GB Zuzu Stroller, a new lightweight folding stroller: “I’ve tested MANY strollers, and I was super impressed with this one… Besides having a small footprint on the sidewalk, it folds down quickly and compactly in a way I’ve truly never seen. It’s much smaller than the typical umbrella stroller, and it also works with Graco and Chicco car seats without any adapters. To top it off, it has a standing fold, which is perfect while waiting for taxis or subways.” Plus, click HERE to enter to win a Zuzu! $199.99, gbchildusa.com

TWELVElittle Diaper Bags, made with high-quality materials and stylish designs: “They are so stylish, made from baby-safe materials, and the built-in pocket to separately store dirty clothes and other messes is genius! Nothing else gets dirty, and it’s easy to wipe clean later on. I particularly love the Courage Backpack and the Carry Love Tote.” Prices vary by product, twelvelittle.com
