Summer Baby Registry Picks

If you’re having a summer baby, you’re a lucky mama-to-be; there’s nothing like welcoming your little one into a world filled with warm, sunny days. But, having a baby in the summer also lends itself to some pretty specific gear to help you weather, well, the weather. From nursery to neighborhood walks to weekends at the beach, here’s all your registry must-haves for that summer baby of yours.

1. Babybjorn Bouncer Mini.

We know it’s hard to put baby down for even a minute, but BabyBjörn’s new Bouncer Mini will have your newborn resting easy. The Bouncer Mini provides proper support for baby’s neck and back from 0-6 months and offers two positions for resting and playing. Plus it’s made from 100% cotton and free from harmful substances, making it perfect for the summer heat. And since it’s easy to take apart and reassemble (not to mention, no batteries!), it’s great for summer travel too. $129.95. Buy it here.

2. Bumbleride Speed Running Stroller.

There’s no time like summer to get out there and get in shape, and with Bumbleride’s brand new Speed running stroller, you can do it with baby in tow. We’re loving this lightweight and durable stroller, which is not only sleek and stylish, but also made from eco-friendly fabrics and water-conserving dyes. $549. Preorder it here (due out later this month).

3. Cybex Cloud Q Car Seat.

The latest and greatest infant car seat from Cybex will be perfect for hitting the road this summer. Safe, snug and oh-so-soft and cozy (including a full-recline position outside of the car), it’s also got a fold-away sun canopy made from UVP50+ material. $449.95. Buy it here.

4. Parasol Diapers.

We’ve never actually used the word luxury with diapers before, but Parasol has us rethinking our vocabulary. These brand new diapers are the trifecta: super-soft, super-thin and super-absorbent. And while we’re loving their summery, whimsical designs, we’re loving even more that they’re eco-friendly and nontoxic. $70/month subscription. Buy it here.

5. Babybjorn Carrier One Air.

Babywearing is the best way to make your life exponentially easier as a new mom, and BabyBjörn’s soft and cozy Carrier One Air, made from breathable mesh, is the best way to do it all summer long. It’s ergonomic for baby, comfortable for mama, and easy to use from Day 1 (with no infant insert) through 3 years, thanks to four front and back carrying positions. $190. Buy it here.

7. BabyBjörn Travel Crib Light.

The best way to keep baby sleeping safe and sound no matter where your summer travels take you, is to invest in an amazing travel crib. BabyBjörn’s Travel Crib Light will make your road trip easy breezy: it’s lightweight to carry, simple to set up and fold away, and includes a soft, comfy mattress that will have baby snoozing like, well, a baby, in no time. $300. Buy it here.

No piece of baby gear will get more summer stage time than a trusty muslin swaddle, which can go from spit-up saver to nursing cover to picnic blanket to, yes, baby swaddle in the blink of an eye. This fun summer style from Petit Pehr will brighten your day. $20. Buy it here.

9. Phil & Ted’s Lobster Chair.

Keep your summer brunch game strong, even with baby. Phil & Ted’s Lobster Chair clips on to just about every table, from that hard to get into restaurant down the street to the one in your own kitchen, meaning you can skip the bulky high chair. $90 Buy it here.

10. Tommee Tippee Pump & Go Starter Set.

Breastfeeding — and pumping — is harder than it looks, so it helps having the right resources from the get-go. Tommee Tippee’s new Pump & Go attaches to just about every pump out there, and includes everything you need to keep breastfeeding even when you can’t be with baby all day. The bottles also work great for a formula-feeding mom! $100. Buy it here.

11. Goat Milk Onesies.

This organic, neutral onesie from the cozy kid’s clothing brand Goatmilk will be your baby’s summer uniform. Buy one for every day of the week, and then switch up some cute bloomers and booties and voila! You’ve got an instagram-worthy look with basically no effort. $30. Buy it here.

It’s got 4 soothing nature sounds, 2 sleep-timer options, and a velcro strap for easy attachment anywhere and anytime. $25. Buy it here.

15. Belly Armor Smart NOVA Monitor.

Those first few weeks (ok months, and even years), you’ll probably want to keep an eye on baby every second of the day. Even when he’s sleeping right in the next room. Spy safely with the Smart NOVA Baby Monitor, which emits 97% less radiation than traditional digital monitors. $149. Buy it here.
