All Scoops by Anne Chertoff in Every City

He’s thinking beyond the diaper bag: the Jonathan Adler spring 2012 collection includes the Matchy Matchy memory game ($14) and a cool growth chart ($12). 

The ends of the Cameo by RUX wooden rattles are hand-carved to match the contours of mom's and dad's faces. (One parent's profile is on one end, the other parent's profile on the other end.) And the baby's name is carved into the handle. Too cute. $180 at cameobyrux.com.

We were psyched to discover Finn + Emma at ENK last week—a great collection of organic clothing ($20 to $45), accessories, bedding, and toys in baby-chic patterns. (Kinda like DwellStudio meets Tea Collection, only 100 percent organic.) We wouldn't mind having their new wooden play gym ($135; shipping October 15) in our living room, either.

Buggyguard's B-Hook not only makes it easy to hang your diaper bag from the stroller, but it also locks that diaper bag into place—so no one can snatch it while you're otherwise engaged at the playground. $11.95 at buggyguard.com.

Lulalu 360° Click Clips work in lieu of magnets, if you want to display works of toddler art (or grocery lists) on stainless steel, glass, tile, and other smooth, non-magnetic surfaces. They come in a bunch of cute colors, too. $5 each at jasperandblack.com.

Boon’s new Wrap protective cover will baby proof just about any bowl. Plus it suctions to the table, giving you a nice break from the usual throwing and banging. Pre-order for $10.99 at amazon.com.

The UK's popular "Go Anywhere" booster seat is now available in the US as the Polar On the Go booster seat—weighing 1.5 pounds and easily folded into a portable little configuration. Opened, it's got a five-point restraint harness and three sets of straps for attaching to a chair. It'll handle a kid who weighs up to 40 pounds, and is $39.99 at buybuybaby.com.

The sweet (and sophisticated, in a baby-and-toddler kind of way) fall/winter collection from new line Mabo includes a tweed jumper ($65) and skirt ($45), streamlined drawstring pants ($35), and the best “Elf” hat ($20) we’ve ever seen. mabokids.com

 

The folks at blindmice socks get that toddlers like choices; they sell their adorable socks in complementary sets of three or five—where no two are an exact match. $9.50 for three or $14.50 for five, at blindmicesocks.com.

The Laundress, a fancy-cool detergent company with a serious cult following, has just come out with a line of products for J.Crew—including the Crewcuts Stain Bar, a nontoxic, biodegradable, dye- and allergen-free way to keep kids' clothes spotless. $7 at jcrew.com.

The new L.A.-based line ever/after offers simple, soft, streamlined cotton tees, leggings, and yoga pants for boys and girls aged newborn to 4 ($18 to $36). Bonus: 25 percent of profits go to the charity you choose.

The household tool design geniuses at OXO just launched a baby line. Mod pieces include everything from BPA- and phthalate-free sippy cups ($7.99) and food freezer trays ($4.99) to an adorable mini dust pan and brush set ($5.99). One note: Dr. Brown’s users may not have much luck with the bottle rack or dishwasher baskets. Available at oxotot.com.

Pampers made a lot of enemies when they rolled out their new Dry Fit diapers earlier this year, so it will be interesting to see how the mom community reacts to the new Cynthia Rowley Pampers, which come in 11 patterns including stripes, ruffles, and madras (pictured—don't miss the tiny back pocket on the tush). Available mid-July at Target.

Any City, USA. Renowned ballet shoe manufacturer Bloch has introduced a line of pre-walkers for babies. Baby Blochs are super-soft, expertly crafted, and come in a range of fabrics from buttery soft leather to tweed. Absolutely adorable. There's a great selection available at orfeodesign.com.

Any City, USA. Dwell Studio's new crib set patterns ("organic poppy," "owls," "paper dolls," and "sparrow") are their best yet. Just so darn cute. From $330 to $450 at dwellshop.com.

Any City, USA. If you're not obsessed with Aden + Anais' muslin swaddling blankets, it's probably because you've never tried one. In any case, the Australian brand has just launched a line of quilted crib blankets, made from the same gauzy muslin cotton. The Muslin Dream Blankets are $59.95 at adenandanais.com.
