This is a great option for hotter months for both strollers and cars. Babies facing backwards rarely get the air they need even when AC is full blast. My son does not like the window open so this has been a life saver, almost literally.

This toy is compact, easy to operate and amazing for car rides. It plays classical tunes in a kid friendly way and has been a life saver on longer trips. My son has had this since he was 4mo and he still loves it!

Another amazing option for a sling carrier for baby! I love the feel of the fabric and the neutral, beautiful colors.
