The BabyScoop Hot Product Picks - Summer 2009

These are the ten products we think are hot this summer: good looking, functional and meant to last. But, as always, what people really want to know to know is what other parents think. Share with parents everywhere today.

Teutonia Fun Stroller

A stroller that lets parents do something quite unique - design a stroller that reflects their own personal style. The Fun model is surprisingly light and easy to maneuver with locking spring-mounted swivel wheels. It has a reversible seat so you can face baby front or rear facing (good for newborns). But what really caught our eye was its versatility; it folds easily, has a generous storage basket, and comes in an array of gorgeous colours. Price: $500-800

Combi Coccoro Car Seat

A great lightweight, ultra compact car seat that fits nicely into even the smallest, most fuel efficient vehicles (3 across a Toyota Corolla!). The innovative design includes a 5-point harness with padding, forward and rear facing lock offs. There is also an adjustable infant insert for newborns. Energy absorbing EPS foam for improved side impact protection. All this and it’s still easy to carry and install. Price: $179

Wishbone Bike

This is the ultimate 3-bikes- in-1 that evolves with your child’s stage of development. Designed in New Zealand, this environmentally friendly bike starts as a trike, converts to a running bike, and the frame is then flipped to make it tall enough for a child up to 5 years old. All this and it looks good too. Price: $250

Letterpress Alphabet Poster Chocolate Apple 11 x 14

Clean, modern and completely unfussy, this poster could just as easily live in your kitchen or office as the nursery. Printed one at a time on a vintage Vandercook letterpress, these lovely thick 100% renewable cotton paper posters have an unbelievably luxurious texture you can see. Who said alphabet posters were just for kids? Price: $30

The MamaRoo 2-in-1 Bouncy Swing

Think of this product as your twenty-four hour bouncing fairy godmother. It has five different motions, and we all know babies love motion (far more than our backs do). You’ll find five natural built in sounds such as” heartbeat”, or you can connect your very own MP3 player. Comes with a toy bar, fully reclines, and seat fabric is washable. Good for little ones up to 25lbs. Price: $200

A dizzying array of designs and colours, one for every day. Price: $35

Tactical Bail Out Gear - Diaper Bag for Dad

This is a rugged all-terrain bag that lets dad still feel like a man (even if is he carrying a diaper bag). Originally designed for the LAPD and U.S. military, it is meant to be beaten up and barfed on. Oodles of pockets, zippers and Velcro pads, there is a place for everything. Comes in black, desert tan or our favourite (as shown) olive drab. And who can beat the price? Price: $20

Lindsay Loo's Bibbies for Babies Bib

This strapless bib has won many awards for innovation, and I can see why. What parent hasn’t struggled to keep a bib around their little rascal’s neck? Mine flat out refused to wear one, and in the end, defeated and exhausted, I gave up. No straps and no struggles, just flip the flap onto baby’s neckline using an earth magnet. They are made of 100% cotton and ultra suede, and come in many designs and colours. Better still, they are absorbent and washable. Price: $16.95

California Baby Sunscreen SPF 30+ Everyday

We’ve had a hard time finding a natural sunscreen that wasn’t greasy or smelled terrible. We found California Baby on the Environmental Working Group’s cosmetic safety database website--it lands at the top for safety. There are so many things to love about this product: UVA/UVB broad spectrum, organic green tea, no fragrance, PABA free, non-chemical, non-whitening titanium, great for sensitive skin…and no nuts or oils to speak of. Price: $19.99

The Leander Bed

A totally different kind of bed; This Danish designed bed grows with your child, as they progress from baby to toddler and then older child. Made from high quality Scandinavian birch and designed low to the floor (the way kids like things), the Leander is as functional as it is beautiful. And the mattress is interesting too: it consists of ventilated cold foam with a cover of ecotex-treated quilted cotton. And considering one purchase gives you four pieces of furniture, it’s a pretty good deal. Price: $1795.95
