Baby Product Trends You’ll See in 2023
If you’ve recently welcomed an addition to the family or are expecting one in 2023, you surely want to learn a little bit more about the baby products that are popular on the market. No matter if you’re getting them for your own family or a friend or relative, it’s always good to be in touch with the trends. Here are some that are dominating the market right now.
Clothes will make a statement but be comfortable
For starters, there are trends concerning baby clothes. Apparel is largely influenced by social media and parents want their little ones to look trendy. Another necessity is comfort. Fortunately, there are many options that meet both of these conditions. For one, there are printed tees that can really make a statement. These include various phrases and patterns that can be seen on the clothes and give the kid a little more attitude. When it comes to comfort, woven pieces can be very comfortable and stylish. Plus, they can be combined with other pieces, such as denim shorts with a cropped or oversized woven shirt.
More dangerous sleep products should be removed from the market
Unfortunately, there are still many baby products that can be dangerous for the little one. There is an effort to remove these from the market and make babies safer. For instance, in 2022, padded crib bumpers as well as inclined sleep products were banned from being made and sold in the United States. Furthermore, certain rocking play sleepers were recalled due to deaths associated with them. With that in mind, it’s good to make sure a particular item is approved and safe for use.
Brand loyalty might waver
It’s not uncommon for parents to find a brand that suits their baby and stick to it. Whether it’s a good diaper or a soothing formula, parents sometimes don’t want to look anywhere else. However, this brand loyalty might waver in 2023. In order to save money in this economy where all the prices are going up, people are opting for cheaper alternatives for products like food, wipes, and diapers. Store brands are on the rise as they offer the best value for money and generic doesn’t always mean bad. There was also a shortage of certain products for a while, which is why some alternatives that might have not been household names have become some people’s go-to.
Having keepsakes is more popular than ever
Pregnancy keepsakes are not a new phenomenon. People have been saving their pregnancy test or first ultrasound for ages. However, there are many other forms of treasured pregnancy keepsakes that individuals opt for. For example, they can now get 3D and 4D ultrasound scans that make the baby look much more realistic. Moreover, there are pregnancy belly casts, heartbeat teddy bears, and various other mementos that parents-to-be can choose to preserve.
An increasing number of wearable breast pumps will be available
More and more nursing parents are getting breast pumps that ensure they don’t have to be next to the little one 24/7 in case they need to eat. With that in mind, it’s good to know that there are more breast pump alternatives than ever before. What is more, these are wireless aka hands-free, discrete, and portable, which means that pumping will be more convenient.
The need for rotating car seats is noticed
If you’re a new parent, you’ve surely noticed that putting a baby into the car seat can be very tricky. The angles are awkward and securing everything into place can take a while. Luckily, manufacturers have noticed this and started working on a solution. A rotating or swivel car seat spins on its base, thus allowing the adult to buckle in the little one much easier.
High chairs will grow with the little ones
High chairs are an essential piece of baby gear and even though they might not be used for too long, they should still be a quality item that will last. In that case, a good idea is a chair that will grow with the baby. Some can be used as a high chair and serve as a booster for a regular chair when the parents want the little one to sit at the table.
These are just some of the 2023 trends that you should stay on top of. See what would make your or your loved one’s life easier and try to implement it.
