Baby in Snoo bassinet Happiest Baby The Snoo was invented by celebrity pediatrician Harvey Karp and has been on the market for almost a decade now. Celebrity parents like Zoe Saldaña and Justin Timberlake love it, and many more swear that the smart bassinet has helped their kids sleep better. The appeal of the Snoo is not just its minimalistic design but also the promise that the smart bassinet will soothe babies back to sleep, allowing parents to sleep more during those crucial first months. The bassinet sways while playing white noise, and if the baby fusses, the movement and volume go up to help the baby fall back asleep. The bassinet retails for $1,695 , and can be rented for a monthly fee of $159. Advertisement Doona It can be overwhelming to find a car seat and a stroller because there are so many options. The Doona car seat fills the gap with a car seat that has wheels and easily converts into a stroller. The Doona is another celebrity favorite, with Suki Waterhouse, Kourtney Kardashian, Paris Hilton, and many more choosing it to transport their kids. Perfect for city-dwelling parents because it's easy to install in any car, the Doona retails for $550 and can hold kids up to 35 pounds or 32 inches (whichever they hit first). Advertisement Two brands dominate the luxury stroller market The Vista and Donkey are two of parents' most sought-out strollers in big cities. UppaBaby and Bugaboo Stroller shopping can be a source of stress for parents. There are endless options, from travel strollers to multiple kid strollers. While pregnant with my first child, I debated which of these two to buy. I ended up going with the Vista because its frame is narrower, allowing me to walk through single doors with the stroller. While my kids don't use strollers anymore, I still get texts from friends asking which of these two is a better option. Both strollers have similar specs: they come with a bassinet for infants and a seat for when a baby can hold their head up. They both have a single adjustable push bar, big sturdy wheels, and ample storage space. The Vista retails for $999.99 and the Donkey for $1,499.

It's no surprise since parenting websites have consistently voted it one of the best changing pads for babies. Since becoming a parent in 2018 I've seen this changing pad in every baby registry my friends have put together. Word of mouth has turned it into a parent favorite because it makes changing diapers easy, as the rubber texture prevents babies from slipping. It's also easy to clean if accidents happen — which they do, all the time. Advertisement The Indi diaper bag by Dagne Dover is a parents' favorite. Dagne Dover Leaving the house with a baby means parents need to carry so many things: diapering items, feeding items, extra clothes, a collection of pacifiers, and the beloved stuffie that can never get lost. It has enough compartments to separate items and includes a Neoprene sleeve for dirty clothes or diapers. The bag also has several outside pockets for must-reach items like wipes and keys. The Indi diaper bag comes in three sizes and 11 colors. The larger bag retails for $219. Advertisement The brand uses recyclable materials like birch wood in its furniture, including the $975 Moss crib. To make it the ultimate status symbol, you can add the $499 Newton baby mattress , which is breathable, washable, and can keep your baby cool. Because leaks happen, there's a waterproof option that retails for $399. A $280 kit to convert the crib into a toddler bed is also sold separately. Advertisement Insider Nothing is more time-consuming for new parents than feeding a baby , and the idea that breastfeeding is free doesn't take into account the number of hours someone has to spend hooked to a baby or pump for those first six months. While many insurance plans cover regular pumps, the next big thing is getting a hands-free pump that allows parents to do other things while pumping. Brittany Mahomes shared a photo of herself  using a hands-free pump while doing pilates , and Blake Lively has been seen wearing one too. Having used both myself, I can say they are pretty comparable. Advertisement The Artipoppe baby carrier comes in many different prints. Artippope I often see people asking in luxury goods Facebook groups where people buy and sell products if anyone is selling their Artipoppe baby carrier. All Artipoppe carriers are designed for use from birth until 2 years old. They can be carried facing in, facing out, or as a backpack. Advertisement The Iimo balance bike is stylish and minimal.

Coterie Having had twins, I've tried all the diapers on the market. There was a clear winner when it came to keeping my babies dry overnight: Coterie diapers . While they don't come in cute prints like other brands, the quality is unparalleled . Models and moms Karlie Kloss and Ashley Graham not only have used the diapers with their kids, but have become ambassadors of the brand. Kloss is also an investor in the brand. Sizes range from newborn (under 10 pounds) to seven (over 41 pounds) and retail for $90 without the autorenewal options. If you choose to auto-renew, you get a 10% discount. Advertisement The Nanit pro baby monitor can track sleep and breathing. Nanit Sleep is essential for kids as they grow, so it's no surprise that parents with disposable income are going for the Nanit Pro baby monitor . The Nanit offers a sensor-free breathing band to be used when the baby is a newborn up to 3 months old. After that, a sleep tracking subscription option lets parents see how many hours a child has slept and get insights on what they should adjust. The app also shows the temperature and humidity in the room. Beyond the extra features, the camera's definition in the dark is excellent, allowing parents to keep an eye on their little ones even in the darkest of rooms. Celebrity moms like Gigi Hadid and Halsey put the Nanit in their baby registries. The camera can be mounted on a floor stand or on the wall and retails for $249 to $399. Advertisement
