There’s just something about the act of pulling them out of the box that mesmerizes little ones. And this is 100 times better than letting them have at an actual box of tissues. Trust us.

Another pretty gross but pretty important tool, the Oogiebear is exactly what it sounds like: a device to pick a kid’s nose and ears with.

Get one stroller fan to point at the baby, and one to point at the parent pushing the stroller. It’s pretty amazing. The level of comfort on a walk goes way up for both, and that may mean a longer walk with more time in the open, fresh air, away from those four walls they’ve seen for hours or days.

I like this one because the octopus-like arms grip the handle of the stroller or car seat, and they're easy to manipulate to position wherever you like. Also, the fan itself is pretty powerful, pushing out a lot of air.

This placemat is a real multitool when it comes to your baby. It’s an easily transportable, clean place for them to eat; it’s a play area; it’s a plate; and it’s even a serving device, thanks to the two straps.
