The Top 65 Baby Products for 2018 (From the ABC Kids Expo)
A few weeks ago we attended the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas and I’m so excited to finally be sharing our favorite products from the show with you guys! The ABC Kids Expo is a huge juvenile-products trade show that happens in Las Vegas every fall. Lots of big baby brands announce new products that will be hitting the market in the coming year, and there are also lots of smaller brands showcasing their products. It’s a lot of fun!
This year I’ve rounded up more products than in previous years, but I just couldn’t narrow it down! So here we go, in no particular order…
1 | BOB RAMBLER JOGGING STROLLER
A more affordable & compact jogging stroller from BOB! It features the same suspension system, 75 lb weight capacity, and swivel-locking front wheel that we love about the other BOB models, but this one has more compact 12″ tires, a solid black canopy, and a non-height adjustable handlebar making it available at a lower price point.
