Cool Baby Gifts for New Moms

Wondering what to give a mom-to-be? Tired of the standard burp cloths, diapers and so on? Then check out these cool gifts any mom is sure to appreciate (if you have kids, you may even want them for yourself!).

1. Rotating car seat. Finally, someone made getting a baby in and out of the car a bit easier! The Zeus 360 car seat by Combi rotates in a complete circle, without having to be uninstalled. Designed for forward (up to 33 pounds) or rear facing use (up to 40 pounds), the seat locks firmly into position after rotation. http://www.combi-intl.com/

2. Baby care timer. Any mom has had those moments when she can’t remember what time the baby last ate or how long he napped. Enter Itzbeen, a multi-purpose tool that helps parents keep track of important details. Itzbeen has four one-touch timers for changing, feeding, sleep/awake and more (medication, exercise, etc.). It’s especially useful for those with twins because keeping track can be doubly hard! http://www.itzbeen.com/

3. Baby MP3 player. Having soothing music in the background can help comfort baby, whether before nap time or just any time. The Baby Bidou MP3 player has a built-in speaker, parental volume control (it will never play too loud), and can be loaded with your music or even record your own voice. It also has a fade feature, enabling the volume to slowly decrease as baby falls asleep. The cute animal shapes are easy for toddlers to hold and are made of safe, non-toxic plastic. http://www.babybidou.com/

4. The ultimate high chair. The Svan chair isn’t just an ordinary high chair. It’s a beautifully designed Scandinavian-style chair that grows with a child, from a high chair to booster seat to toddler chair to desk chair. Made of bent birch wood, the Svan chair seats children up to 3 years old, and, as it converts, adults up to 250 pounds. http://www.svanusa.com/
