Three things you learn when you have a baby: 1. You are totally able to function without sleep. 2. It takes about three diaper changes to be an instant pro. 3. Babies need a lot of stuff.

Fortunately, these 14 products that grow with baby are here to help you cut down on that last one. (You’re on your own with the diaper changing 😬.)

Motherly Timeless 5-in-1 crib and playhouse

Motherly

1. A crib turned bed turned playhouse

As one of the most expensive baby gear investments, why buy a crib that’s just a crib? Especially when you can buy one that’s a crib, a day bed, a toddler bed, a full-size bed and a playhouse? Created by moms for moms, Motherly’s Timeless Collection 5-in-1 Crib and Playhouse is an innovative, grow-with-me design that blends a minimalist aesthetic with unparalleled function. As a crib, it features an adjustable mattress support base with three height options that your little one can graduate their way through. What comes next is up to you!

We especially love the cool mesh breezy cutouts for extra comfort on warm days.

Baby Bjorn bouncer

Forget brightly colored plastic monstrosities. The no-frills Swedish-designed baby bouncer from BABYBJÖRN is nearly ubiquitous at this point. Since its release in 1961, it’s been making life easier for parents all around the world. With a small footprint, the ability to fold flat for storage and its clever transformation that allows for use up to 29 pounds, it’s easy to understand why. In fact, Motherly co-founder Liz Tenety calls it “the most-used product in our house for baby’s first year.”

6. Super powered stroller

The ultimate in versatility, the B.O.B. Revolution Flex makes all our stroller dreams come true. It’s an investment, but we think it’s worth every penny—it’s the only stroller you’ll need from birth through toddlerhood when used with the infant car seat adapter. It includes amazing features like a UPF 50+ canopy, water-repellant fabric, large cargo basket with tons of pockets, and a handlebar that can be put in nine different positions, just to name a few. And since it can hold kiddos up to 75 pounds, this baby will be put to use until elementary school.

Not only is this toilet a sleek addition to your bathroom (seriously—you might not even notice it there in the corner), it’s also an award-winning design that will grown with your baby. Start your tiny tot on the potty, and when they’re ready to graduate to the real porcelain throne, simply place the toilet trainer seat on your toilet seat to create a smaller hole for the little bottoms. Then flip the base of the toilet to create a step stool for your kiddo. Genius!
