Becoming a first-time parent is an overwhelming prospect on its own. But when combined with having to sort through thousands of options for nursery products that all claim to be the best, anxiety levels really start to skyrocket. It also doesn’t help that there’s a seemingly unending supply of baby products that are well-designed and impossibly stylish (think chic mid-century modern cribs, hip cactus-printed swaddling blankets, and sleep soothers fashioned to look like characters out of your favorite Japanime). And with the royal baby coming, we can’t help wondering what are Harry and Meghan putting on their baby registry / being gifted from Jay Z and Beyonce? But despite the obvious aesthetic appeal of all these adorable baby things and endless news coverage that will be sure to focus details down to the royal baby’s diaper pail, you still can’t help but ask yourself: Is this the absolute best crib/swaddle/bassinet/high chair for my kid?
For answers to these questions we turned to the product sage that is Amazon. (Thousands of other parents must know, right?) Whether you’re shopping for an upcoming addition to your family or trying to find the perfect shower gift, here are some of the best and most sought after baby products on Amazon.

This ain’t one of those playpens you used to jump around in. This portable playard comes with a “Dream Center” bassinet and elevated changing table, so that your baby can transition from tummy time to nap time (and be changed easily!) wherever your adventures take you. Parents especially like the “Dream Center” because it’s lined with comfy plush fabric and has a slight incline to ensure the baby’s head stays elevated. And because accidents happen, all of the fabric pieces are machine-washable and easily zip off so you can chuck them in the washing machine whenever needed.Buy Now

Minimal and compact, the makers of this “Nook” high chair understand that having two free hands is a rarity as a new parent. People love this high chair because it has a large swing-open tray that operates with a one-hand motion. Simply move the tray aside, unbuckle your baby and clean up the dishes and errant Cheerios later. The chair folds up and stashes easily in a closet, making it perfect for condo and apartment living, as well as travel and picnics.Buy Now

Named one of the best baby monitors by the likes of “The Bump” and “Techradar,” this high-tech monitor is the first of its kind with an interchangeable optical lens. This means you can customize the focal length and viewing angle based on the environment. Parents also love this one because it’s a self-contained unit and does not require WiFi. Instead, it communicates directly from the camera to the monitor (because keeping tabs on your baby is stressful enough without having to worry about an internet connection).Buy Now

You may may remember the Diaper Genie from that episode of “Sex and the City,” but it’s actually this similar model by Ubbi that’s the bestseller on Amazon. What sets it apart from the competition is the fact that it doesn’t require any special bags, refills, or inserts (a huge perk for busy new parents who can’t easily run out to the store to buy a branded diaper pail product). Parents also like the inner pail because it’s stainless steel and does a good job of locking out odor, which is crucial.Buy Now
