Baby Gear

Baby gear choices depend on your child’s age and size, your car and home, and how you get around day to day. This section is organized by need: strollers, car seats, baby carriers, cribs and bassinets, high chairs and feeding, baby monitors, diapering and baby safety. Our guides focus on fit, compatibility and the weight and height limits manufacturers publish. For safety-critical products we point you to official sources such as NHTSA, CPSC and the manufacturer’s manual instead of replacing them, and we do not give medical advice. Start with our overview guides: Baby Gear Checklist by Stage: Newborn to Toddler, Baby Gear for Small Spaces, Baby Gear for Twins: What You Need Two Of, Baby Travel Gear Guide: Flights, Road Trips and Hotels and Buying Secondhand Baby Gear: What Is Fine and What to Avoid.
