While gender-neutral and minimalist tones are trending, baby products have been slower to embrace this shift. There are plenty of reasons to avoid gender-specific choices, particularly for parents opting for a surprise. Choosing neutral, stylish items allows your home to retain its ambiance even with a new addition.
When your baby is ready to join family meals, you’ll need a highchair. Options range from clip-ons to standalone chairs, foldable models, and those with trays. Here’s what to consider when selecting one.
Ensuring your baby’s comfort and safety is crucial. Weaning introduces playful exploration, so look for a chair that accommodates your baby’s growth stages. Some models cater only to babies six months and older, while others are versatile enough for younger babies. Investing in an adaptable highchair, like Nuna’s Zaaz, can save you from needing multiple purchases. This model grows with your child, supporting them from the moment they’re able to sit independently until they’re ready for a regular chair.
An often-overlooked feature is cleanability. Babies experimenting with food create a significant mess, so choose an easy-to-clean highchair. Certain models, including Nuna’s Zaaz, have removable parts that are dishwasher-safe and are designed to prevent crumbs from collecting in hidden spots.
Bouncers and rockers might initially seem unfamiliar, yet they are invaluable for soothing your baby by mimicking the natural rocking they feel in your arms. Some models have electric components, while others rely on gravity. Nuna’s Leaf Grow, which operates without batteries, uses simple mechanics to rock gently for over two minutes with a slight push, giving you brief moments for other tasks. Its three recline settings enable stationary positioning, so playtime or feeding doesn’t end up on the floor. Nuna’s designs feature sophisticated, gender-neutral hues in various greys, ensuring the focus stays on your baby.
Interestingly, many new parents find that traveling with a small baby is easier than anticipated. Between three and six months is ideal as babies have stronger immune systems and aren’t yet mobile.
A travel cot is essential, with models like Nuna’s Sena Aire folding easily and coming with a travel bag and organic sheet. Sleek enough for home use, it doubles as a stylish travel companion. Besides the cot, consider bringing a monitor, a sufficient supply of diapers and wipes (enough to cover transit but often available at your destination), and weather-appropriate clothing. Remember a few comforting toys for familiarity, and, most importantly, enjoy these unique early experiences with your child.
