MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio
I'll admit it, a weather radio might seem like a strange choice for a site dedicated to "cool babies." As parents, it is our role to be prepared in any circumstance. In light of the crazy weather all around this country, it is important to have all the tools we need to care for our children. In addition to the basic AM/FM features, this MIDLAND WR300 Weather Radio receives all NOAA weather channels and uses specific area message encoding technology. You can program it to edit out or add specific warnings at any time. No need to be awakened for a thunderstorm warning, but you will probably want to keep the tornado setting. It's better to be woken up by an alarm than the sound of a tornado. It's also the best way to get your family to safety.

Cozy Cub Quilted Baby Bunting
Before you know it, the dog days of summer will be history and the cold weather will be here. Make sure you are prepared for the winter and stock up on cold weather essentials. This quilted baby bunting has triple layer technology (water repellent shell/Thermolite® insulation/microfleece lining) without the bulkiness normally associated with typical outdoor wear. The silky lined arms and legs will make it easier to glide this snowsuit on and off. Even better, this jumpsuit is reduced to nearly 50% off its regular price. At this rate, you might even be wishing for snow!

Baby Jogger POD Chassis, Crimson/Gray
Sooner or later this heat will break and we can all go outside again. When it does break, be prepared with this baby jogger pod. It will help you stay in shape and keep your baby happy. The padded bench style seat can accommodate one or two passengers with 5 point safety harnesses. The screen cover will protect your little passengers from any flying critters you might encounter on your run. When you are done, use the patented quick fold technology to fold the POD in one simple step. If you prefer, use the ample storage pocket in the back to hold some snacks and you can enjoy a great outdoor snack with your little ones. That's time well spent.

Puddle Jumpers
I recently saw these puddle jumpers in action and was amazed! A little girl was wading through the baby pool, tripped and fell. Then, she flipped right on her back. This is a real upgrade from your regular water wings. They are comfortable and easy to slip on. Of course, there is no substitute for parental supervision, but it never hurts to have the right safety tools either.

It's not too late to prepare for the summer ahead. One of the most important items you can stockpile is sunscreen. I keep one in each car, the pool bag and in the kitchen. That's so the older kids can get a quick spray after breakfast and before school. This Sun'n'Berry Fun Organic Baby Sunscreen is PABA free and is fortified with antioxidants from superberries. Green tea and Vitamin E are also key ingredients that are included to reduce cancer causing free radicals. This is one sunscreen you want to keep in your sun protection arsenal.

Sun Smarties Family Beach Cabana Tent
When it comes to sun safety, you can't be too careful. Sunscreen, sun glasses, and water are staples in the summer. For added protection while outdoors, bring your own pop up tent to block the sun's harmful rays. This beach tent has an SPF of 50 and has breathable ventilation panels that zipper up when a little privacy is needed. When the day is over, simply fold it up, put it in its carrying case and head home. When you hit the road again, just throw it in the car and off you go.

Kiddopotamus RayShade UPF 50+ Stroller Shade
It's great to be outdoors this time of year. Many families are glad to soak up some sun after a long winter. If you are taking a stroll in the park or attending an outdoor festival, it is important to protect your baby from the sun. Many strollers have a window in the canopy so you can keep an eye on your baby. The downside... you are also letting the sun in. This oversized shade attaches easily to your existing stroller for added protection. It's easy to adjust and even rolls into a self storage pocket. You can hand wash it when small messes occur. So get outside and have some fun. You and your baby deserve it.

InStep Grand Safari Swivel Wheel Jogger
As jogging strollers go, this one is a pretty good bargain. It is reasonably priced and has so many great features. It has pneumatic tires with molded rims that provide performance and style. There are cup holders for the runner and the baby because hydration is important if you are running or just along for the ride. If you have a high tech little one in your stroller, then you both will love the built in MP3 player for the baby.
