Really nice sippy cup for little ones that are looking to start moving away from the bottle. Super easy to clean.
Disney The First Years Sippy Bin Cup
I found this perfect for the amusement parks. It fits the top of a water bottle but spills if the bottle lays on the side but I wasn't expecting the world from this. I needed a straw method to make giving my soon to be toddler a better way to share w...
Water Bottle Straw Caps
Great cup for my little one. The weight keeps the straw down for whatever angle she turns the cup.

Essentials that are still working
List of items I have used with my babies and continue to use as they grow. These are in house items and on the go!
This thing was awesome. Not only was it a playpen but it was also a changing table and held all the necessities I needed for the baby. And it was portable!
Baby Trend Nursery Center
Personally I was on the edge of returning this like others but gave it a second try and I'm so glad I did. My baby is heavy and this hip carrier really takes that weight off my arms. The pockets are meh but the hip seat is genius.

These were the only binkies my daughter used. What was nice about it is they had a space for the binky holder that I would create and use with her!
NUK Comfy Orthodontic Pacifiers
Perfect idea when you don't want your baby putting their mouths on those dirty carts - or touching them!
2-in-1 Shopping Cart and High Chair Cover
Best double stroller to take to busy places - like Disney World. The back seat comes out and becomes a step or backless seat for the oldest. Folds pretty nice, but if you have a small hatchback or sedan, you may need to take the back wheels off.
Baby Trend Sit N' Stand Double 2.0 Stroller
My youngest is very uncomfortable in car seats that curve the back too much and I can see why. You're scrunched up constantly. Sitting normal is sometimes something you want and once we got this for her, the constant crying stopped.

I wish I had this when my baby was smaller, now I just have the hip holder and it does wonders!

Chicco GoFit® Plus Backless Booster Car Seat
Best double stroller to take to busy places - like Disney World. The back seat comes out and becomes a step or backless seat for the oldest. Folds pretty nice, but if you have a small hatchback or sedan, you may need to take the back wheels off.

Safety 1st Convertible Car Seat
When my oldest was no longer comfortable in her car seat I took her to target and had her sit in all of them. She picked this seat and on the way home (we lived 5 minutes away), she passed out. She used this until she got a full booster seat.
