The Top 50 Baby Products for 2019 (from the ABC Kids Expo)
Last month was the annual ABC Kids Expo and I’ve finally been able to sit down and compile favorite products from the show! For those who may not know, ABC is a juvenile-products trade show that happens each fall in Las Vegas. The last four years I’ve attended to scope out the latest baby gear to hit the market and discover new products. It’s a lot of fun!
I always love sharing my favorites with you – here are my top 50 from this year.
