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

by Kate Etue | Doing Good, Gear

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...

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.

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...

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

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.

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...
