The New York Baby Show

Who knew there was a baby show in New York? On Sunday we headed down to Pier 92 to investigate. The show featured a number of speakers, classes, stroller cleaning and tune-ups, a stroller test drive area, Clifford the Big Red Dog, a toddler play area (with toys provided by Tinker Tree, www.underthetinkertree.com) and lots of exhibitors with great new products.

The 2013 Baby Show will be held at Pier 92 on May 18 and 19.

Below I have listed a few of my favorite exhibitors and products:

Stroller Spa - http://www.strollerspa.com/.  Provides stroller cleaning, tune-ups and repairs, as well as stroller rentals.  After the free cleaning and tune-up at the Baby Show, it feels like a new stroller!

Wexy - http://www.wexybags.com/ - Monster snack bags that are biodegradable, BPA free, and made in the USA. Check them out on Amazon.

Sensible Sitters - http://www.sensiblesitters.com/ - Provides babysitting services. Locations include New York, Brooklyn, Hamptons, Los Angeles, Palm Beach, San Francisco, and Atlanta.

Bitsy's Brainfood - http://www.bitsysbrainfood.com/ - Alphabet snack crackers packed with nutrients. They come in four flavors - Lemon Broccoli, Sweet Potato Oatmeal Raisin, Orange Chocolate Beet, and Zucchini Gingerbread Carrot. They are a great source of Omega-3 DHA, Vitamin A, Folic Acid, Calcium, and Iron. The company also has an interactive website for kids. These were a big hit in my house!

NurturMe - http://www.nurturme.com/ - Packaged organic fruits and vegetables for infants and toddlers. Available in six flavors: crisp apple, scrumptious squash, hearty sweet potatoes, sweet bananas, plump peas, and crunchy carrots. These can be added to milk or water to introduce fruit and vegetables to your infant, or added to other foods to add a nutritional boost for a toddler.
