With how integrated tech is becoming in our lives these days as parents, it’s getting harder to narrow down our favorite apps, software, hardware, and other 21st century picks. Here are a few of our favorites of the year, including some picks from our sister site, Cool Mom Tech.
Tech
Uh, the iPad? Helloooo… –Liz + Kristen
Toshiba scored major parent points with their new Toshiba Kids PC. It’s comes preloaded with safety features and a kid-friendly browser, and the wipeable keyboard is truly magical. -Kristen
Tech Accessories
If smartphones are the brag book of the new century, the custom photo iPhone case from case-mate lets you show off your kids before you’ve even turned the thing on –Liz
The gorgeous new Clover laptop bag from Epiphanie carries your fancy camera and computer together in style. Best part–no one will know that except you. -Kristen
Apps for Kids
Papertown Friends is kind of my dream app for kids: Artful, adorable, and best of all, very very quiet. –Liz
I’m just as obsessed with Pictureka for iPad (and iPhone) as my kids are– maybe more. Cool graphics and educational without even really knowing it. Love. -Kristen
Apps for Parents
Kudos to Hipstamatic, which launched a whole new category of iPhone photo filters, and makes even my worst photos look pretty darn cool. –Liz
The awesome PriceBlink add-on for Firefox has already saved me time and money in the few days since I’ve installed it. All you need is a computer; the rest it does for you. -Kristen
