Babylist Parents’ Most Loved Baby Products of 2026
☑️ Over 10K (!) votes are in—check out the gear Babylist parents can’t live without.

In This Article
There’s a steep learning curve when you become a new parent, especially when it comes to the ins and outs of baby gear. But do you want in on a secret? The best way to learn about what you and your baby may love (or not) is from experienced parents who have already tried all the things—so you don’t have to.
That’s why we created Babylist’s annual Most Loved Baby Products survey. It’s our chance to hear from the real experts in baby gear: you.
We surveyed Babylist families and asked you to tell us about the baby products you love and why. And wow, did you deliver. This year, we heard from nearly 11,000 Babylist parents.
🚘 You told us about the gear you’re happy you added to your baby registry (strollers and car seats top the list), 💤 the items you absolutely cannot live without (the UPPAbaby Vista stroller, the Graco Pack ‘n Play, Newton’s crib mattress), 🍼 and even a few things you wished you had skipped (bottle warmers + footies that snap instead of zip 😳).
🆕 You shared some newer brands you’re loving—Joie, Momcozy and Wildbird, to name a few—and a whole new product category you can’t get enough of: bottle washers.
💻 You told us how you research baby gear: product guides like Wirecutter and Babylist (aw, thanks!), reviews on retail sites and by asking friends and family for their real-life recommendations (those influenced you the most, you said).
📈 And you helped us identify some growing trends. Turns out you’re split right down the middle on the plastic versus glass bottles debate (almost exactly 50/50!) and on whether you prefer WiFi or traditional baby monitors. And you value safety over any other feature when shopping for a car seat, breathability in a crib mattress and ergonomics in a high chair.
Since you took the time to share, we’re doing the same; we organized all the info into a category-by-category breakdown so you can dive in and discover some new favorites.
These are Babylist Parents’ most loved baby products of 2025. (Pssst... we are in the process of updating this guide for 2026 right now!)
Strollers
A stroller is one of the most popular—and most utilized—baby products that most parents own. Three brands rose to the top this year: UPPAbaby, Nuna and Graco. Parents prioritized must-have stroller features like suspension and maneuverability, easy fold, basket size, durability, car seat compatibility and the ability to hold more than one child.

Travel and Jogging Strollers
You definitely don’t need more than one stroller—but many parents discover that having a second (or even a third 😬) can be super useful for specific situations like travel or exercise. The travel strollers you rave about have two things in common: they’re lightweight and fold up small. Parents love them for being on the go, but some told us they use them for everyday, too. As for jogging strollers, it’s all about great suspension for handling bumps, trails and everything in between.

Stroller Wagons
You probably won’t need a stroller wagon right away, but lots of parents find them incredibly useful as their kids grow, especially with more than one in tow. They also make a great option for a group gift.

Delta Children

Radio Flyer

Car Seats
Picking a car seat is no small task; in fact, parents we surveyed ranked it as the most-researched baby item. Many families register for an infant car seat first, but a growing number are also adding a convertible seat to their list from the start. (While both types can be used from birth, most babies outgrow their infant seat around the one-year mark—or when carrying it starts to feel like a full-body workout.) Adding a convertible seat to your registry early can make the transition smoother when that time comes.
Your top picks focused on the features that matter most: safety, thoughtful design and easy installation. Rotating car seats continue to rise in popularity, with two models earning spots on this year’s favorites list.

Crib Mattresses
Crib mattresses that score high on breathability stood out to Babylist parents, so it’s no surprise that Newton has remained a top pick year after year. Many parents also told us they prioritize organic materials, low chemical emissions and certifications like GREENGUARD Gold when choosing a mattress for their baby.

Feeding
Feeding a baby requires a lot of gear: bottles, high chairs, breast pumps and more. This year’s top picks highlight the variety parents love, from classic choices to more traditional—and sometimes a little bit of both. (Half of the parents we surveyed said they prefer glass bottles, while the other half prefer plastic.) Tech-forward products like formula makers and wearable breast pumps also made an appearance.
