Baby Safety

As a new mom is all too aware, her first job is to keep baby safe. The amount of baby safety gear that’s available is mind-boggling and the spectrum of products runs from totally essential items (outlet plugs) to entirely superfluous ones (knee pads for crawling babies). Baby safety products are important but mom should also know CPR, basic first aid, and how to childproof her home. It’s enough to send a mother haywire but don’t worry, we have you covered - our top-notch advice and answers to moms’ common safety questions will make you a baby safety pro. How can I keep baby safe in the car? What should I do to make my nursery safe? Are there any cute baby gate options? These questions and more are expertly addressed in our Q&A’s and baby safety guides.

The iPad of Baby Monitors

Seriously, we think this baby monitor could’ve been invented by the CIA -- it’s just that high-tech and fancy! The monitor even works like an iPad: It uses touch-screen technology so you can pan, scan and zoom to see everything that’s going on with baby. If you want to see what face baby’s making, all you have to do is zoom in, or if you want to check if the window near baby’s crib is open, you can pan the camera around. It’s the perfect surveillance tool for moms who want all the details. Summer Infant BabyTouch Digital Video Monitor, $280 at Babies “R” Us
