The Top 25 Baby Products for 2016 (from the ABC Kids Expo)
Well, this post took me much longer than it should have to get up! But there were so many amazing products at the ABC Kids Expo and I had the hardest time deciding which ones to share with you. I had hundreds of pics of products on my phone to sort through, but I finally narrowed it down to my top 25. So here we go, for round #1 at least. More round-ups on other days, including car seats & strollers, of course! And sleep sacks too, because there are so many options these days!
1 | OXO TOT SPROUT CHAIR IN NEUTRAL COLORS
OXO Tot is adding white, gray, & black high chairs as well as gray & navy seat cushions to the lineup. With all the current color options plus the new ones, there will be a total of 30 options to choose from!
AVAILABLE NOW FROM AMAZON.
2 | FRIDABABY FEVERFRIDA
This thermometer checks your baby’s temperature every four seconds through a little Bluetooth monitor patch placed under their arm & will send an alert to your smartphone when the temperature rises above a predetermined threshold. No need to wake & disturb your sick babe. So smart.
AVAILABLE NOW FROM AMAZON.
3 | MINI MAT BY EZPZ
This brand launched last year with their silicone placemats that suction to the surface of tables, keeping your kid’s food off the floor. They’re adding a mini mat in November that will be a better fit for most high chair trays.
AVAILABLE NOW FROM EZPZ OR AMAZON.
4 | DOCKATOT DELUXE+ BABY LOUNGER
A multi-functional lounging and playing pod. They keep baby surrounded in a comfortable and snug environment whether playing, lounging, or working on tummy time. They come in two sizes ranging from 0-36 months.

5 | JACK N JILL NATURAL TOOTHPASTE
This stuff was new to me and now I’m now obsessed! It’s all-natural, color free, sugar-free, preservative-free, and sweetened with all organic natural flavors. And can I just tell you how yummy it is? Plus I’m a sucker for good packaging, which just happens to be recyclable and BPA free!
AVAILABLE NOW FROM AMAZON.
6 | MUNCH MITT TEETHING MITTEN
It features a textured flexible surface that provides soothing teething relief, plus it’ll keep little ones entertained with its crinkly noise and stimulating black & white pattern. It’s made from food-grade silicone and is BPA and phthalate-free.

7 | MODERN TWIST SILICONE COLORING PLACEMATS
These reusable coloring placemats are made from food-grade silicone. Kids can color them with the included dry-erase markers, then simply wipe clean and start over! Perfect for keeping little ones entertained at restaurants.

8 | NEAT CHEEKS FLAVORED FACE WIPES
You’ve probably seen scented face wipes, but these ones are even better because they’re flavored with the natural plant extract Stevia. They make it much less of a battle to clean your kid’s face.

9 | SNAPPOWER GUIDELIGHT
I love these because they’re clean-looking, and you don’t have to worry about your little ones trying to play with a plugged-in nightlight. I want one for every room in our house.

10 | SOAPSOX WASH MITT
These are so fun & clever. They’re washcloth plush animals that you get wet, “feed” with liquid or bar soap, and then foam up for bath time! They’re anti-microbial, machine washable, and have an optional string you can use to hang them to dry. The ones pictured below are the newer, smaller Soap Pals that will be released in the spring.

The Pello can be used as a newborn lounger, tummy time mat, and a secure spot for a wobbly baby to sit. Once they get older, it can be used as a lounger. It has two handles and folds in half for easy carrying, plus it has one small pocket and loops on the side to attach your baby’s favorite toys.

14 | 4MOMS MAGNETIC HIGH CHAIR
This thing has magnets in the tray to guide it right into place. And not only that, but the tray top also has magnets in it to keep the corresponding magnetic dishes in place, hopefully reducing the amount of dishes thrown on the floor! I love how sleek it is, and the one-piece insert will make it easy to clean.
AVAILABLE NOW FROM AMAZON.
15 | RE-PLAY RECYCLED TABLEWARE
These toddler dishes are made out of recycled milk jugs right here in the USA, plus they’re super durable and lightweight. I absolutely love the addition of white to the line-up.

They turn any standard cup into a sippy cup! I plan on keeping one in the diaper bag for use at restaurants since they work so much better than regular lids.
