As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

With a new baby on the way, it can feel overwhelming when you turn to friends and family and ask them plainly, "What should we get?" There are the basics everyone will suggest you buy — a crib, changing pad, diapers — and then there's the other stuff . . . the cutting edge, tech-first, family favourites that make life just a little bit easier. So whether you're looking for a new baby monitor or a twist on a bassinet, here is the best baby gear for the year.

Baby Bjorn Bouncer Balance Soft 

The Baby Bjorn Bouncer Balance Soft ($198) is a family favorite for a number of reasons. Its ergonomic design means baby's hips are always in the correct place, and it has three angles so baby can be near-flat against the ground or up at an angle to watch and see what their parents are doing.
