I simply love it when everything works and nobody is hungry
My favorite tray - has double tray insert, so when there is a mess, you simply remove the upper part and let baby play on the lower tray while you clean. Also very big and deep tray, so it contains toys and mess. Has a cupholder too.
hauck Alpha High Chair Tray
Formula dispenser we use every day. As breastfeeding never really worked for us, we were using formula from day one and baby brezza just makes it soooo easy. It mixes everything in seconds, is compatible with I any major formula brand in Europe and S...
Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced Bottle Maker
I wish I had this thermos kettle sooner. It's perfect for traveling and has been a game changer in the hotel rooms. It keeps the water temperature at 37 degrees and makes it so much easier to make the bottle in the middle of the night. Allowed us to ...
Travel Electric Kettle - Perfect for Formula
My favorite high chair - we have two of them, as they work just as good as stokke but are 3 times cheaper. And they also come with the best removable tray.
hauck Alpha High Chair for 6+ Months
I saw once how other parents used it in the airport to feed their baby and I immediately approached them. Ever since then it has been our most beloved gift item to any new parents as we take it on every trip. It is also fantastic for warming up baby ...
It is basically a powerbank powered thermos, which heats when you need it too.

Liini - portable baby food warmer with powerbank
Our favorite bottles - we started with Philips Avent, but our son could not take them without getting fussy. And then we discovered MAM and never looked back.

Absolute must haves for an active baby
I was honestly surprised how long we did use this baby bouncer with both of our kids - we still do and my son is almost 3 y.o. (!).
It's great for feeding a newborn baby, for giving them a bottle to hold on their own. You can bring this bouncer every where - we got it with us in the car when going abroad even.
But the most common use case is to bring your baby where you need to be - shower, kitchen, baby room, you name it.

BabyBjörn Baby Bouncer
my daughter loved it - she was on it everyday for 7 months. And the music toy was just right - entertaining for her, not annoying for us.

Absolute must haves for an active family
This is something you might forget to add to your baby list, but trust me, you want to have one for those early days. And you will keep on using it until your baby is facing forward.
Baby Car Mirror
Very convenient device allowing to have hot water and milk anywhere you go.
Momcozy Portable Baby Bottle Warmer for Travel
Super lightweight, not expensive, safe and great quality chair. It has an integrated sun shade and is very easy to install without a base. We took it on our travels in the first year and couldn't be happier.
Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix i-Size Baby Carseat
We love this carrier - super robust, machine washable and can be used from birth (3.5 kg) up to 15 kg.
BabyBjorn Carrier One Air
Great travel stroller with many attachments already included. It is airplane compatible and quite lightweight. Aslo it reclines fully and can be used from birth.

It's 10 times cheaper than a baby monitor, connects directly to your phone and works remotely - no hub needed, just set up and go! Love it :)

Hygiene and health
All the essentials for your peace of mind and health of your baby
A very simple to use device which helps our kids to recover better from colds and cough. Especially useful in winter, as the air in Zurich gets really dry.
Saline Inhaler - Nobilizer
The best nasal aspirator I ever had. I really wish I had it with my first. But now I use it for my baby and my toddler. It makes cleaning nose effotless, and has an integrated night light and music too.
Electric Snot Aspirator
Easiest to use baby and toddler (and adults too) thermometer. We use it all the time - for us, for kids, for travels. Allows to measure temperature without waking them up.
My toddler finds it very amusing and interactive too - not scared at all. And he always asks to measure by himself, which he actually manages quite well. So definitely intuitive design.

Braun In Ear Thermometer
Super affordable and very well made nappy bin - contains the smells and is easy to use. It doesn't stink when replacing the bags too, which is something very important for us. It's possible to buy branded or non branded bags. Just watch out for the q...
