Smart art makes a smart baby gift

by Cool Mom Team | Art + Decor, Baby

When products claim to make your newborn baby smarter, I can’t help to be skeptical. Sure, I want the best for my kids but part of me wonders whether I really need a bunch of special educational toys and other gear to give them the upper edge. But the Smarts...

Rock n roll princess

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

As my oldest daughter starts to get more into fairies and princesses and all things pink (God help me), I’m still trying to keep her just a wee bit rock ‘n roll. So I love the looks of this handmade guitar lap tee that feels both girlie and rocking all at...

Need more justification to get a Bugaboo? Try their new partnership with (PRODUCT)RED.

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

It’s turning into good cause day at Cool Mom Picks, which is just okey dokey by us.  In this case, it’s Bugaboo, whose Frog stroller saved this Brooklyn mama from three years of curbs, cobblestones, and car-eating potholes, and the noble cause: The...

Portrait of the Wonder Woman as a young girl

Parents who love Baby Legs looooove Baby Legs, and they’ll be excited to see that the new fall styles are now out on the new and vastly improved website. My favorite has to be the Hero legwarmers and by hero, we all pretty much recognize the strong nod to Wonder...

Sharing baby photos without driving everyone crazy – Who knew that was even possible.

by Christina Refford | Baby

If only lil’grams had existed back when my oldest was born, we would’ve been able to channel our new-parent enthusiasm in a far more stylish, manageable and less-annoying manner than the hundreds of photos we emailed, webcasts we scheduled, and blog we...

The Britax Blink will keep strolling and strolling…

by Carrie | Baby

The first thing each of my kids were strapped into was a Britax car seat. I liked Britax’s quality and reputation, and now that both kids have outgrown the seat, it still looks like new (except for a bit of cracker smudge on the straps). So it makes sense that...

Bumbo Potty Seat

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Random Coolness

Potties aren’t exactly the kind of item that gets me all excited, but I when I saw the new Bumbo Potty Seat at the recent ABC Kids trade show I actually did a double take, then backtracked to check it out. I loved our Bumbo baby seat when the girls were little,...

Halloween baby onesies that look just as good November 1.

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

I used to feel bad when my baby wasn’t the only one sporting holiday themed clothing. But when your kid only has a week to wear it, it’s really not the smartest budget choice anyway. So here’s a way to stretch a buck — grab something that works...

Toddler bedding that’s looks absolutely nothing like toddler bedding. (That’s a good thing.)

by Carrie | Baby

I hesitate to admit that my daughter’s current toddler bedding collection includes a queen sheet wrapped twice around the mattress and a handmade quilt with shudder-worthy pink flowers. Needless to say, not my style. That’s why I was so drawn to Olli and...

On the wings of angels

by Cool Mom Team | Baby, Kid Style

If you watch Project Runway (and if you don’t, you’re dead to me) then you know that shoulders are the new black. All the fall fashions seem to be drawing attention to shoulders in some way, and now baby clothes are in on the bandwagon too. Here,...

Baby Burrito – Changing my mind about changing pads

by Cool Mom Team | Baby

With three kids and only one bag, I’ve taken to paring down to what I consider to be an essential? to make room for stuff I really need when I head out the door. And lately, that’s meant tossing the usually hefty diaper changing pad and making do with my...
