GEAR FOR PLAY

Gear for playtime with baby! Learn what baby play gear is truly useful, what the top products are, and find those unique baby gifts.

The quality of some products really stands out above the rest. When selecting baby gear to buy, consult the guidelines recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Also, consumerreports.org does test and rate baby products like car seats.

Be sure to check for the latest recall information from the Consumer Product and Saftey Commission. This is especially important if purchasing products that haven't been sold in stores for a while, such as when buying new or previously owned products from Ebay.
