Features-wise, there’s also a lot to love. The telescoping handlebar means it works for parents and caregivers of different heights (I’m 5’10” and find it comfortable to push). The huge storage basket is also a plus. When I lived in the city, I easily fit a few days’ worth of groceries in the basket after a walk to the store; now, in the suburbs, I pack it full of park toys, my diaper bag and whatever else I need for the day.
Swaddling can help infants sleep better and avoid the disruption of the startle reflex. If swaddling feels daunting or your little one is a Houdini, then consider one of the best baby swaddles.

Your baby is likely to catch a cold or something else as they venture out into the world and away from the bubble of their home. A thermometer is a staple in every home should have so you can monitor your baby's symptoms and relay useful information to your pediatrician.
A stroller wagon is a hybrid of a stroller + a wagon, featuring the maneuverability of a stroller alongside the fun and functionality of a wagon. Most have large wheels, a robust suspension system and both push and pull functionality, and many break down in some way to make them more compact for portability. Stroller wagons have many pros (great for an outdoors-loving family, for seating multiple kids and for older kids who may be beyond a traditional stroller but not yet ready to walk independently for long periods of time), but some cons, too (most are big and bulky, expensive and don’t always work for infants, and many don’t maneuver nearly as well as a stroller).
The best disposable diapers include green and traditional options. From biodegradable choices to super Rent strollers absorbers, there is likely a diaper that can meet your needs, even if you only need disposable options for travel or daycare.
“A child should be able to freely move their arms and legs with good trunk control (pelo slouching). They should be able to hold their head up against gravity with their neck in a neutral position,” she says.
Strollers can cost anywhere from a hundred dollars to well over a thousand. Pricier strollers often have features like all-wheel suspension, better maneuverability, high-end fabrics, modular seats or the ability to convert to a double.
