Momcozy's baby carrier is designed for babies from 7 to 44 pounds per the brand, so this one should last you a while.

After buying a crib and a changing table, a Diaper Genie was next on my list of nursery must-haves. Parents have long trusted them, so I'm not surprised this one was selected for our most recent Parenting Awards. The diaper pail even comes with a five-month supply of disposable bags.

Diaper bag styles have come a long way, and I like that this functional backpack has a more elevated look. It comes with an insulated bag (great for bottles), a changing pad, straps for attaching the backpack to your stroller, and a bag charm to hold baby's all-important pacifier. Fun fact: our Lab pros named the brand's toddler backpack their top pick in that category.

Keep dinnertime stylish with this high chair from Evolur, a brand our pros like for changing pads. It has solid beech wood legs and a seat cushion that's easy to wipe clean. Best of all, the legs can be reassembled so it can be used as a toddler seat as they grow. Two colors are on sale right now. Ages 6 months+

We love Maxi-Cosi for their car seats, bassinets, and bouncers. This rocker has three reclining positions and can be used as a rocker or stabilized by popping out a rear leg on the frame. The seat inlay is reversible and machine-washable, and I like that this one has a touch of style. It also folds flat, which is great if you’re traveling with it. It's built for babies up to 20 pounds. Ages 0 to 12 months

Large, thin blankets are nice for swaddling, but they can also be used as a nursing cover, stroller cover, burp cloth, and more. This beautiful set of four is made of a cotton blend, and Momcozy recommends washing them in cold water and letting them air dry. Ages 0+
