Best Products For Babies and Kids July 2017

1 BOB Revolution Flex Lunar Jogging Stroller

"This incredible jogging stroller ($469) has so many new-and-improved qualities that will make this the only jogging stroller (maybe the only stroller) you ever need. Not only does it have cool reflective material on its body for nighttime strolls and runs, but the stroller also has a locking front wheel to make going at your top speed much easier, no matter what time of day it is. It also has an adjustable handlebar so that each parent can easily set it to the right height for them and a car-seat adapter (though you shouldn't run with a baby in a car seat until they're between 6 and 8 months old to ensure their head and neck muscles are up to it). It's just super sleek and polished — this thing is basically the Lululemon of jogging strollers." — Alessia Santoro, editor, Moms

2 Doodle Designs and Relax Pink "Color Sip Relax"

"After mentioning to a friend that I would like nothing more than an evening alone to sip a glass of wine and just relax, doing something that didn't revolve around the kids, the most unexpected package arrived at my door. It was a Pink Color Sip Relax Box ($50) from Gift Box Pros that came with a bottle of Spanish Rosé, an adorable wine glass, an adult coloring book, and a set of colored pencils . . . everything I needed to make that night exactly what I wanted. She knew me too well. The kits are available in four varieties (Riesling, Red blend, Pinot Grigio, and the aforementioned Rosé), so there's one to suit every mama's taste. With several weekend trips booked this Summer, I know exactly what I'm sending along for hostess gifts — even if my host hasn't hopped on the grown-up coloring trend, I know her kids will love the books and she'll enjoy the wine!" — Rebecca Gruber, vice president, Editorial Partnerships

Not only does this reusable one stand on its own, it can also fit under swimsuits. Couple all that with the fact that it provides SPF-50 sun protection? Sold." — Kate Schweitzer, senior editor, Moms

6 4moms Breeze GO Playard

"Carrying around a playard is kind of a nightmare, as is opening and closing one, but this one will actually make setting up baby on-the-go or a vacation to grandma's so much easier. Smaller than your typical playard, the Breeze GO ($200) holds little ones up to 30 pounds, is easy to wipe down and clean when they inevitably spill something or have a blowout, opens and closes with one easy motion (either a push or a pull), and comes in a convenient traveling case for easy storage and transportation." — AS
