Favorites from the New York Baby Show
By: Martha Katechis
Baby planning can be fun, stressful and never ending… so why not jump in head on! The New York Baby show offers that like no other and I love it! All things baby and family in one weekend, I encourage you to not only browse each booth, stroll the stroller track– but also sit and relax while listening to experts in their field talk about everything that you’ve been Googling lately.
My favorite items this year comprise of functionality, style and ease- which is not easily found when it comes to baby items.
Ray Baby Monitor
Highlights: No Contact | No Batteries | No Fuss |A new age breathing baby monitor
This is a monitor like no other. When you’re stressing if your newborn is breathing through the night, this wireless monitor tracks the baby’s breathing. It easily distinguishes between other life in the room, not to be confused with a nearby pet or co-sleeping parents. Controlled from your smart phone, it keeps track of your little one right on your smart device. www.raybaby.us
Uppababy Vista Stroller
Highlights: Perfect city Stroller | Expands for your future needs | Stylish and practical
Easily the stroller of the city for a growing family! Uppababy Vista expands to allow for a second seat if and when the time is right- and even a ride along board for the growing toddler. The large basket makes going to the store simple. One of my favorite features is the included bassinet regulated for sleeping, that can be transferred to an at home stand after a long park stroll to continue nap time. This stroller is truly an all in one. www.uppababy.com
The Doona
Highlights: Most convinent infant car seat | Car seat & stroller in one | 1-2-3 Ready to roll Infant car seat
An infant car seat that transforms to stroller in a snap. This car seat makes popping in and out of the car a snap! For a Bronxmama like me, taking a taxi and being car seat ready without having to make a driver make room for my stroller in the trunk is a plus! The Doona car seat unfolds to a comfortable height to easily stroll. www.shopdoona.com
