Product Information

How many? At first, you’ll probably need only three sets of towels and washcloths (you get one of each per set). But as baby gets older and dirtier, invest in a few more washcloths to spot clean during the day.

Mid-century vibe. This solidly made crib is a great splurge if you are looking for a crib as a statement piece. Bonus: you can get this crib in a two-tone option, where the spindles are a contrasting color to the crib’s base.Also: if your teething baby decides to munch on the crib rail, the finish will most likely come off. It isn’t a health hazard (the paint is non-toxic), but this has alarmed more than a few parents. (If teething is an issue, you can use a cloth rail cover). Cup holders add to seat width—which makes it harder to fit into tight spots (some narrow airline seats, compact rental cars, etc). Will you choose the brave and fearless Princess Anna? Or are you more like Princess Elsa, imbued with breathtaking magical powers? Both dolls are posable and come with outfits straight out of Disney's Frozen 2 film.

T-Shirts. Oh sure, a t-shirt is a t-shirt, right? Not when it comes to baby t-shirts. These t-shirts could have side snaps, snaps at the crotch (also known as infant bodysuits, Onesies, creepers) or over-the-head openings. If you have a child who is allergic to metal snaps (they leave a red ring on the skin), you might want to consider over-the-head t-shirts. (FYI: While some folks refer to Onesies as a generic item, the term Onesie is a registered trademark brand by Gerber.) Minor quibble: there is a level indicator, but only on one side. And the fabric isn’t as soft to the touch as you’d expect say some critics. The 4Ever Extend2Fit is also quite heavy—if you are looking for a lighter weight car seat for carpooling, there are better choices out there. Sounds/lights turn off after 30 minutes. This is a battery saving feature, of course. But it also means kiddos can wake up when this stops! Another frustration was the harness, which a few dissenters said was difficult to adjust. And removing the seat from the car can be a bit of a pain, especially trying to release the ratchet. Mesh doesn’t extend down to mattress. While this bassinet has mesh sides, the mesh doesn’t extend down to the mattress. That means baby could roll up against the side and not have airflow. Care should be taken to make sure baby is placed in the center of the bassinet. Transition the baby out of the bassinet before they can roll over (usually around four months).Get your little one’s first wardrobe sorted for less with our baby clothing and accessories sale. Whether you’re looking for everyday essentials, cute co-ords or cosy nightwear, we’ve got everything you need, all at prices that you and your wallet will love. Bibs. These come in two versions, believe it or not. The little, tiny bibs are for the baby that occasionally drools. The larger versions are used when you begin feeding her solid foods (at about six months). Don’t expect to be able to use the drool bibs later for feedings, unless you plan to change her carrot- stained outfit frequently. Easy to trip over legs. For stability reasons, this bassinet has long legs on its base—and those are easy to trip over in the middle of the night. Twist test. Does the lid twist easily to the next compared to competitors? You don’t want to develop carpal tunnel syndrome from your formula dispenser. New recommendations for baby feeding, from baby food processors to storage ideas for home-made baby food.

Formula dispensers are basically Tupperware style plastic containers with three or four separate compartments. Parents told us all the things that frustrated them about using formula dispensers and we developed five categories for our testing. When you do buy bibs, stay away from the ones that tie. Bibs that snap or have Velcro are much easier to get on and off. Another good bet: bibs that go on over the head (and have no snaps or Velcro). Why? Older babies can’t pull them off by themselves. No bulky seats, no complex belt-paths—the vest positions the vehicle shoulder and lap belts to correctly fit a child 30 to 110 pounds (our recommendation is ages five and up, which we will explain shortly). Some colors don’t have matching toddler rails. If you get one of the unusual colors, like Lagoon blue, you won’t be able to find a matching toddler rail. Only white and grey have matching rails. Creating cute outfits for your little one is easier than ever thanks to our baby clothing sale. You’ll find sweet sets you can dress them in any time of year, whether it’s a T-shirt and shorts for the summer or leggings and a cardi for those cooler months. We’ve got a gorgeous selection of baby girls’ dresses and baby boys’ jumpers, as well as some gorgeous unisex options, too. Baby bargains head to toeLight weight. At 13 pounds, The BabyBjorn Travel Crib Light is half the weight of other travel cribs we tested. Cute extras. In addition to a sturdy bassinet, this model features a cute mobile and light/vibration module.

Good but not Great clothes were pretty good, just not as soft or as stylish as Best Bets. The Skip-It brands were most likely the poorest quality: they shrunk in the wash, pilled up or fell apart. Inconsistent sizing was also a problem. Best pour. This the only dispenser we tested that didn’t require banging on the bottom like a ketchup bottle–a potential recipe for disaster if you bang too hard. Pretty much all the formula came out in one stream; better than any of the others we tested. When it comes to travel car seats and infants and toddlers, we’d go for a lightweight seat that is easy to use and affordable. The key issue is weight: if you are lugging this seat through an airport or wrestling it into a rental car, you don’t want a 30 lb. behemoth (yes, some car seats weight that much!). Here’s more on why the Costco Onlook is a best bet for travel car seats for infants and toddlers: What We Liked Let’s talk crash tests: the Graco 4Ever (the previous version, before Graco added the Extend2Fit) scored “Best” on Consumer Reports latest third-party crash tests—that’s impressive. The travel vest comes in three sizes: small and large and extra large. Each has slightly different weight limits.
