The following is a look at five trends in baby gear. The trends change every year, but the only thing that is changing is that babies need a lot of things. Chairs: It used to be that babies needed a bouncer seat, a highchair, and that was about it. Today there is the Bumbo, which is a chair designed for children aged 3-6 months. It is formed to fit the contours of a Baby Gear and More and be extremely supportive of them. There are more elaborate inflatable chairs, high chairs that grow with your child. However, apart from that one of the big trends is based chairs. Instead of a sling you wear your baby is in, is a sling that goes around a chair, and supports your baby so they can sit up, no matter where you are as long as there is a chair around. Organic cotton clothing: One of the new things in the baby gear is to go organic. Organic cottons are the trend. They should be better for the baby’s skin and of course good for the environment, and so you can find vendors selling everything organic to the baby, shorts and pants, crib sheets and mattress protectors.
Systems stroller: a trend in baby gear this year is that the cart systems. Stroller systems are basically a stroller and a car seat that go together, and that the car seat can take to block or cart so you can push your baby around the mall, or a walk while they still are nice and comfortable in her car seat carrier. These systems also sometimes convert, or are changeable so you can adjust them as the child grows to meet their new needs. There are systems sit and stand strollers, etc. Also, there are systems stroller that come in all colors and designs to suit your needs and desires.
More natural colors: In 2007, the major trend in baby gear color was pink or blue, depending on the sex of your baby. Today, the trend moved away from pink and blue and bright primary colors, and is now more earth tones and neutrals. Natural colors such as greens, browns and yellows are a new thing for all the baby gear. Infant carriers are often neutral with rich earth tones. Crib are often green, brown, brown or mixed with pink, turquoise, green, etc. The more natural the color, and the more mature the color palette, the more modern it is.
Slings: Because you take your baby wherever you go, there is always a tendency to baby gear that has to do with carrying your baby. For a long time, the trend was bijorn baby backpacks, but this year’s “Sling” is a popular baby carrier of choice. The reason? It’s easy to take with you, easy to configure (as opposed to many straps and buckles for a backpack baby), and is washable. Moreover, many women found that they can nurse while wearing it, and adjust it or your baby if needed. It can be used in various ways, so if your baby is asleep you can cradle them, if they’re awake, you can charge them more as a style backpack.
