A car seat that alerts you if your baby is left behind, a bassinet that responds to your baby’s cries automatically, a swing you can control with your phone, and a video monitor that tracks your baby’s breathing are just a few of the features available. When it comes to constructing your baby registry, if you’re a tech-savvy parent, there’s no shortage of innovative baby items to pick from. These are the ones you should add to your to-do list. (Best Baby Gear)

A Car Seat With More Intelligence

If you’re inclined to add more technology-forward items to your baby registry, a tech-enabled car seat is a wonderful place to start. The Sirona S is a very secure, very innovative seat with a lot of clever features that both you and your child will like.

The Sirona S is the first spinning seat to be released in the United States. What’s the big deal about this? Swivel seats make getting your child in and out a breeze, especially when the seat is rear-facing. And while riding forward-facing is considerably riskier for your infant and toddler than extended rear-facing, any seat that makes this easy merits top ratings.

The second high-tech feature worth noting is a smart harness clip. If you leave your child in the car, a specific clip on the harness sends you a notification to your smartphone. It will also alert you if your child unbuckles the clip, becomes too hot, or sits for too long.

You Can Control A Sound Machine (and More) With Your Phone

We believe that a sound machine should be on every baby’s registry. We’re always here to help babies sleep better and longer with white noise and other ambient noises. Hatch incorporates everything we love about the sound machine and amplifies it with cutting-edge technology.

The Hatch Rest combines a sound machine, a night light, and a time-to-rise clock into one device that you can control with your smartphone. It’s made to help your baby sleep better by providing a variety of pre-programmed light and sound themes that encourage healthy circadian rhythms and melatonin production. You may adjust or design your own themes based on what works best for your family, and you can manage everything remotely, so you’ll never have to perform the ninja crawl out of your baby’s room again.

A Breathing-Tracking Video Monitor

Video monitors have profited from new technology more than virtually any other area of infant gear. (Car seats and strollers are two more categories that have benefited greatly from technological advancements.) Even when your child is sleeping, the Nanit employs technology to help you keep a better—and smarter—eye on what they’re up to.

The Nanit is capable of almost anything (and does it well). The Nanit is first and foremost a video monitor. Even in complete darkness, the camera provides a crystal clear, bird’s eye vision that allows you to see every corner of your crib. Then there’s respiratory protection. The camera detects your baby’s breathing motion by reading the custom-designed pattern on the band of this one-of-a-kind wrap. (There are no sensors or add-ons needed.) If anything doesn’t seem right, you’ll get a notification on both your phone and your camera. Finally, the app gives you access to sleep metrics and “Nanit insights” with video history, sleep monitoring, and even sleep coaching every morning. What more could you possibly want?

A Thermometer That Notifies You When You Have a Fever

Nothing causes greater anxiety than when your child becomes ill. Keeping a check on your child’s temperature, particularly overnight, maybe a great stress reducer and help everyone sleep better.

Vava’s smart thermometer uses a soft, silicone, and totally wireless patch that fits your baby’s armpit and shows the temperature reading on an LCD screen. When the system detects a high temperature, it notifies you with real-time beeps and a blinking LED light. The patch charges in around an hour and a half and lasts for 24 hours. It’s dependable and simple to operate, and it’s ideal for ensuring your safety throughout the night.

A Changing Pad with Weight-Tracking Capabilities

The Weigh Me scale allows you to weigh yourself anywhere and at any time. This battery-operated infant scale is lightweight, easy to use, and accurate thanks to four sensors. When your child is extremely squirmy, there are choices to deduct excess weight (like a diaper) and a hold feature that offers an average weight. Everything is connected to an app, making it simple to track and record weight gain. Because the scale also functions as a changing pad, you’ll be able to utilize it long after your weight-gain worries have passed.

A Changing Pad with Weight-Tracking Capabilities

Worrying about weight gain is one of the most stressful aspects of having a newborn. It might be difficult to determine exactly how much milk or formula your kid is getting in because of things like spit-up and falling asleep during feedings—especially if you’re breastfeeding. Weigh-ins at the pediatrician are beneficial, but they aren’t always enough to alleviate new-parent anxiety.

A Travel Sleep Solution and a Suitcase

What’s cooler than a suitcase that you can ride in? Of course, one that converts an aircraft seat into a comfortable sleeping space for your child.

The JetKids Bedbox from Stokke is a practical travel solution that’s perfect for any flying trip. Your child may either drag the child-sized luggage or ride on top of it while you do the job. (The front swivel wheels make navigating a breeze.) When it’s time to board the airline, this ingenious luggage tackles the problem of sleeping on the plane by converting the airplane seat into a bed in five simple steps.

This suitcase is recommended for children aged three to seven, while the bed feature is best for children aged two and above.

A Breast Pump That Doesn’t Require Your Hands

The electric breast pump has not altered much in a long time until only a few short years ago. Then came the Elvie, and pumping was never the same after that.

The Elvie is a totally hands-free wearable pump. There are no wires to connect or cables to tangle; simply charge each pump, place it in your nursing bra, and let it do the rest. Because the Elvie is entirely quiet, you can pump almost anyplace. Suction levels may be adjusted, there are seven strength settings, and just five components to clean. There’s also an app that can track your pumping history, monitor your milk in real-time, and even manage the pump remotely. Pumping has never looked better.

A Breast Milk Bottle that Preserves Nutrients

Many parents prefer to feed their newborns with breast milk that has been pumped. However, in order to keep the nutrients in pumped milk, it must be handled and stored properly. Nanobebe bottles were created expressly for this purpose.

Unlike more standard bottles, these unusually shaped bottles were designed to resemble a breast. They were also designed to maintain the nutrients in the milk; the rounded form allows the milk to cool and heat twice as quickly as regular bottles, allowing the liquid gold to last longer. The bottles are compatible with a variety of breast pumps, and you can use adapters to pump straight into them. A vented slow-flow nipple aids in the reduction of colic.

A Multi-Functional Baby Food Maker

Looking to increase the ante on your baby food? The Babycook is a one-stop shop for anything related to homemade baby food. This elegant, compact gadget steams, combines, heats, and defrosts without using pots, pans, blenders, or microwaves.

Everything from delicate purees to chunkier textures is made with the Babycook. It won’t take up much room on your counter, and the area it does take up looks great owing to its sleek design. It has a glass bowl and a stainless steel basket and is easy to clean.

A Bassinet That Responds to the Cries of the Baby

Before your kid is born, problems like gas, congestion, and cutting teeny, little nails don’t seem like a huge deal—until your baby is born, and those are the things you’re fighting with and agonizing over a day in and day out. That’s why we’re so fond of anything FridaBaby. Their goods are well-designed, inventive, and offer brilliant answers to the problems that parents face on a daily basis.

This Baby Basics package comes with everything you’ll need to deal with the challenges of caring for a baby and beyond. Is this your child’s first cold? Go your NoseFriday snot sucker (that’s exactly what it sounds like) out and get to work. Do you have a stomachache that you can’t seem to get rid of? The Windi will complete the task. Everything comes in a reusable pouch so you can keep everything in one place and be prepared for whatever your child throws at you.

A Breathable Crib Mattress Made from Recycled Materials

Is there technology that can help everyone get a bit more sleep? Please, yes!

The Snoo makes use of technology in one of the most wonderful ways we could possibly imagine: it responds to your baby’s cries with gentle rocking and helps them sleep better. It was supposed to recreate the relaxing sensations of the womb and was devised by Dr. Harvey Karp, the pediatrician behind the “five S’s” and author of The Happiest Baby on the Block. The Snoo uses white noise and a built-in swaddle in addition to rocking to assist ease the baby back to sleep. There’s a mobile app that lets you control everything from your phone, as well as a sleep tracker and report.

Brilliant Ideas to Meet a Baby’s Basic Needs

This clever infant mattress is made with cutting-edge technology, and it shows. It’s one of the most breathable and sustainable baby mattresses on the market, and it’s a terrific option if you want an eco-friendly crib mattress that’s a bit different from the rest.

The Pebble Dream is entirely constructed of upcycled denim. (Each one prevents the landfill from accumulating 36 pairs of jeans!) This cotton fabric is inherently breathable, which makes it ideal for facilitating airflow through the mattress’s core. The Pebble’s signature cover is stain and water-resistant, and its unique shape allows for maximum ventilation. Another plus: this mattress is two-stage (firm on one side for newborns, softer on the other for toddlers), so it will last a long time, even though it isn’t cheap.

Baby Clothes that are simple to put on and take off

The Magnetic Me clothing line’s premise is so simple—and so brilliant—that you’ll scratch your head and wonder, “Well, why didn’t I think of that?”

This one-piece footie employs magnetic closures instead of snaps (which are a hassle) or zippers (which are considerably simpler but still not perfect). This simple adjustment makes getting your kid dressed and undressed a whole lot easier and quicker. The magnets are especially useful during those first few weeks when you’re apprehensive about clothing your small infant, as well as when your child grows more active and squirmy.

A Self-Propelled Stroller

This stroller will give your local strolls a boost—literally. An electric motor powers the E-Priam, allowing you to go more readily uphill or over uneven terrain. The lithium-ion battery takes six hours to charge and may go anywhere from five to 28 miles on a single charge. If you live somewhere where you’ll be battling hills on a regular basis (it’s wonderful for both up and down slopes) or using your stroller on gravel, sand, or snow, this is the stroller for you.

The E-Priam also has an all-wheel suspension, a one-handed fold, an adjustable canopy, several seat positions, and an average table height setting, allowing you to utilize the stroller as a high chair on the move.

Humidifier with Programmability and Customization

A humidifier may not be the most exciting baby item on your registry, but it might prove to be one of the most important, especially if your child becomes ill. The Hygro+ boasts a plethora of technologically advanced features that make it an excellent addition to any list.

This cool-mist humidifier is fully configurable and programmed. Simply select your desired humidity levels, and the humidifier will take care of the rest, automatically turning on and off to maintain the desired moisture level. The humidifier produces a 360-degree mist and works fairly silently, so it won’t wake a sleeping infant. It may also be used as a nightlight and an essential oil diffuser.

Rest and Recharge in a Cozy Spot (Literally)

Any new mom can tell you that you’ll be spending a lot of time rocking and feeding your baby. This wingback-style swivel chair is the ideal place to do so. It’s warm and inviting, with technology built right in, including a USB connector so you’ll never run out of charge if you need to check your phone.

The electronic control panel is concealed in the armrest, so it does not detract from the glider’s aesthetic. We particularly appreciate the smooth swivel and back-and-forth motion, which is ideal for calming a fussy infant.

A Swing That Moves As You Do

The majority of newborns like to be carried all day (and sometimes all night). The mamaRoo is a close second. With five natural motions, five speeds, and four built-in noises, this high-tech swing + bouncer hybrid replicates human movements and is Bluetooth-enabled for remote motion and sound control.

There’s something for even the pickiest of babies here, with titles like “auto ride,” “soft wave,” and “tree swing.” The mamaRoo reclines totally flat, so you may use it from the moment your baby is born until he or she is ready to sit up on their own. It has a detachable, machine-washable seat and a mobile with soft toys. In addition to the swing’s built-in sounds, you’ll be able to play music from an MP3 player.
