Everything is new to a new mom. So we’ve rounded up our all-time favorite finds for making motherhood in NYC as easy as finding a corned beef sandwich.
Ergo Baby Carrier
Instead of lugging a stroller up and down the subway stairs, stow your babe in an ergonomically designed carrier ($115-$160). It’s comfortable for moms and safe for kids up to 45 pounds.
Ella’s Kitchen Fruit and Veggie Pouches
It takes 30 minutes to put on a jacket, so you can forget about slicing fresh fruit before walking out the door. But you can have a delicious, nutritious snack with portable fruit-and-veggie smoothies ($11-$14).
MD Moms Baby Silk Babysafe Sunscreen Towelettes
Set a new record for speedy sunscreen application with handy wipes ($26). The doctor-created formula offers water-resistant, sweat-proof, broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection.
Crocs
We know kids who refuse to wear anything but this cool and comfortable footwear ($30). That you can hose them down after a day in the dirt is enough for us.
Mommy Carabeans
A mom’s stroller has to carry way more than just her kid. Make the most of your mobile home with mountaineer-inspired clips ($5), designed for attaching whatever your packing.
When you’re done traipsing about town, check out our favorite finds for bath time, bedtime, and playtime.
