22 Smart Baby Gadgets to Make Parenting Easier

babyproducts

As a parent and baby wrangler, there are days when you just “can’t even” but then you do it anyway because there are no sick days, no vacation, no coffee breaks (unless you enjoy coffee that you brew yourself before getting caught up in a diaper disaster, then try to reheat in the microwave, then forget about, then give up and drink cold). Taking care of a baby is rough stuff and any little thing on this earth to make it the tiniest bit easier is a miracle. Alas, here are 22 little miracles  of technology in the form of super smart baby gadgets you can get with Cash Back at Ebates.

Aquatopia™ Safety Bath Time Audible Thermometer and Alarm

Safety is always first when it comes to bath time. Be sure baby’s bath water is a safe temperature every time with this easy-to-read thermometer in a super cute turtle shape! The best part–the device beeps to let you know if the water gets too hot and measures every two seconds.

Milkscreen Alcohol Test Strips for Breastmilk

Moms, we get it. Sometimes you just need a cocktail. Leave your worries behind on Girls’ Night Out. You can rest assured that your Mother’s Milk is OK for baby consumption with these handy alcohol test strips. Get fast results so you can breast feed with peace of mind.

RaZbaby® Keep-it-Kleen Pacifier

Say goodbye to constantly rinsing off dirty, dingy chupies. This magical binky closes a protective shell around the nipple as soon as it is dropped. Now that’s one smart pacifier.

Boon ‘Glo’ Color Changing Night Light

Some toddlers are professional sleep fighters. Major FOMO is to blame for this. Little ones just don’t want to miss out on a single minute of play time. A super cool nightlight that they can play with while chilling out in bed will be sure to get those peepers closed for the night in no time.

Kiinde Breastfeeding Set

Even when breast feeding comes naturally to new moms, it is still a time-consuming and physically draining (pun intended) task. With this all-inclusive breast feeding set, you can pump, store and feed with the same pouches so you don’t lose a drop of that liquid gold.

Summer Infant Pacifier Thermometer

No baby wants to sit still while you attempt to take their temperature. They apparently didn’t get the memo that it’s kind of your job to know when they are getting sick. This is perhaps the easiest way to get those important digits without a wiggling fuss from your little sickie.

Motorola MBP853CONNECT Monitor

Keep an eye on your little bundle at all times and ease stress when transitioning baby into sleeping in another room.

Gro-Egg Room Thermometer

This nightlight and room thermometer in one will ensure your baby’s bedroom is always at a pleasant climate. After all, a too-hot or too-cold room will indeed result in a non-sleeping baby.

Cloud B Sleep Sheep

Soft and cuddly, this little sheep makes soothing bedtime noises that mimic mother’s heartbeat, spring showers, ocean waves and even whale songs!

Mimo™ Smart Baby Monitor

Moniter your baby’s sleep activity, breathing, body position and skin temperature with your smartphone or tablet. You’ll be notified of changes in your baby’s breathing and activity, including when they wake up or roll over. You’ll all be able to sleep a little easier.

Baby Einstein™ Sea Dreams Soother™

If over 25 minutes of soft music and lights won’t put Junior to bed, we don’t know what will. This little soother is one of the coolest nursery gadgets on the market, complete with a convenient remote control you can use from the other room.

Baby Brezza Formula Pro

Be sure to put this formula mixer on your must-have baby gear list. Easily measure and mix formula and water with a touch of a button because we all know how a few seconds seem to last a lifetime when your baby is screaming for a bottle.

Green Sprouts Water Bottle Cap Adapter

Formula + disposable water bottle + this bottle cap adapter = instant and easily formula for baby. Never scramble to wash a bottle again while you’re attempting to have a life outside the home with baby.

Boon Squirt Silicone Baby Food Dispensing Spoon

If you make your own baby food, this magic spoon is a must. Simply fill with your favorite puree and squeeze to feed baby on the go.

Blooming Baby Bath Mat

Protect baby from bumps and bruises during bath time in the kitchen sink with this soft and cozy bath pad. Rinse, wring and throw into the dryer once you’re done for super easy cleaning.

Baby Shusher

Shushing may seem like an easy task but try doing it for 15 minutes straight and you will find out what a tongue cramp feels like. This magic machine includes a timer and volume control to have your baby out like a light in no time.

BEABA Babycook Baby Food Maker

Steamer, blender, warmer and defroster, this miracle worker takes a ton of the cleanup out of making your own organic baby food!

Mixie Baby Formula Mixing Bottle

Preload this amazing baby bottle with formula and water in separate compartments then instantly mix with a press of a button when it’s feeding time.

Brica Baby In-Sight Mirror

Some babies love car rides while others use it as practice time to perfect their wail. Ease those fussy passengers with the LED lights and songs to keep them entertained or soothing noises to get them to sleep.

Cibo Reusable Food Catching Placemat

This food-catching feeding mat will save your floors and your sanity. Place it around your kid’s bowl or plate to ensure those clumsy crumbs will be expertly collected.

Vicks Starry Night Cool Mist Humidifer

Humidifier and nightlight in one? Yes, please! Keep little noses from getting clogged and get baby on the road to sleepy town all with one amazing gadget.

Munchkin Lulla-Vibe Vibrating Mattress Pad

Gentle vibrations often do the trick with fussy babies fighting sleep. Instead of using a bouncer or swing and then trying ever so gently to transfer baby into a crib, just slip the Lulla-Vibe under the crib mattress. Genius, right?

3. Neutral Accents

We all know the safest rule in home decor is to paint in neutrals and mix things up with colorful accents. But why not live dangerously? Paint with colors that make you giddy and keep the look grounded with creamy or nude furniture.

4. Monochrome Texture

Plaids, pinstripes, houndstooth. Little pops of these menswear prints can give any room in your house a nice little kick, especially when juxtaposing modern and classic styles. For instance, the retro vibe of a plaid chair and the contemporary geometric mirror make an interesting mix.

Decor on a Budget

Decor on a Budget 2

Redecorating your place, sprucing up your home, or moving are such expensive endeavors. Giving your place a new look could mean a few new pieces of a complete overhaul. A wardrobe can be updated on a pretty small budget thanks to Cash Back and great sales. Furniture and decor requires a bit more thought and money. After over a year in our apartment it almost seems like we are done filling it with the right furniture, art, and storage. Luckily Ebates has a lot of budget-friendly stores. Great deals+Cash Back has become our home decor mantra. Here are our five favorite store for decor and furniture that won’t break the bank:

Amazon’s MYHABIT

MYHABIT

While MYHABIT might be know for discounts on designer clothes and accessories, their Home and Decor section is chock full of great deals. We snagged some very soft sheets. We found 800+ thread count for the price of 300+ thread count sheets. They are a great value and they ship for free! Their linen offerings are excellent, but they also regularly have sales on kitchen tools and accessories, art, lighting, and even furniture. Their selection is constantly changing, so you might have to do a little planning and research to take advantage.

Pier 1

Pier 1

 

The Pier 1 aesthetic is not for everyone, but they have a huge selection of items that can add a certain flair to your space. They also have really excellent seasonal items at budget-friendly prices. We <3 a great holiday look to our place, but never want to break to bank and our DIY skills aren’t really up to snuff. Pier 1 has added some festive flair to our place on several occasions.

JCPenney

JCPenney

JCPenney was a great surprise for us. While we have always enjoyed their clothing and accessory options, they seem to have really stepped up their home options. They have great collaborators – from Martha Stewart to Jonathan Adler. Their offerings are budget friendly and design conscious. They have sales VERY regularly, which is fantastic. Right now they are offering 20-50% off select items. Don’t forget – you can always have things shipped to the store to save on shipping costs.

CB2

CB2

CB2 may cater to a younger crowd, but their modern, sleek pieces can easily compliment most design styles. Sometimes a simple piece is the perfect compliment to a more designed space. We snagged a a couple of chrome side tables for our living room at a great price. Shipping was not free, however, it was very reasonable. We also were able to snag some great items for our (mostly decorative) bar. We snagged some chic flutes for under$2 each. They also have a great selection of unique art and wall decor. Their offerings look like investment pieces but won’t cost you an arm and a leg.

Overstock.com

Overstock

We have blogged about our love of Overstock before, but we can’t resist including them on this list. The deals are INSANE. You can find the same things as Pottery Barn at a fraction of the price. We find ourselves looking at their offerings for fun. They have amazing designer inspired pieces at shocking discounts. Even better, their shipping, even on LARGE items is super reasonable. Maybe $6 or so. Their decor is not quite as interesting as the furniture options, but their electronics (hello, new vacuum) section also has impressive deals. Because the deals are so good we have found that a lot of the items sell out quickly, so don’t be scared to pull the trigger if you see something you love!
