If the cool Spring air is calling you and your baby outside for a bike ride, don't forget to bring the most important safety item ever, a helmet. This Giro Me2 Infant Bike Helmet fits infant heads measuring 18.75 to 20.5 inches (48 to 52 centimeters). It's available in multiple colorful designs and has a built in visor. In case you are not the only one working up a sweat, this helmet has 20 vents with built in bug netting to keep your child's head cool. Wearing a helmet may not be the most glamorous look, but it sure beats the alternative.

I think I write about this product every Spring. This is the time of year when we start to open up our windows. If you live in a house where the windows are easily accessible to your toddler, you NEED window guards. I have had window guards on several of my second story windows for years. These guards withstand 150 pounds of pressure, yet remove easily with emergency release buttons. Don't be intimidated by the price tag. You are protecting the only item in your house that is truly priceless.

My least favorite baby phase is the wobbly learning to walk phase. It seems like every end table or chair has a target on it and your baby's forehead is aiming right for it. You can't keep your baby from taking every tumble, but you can make the landing easier with this Prince Lionheart Table Edge Guard. This table guard is 12 feet long and easy to install and remove. It's easy to trim to the desired length. There are 4 cushiony corners included as well. You will be glad when this phase is over. You will be even more happy you took the precautions you did.

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.

It contains organic and sustainably grown ingredients and is PABA free. If you have sensitive skin, you don't have to stay inside watching all the fun.

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.

Baby monitors have come along way from the heavy, static filled devices. Monitors now have video capability and remote options. This one from Philips AVENT provides extra long range of up to 1,000 feet. In addition to providing safety, this monitor plays soothing lullabies and has a nightlight for added comfort. Best of all, you don't have to break the bank for your peace of mind. This one is almost 20% off. Now that will give you a good night's sleep.

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.
