Baby Lust: Top 5 Must Have Baby Gear List
Okay, I've decided to start a weekly "column" (yes, a column on my own blog) called Baby Lust. In this column, I will make a list of that week's must-have items for babies and toddlers. Since I consider myself a seasoned shopper, this list will consist of things I've spotted and adore, and plan to buy, have bought, or hope to buy in the future. To kick off this column, here's my Top 5 List of the items I've found most ingenious and indispensable. I am sure I will be adding to this, as I discover/remember more of the items that make every day life with babies a little easier:
1. Skip Hop Play Spot: I love this company, because they make the most mundane things look and work better. I love Splash, the coolest looking bottle drying rack ever, and the Toolbox, a diaper caddy (which I don't use for diapers, since I find it too small - I use it for all the miscellaneous lotions, hair accessories, nail clippers, etc. that accumulate downstairs). But my favorite Skip Hop product is the Play Spot is a set of interlocking EVA foam tiles that provide a safe, padded, and best of all, cool-looking surface for babies and toddlers to play on. It's easy to clean and the forgiving surface has saved Lola from dozens of nasty spills. We have it in pink and brown. $79 to cover 70" x 56" (we have four sets to cover our entire play area) LINK
2. Svan High Chair: Everything a high chair should be! It's infinitely adjustable, super easy to clean, light enough to move around, and takes up very little space in your kitchen. And it looks great. About $250 LINK
3. Primo EuroBath: This contoured bathtub is molded to fit a baby safely and comfortably. With Eva, who is 4 months old, I use a padded insert from Leach (available at onestepahead.com) but in a month or two, she will graduate to just the tub and it will last until she's at least 1 year old. About $30 LINK
4. Oeuf Baby Lounger: When I first registered for this bouncer, my sister teased me because it lacks the bells and whistles that the other bouncers have. So I bought both a regular ugly Fisher Price bouncer with toys and music, and this one as well, because it's the best looking bouncer on the market. It's completely un-cheesy. I've found it to be really useful for my babies to catch a little quiet time, and it's a lot easier than a regular bouncer to lug around from room to room. When Lola was an infant, she cried every time we took her out of the bath, so we spread a towel on this bouncer and placed her in it and immediately started bouncing it up and down to keep her from crying. (Any bouncer with a towel draped over it makes a great safe place to put a slippery baby after a bath, especially when bathing her alone). $98 LINK
5. Vice Versa Pacifier: Again, a company that makes the most ordinary things look extraordinary. This Italian company makes hip, whimsical baby feeding accessories, and the coolest pacifier out there. Featuring a big, squishy bubble instead of a ring and a very convenient, hygienic case, this has been Lola's favorite from the start. $10.50 LINK
