Easy Shopping for Babies

by Katie Wallace | Updated: August 1, 2017

Do you have a hard time leaving the house with the kids? It’s often challenging for me to run a quick errand or pick up a gift. Because of this, online shopping has become a big deal at our house. I can purchase exactly what I need without leaving my home. I can browse all the details of my purchases while baby naps in the next room. Additionally, many companies offer free shipping over a certain amount. The Baby Cubby is a unique resource that offers all these perks and more! I can easily shop for many of my favorite brands within a very user-friendly interface. You can even create a gift registry to share with your friends!

This post was sponsored by the Baby Cubby. All opinions are my own.

I received some store credit to try out The Baby Cubby. Incidentally, I had a hard time choosing from the many adorable items and brands. The Baby Cubby has categories for feeding, diapering and teething. Products include baby gear, wooden toys, and even baby and big kids’ clothes. I even found my favorite brands such as L’ovedbaby, the Tea Collection, and Lulu and Roo.

Simple Online Shopping Experience

Moreover, The Baby Cubby makes shopping for baby necessities easy for every parent who feels overwhelmed by all the options. The Baby Cubby team is passionate about encouraging, inspiring, and reminding parents how amazing they are and how important their role is.

Parents can easily browse the highest quality and safest baby gear through the Baby Cubby website. The Baby Cubby team tests strollers on the stroller track and actively engages with parents via social media and their community blogย to discuss some of those hard topics of parenting.

Gift Registry Suggestions

Registering for a baby can be overwhelming especially when you feel pressure to add anything and everything to your baby registry. It’s a bummer when your friends buy you something expensive on your registry, only for you to discover you should have done more research on functionality and quality before adding the item. The Baby Cubby has done a lot of the work for you by narrowing baby gear choices down to the highest rated brands and price matching even with Amazon! You also receive free shipping nationwide for orders over $49. Sounds good to me!

What makes Baby Cubby a unique shopping resource?

  • Daily price matching even with Amazon so you know you’re getting a great deal.
  • Baby Cubby carries only the best and safest gear so you can shop confidently.
  • The product selection is chosen through hundreds of hours research so you don’t have to.
  • Free Shipping everyday at BabyCubby.com over $49!

What’s your favorite thing about shopping for new baby gear? Is it finding adorable new outfits and coordinating accessories? Do you love decorating your nursery or picking out high quality wooden toys for your little one? The Baby Cubby has lots of baby products to choose from, you just may have a hard time choosing your favorite style!

My Shopping List

The Baby Cubby offers so many amazing finds and I finally settled on these basics for my kids.

Tea Collection Dresses

My girls love dressing up so I picked out some dresses from Tea Collection. These play dresses are a great investment; they hold up wonderfully throughout playtime and regular laundering. I especially love the ruffles, patterns and feminine details.

Baby Boy Gear

I also ordered a Jack & Winn hat for my son and a Hape Toys bamboo race car. What little guy wouldn’t love this e-Drifter? My little man is all about cars and trucks and balls; anything he can throw or push. This classic bamboo toy looks like it will hold up for awhile and it doesn’t have any batteries that we will need to replace.

I’m also training my little guy to wear a hat especially in the sun. I love this dapper Jack & Winn toddler boy hat with its soft suede bill and subtle Houndstooth pattern. It fits my 2-year-old well and it’s adjustable so he can wear it for a long time.

Designer Diaper Bags

I also selected a gorgeous Petunia Pickle Bottom waterproof tote bag for toting all my kids’ things around. Petunia Pickle Bottom has been one of my favorite diaper bag brands since I had baby #1. Their bags are so well made and feature durable hardware and coated canvas-like material that is wipable and moisture resistant. I love all of Petunia Pickle Bottom’s modern prints and styles; this bag will easily last years and doubles as a diaper bag and beach bag long past the diapering years! The Baby Cubby has lots of diaper bags in stock and something for every style, color preference and storage need.

What will you find at the Baby Cubby? I love that they only stock items that have been through their quality evaluations. For new moms, a trusted baby gear resource is so valuable and saves a ton of time when choosing from the many options available. The Baby Cubby makes it easy to shop for strollers, car seats, feeding essentials, and even fun basics like kids’ clothing and accessories. I’d definitely recommend using the Baby Cubby shopping resource to find your top baby gear picks for your family!

The bag is my favorite! I love the pattern and it’s so big you can’t fit in so many things! I had never heardof The Baby Cubby. It will be quite useful when I start having babies (not that it’s gonna happen anytime soon though ahah)

๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Tower Bridge ended up being such a memorable stop! The walkways offer amazing views of the River Thames and the city skyline.

โœจ Fun facts:

Tower Bridge opened in 1894 after eight years of construction.

Itโ€™s a bascule bridge, meaning the roadway lifts up for tall ships to pass through.

The glass floor walkways were added in 2014, giving visitors a thrilling (and slightly scary!) perspective from 138 feet above the Thames.

Our kids loved learning how the bridge lifts up using giant counterweights, and we all left with a new appreciation for Londonโ€™s engineering and history. ๐Ÿ’™

Would you be brave enough to walk across the glass floor? ๐Ÿ˜„

Spend more time in each place you visit and live like a local, instead of just passing through.

Weโ€™ve loved discovering ways to travel that feel authentic and affordable! 

๐Ÿ  HomeExchange lets you stay in real homes that are comfy, family-friendly, and full of character. With a unique points system, you can travel flexibly โ€” like we do all around the world! Use your points to stay in memorable homes, or exchange your home directly. Weโ€™ve done both and made some unforgettable memories along the way!

๐Ÿฑ Trusted Housesitters is another great housing resource. These arranged stays typically include caring for someoneโ€™s pets, while staying at their house. Weโ€™ve stayed in many beautiful homes in exchange for petsitting dogs, cats, and chickens!

๐ŸŒ Servas allows travelers to connect with hosts all around the world. Weโ€™ve stayed in a familyโ€™s extra bedrooms or living space and enjoyed a homecooked meal, while learning about local culture. Servas hosts typically love meeting new people and hearing their stories! ๐Ÿ’› Itโ€™s only tricky if you donโ€™t speak the same language! ๐Ÿ˜† 

Slow travel gives kids time to explore, play, and feel at home wherever we land โ€” and gives us parents a chance to catch our breath between adventures.

Secrets revealed ๐ŸŒ for family travel & worldsch Secrets revealed ๐ŸŒ for family travel & worldschooling!

These tips make traveling with kids ALOT easier!

๐Ÿ“š Schoolwork: Our kids complete lessons in their workbooks several times a week. While traveling, we often bring along Math-U-See workbooks, language arts, and spelling. This keeps our kids moving forward and feeling productive. 

๐Ÿฐ Field trips: We go on excursions to amazing castles, fascinating museums, and interesting cultural centers. We talk about geography and science as we explore amazing places!

๐ŸŽง Downtime: We often have rest time while traveling. We read books or listen to audio books and music. ย 

๐Ÿ’ถ Allowance: We give our kids weekly spending money. They can earn this by doing chores at our Airbnb. I also pay our kids to participate in family photos, often $5 each per city! This results in great attitudes when taking photos in Paris, Rome, or London. ๐Ÿ“ธ๐Ÿ˜€

With these tips, our travel life easily becomes regular life, and we get to see amazing destinations and make memories together!
