Gizmos To Help Parents Of Babies And Tots
Baby Gizmo's Suggests Several,
On CBS News The Saturday Early Show
With so many gadgets out there designed to help folks care for the little ones, it's tough to know which really do the job. Which are the must-haves? The should-haves?

Video Monitor
Video monitors even have night vision! They enable you to peek in on your sleeping baby without a squeaky door giving you away; they enable you to determine that the crying you hear is due to tantrum and not injury and, with the magic of mute, they can actually help you get a better night's sleep while still monitoring your baby.

Baby Care Timer
It's ironic that, at the very time new parents are given a tiny newborn to care for, they're the most sleep-deprived they've ever been. The new parent-invented ItzBeen Baby Care Timer is the answer to our "We're so tired, we're hallucinating" prayers.

Soft, Waterproof Blanket
Everyone knows about the need for dozens of baby blankets. And waterproof, outdoor play mats are essential for springtime outings. But it took the genius of a mom to combine the two and give us a blanket that's soft and snuggly on one sidem, but completely water-repellant on the other.

Formula Dispenser
Why moms still travel with full cans of formula in their diaper bag is beyond me. Perhaps because the alternatives are lacking. Individual-serve packages are very expensive, and the traditional round formula containers only hold three servings, and leak.
The Innobaby Packin' Smart is an ingenious answer to a diaper bag full of Ziploc bags. Sleek, modern and space-saving, the Packing' Smart has five separate compartments. ($20)

Shopping Cart Cover
An oft-neglected purchase, as soon as baby can sit up, this is a MUST HAVE. Shopping carts are veritable germ breeding grounds, and most babies don't just touch the handle in front of them, they suck it clean (well, not clean…!). In the past, only really bulky, garish options were available, but shopping cart covers have evolved and now fold compactly for easy travel and include dozens of gorgeous patterns and fabrics, from Hawaiian prints to "minky."

Travel High Chair
When you leave the house with baby (which these days, is quite often!), you can't always count on a clean or safe high chair. Many restaurant chairs have broken straps and are rarely cleaned. I leave nothing to chance and bring my travel high chair with me everywhere: to restaurants, Grandma's, friends' houses, etc. Most travel high chairs can be used from the time a baby can sit up right through the booster years.
