Peg Perego's newest stroller, the Team, was introduced at JPMA and will be in stores this September. The Team gives you the best of both worlds, an elegant single stroller with all of the features that converts into a double that “does it all!”

The stroller comes with the chassis, stroller seat and bassinet. With the use of the Team Adapter (sold separately) it converts into a double stroller with a second seat of the same size. You can also use one with the other or one seat with the bassinet or car seat. Primo Viaggio infant car seats attach directly onto the chassis – without the need for adapters.

Kioma calls itself the re-imagined infant car seat. It was designed from the ground up to be the safest infant car seat in the world. And the lightest. And the strongest. And the best looking. Here is what they did.

Safety - The Kioma Car Seat has achieved one of the best head injury criterions (a composite score of occupant head accelerations) the infant car seat market has ever seen. The unique handlebar acts as an anti rotation device in the event of a collision. It also helps protect your child outside of the car, from possible drops by a caregiver and it always stays in place, so injury from a moving bar never happens. The Kioma Car Seat features a new, proprietary foam formulation that is not only comfortable, but has rebound (meaning will 're-inflate' itself and be ready to absorb more energy almost instantaneously).

Function - Made from aerospace grade materials such as carbon fiber and aluminum, it's not only a great to carry but being so light helps in an accident as there is less inertia to change in the event of a sudden deceleration. This means more of the crash structure can be dedicated to slowly decelerating the child, instead of slowly decelerating the rest of the seat. The seat's lower weight also means less rotation in the event of a collision.

Handle - Kioma designed the position, and most importantly, the angle, of the handle and grips so that the weight of the car seat Kioma car seat transfers straight down through your arm. This, in conjunction with the seat's narrow width, means that you don't have to bend your torso or flex your arm while carrying the seat. Just let your arm dangle straight down, and the center of gravity of the seat will do the rest.

Other cool stuff - The bottom is made to rock a baby to sleep. It has removable, water-resistant upholstery. It holds a child up to 18 months old.

Coming in September.

Two new strollers coming from GB. The Pockit+ (left) is an upgrade from the current Pockit. It offers a slight recline and also can be made into a travel system with either GB or Cybex car seats. Adapters are sold separately.

Cybex's new American version of their popular Sirona M will hit the States by the end of the year. Lots of great features on this seat, one of which is very unique. The strap buckles work like magnet on the seat when you open them. You can see this above. This makes it easier to get the child in and out of the seat, with the straps totally out of the way.

Changes have been made to the American version, including the raised headrest and a different base. 

The new updated version of the Mamaroo is coming soon! The Mamaroo4 was shown at JPMA last week. Besides the fashion and toy bar updates, the main difference is the new interface (shown above). It is much more user friendly and is now Bluetooth enabled, so you can control it from any smart phone. This is coming in July.

Another new 4Moms product will be debuting soon too, but I don't have any pics or info. Just that is called the Breeze Go and is a smaller version of the current Breeze. It's expected out in June, so I will have more soon.

It will be available in the Fall.

Nanobebe is not like other bottles. Not at all.

This bottle is designed to protect breast milk nutrients essential to your baby’s health. Thanks to its unique geometry and increased surface area, the bottle cools quickly, which reduces bacterial growth, and warms evenly, which prevents overheating. Its innovative shape allows babies to hold it on their own and self-feed at a much younger age. Using the breast pump adaptor included, you can pump directly into it and then store it in the freezer or fridge. And it warms up 2-3 times faster than standard bottles, so you can promptly feed your crying baby.

Nanobebe also makes its own warmer, drying rack, steam sterilizer, storage bags, bottle brush and pacifiers. All of this is available on their website.

The LapBaby is one of those products I look and wonder why I didn't think of it first! 

The LapBaby is an innovative seating aid that keeps your hands free while supporting your baby on your lap. This product allows you to comfortably and securely support baby on your lap using a soft strap around the waist and back.

The LapBaby fits most waist sizes, and is adjustable. It comes with a soft drop cloth for spills during mealtime, and a pacifier/toy tether, to keep their favorite item close at hand.

It is available now on Primo's website.

Baby Trend is getting into the mattress business and their first one is something special. The Respiro Mattress was created to address the areas where many conventional crib mattresses are fundamentally flawed: they lack air circulation, are not breathable, are infused with carcinogenic flame-retardants and are an ideal environment for dust mites and bed bugs.

Engineered with high-tech mesh fabric stretched tightly on its frame, and featuring open-air sides, the Respiro Mattress is completely breathable and guarantees 100% ventilation. By not using foam and stuffing in the Respiro Mattress, the need for toxic and carcinogenic flame-retardants is also eliminated.

It will be released in early 2018.

A new innovative changing pad from Prince Lionheart, the IllumiPAD. It includes a built-in LED light at the bottom of the pad so that you can do changes in the dark. A silicon cover protects the pad when things get messy.

Not available yet, but you can preorder soon at PishPoshBaby.
