Our trusted (and hilarious) Gear Guy, Jamie Grayson (a.k.a. The Baby Guy NYC), weighs in on four new products we think you’ll love: a revolutionary double stroller,a new line of gas-preventing bottles, a cool on-the-go potty, and a fantastic portable high-chair.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the first annual Cribsie Awards, the definitive baby industry awards, recognizing the best brands, products, services, and websites for babes and tots. Nominations are now open: just fill out the fun, simple (and secure) form to nominate your favorite brands—anything from diapers to mom blogs. We know y’all have some strong opinions; now’s your chance to make them count.

It’s that time of year again—when booze and presents (er, egg nog and time with family) becomes way more tempting than seeking out cool new finds for babies and tots. So we’re signing off to celebrate the holidays. Warmest wishes to all . . . we’ll see you in January!

On the first day of Christmas
my true love sent to me
A baby in a Puj Tub

On the second day of Christmas
my true love sent to me
Two muslin blankies,
And a baby in a Puj Tub

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Or so the song goes. To give the lyric a little street-cred, we asked the trusted StrollerTraffic Expert Panel for tips on what we can all do to get ourselves—and our tots—through the holidays safely, peacefully, joyfully, and in style. Gear Guy Jamie Grayson (a.k.a. The Baby Guy) can tell you exactly what to pack when schlepping infants and toddlers. Here are his top five travel essentials.
