Babies & Kids

Feeding a hungry baby in a high chair isn't always a picnic. But the right high chair can help to contain mealtime madness and make the whole experience a lot more enjoyable for you and your baby. A high chair usually consists of a frame and an attached seat with a safety belt and a footrest.

Safety gates become key equipment once your little one starts crawling. Use them at the top of stairs, between rooms and as an instant childproofing tool that can travel with you to hotels and to Grandma's house.

A backpack carrier lets you travel in ways you never thought possible with a baby, including a hike or snowshoeing. It can often let you go where a stroller can't, give your baby a new perspective on the world, and offer you hands-free mobility.

You can turn any bag into a diaper bag, but one designed with babies and parents in mind will have extra compartments and other features that make it easier to stay organized. Consider size, style, comfort, and especially durability--this bag will get a workout on the go.

Play yards—updated versions of playpens—are for more than just playing. They can also provide babies with an enclosed place for napping and some can function as a portable changing table, saving you from having to run to the nursery for every diaper change.
