Baby Gear for Baby Girl Jensen
As we count down the days until baby’s arrival, I’ve been living in a world of gear—reading reviews, watching demo videos, and clicking “Add to Cart” like it’s my full-time job. Turns out, babies come with a lot of stuff, and choosing the right pieces feels like curating your own parenting starter pack. From strollers that glide like butter to baby monitors smarter than I am, these picks check all the boxes: functional, stylish, and a little bit magical. Here’s everything we’ve ordered so far and why I’m obsessed:
1. UPPAbaby Vista V2 in Declan
The it-stroller for modern parents, and for good reason. The Vista V2 is spacious, sturdy, and grows with your family—starting with a bassinet for newborns and expanding to accommodate multiple kids down the line. I chose the Declan color because it’s a gorgeous neutral that feels classic yet fresh. Plus, the oversized storage basket is chef’s kiss for all those baby essentials and more.
2. UPPAbaby Bassinet
This bassinet is the ultimate cozy haven for newborn naps, whether you’re on the go or at home. It clicks seamlessly onto the Vista stroller base for daytime walks and can double as a safe sleep option with the bassinet stand (sold separately). It’s sleek, breathable, and gives me peace of mind knowing it’s safe for overnight sleep.
3. Doona Infant Car Seat & Stroller
If there’s one piece of gear I’m convinced will save my sanity, it’s the Doona. It transitions effortlessly from car seat to stroller in seconds—perfect for city life, errands, or traveling. No extra adapters or bulky strollers to wrestle with. It’s compact, innovative, and feels like a total parenting hack.
4. Lalo High Chair
This high chair is the minimalist dream. I love its Scandinavian-inspired design, which looks more like furniture than baby gear. It transitions seamlessly from a high chair to a toddler chair, so we’ll get plenty of use out of it. Plus, it’s easy to clean—a must-have feature for anything involving food and babies.
5. Armadillo Baby Carrier
For days when we want to be hands-free while keeping our baby close, this carrier is my go-to. It’s soft, breathable, and ergonomically designed for comfort (for both baby and parent). The neutral color makes it easy to style, and it’s compact enough to stash in the diaper bag when we’re out and about.
6. UPPAbaby CozyGanoosh
If you’re having a winter baby like us, the CozyGanoosh is a must. It’s essentially a warm, insulated cocoon that zips into the stroller seat to keep baby cozy on chilly walks. It’s soft, plush, and makes the Vista feel like a mini luxury vehicle. Bonus: It’s machine washable.
7. Car Seat Cocoon in Tundra
Perfect for colder months, this car seat cocoon keeps baby snug and warm without the need for bulky layers or unsafe coats in the car seat. The Tundra color is a soft, chic neutral, and I love how it seamlessly zips around the car seat for effortless warmth and protection. A winter must-have!
8. Keekaroo Peanut Changer
Forget fabric covers—this changing pad is made of durable, wipeable material that makes cleanup a breeze. I love that it’s stylish and functional, with a sleek modern design that blends into the nursery while standing up to all the inevitable messes.
9. Nanit Baby Monitor and Camera
Peace of mind? Check. The Nanit camera goes above and beyond with crystal-clear video, sleep tracking, and breathing monitoring. I love the idea of being able to keep an eye on baby (and track those sleep patterns) right from my phone. It’s smart, sleek, and feels like the tech upgrade every nursery needs.
