Tula Explore Carrier
Imagine having a baby carrier that would allow you to carry your baby either in front or back. Now think of that carrier being able to last you for the entire baby/toddler stage. Tula Explore is just that, and more. First, it is made to fit adults up to woman’s size 24 (larger sizes can request a belt extender). Next, you can carry your child from infancy to toddler, which is about a 45 pound weight limit. The Tula Explore is designed to carry your child three ways – backpack style, or in front, with them facing inward or outward. It is so versatile and functional; you will always feel your baby is secure while using it. It is easy to use alone, and the Explore has many features designed to provide comfort to parents, like padded straps and to the child – like newborn neck support. Fathers can also feel confident in carrying their child with the Tula Explore. The Tula Explore is available in tons of colors and prints to please any new parent.
Little Hometown Baby Clothes and swaddles
Little Hometown has the perfect gift for new parents; themed baby swaddles and other baby items based on where home might be. Their prints are cute representations of what the state is known for – like the California Girl, with its iconic golden poppies, sunglasses and pink corvette, to the Dapper Napper print with its golf shoes, bow tie and pocket watch. Prints are available for most states, and many are themed by flowers and local activities. Little Hometown products are a great way to send a little piece of home to the new parents or remember friends and family back home.

The Huhu Backpack Diaper Backpack opens completely at the top so you can see everything inside, adding to the thought out design that not only looks good but is very functional.
