Resell your used Ergobaby carriers with this cool new program that keeps more baby gear out of landfills

by Kate Etue | Doing Good, Gear

When I read that you can now resell your Ergobaby carrier through Ergobaby’s new baby carrier buyback program, I got excited. I’ve tried to be more intentional about making environmentally conscious purchasing decisions lately, whether I’m reducing...
Why Britax BOB strollers weren’t recalled after 200 crashes. Spoiler: It’s political.

Why Britax BOB strollers weren’t recalled after 200 crashes. Spoiler: It’s political.

by Liz Gumbinner | Baby, Gear, Thinking : Parent

I just read the shocking new report in the Washington Post about the fight to recall the Britax BOB Jogging stroller and it’s disturbing, to say the least. It is worth your time to spend a few moments reading the entire story, but the essence: between 2012 and...
Wha-aa? A pool float made just for pregnant women. And our bellies.

Wha-aa? A pool float made just for pregnant women. And our bellies.

by Lexi Petronis | Gear

We’ll be honest, we are completely flipping out over this new pregnancy pool float. HOW HAS NO ONE THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE? When you’re pregnant, nothing is comfortable. It’s like all the regular things in the world start actively conspiring against...

The only pram that’s fit for a royal baby. Know any?

by Liz Gumbinner | Baby, Gear

With the announcement of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s new royal baby — an 8lb 7oz baby brother to Prince George and Princess Charlotte — we had to honor them with a baby gift fit for a prince. And so today, we bequeath the happy parents with a...
How would you describe yourself with just four 4 things?

How would you describe yourself with just four 4 things?

by Kate Etue | Gear

I love receiving personalized gifts, because they show that a friend has put a little more thought into gift-giving than, “Hey, it’s on sale!” So when I saw these fun personalized 4 Things tote bags at The Shop Forward, I went ahead and passed it...

You won’t believe the features built into these 3 new jaw-dropping luxury strollers.

by Kate Etue | Baby, Gear

The new fancypants luxury strollers that have come out recently have me thinking, whoa. How did I survive my own baby’s years with a regular old, not expensive, stroller? I mean, these new luxury strollers push themselves (literally). They monitor themselves for...

11 great baby gift ideas for second babies | Baby Registry Essentials Guide

The very best beach umbrellas and tents for families, after a ton of research

by Liz Gumbinner | Family Travel, Gear

You cannot even believe how much time I spent last summer tracking down the best beach umbrella. I finally went with my parents’ strongly recommended pick, which was a surprise one to me. (And you have no idea how strongly recommended it was, unless you a) know...
GB Ellum stroller review: Lightweight, compact and affordable, it’s a parent’s dream

GB Ellum stroller review: Lightweight, compact and affordable, it’s a parent’s dream

by Stephanie Slate | Baby, Gear

Ever get the feeling that a new stroller will cost about as much as baby’s future college education? Stroller trends over the years have certainly made it seem that way. Which is why I love finding awesome strollers at prices that won’t prevent our little...
The royal baby’s swaddling blanket? Actually, one you can afford too.

The royal baby’s swaddling blanket? Actually, one you can afford too.

by Liz Gumbinner | Gear

One of our favorite things about running Cool Mom Picks is watching the little labels make it big. And that’s just how we felt when we saw that Aden + Anais, the swaddlers we fell in love with way back in 2007 at their launch, have been photographed as the first...

Hi! We’re Kristen + Liz!



 Kristen Chase + Liz Gumbinner of Cool Mom Picks We started Cool Mom Picks in 2006 to help make life cooler, more meaningful, and more fun for parents of all kinds.

Trivia: It was called Cool Mom Sh*t for the first two days. (Yeah, we rethought that.)

We had no idea our site would grow to become a major lifestyle network, that we'd end up sharing our finds with the TODAY Show and Martha Stewart, that we'd be able to make a real difference for so many small businesses and women-run companies, or that we'd end up with an incredible community of the coolest readers on the planet. (If we do say so ourselves).

We still love what we do every single day. And we're so glad you're here.
