding can really wreck your posture. This pillow straps around your waist to help you prop baby at a comfortable, not posture-wrecking angle. What’s more, you can purchase multiple replacement covers so that if one is soiled, you have a backup. And honestly, it’s going to get soiled.

Best Pacifier for Breastfed Babies
Nanobebe Pacifiers
The Nanobebe Pacifiers for your newborn babe are designed to keep them soothed and interested in nursing when suckling on their pacifier. Contoured to fit in their mouths in a way that mimics the shape a human nipple takes when baby is nursing, it encourages the suckling motion that your baby would use when nursing. It makes an easy transition between feeding times and relaxing.

Best Baby Book for Parents
Akashic Books Go the F**k to Sleep by Adam Mansbach
Don’t feel so bad reading this one to baby. It starts like this: “The cats nestle close to their kittens. The lambs have laid down with the sheep. You’re cozy and warm in bed, my dear. Please go the F to sleep!”
Is it cheeky? Absolutely. But having kids is a hard gig, and a little levity goes a long way when you’re exhausted.

Best Convertible Car Seat
Graco Extend2Fit Convertible Car Seat
When you think “convertible car seat,” you’re probably thinking about that second car seat you buy when your child is ready to go to into a front-facing seat, right? It’s that between-stage seat.
Not this one. The extremely popular Graco Extend2Fit car seat is truly an all-in-one option. It’s rear-facing from when a child is 4 to 50 pounds, after which you can flip it to front-facing until they’re 65 pounds. It’s easy to install directly to the seat via the latching straps, and the added tilt on the seat gives kids an extra 5 inches of necessary leg room.

We can’t get over how adorable this training toothbrush and teether is. A true two-in-one, the banana teether will familiarize your baby with the concept of brushing their teeth, and it’ll serve as a soothing teether in the process.
It’s dishwasher-safe, and the gentle nubs on the brush are easy to get clean by hand, as well.

Best Bottle Brushes
Boon Cacti Bottle Cleaning Brush Set
A major part of parenting is washing a seemingly endless rotation of bottles, jars, and containers. Make sure your tot’s products are squeaky clean with this four-piece brush set. The cute cactus design is far from the typical brush eyesore, and the draining container keeps them within arm’s reach.
