Now that I'm a mom, I pay much closer to attention to other parents out in the wild. At restaurants or at parks, I check out the strollers because I'm curious to see if there are any brands or hacks I don't know of yet, like a cool hook or attachment, and I check out baby carriers too. One thing I've noticed all over the place lately are convertible car seat canopies. Drape them over the stroller when it's sunny outside, and pull them over your head when it's time to breastfeed in public. And it's not just me noticing these things on the streets of San Francisco; sales for these multipurpose car seat canopies are up 992 percent on Amazon. Check out some of our favorites and how you can use them.
