Safe Spaces for Baby

items Having a safe place to put baby down for a few minutes while you use the shower, run to the bathroom or try to grab a quick snack is so worth it. I have included carriers because sometimes carrying baby is the best way to make it work.

Baby Carriers
The most important things to look for with a carrier are that its comfortable for both you and baby, and that it is safe positioning for baby.
If you like the idea of a baby wrap, this carrier combines the added safety of buckles. The buckles help to ensure that baby is positioned well. This carrier is plus size friendly.
Boppy ComfyGrow Baby Carrier- Dove Gray
This is my top choice for a baby carrier. This carrier has magnetic buckles and is breathable. It is comfortable for parents and many babies who rejected other carriers, like this one. This carrier is made by Nuna (like the cudl carrier).
Joie Savvy Lite Air 3-in-1 Baby Carrier - Sandstone
This carrier offers an additional carrying position and is built a little more sturdy while maintaining the same great features.
Joie Savvy Air 4-in-1 Baby Carrier - Cinder
I do not recommend this product. The lack of support for baby and the parent is similar to $20 carriers. It is not a safe option and baby bjorn is fully aware of the safety issues with this product.
BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Mini Jersey - Light Beige
I do not recommend this carrier. This carrier is mass produced with the Mabe label stitched on and can be purchased from drop shipping companies in China. It costs around $6 per carrier and is a bad purchase. I love the way it looks esthetically, but...
Mabe The Monarch Soft Baby Carrier - Mocha Check
This is another popular carrier. It has been designed by Wildbird and is very comfortable.
Wildbird Aerial Carrier - Acadian - XS - XL
Swings & Bouncers
This swing is expensive and high quality. I personally love this swing. It is amazing at soothing a colicky baby.
4moms mamaRoo Multi-Motion Baby Swing Smart Connectivity - Black
Portable so you can easily pack this swing along to go to a friends house. I recommend getting something inexpensive like this swing since baby wont use it long and may not like a swing.
Ingenuity Sun Valley Canopy Portable Swing - Teal
This is another excellent cheap swing.
Bright Starts Playful Paradise Portable Compact Baby Swing - Unisex - Pink
This swing is so nice and cozy.
Ingenuity Every Season Swing 'n Go Portable Baby Swing - Wesley - Beige
Slim and lightweight. This product seems to be an imitation of the mamaroo. It does not seem to be well built for the price.
Baby Trend Sit N Sway Portable Baby Swing - Dash Tan
This swing looks nice and is good quality.
Joie Miso 2-in-1 Swing and Rocker - Logan
This new glider swing is very cool. It is definitely worth considering in my opinion.
Joie Cinnamon 2-in-1 Glider and Rocker - Fern
Evrloop is such a cool company. They have used all organic material. They will buy it back from you to recycle the materials when you are done with it. It costs almost as much as a baby bjorn.
Evrloop Organic Baby Bouncer - Mist Grey
This is my top choice. At just $30 its everything I want. Especially considering that a bouncer wont be used for more than a few months, I think this is a reasonable amount to spend.
Bright Starts Playful Paradise Vibrating Baby Bouncer with Toys
This bouncer is great! However $230 is a lot for something that wont be used for long. However if its in your budget, this is the best bouncer on my list.
BabyBjorn Bouncer Tri-Fabric with Toy Bar - Beige
Theres just something about winnie the pooh themed baby stuff that makes me feel nostalgic. This bouncer is so cute and it plays music if you have it switched on and also offers vibration for upset tummies.
Bright Starts Winnie the Pooh Dots and Hunny Pots Baby Bouncer
This bouncer is so plush! It also features music and vibration.
Ingenuity Soothing Baby Bouncer with Vibrating Infant Seat - Morrison
This bouncer can be used to 40 lbs!
Ingenuity Every Season Rocking Baby Swing Seat - Wesley - Beige
4 in 1! Anytime you can get something that does well doing multiple things, it is definitely worth considering it.
Graco Jumpstart 4-in-1 Activity Bouncer - Wren
This bouncer solves the issue that some parents find of babies not knowing how to bounce.
Chicco E-Motion Auto-Glider & Baby Bouncer - Gray
Playpens
I have pulled this playpen list from my safe sleep list. I believe that the more uses you have for a baby item, the better! So this is a list of sleep safe newborn to toddler beds that can be used for at home and travel. They can easily be a safe spo...
Greenguard Gold Certified, sleep safe, and the mattress is completely washable including the core! Perfect for messy situations or just wanting it fresh after storing if you plan on growing your family.
Compact Travel Crib & Play Yard | Newton Baby
Certified sleep safe. This travel crib is 11.5 lbs.
HARPPA Rossi | Lightweight Pack & Play – Travel Crib with Mattress for Home & Away
Overnight sleep approved and only 10 lbs.
Safety 1st Dream & Go 3-in-1 Travel Crib Grey
The Lotus is a wonderful option. You will find this product to be very useful.
Lotus Everywhere Travel Crib
The Calao is both beautiful and convenient. The bassinet is comfy and the lower section doubles as a sleep space and safe play area.
Calao Travel Crib
Only weighs 13lbs, and it comes with a lifetime warranty which makes it a sought after choice.
Moov and Comfy 3-in-1 Travel Crib and Playard
Baby Bjorn is a high quality choice. I do think that there are better options on this list, but this could be the best fit for your family.
BabyBjörn Travel Crib & Organic Sheet Bundle - Dark Green | Babylist Shop
Chicco is a great brand and this product is no different. If you are wanting a bassinet, this is not a good option.
Chicco Alfa Lite Travel Playard, Midnight
