Our editors Elena and Dani ventured out to find the best of the best for our Daily Mom readers, and we have been dying to tell you all about it! Clothing, diaper bags, baby monitors, swaddles, and sleep aides – you name it, we tested it. Below you will find our favorite products for you to use in your home – sleep aides, food ware, bath time accessories, baby monitors, nursery furniture, and more!

Angelcare

All parents want their children to be safe, and we will do anything we can to keep them that way – even when they are sleeping. Angelcare baby monitors are made to give parent’s peace of mind when their baby is in their most vulnerable state. For years, they have been researching and developing the safest, most innovative products to ensure that parents can rest easy.

Although Angelcare is known for their video and sound monitors, their most recent development is their collection of movement monitors which they displayed at the 2016 ABC Expo. A sensor pad is placed under the child’s mattress and picks up even the slightest movement. If there is no movement for 20 seconds, the monitor will alert you. The monitor’s crisp screen gives you a perfect view of your baby, and you can even monitor the temperature of the room, ensuring that your baby is comfortable. If you need a product to help ensure that your baby is safe while they are sleeping, look no further than Angelcare.

b.box

b.box is a company that strives to bring parents quality products to help make life with kids a little more convenient. Their products focus mainly on feeding and diaper changing for ages 0-3. They are passionate about creating products that are functional for parents and for baby, and they take the time to research things like a child’s developing fine motor skills to create their products.

At the ABC Expo, b.box showcased a number of products for children of different stages of feeding. Their formula dispenser bottle is an innovative product in that it has a compartment at the bottom of the bottle to add powdered formula. When baby is ready to eat, you simply plunge and shake the bottle to mix the water and formula together. It is great for traveling or those late night feedings.
