Usher In Spring With Our Must Haves For March

Personalized baby blankets are an all-time favorite baby gift, but in the end, they're just blanketa with your little one's name embroidered on them — unless they're Swell Forever's Forever Blanket (starting at $65). Each Forever Blanket — which is handmade in Atlanta — comes with a personalized message tag that turns the blanket into an heirloom. The tags, which can be personalized with a note to the baby, a quote, or a poem, is sure to be cherished for years to come.

I was impressed by Mission Critical from the moment I spotted them at ABC Kids Expo last Fall — I couldn't wait for the company to start producing their impressive diaper bags and baby carrier. Designed by an uncle who wanted to make more dad-friendly gear, all of Mission Critical's pieces use a MOLLE system (like military gear), so you can hook things on them for easy access (e.g., water bottles, pacifiers, hand sanitizer, etc.). My favorite piece in the collection is the Messenger Diaper Bag ($165). Not only is it roomy and full of great pockets (including a padded section that is great for computers/tablets), it can be accessed from above, as well as the traditional way, because sometimes you need to access things faster!

Getting kids to eat isn't easy. But for some reason, when the same food they turn their noses up to is presented in a different way, they gobble it up. That's the theory behind FunBites Shaped Food Cutters ($10 each). The Shark Tank-backed gizmo comes in three shapes — squares, hearts, and triangles — and is beyond easy to use! Trust us, this little tool is going to save you hours of arguing with your kids!

Fans of Babiators no longer have to mourn their kids aging out of the awesomely durable stretchy sunnies. The brand's just introduced their Aces shades for kids ages 7 to 14 ($30).

Cutest. Undies. Ever. Zoocchini's supersoft organic cotton underwear ($16-$26) for kids ages 2 to 6 features fun, bright colors, and internationally inspired animal graphics. Choose from three-packs of boys boxers or girls panties, or two-piece matching top-and-bottom sets for little girls.

J.Crew has teamed up with LA-based Richer Poorer for a capsule collection of unisex, vintage-inspired socks ($8 per pair) in two fun patterns and a playful stripe.

Whether your preschooler is learning to tell time, or mom and dad need a reliable timepiece in baby's nursery, there's a Modern Moose clock ($40-$44) for every kind of kids room. Each clock is laser-cut from sustainably harvested Baltic birch plywood in Massachusetts.

This limited-edition collection for Gymboree features 17 sweet pieces for newborns, all of which incorporate the beloved Eric Carle's colorful illustrations and range in price from $10 to $37. The perfect baby shower gift for the tiniest new caterpillars in your life.

If you've ever put on a Sesame Street YouTube video only to have your tot then click on another one and be shocked by what you hear, those days are now over. YouTube Kids (free) filters out all of the user-generated videos that contain some questionable content, providing kids with a safe viewing environment filled with Sesame Street, Thomas & Friends, Mother Goose Club, and more. Even better is the timer parents can set to limit how long kids are using the app.
