CindySince becoming a grandmother (Mimi) I have had a wonderful new experience with my precious grandson living in a whole new world with some the latest amazing baby accessories! Here are 7 super helpful baby accessories carefully researched (and now user tested) by our daughter-in-law and son!
Each of these items make all our lives easier, healthier, and more safe. When I get to enjoy “baby lovin’” time with my infant grandson I get to see and use new accessories and foods. So fun! At less than a year, our grandson is moving and playing more now which means fun, engaging, educational toys and other accessories are a big part of his day!
1. First up for helpful: Stroller with the ability to grow with your babe!
The UPPAbaby Vista V2 Stroller has been such a great help to us for getting outside in the fresh air and strolling around the neighborhood, malls, parks, and stores. It takes care of your needs as your baby grows from infancy to toddlerhood.

2. Accessories for super baby coolness: Babiator sunglasses!
While on a stroll why not protect AND entertain your precious one (and bystanders)? Babiator sunglasses are protective and fun for babies, kids and anyone who sees them! They offer some polarized shades and come in a variety of fun styles. Babiators are flexible, soft and have 100% UV protection for your little baby’s eyes. Another must have super fun accessory for those outdoor days and beach trips. Our grandson looks absolutely adorable wearing his sunglasses (while enjoying everyone’s reaction to his “look”).
3. Super vital accessory: Portable Baby Sound Machine
Sleep…still the most protected frontier! Take control over the noises that can interrupt sleep…and help your babe sleep soundly on your walks or fun adventures with this portable sound machine that attaches to your stroller and/or car seat! By far, our favorite: the Yogasleep Hushh Portable White Noise Machine.
4. Super motor skill accessories: Foot finder socks & wrist rattles!
Are these not the cutest? Socks and wrist rattles with butterflies and lady bugs attached! They are adjustable, colorful, make soft crinkling sounds and can develop motor skills. Great for wearing in the stroller, or car seat, or during playful tummy time. Check out the price on Amazon!
5. Comfort & Joy! Boppy pillow to feed and chill with The Babe!
When you get home from your stroll and baby is hungry, the Boppy pillow provides support for you and your baby by making positioning during feedings much more comfortable. The early bonding feeding times with your baby are so precious. Making it as easy and as comfy is made much more possible with this ergonomic Boppy Feeding and Infant Support Pillow. It can be placed around the front or side of the waist. As baby grows it can be used for supervised awake-time activities such as propping baby up, sitting and tummy time play. A must have for early baby coziness and comfort! Check out the price on Amazon!
6. Skin care accessories: Aquaphor Healing Ointment
The ointment we prefer to protect baby’s tender bottom from diaper rash is Aquaphor Healing Ointment. This works so well. It is preservative and fragrance free. It can also help with many other skin irritations such as cracked, dry or irritated skin for the whole family. Check out the price on Amazon!
7. A super SANITARY accessory: The Baby Bum Brush!
Just like a soft and sanitary spatula, the wonderful hands-free diaper rash cream applicator is (cutely) called the Baby Bum Brush. This applicator is very soft and flexible for brushing cream on baby’s sensitive bum, super easy to clean and stands up easily with a suction base. Check out the price on Amazon!

I hope these baby accessories provide a healthier, safer, more fun and helpful life to you and your family.
With kindness and wishes for all the very best,
Cindy
