Sep 1 2016 - 11:47am

With back-to-school season nearly behind us, it's the perfect time to sit back, relax, and enjoy this well-deserved break from our favorite little ones. Or . . . it's time to go shopping! However you prefer to unwind, we're certain these dozen-odd products — from multipurpose tricycles to the cutest darn headphones (for you!) — will tempt even the most put-together families. So do yourself a favor and spend the start of Fall filling your home with these mom-approved items.

5-in-1 SmarTrike Dazzle

"Think a 10-month-old baby is too young for a bike? Not so, say the makers of the original SmarTrike. Their latest offering, a 5-in-1 SmarTrike Dazzle [1] ($160), goes from stroller to tricycle in five seamless stages — from a padded, reclining seat pushed by parents to a pedaling bike with adult assistance to a full-blown three-wheeler, perfect for kids up to 3 years old. Finally, a ride my toddy can't wait to hop in on our daily walk to the park!" — Kate Schweitzer, senior editor, Moms

Toddler Asher V Unicorn Slip-Ons

"This pick is my monthly 'Do they make this in adult sizes?' find. Perfect for back to school — especially if your kiddo goes to a shoelaces-free school (yes, it's really a thing) — these Vans slip-ons [2] ($35) are totally going to be ready to go on both feet as you're scrambling for the door. Your child won't want to lose one of their shoes minutes before hopping on the bus if they look like this!" — Alessia Santoro, assistant editor, Moms

Ivviva "Back at It" Backpack

"This functional and trendy colorblock backpack [3] ($68) is a must-have back-to-school item for any kid. There are a ton of pockets, it has a breathable material so it can double as a sports bag, and the black-and-white worded lining, though mostly out of sight, is super cool." — AS

Milestone Baby's First Year Album

"OK, so everyone knows that unless you're the craftiest of mamas — and even then — creating a baby book of your baby's first year is often just a far-off idea you had when you were pregnant and getting more than four hours of sleep a night. This mostly blank first-year album [4] ($36) makes it easy to add in photos and keepsakes that you actually care about (rather than feeling bad that you left all of the prefilled pages blank because you were just a little busy to document your baby's first everything)." — AS

Rustic Marlin Growth Chart

"Love the idea of charting their growth, but a little too Type A to feel good putting hatch marks in your doorframe? Then there's no better reason to add a family growth chart to your home's decor! This customizable, handcrafted (in the United States!) growth chart from Rustic Marlin [5] ($150) is the perfect way to keep tabs on your rapidly rising kiddos. Add a name, special symbols, or a sweet 'Watch me grow!' phrase to make it your own." — KS

"We Got This, Baby!" Notepad

"For any stationery-loving pregnant or new moms who love to stay organized — or for the moms who need to start getting themselves together — this adorable notepad [6] ($15) has slots for doctor questions, scheduling, baby stats, and things to buy for baby." — AS

Minnie Mouse Crocheted Headphones

"Sometimes Mom deserves to feel like a kid, and there's really no better way than with these Late to the Revolution Minnie Mouse headphones [7] ($40), gorgeously crocheted for extra softness. And if that's not enough to convince you to wear them, they're available on a whimsical gift site owned by a fellow mom. Solidarity!" — KS

Cat & Jack "Yippie I'm Here" Onesie

"This sweet neon-lettered onesie [8] ($5) is the perfect way to announce your baby's arrival on social media or for their newborn photo shoot." — AS

FridaBaby Bitty Bundle of Joy

"Babies most definitely do not come with instruction manuals, but if they did, we imagine it'd look a little something like the brand-new FridaBaby gift set [9] ($50), which includes the cult-favorite NoseFrida along with a bundle of other essential tools for keeping newborns fuss-free." — KS

Britax Boulevard Clicktight Car Seat With Rebound Bar

"This new car seat with rebound bar [10] ($410) is changing the safety game for traveling in cars with little ones. The seat's anti-rebound bar limits seat movement during a collision, the ClickTight Installation System gives you a safe and easy installation every time, and the Click & Safe Snug Harness Indicator makes sure your child's strap is appropriately tightened each time you put them into the seat." — AS

Nook Sleep Systems Pebble Pouf

"When it comes to outfitting your child's nursery or play room, versatility is no doubt a top priority. You want pieces that will last over time and, ideally, serve more than one purpose. Enter: the Pebble Pouf [11] ($190), a completely washable organic ottoman that serves as an extra seat, a soft place for a newly standing baby to pull up, and a fun tabletop for play. Not only that, but it's stylish enough to work in any room of the house." — KS
