If the Fresco Fiamma was a car it would be a Lamborghini, all sleek and red and sexy. But since it's a limited edition baby high chair it feels weird to refer to it as sexy, so I'll just say super-awesome-cool. Bloom Baby , purveyors of …
Now that Wize has announced the winners of their best car seats for children , we're glad to see two of our own favorites made the list: The Britax Roundabout and the Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 . Both of which we love because they're safe, th…
It's still a little depressing to put a really ugly bib over a really cute outfit, if not as depressing as staining the really cute outfit with carrots. Problem solved: b amici's beautiful cotton bibs are like wee accessories themselves.…
I'm pretty sure that I'm done having kids, but every once in a while I see something that makes my arms ache to be holding a newborn again. Such is my reaction to the irresistible Noonie swaddle blanket from Lala's Pequenos . It's made f…
I was initially introduced to the members-only sale site bTrendie as a beta tester and later as an advisory board member offering my opinions about the site itself as well as what products moms would want to buy. One of them is easily a …
When products claim to make your newborn baby smarter, I can't help to be skeptical. Sure, I want the best for my kids but part of me wonders whether I really need a bunch of special educational toys and other gear to give them the upper…
Parents who love Baby Legs looooove Baby Legs, and they'll be excited to see that the new fall styles are now out on the new and vastly improved website. My favorite has to be the Hero legwarmers and by hero, we all pretty much recognize…

Team Cool Mom Picks spent last week walking around the huge ABC Kids trade show in Las Vegas, finding incredible new products to share with you - and realizing that yeah, we pretty much have been mispronouncing every juvenile products br…
Potties aren't exactly the kind of item that gets me all excited, but I when I saw the new Bumbo Potty Seat at the recent ABC Kids trade show I actually did a double take, then backtracked to check it out. I loved our Bumbo baby seat whe…
Designer Cath Young says her label Chunky Chooky is dedicated to "cool things for small people," but I'd argue you don't have to be particularly small to relish her adorable softies--creatures, rattles, and so-called wabbits fashioned fr…
With three kids and only one bag, I've taken to paring down to what I consider to be an essential? to make room for stuff I really need when I head out the door. And lately, that's meant tossing the usually hefty diaper changing pad and …
Just when I'm convinced that I have indeed found the cutest rattles ever, I take a spin through etsy and find stiff competition in the handmade birdie baby rattles from Mamachee. These rattles feature sweet little birds on a brown handle…
Stokke's Tripp Trapp high chair is a classic that's been around for 37 years--in fact, my daughter recently sat in the one that I had used as a kid. How's that for longevity? The basic principle behind it remains as popular with parents …
I make no apologies about dissuading people from giving stuffed animals as baby gifts because the damn things just seem to spawn and multiply overnight. But I could easily make an exception when it comes to the gorgeous plush baby rattle…
We make no bones about loving cool stuff here at Cool Mom Picks, and while we'd love to sport every single thing we feature, we haven't yet won the lottery. So when we happen upon sites that let us snag the designer stuff at ridiculously…
When my daughter turned five last month, we decided to be completely done with any cups with a top. That's all fine and dandy when we're home, but it does make life a little difficult when we're on the road . So instead of buying stock i…
Take one peek in my closet and you'll know that I'm an equal opportunity bag lover. I fully embrace everything from schmancy patent laaaazeather purses to simple cotton totes. Lately, I've been on a sporty bag kick , mostly because I can…
I emailed a few months ago asking what your favorite baby carrier was and your reply was The Rockin Baby Sling, which I ordered and love. I am now looking for an Ergo/Beco type carrier. Do you prefer one over the other or is there anothe…
While I can't say that sleep sacks miraculously kept my kids from waking up, they at least kept me from needlessly running to their cribs to cover them up or untangle them from their web of blankets. It's a great practical gift for new m…
We've all experimented with the best way to keep track of a newborn's schedule of eating, sleeping, and pooping. If the pen-and-paper way isn't for you, then Sarah Masci's stylish and eco-friendly Lullaboard may do the trick. This dry-er…
Magic Beans may sound like something a frat guy tried to slip me back in college, but it's actually the name of a super stocked Boston area baby gear and toy store. The mom/pop team of Eli & Sheri Gurock have done a great job streamlinin…
You know how you have your everyday jeans and your "fancy" jeans? (Or is that just us suburban moms.) Well these personalized burp cloths from Blume are like those, perfect for when you want your baby to spit up on something a little mor…
It's amazing how far baby gear has come since I had my first daughter just under five years ago. Since her car seat was the only place she'd nap, the poor girl sat for hours in an uncomfortable, unpadded, three-point harness seat. Grante…
