The 100-percent leather shoes have an embossed sole to prevent slipping and sliding and a removable insole for additional comfort. The five styles will become available in mid-December.

What looks like an ordinary bassinet actually can perform a trick. The Graco Dream Sweet Bassinet ($149) easily flips over to become a changing table with the simple press of a button (don't worry, you need two hands to do so, so baby won't flip out!). The bassinet will be available by the end of the year.

Zoli will add a silicone bowl to its collection of tableware as well as a spork it's calling Fooni.

Reading classics to a baby might seem futile, but with BabyLit — a publisher that creates board books based on such notable works as Pride and Prejudice, Moby Dick and Don Quixote — it's a perfect primer for children up to 3 years old, with each book teaching a different concept. The latest installment is Emma ($10), which rightfully teaches emotions.

The company that created the silicone cover that transforms any cup into a sippy cup is coming out with a cup that's 100-percent silicone.

When a full-size diaper bag is just too much, this leopard-print crossbody pouch ($75) is a winning solution. Featuring an exterior zipper, a detachable mesh zip bag inside, and an included changing pad, just fill it with a few diapers, wipes, and cream, and you're good to go.

The First Years Portable Peace Sound Machine makes white noise and various sounds, but best of all, it will only be $15.

Another addition to Mountain Buggy's transportation line is the Freerider ($99). It can be used on its own, attaches to any stroller with a $30 connector, and its wheels light up.

What's the point of pumping into bottles when you plan to transfer the breast milk into freezer bags right away? This adaptor ($8) from EvenFlo, once it's released in January, will allow you to pump from any brand's machine directly into any type of bag.

These adorable JJ Cole backpacks come with a toddler-size sleeping bag inside.

Plenty of scooters are eyesores that no parent would want in the house. The Svan scooter ($99) is a clear exception. Made of pure wood, it transitions from a push scooter to a seated scooter to a traditional scooter that can entertain kids up to 5 years old.

With new car seat regulations keeping kids in rear-facing seats for longer periods of time, Graco has developed a solution to the common question about where kids' legs will go. The Extend2Fit Car Seat ($199) will have a five-inch panel that extends from the seat to serve as a footrest for bigger kids. The seat, which will be released in May 2016, fits kids up to 50 pounds and features an extendable headrest for growing tots.

Bumkins's new superhero collection — in Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman — will hit stores in November.

Born out of a grandmother's desire to put a lovey in the crib with her new grandchild (but wanting to abide by current safety rules), the Bitta Kidda Lovie Sack ($44) safely attaches the lovey onto a sleep sack so little ones can grab at it without risking suffocation. The sacks feature a diagonal zipper to ease with diaper changes and an internal diaper cover that attaches like the bottom of a onesie, to keep the sack from twisting around while baby sleeps.

Coming soon from the hooded-towel makers are three-dimensional stroller blankets that feature whales and elephants in vibrant colors.

This 100-percent breathable crib mattress ($295) is not just safe — it significantly lowers the risk of suffocation — but it's actually machine-washable! The removable cover can go right in the machine, and the mattress itself can be hosed off in the bathtub!

Plus, the large mirror at the center of the arch has a hidden cell phone pouch, ideal for taking candid photos and offering hands-free FaceTime.

Qdos — a new line of design-oriented safety equipment — is introducing the most stylish burner guard we've ever seen!

Perhaps one of the most exciting new products of the year will be the Austlen stroller. The brainchild of a former Dell product designer, the stroller is the result of a mom of twins not being satisfied with the stroller options available to her. The stroller frame actually telescopes to transform from a single stroller to a double. But if you're not quite ready for a double stroller, don't fret. The expansion can also be used to transport things like laundry, sports equipment, camping gear, or more because the stroller holds up to 150 pounds! The stroller will be available in early 2016 and will retail for $850.

The most luxurious Pack 'n Play to date, the Everest ($319) has an updated frame.

Also pretty cool — the plush bassinet that can be used in the Pack 'n Play and on its own.

For 2016, Mamas & Papas is giving its bestselling stroller, the Armadillo Flip XT ($700), a facelift with luxe tweed fabrics.

If you've ever used your trusty muslin blanket to drape over a car seat or double as a nursing cover, you've probably struggled with keeping it in place.

The Babyhome Vida Plus ($479) is a full-size stroller that converts into a lightweight version. The frame comes with a bassinet kit, but simply snap in a Vida fabric kit and the seat transform into a lightweight push-chair. The stroller will be available in March 2016.

Gray seems to be the official color for baby gear come 2016, and the stroller muffs, car seat covers, and diaper bags are no exception at 7 A.M. Enfant.

These PacaPod Diaper Bags ($140-$565) are an organized mom's dream. Each bag comes with two "packs" — one insulated for bottles and food, and one with pockets and accessories for diaper changes — that can be removed from the bag as needed.

This new, ultradurable play mat ($90) from Prince Lionheart is sure to capture any child's imagination with the intricately designed city streetscape on one side and a detailed zoo scene on the other.

If you ever rocked a newborn to sleep in your arms only to have them instantly wail the minute they're set down in their crib, the Sleeper ($149) from Puckababy might be worth considering. The concept seems a bit bizarre — once your baby is zipped inside the flat-bottomed blanket-like carrier, the parent just grabs the handles with one hand and starts rocking — but it's meant to more easily put babies to sleep. Once they drift off, simply set the sleeper in the crib or in bed for safer cosleeping.

With Oeuf now venturing into nursery decor, the company hit a high note with its animal rugs ($440) that, thanks to a loop closure, can double as tapestries.

When 4moms introduces a new product, you know it is going to feature improvements on a common household item. For its new high chair, which will hit stores in early 2016, the company is rethinking the tray that is the bane of parents' existence. The 4moms tray is actually magnetic. Hover it over the seat and it locks into place. Place the included bowl — or one of the plates you buy separately — on top of the tray and it stays in place thanks to magnetic bottoms of the accessories. Pure genius!

Peg Perego will introduce a side-by-side double stroller, the Pliko Mini Twin ($400), by the end of this year.

The same technology that has gone into Belly Armor's apparel line for pregnant women wanting to protect their unborn baby from radiation is now being used to help even longer. These tiny hats ($19) are especially important at blocking potentially harmful radiation from reaching a baby's developing brain.

Plus, when used on a stroller as part of a travel system, the car seat can actually recline.

An ingenious invention, the PullyPalz pacifier holder ($25) keeps every shape of pacifier in view and reach of baby and can be attached to baby carriers, bouncers, and strollers. No more desperately searching for that binky!
