The Best New Gadgets Every Parent Should Know About

You've never seen a temperature tracker like this. TempTraq, a digital thermometer, looks and feels like a sticky patch but has the power to do many things: sense and record temperature, and send that data to an app that you can share with your kid's doctor. It's meant for single-use only. Buy TempTraq now for $25.

The Paxie kids wearable does so much, it's hard to keep count. Working with an app, the new device tracks location as well as surrounding temperature, heart rate, and fitness stats. It also pings you if your child goes past the boundary you've set. The band requires two hands to remove, so kids can't take it off themselves. Preorder for $175 has already sold out, but you can sign up to be notified when it's available again.

A "smart bottle" might sound ridiculous until you hear everything it can do. Baby Glgl monitors how much, how fast, and when baby is drinking so you can keep a solid feeding schedule. Access the data from an app, plus get alerts like if the bottle is clogged up as well as suggestions on how to angle the bottle so baby doesn't swallow air. Baby Glgl should go on sale by end of the year and cost around $100.

You may already be familiar with the MamaRoo infant seat, but its new feature is about to become your lifesaver. Not only does the chair bounce up and down and sway side to side as if you were carrying the baby, but you can now control five motions and five speeds with your phone through an app. You can also use the app to play sound from the seat's built-in speakers. Buy it now starting at $240.

Billed as the world's first smart pacifier, Pacif-i monitors baby’s temperature and sends results to an app. There's also a built-in sensor that tracks location and alerts you if the little one has gone past the distance you've set. You can even add medication details into the app like type and dosage so you don't forget. Preorder it now for $39, and expect it to ship before the end of this year.

These watches sure are cute. But they also serve as a GPS tracker for kids ages 3 and up. Called HereO, the gadget syncs with a location app that the whole family can use to share whereabouts. It also comes with other security-focused features, like a panic mode that immediately sends an alert to parents. Preorder it now for $179 and it will ship in October.
