Product Reviews for All-Things Baby

These sites offer advice from seasoned parents on everything from kid books to the latest in baby feeding

Opinions matter.  Especially when it comes down to shelling out good money for a specific product that may (or may not) make your parenting life easier.  Wouldn’t it be nice it someone could test-drive all that baby, kid and home stuff and then let you know if it’s worth your dough?   Luckily there are a few good sites on the web that do the footwork (or stroller or bottle or toy or diaper bag work) for you.

Cool Mom Picks – This is the blue chip site of the bunch.  These savvy moms review one product a day and do it right.   Each item is thoroughly screened and tested, with not a single BPA-laden item in the mix.  The reviews are smart and concise, featuring just the right info so you can make an informed choice about whether you really need that colorful bracelet/teether.  (You do.)  Their reviews and suggestions are not limited to toys and baby slings but also feature items that are just for moms, such as clever jewelry and other stuff that makes you feel less like a too-tired mama and more like the cool chick that you’ll soon be again. 

Baby Gizmo – This is a straight-up, no-nonsense review site for anything (and I mean anything) that baby might need.  Product categories include baby gear (car seats, stroller, baby carriers, diaper bags), feeding (high chairs, boosters), bath and potty (you can probably figure that one out on your own), health and safety (monitors, gates, skin care and more), toys and gifts for all kid ages and much more.
