This’ll pacify them. The Natursutten Pacifier ($8.95 or $16.95 for a two-pack) offers the best of all worlds with a shape for all needs. The orthodontic shape encourages tongue movement against, rather than under, the nipple, while the round shape replicates breast feeding with the tongue under the nipple. Horses for courses. And of course, all Natursutten Pacifiers are totally free of Phthalates, BPA and all un-natural crap. They’ll suck with impunity!

G-Lite Stroller
No, it’s not going to float off. But the G-Lite Stroller from UPPAbaby ($129.99) is the lightest Umbrella stroller on the market, at a mere 8.3 Lbs. This in spite of one tough aluminum frame! It’s easy open with hand-level triggers, easy transformation with the removable canopy and an easy mobility with elevated rear wheels (Stubbed toes? Fugettaboutit.), shoulder strap and 4-wheel shock absorbing suspension. Light as air, and as versatile as your lifestyle demands. Easy does it.
Tubbly Bubbly Hippo
Let’s face it: Hungry Hungry Hippos was a pretty lame game, in retrospect. Kel Gar changes the game (and brings it into the tub) with the Tubbly Bubbly Hippo. ($9.99) It’s an easy-mount soft hippo head that prevents contact with sharp, scalding faucets in the tub. Even better, it’s also a bubble dispenser! They’ll have a lot more fun in the tub with this beast! Much more than you did with that stupid board game…
Big Eyed Monster Lunchbox
Don’t even THINK about sending them off with a paper bag. Not with Big Eyed Monster Personalized Lunchbox. ($38) Their name will be featured on the lunchbox, right next to Big Eyed Monster (who’s really a happy friendly monster), and in reverse on the back. The box is lead-free metal, and of course food-safe and easily washable. Lots of lunchtime fun, all in their name.
Recycle Big Kid Eco Backpack
They’ll be an environmental superhero with the Recycle Big Kid Eco Backpack from Dante Beatrix. ($46) It’s huge (14” x 15” x 5.5”) enough to carry around all their books, notebooks, snacks and even a pair of kicks. With the recycle logo all over the front, it’s cute enough to show off. Above all, it’s made of PET, containing about 16 recycled plastic bottles in each bag, so it’s eco-friendly enough for you to save the planet, one backpack at a time.
Pacifier Place
It’s always good to have backup. That’s why you should head over to Pacifier Place. ($12.99) This sweet little teddy clips on to any crib and holds two pacifiers for easy access. It’s non-toxic and lead free, and the convenient in-crib placement helps them develop their motor skills. And best of all, it reduces the risk of SIDS. And that’s the ultimate safety feature, right?
Kaboost
They’re not going to get any taller for a while, so give them a Kaboost. ($39) Kaboost has four spring-loaded arms that snap on to the legs of any chair and boosts the chair to two new height positions. Heavy-duty plastic holds up to 300 lbs, and stays securely in place even when the chair is moved. Choose from green, chocolate or natural, and enjoy having them at your level for dinner.
Breastfeeding Buddy
Baby needs a drink, but you don’t want to run to the bathroom, or whip out your milk jugs in the middle of the food court. What to do? Whip out the Breastfeeding Buddy ($6) instead. This funky clip works with your favorite blanket! Clip it on both sides of the blanket, hang around your neck, and nobody will know its feeding time. It’s a hands-free, totally discrete way to breast feed in public. Dinner is served.
Cover Cuddles
Ahhh, cushy! Cover Cuddles ($7.99) keep baby hands from sticking on glass bottles. It’s easy to get a grip with these plush microfleece slip-covers. And the bottle is even included! Choose from pink, yellow, purple or blue for a shagadellic new way to drink.
Mountain Buggy Double 2009
Double your stroller and your badass points with the Mountain Buggy Urban Double 2009. ($749) Even with two seats, it’s small enough (29” W) to fit through any door. The swivel wheel in front makes quick swerves easy, and the handlebar offers ergonomic comfort. High tensile aluminum frame, full reclining seat, five-point harness, foot brake and storage pockets mean strength, durability and versatility. And oh-by-the-way, it looks great. Make it Two for the road with the Urban Double.
