Every parent has a favourite piece of baby equipment or toy that their child loved. For me it was a Fisher Price Stand’n Ride Duo stroller. My two youngest children both have a muscle disorder that makes it hard for them to walk for long distances. When Griffin was a baby, Avery was nearly 5 and too old to be riding in a double stroller, but not able to walk very far either. The Stand’n Ride gave her a chance to grab a ride when she needed one without feeling like a baby. If I was out with just one child, I could make a couple of quick adjustments and have a single stroller with a huge storage basket in back. It was perfect for shopping trips!

Fisher-Price has identified twelve items that have made moms’ “must-have” lists over the year. The list includes:

1. Ocean Wonders Aquarium
2. My Little Snugabunny Cradle N Swing
3. Infant to Toddler Rocker
4. SpaceSaver High Chair
5. Discover’n Grow Jumperoo
6. Brilliant Basics Rock a Stack
7. Laugh & Learn Love to Play Puppy
8. Laugh & Learn Say Please Tea Set
9. Laugh & Learn Click ‘n Learn Remote
10. Brilliant Basics Stroll-Along Walker
11. Little People Wheelies Stand ‘ n Play Rampway
12. Little People Animal Sounds Farm

There are many items on this list that I would agree are definite “must haves”.

The My Little Snugabunny Cradle N Swing is not only adorable, but also very functional. I love that it has different options for swinging, so there will be a setting that works for every baby. The attached mobile and mirror keep baby entertained and engaged, and the music/sound options will calm the baby. This is something that every new Mom needs! I recently gave one to my Sister-in-law who is expecting a baby, and she has it all set up and ready for her new little bundle.

The Little People Animal Sounds Farm is still loved in my home, even though my kids are probably past the age that it is geared towards. All of the Little People toys have proven popular with my children, but the Animal Sounds Farm is particularly fun because of the animals and the sounds that it makes. The kids really love the farmer and his animals, and I love watching their imaginations at work while they play with him. Our farm is particularly interesting because some of the Little People Zoo animals moved into the farm. I bet you’ve never seen a giraffe in a farmer’s barn before!
