The Best of the Best Baby Gear

By

It seems like every day that passes by, someone puts out a new “Best of” or “Favourites” list for baby items. “Top 5” this and “Top 10” that. The trouble is, whom do you trust? What makes one product better than another – and good enough to outrank hundreds – sometimes thousands – of other products?

So here’s what you do. Step 1: Take a trusted brand such as Fisher-Price.

Step 2: Find their recommendations for babies. For instance, Fisher-Price Favourites include:

Ocean Wonders Aquarium
My Little Snugabunny Cradle N Swing
Infant to Toddler Rocker
SpaceSaver High Chair
Discover’n Grow Jumperoo

Step 3: Find out WHY they’re favourites. Too many times companies arbitrarily list products that are best sellers, or products they’d like to promote. Not the case here. These particular items are Fisher-Price favourites because:

– The toys have been tried & tested through the years, and year over year have been favourites of moms, not just in Canada, but globally.

– They have lasted through generations of kids, and continually pass, not only the “Dr. Alfano test”, but also the “kid test”!

– They encourage child development and support children in achieving important milestones.

I am proud to stand behind Fisher-Price’s Favourites and can vouch that many of the products were passed between both my boys, especially the beloved Jumperoo.

(We had the “Rainforest” version – and I must admit that Ryder was a little territorial when we first handed it down to baby brother Reid, pictured right.

It was one of the first baby items he had a sense “belonged” to him, and he became a little green with envy every time Reid bounced away happily. Sigh, the good old days!)

  2. Our fave is the Laugh & Learn Love to Play Puppy! Fisher-Price makes such quality items that last!

  3. I love the Fisher Price Aquarium too – ours is 10 year old though so a bit different than the current model. My son still uses it for a nightime music box. (When I was a kid my fav was the record player with plastic discs!)

    • I loved the plastic record player too! In fact I found out that you can buy a “retro” version – saw it at F-P headquarters last year!

  4. Reid looks pretty happy to have a ride on Ryder’s toy!! Cute picture! When Sara was small I only bought Fisher Price. I grew up with FP. My Mum and sisters just seemed to know that it was FP that was for my girl. I have always trusted the brand. We started her off with the FP tape recorder. I believe it is because of this product that Sara has such a lovely knowledge and love of all music genres. Mum bought her the kitchen and dolls house…we played with those for years and years.

    • I love that Fisher-Price has been tried, tested and true throughout the generations. Thanks for sharing, Teresa!

  5. i am in LOVE with the snuggabunny swing. it’s still the only way lil lady will take daytime naps, and it also happens to be adorable!

  7. No personal favourite, but I’m seeing a lot of things on that list that I’d like to gift at upcoming baby showers

  8. I trust the Fisher Price brand for sure. They are durable and great for kids’ development. We have the aquarium and both my kids loved it in their crib. It’s still working perfectly and I’ll be using it for baby boy #3 (due end of June!!)

  9. Love the Little People sets! I’m finding it hard to give away even though my kids don’t play with them anymore. My favorite set is the Christmas nativity set.

    • LOVE that one too NT. I picked one up for the boys this past Christmas but was afraid to give it to them ;)

  11. my favorite is the fisher price highchairs.I work in a daycare and they are super durable!
