J.L. Childress is updating their most popular travel bag. The Gate Check bag will soon be made of a heavier fabric and will come in 3 sizes to fit all types of strollers. Look for this updated bag in September.
A new product is coming from Owlet, the makers of the Owlet Smart Sock. The Owlet Band will work similar to the Smart Sock, except this product tracks a growing fetus instead of a born child.
The Owlet band will track and record fetal heartbeat, track contractions, count kicks and measure movements, track maternal sleep position and send smart health notifications to your phone. This is a great product for any pregnancy but will be especially useful with high risk pregnancies.
The Owlet Band will launch in stores and online later this year.
Meet the newest way to stroll, the expertly designed Evenflo Pivot Xplore All-Terrain Stroller Wagon. Unveiled at The JPMA Show in Orlando, FL, the Pivot Xplore offers a unique riding experience, converting seamlessly between a stroller and all-terrain wagon, and safely accommodating two children up to five years.
The Pivot Xplore’s unique design gives parents the option to push as a stroller or pull as a wagon, easily switching between the two with a flip of the fully adjustable handle. Rugged wheels provide a smooth and comfortable ride on any terrain and an extra-large storage basket for holding on-the-go essentials make the Pivot Xplore the ideal companion for hitting the beach, the trails, or just cruising around the block.
Additionally, the Pivot Xplore offers extended use thanks to its roomy interior that accommodates one or two children from six months to five years in both the stroller and wagon mode. Passengers can also enjoy comfortable features like adjustable sun-shield canopies, cupholders and easy-to-access storage, add-ons previously only found in traditional stroller designs.
Coming soon.

LEMO stands for LEss is MOre. And less is more with this highchair. The Cybex LEMO grows with your child from birth and until adulthood. No need to buy a highchair, a newborn insert for said highchair, a toddler booster and then a big kid chair. This does it all. And everything on it (footrest, seat height, depth of the seat) can be adjusted with one hand. No need get the tools out again.
In fact you don't really need many tools to begin with. There are 4 screws total and it takes maybe 4-5 minutes tops to put it together. This was one of the simplest baby products I ever put together. That in part is because it's not a giant bulky mess like most baby products, especially highchairs, can be. It has a sleek and simple look.
Here is the full view of it. As you can see, it's not a huge space taker. It doesn't fold up, but it also doesn't take more space than your average kitchen chair.
Don't let the size fool you though. This highchair can be used for quite some time in highchair mode before becoming a chair. Check out our 3-year-old product tester. She loved the chair! It has a great backrest with that supports any size. The ergonomic design of the chair is great.
You can buy the Cybex Lemo online now. The bouncer attachment is sold separately.
Another new product from JPMA. The Diaper Genie Quick Caddy combines two things needed for changing: a diaper pail and a storage unit for wipes, lotions, diapers, etc. all in one easily portable item. There is actually a handle on top of it, but it was folded down in the photo. You can carry it from room to room and even in the car.
You can store about a day’s worth of diapers (8-10 newborn-sized diapers) in the Quick Caddy, which uses an innovative clamp and Diaper Genie's standard 7-layer Odor Lock refill bags to help prevent diaper odors from escaping. You can empty it from a door in the back, same as regular Diaper Genie.

FYI this only works with the Fox. It has integrated adapters so you can't add adapters and use is with a different stroller. But it does not require any additional adapter, it just fits onto the Fox itself.
Right now I have only seen it in black, but there may be additional colors introduced.
