Maxi Cosi Mico Infant Car Seat

Even before taking your babies home from hospital, car seats are an absolute must and vital to your babies’ safety.

Infant car seats not only protect your baby in the car, they allow you to carry your baby between the house and the car (and elsewhere) easily, even during naptime. There's quite a bit of difference between infant car seat models on the market today, so take a look at the following considerations to be sure you get the right infant car seat for your baby and your vehicle.

• 5-Point Harness: Look for an infant car seat with a five-point harness, with straps that go over baby's shoulders and hips. The extra harnessing protects baby much better, particularly in side- impact crashes.
• Weight and Height Limits: Be sure to check the weight limit on any infant car seat you're considering. Most infant car seats will accommodate a baby up to 20 pounds, but some infant car seats have a slightly higher weight limit, which can extend the useable life of the car seat. Pay attention to the height limit and watch your baby carefully in the infant car seat, as it is outgrown by height when the top of baby's head is within an inch of the top of the shell. (Remember to consider size of preemies. Look for seats that have a lower weight requirement such as 4-5lbs).
• Head and Side Impact Protection: Look for EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) Foam, the same material found in bicycle helmets.

Trio Triple Tandem Stroller by Foundations

The right stroller can make your life with your babies so much easier! Strollers can be a parent's best friend, but choosing the wrong baby stroller could spell trouble and inconvenience. Strollers are available to match just about any lifestyle, so think about how you want to use the stroller first and then look at strollers that best fit your life and your baby.

Since strollers can be one of the most costly investments you will make on a single item, safety features, convenience and practicality are all equally important features when shopping for that perfect stroller, so be sure to take your time when comparing lightweight vs. standard vs. jogging strollers.

Baby Mel Diaper Bag X2

When you're shopping for a diaper bag, you've got your work cut out for you. Diaper bags are available today in seemingly endless styles, colours, shapes and price ranges.

The amount of gear you need to carry in a diaper bag may change as your baby goes through various stages, so you may need to switch diaper bags to find the right fit.

For any mom of twins or triplets storage is everything, so keep in mind the following must haves when shopping for your next stylish diaper bag:

• Two insulated pockets for bottles.
• Enough room for diapers, toys, snacks, and extra clothing.
• A bag that easily straps onto your stroller.

There are so many styles and options available on baby cribs today, making the purchase for a perfect baby crib a daunting task. Determine your price range and decide which baby crib features are most important to you. If costs are an issue, consider using one crib or a playpen while the babies are still infants until signs point to the need for an additional crib.

A safe crib should have a firm, tight-fitting mattress, no missing/broken hardware or slats and no cut-outs in the head or foot boards. Slats should be no more than 2 3/8" apart (about the size of a pop can). Corner posts should not be higher than 1/16".

Before buying any diaper changing table, look carefully at the construction and shake it to see if it's wobbly, uneven or otherwise unsafe for baby. Also, if there's a rail to help keep baby on the changing table, be sure it's securely attached.

Most importantly, remember to keep an eye on baby products recalls, including cribs, as some may be found to be unsafe or have unsafe parts.

Sleek & Secure Colour Video Monitor

by Summer Infant

There are dozens of baby monitors available for purchase at baby products stores. But when looking of a monitor that covers multi- rooms, the selection becomes even fewer.

For twins and toddlers who sleep in separate rooms, a monitor with added functionality like the ability to monitor more than one room offers parents convenience and peace of mind. Here are some things to keep in mind when shopping for a baby monitor:

• The level of bandwidth. Lower bandwidth could interfere with telephones landlines, cell phones or other electronic devices (a system that is 1.9GHz frequency or greater will provide very little outside interference).
• Look for a monitor that is digitally enhanced cordless, or DECT.
• For more than one bedroom or multiple rooms such as playrooms, the ability to view split screens at the same time.

Super Large Play Mat by Tiny Love

Here’s something you won’t have to buy two of, a Play Mat for two! A play mat is essential for any baby to develop their gross motor skills and with enough room for more than one, they will keep each other busy and stimulate their interactive skills.

When purchasing any play mat for your twins or triplets, whether you plan on purchasing two separate mats or just one, ensure there is enough room to allow your babies to move around, stretch their arms and legs, practice turning over, lean on all four and rock back and forth.

Look for colourful illustrations, mirrors, a variety of textures and sounds; and friendly characters that engage babies during tummy

Graco Activity Centre

Fisher Price Activity Centre

A stationary play center or play saucer helps baby learn to stand while enjoying built-in toys and activities. Stationary entertainers are safer than baby walkers since they don't let baby wander into danger or fall down stairs.

Most play centers offer toys and a swivel seat, but many play centres in the market offer a variety of fun-filled features such as bounce and swing movement that go beyond the basics.

Remember that ALL stationary entertainers should only be used once baby has gained head and neck control.
