Practical Summer Must Haves for Families

by Kate on June 3rd, 2011 | 4 Comments » | In Shopping

Are you ready for summer? We have some of the best gear to help make your trips to the beach, pool and park a bit easier. Because, let’s face it: it’s NOT easy so every little bit of convenience helps.

Skip Hop BENTO: This is not your average diaper bag! The BENTO includes an insulated Mealtime Kit, which slides into a convenient compartment—keeping food in its own special place. The Mealtime Kit with CLIX containers is perfect for baby food or snacks. The bag also contains oodles of storage and organization and universal stroller clips. The gender-neutral colors and thoughtful design make it all-parent-friendly.

Go Gaga Stuff Sack: This handy little bag is odor, stain, leak, and water-proof making it perfect for dirty diapers, wet bathing suits or any ol’ mess you need to transport from point A to point B. It’s even perfect for your packed luck.

JJ Cole Blanket: Stake your claim at the beach or park on this generously sized waterproof blanket. It folds to a compact size with a handle so you won’t feel like you’re lugging your King sized comforter all over town.

Baby K’tan Breeze: We love babywearing, but in warm summer weather all that closeness can get hot. The Baby K’tan Breeze is made of 50 percent breathable mesh and 50 percent soft cotton. The mesh and cotton combination is a more breathable material but has the double loop design of the original Baby K’tan, offering plenty of stability and support.

    I agree that a blanket is definitely a must have. Great list of items to have!

    Great looking diaper bag, when we bought ours I had to consider that my husband would be carrying it some of the time and so all the ones i loved,e.g colourful and flowery were not an option. We went for boring old balck!!! Maybe for the next baby i’ll treat myself, he can use the black one!A great option for all your feeding bits I’m also a big fan of travel bottle warmers

    We’ve got the JJCole blanket and absolutely love it!! I highly recommend it for anyone who goes to the park regularly. The blanket is thick and durable, and cleans easily with a damp cloth (or paper towel when you’re on the go!)
