All of the New Products For Your Kids That Will Make YOUR Summer Better
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.
Soak up those last few weeks of school, mamas, because before we know it we'll be entertaining our kids through the long days of Summer, dreaming of yellow school buses and packed lunches. However, we're here to help you prepare as best you can for the hot months with a bunch of new products that will make outdoor time more fun for your kiddos (and in turn, the days easier for you).
From a baby monitor that'll travel wherever your family goes this Summer to a couple pairs of functional shoes and outdoor toys, these are the things your family needs to make the hot months run smoothly. (Plus, be sure not to miss our Summer Rules checklist, which can be used to encourage kids to do their chores and personal tasks before using electronics.)
1 Freshly Picked The Mini Sole Mocassins
"We asked, Freshly Picked answered. Finally, after the world has fallen in love with the look of its classic mocs, FP released The Mini Sole Mocassins ($65), which have a rubber sole to provide more support to the bottom of an active kiddo's feet. As of now they come in gold, brown, gray, black, and pink, but here's hoping they release even more soon!" — Alessia Santoro, editor, Moms
2 Totokan Portable Baby Monitor
"Both portable and cordless, the Totokan Baby Monitor ($199, originally $249) is perfect for in-home use but also comes in clutch for when you're traveling. It works whether on WiFi or not and can also be brought outside as it's water-resistant and can sync up to 50 yards away from your router. Plus, all of the video, photos, and talk-balk happens right on your smartphone, so you don't need to carry around a second monitor." — AS
3 Merrell's Hydro 2.0 Sneaker Sandal
"Whether you're taking in the scenery while on a beautiful hike or you've splurged on family passes to the amusement park for the day, these Hydro 2.0 Sneaker Sandals ($40), transition nicely thanks to their lightweight and quick-dry technology." — Murphy Moroney, assistant editor, Moms
4 DockATot Deluxe+ Dock x Oh Joy!
"Those familiar with Oh Joy! know that the line boasts colorful and playful patterns, so its collab with DocATot is unsurprisingly superfun. The DockATot Deluxe+ Dock is available in two Oh Joy! patterns, Block Party ($200, pictured) and Petal Party ($200)." — AS
5 Yogibo Outdoor Zoola Pod Bean Bags
"These squishy yet durable Yogibo Zoola Pod Bean Bags ($150) take hanging out on the deck up a serious notch. Added bonus: you can pick from a handful of different colors and patterns." — MM
6 Ezpz Mini Bowl
"Ezpz, the brand that has revolutionized mealtimes with simple silicone food mats that are perfect for messy kids who may or may not to love throwing their bowls around, has branched out to give us even more options with the Mini Bowl ($17). It's available in seven colors, including a few muted ones like blush pink (pictured), so you'll be able to match your aesthetic." — AS
7 Inflatable Roller Wheel
"Nothing in this world screams "Play with me!" more than a gigantic Inflatable Roller Wheel ($73) that your kids can actually sit in. Inspire outdoor play this Summer with this playful wheel." — MM
8 7 A.M. Enfant Hamper Bag
"Perfect for beach toys, soccer gear, or wet items like towels and bathing suits after a long day at the pool, the 7 A.M. Enfant Hamper Bag ($19, originally $38) is superversatile and perfect for travel. Plus, there's a drawstring closure, which means kids can get in and out themselves, but it can easily be tied off securely if you don't want them rummaging around in a pile of wet towels." — AS
9 Beaker Creatures by Learning Resources
"Got a budding chemist in the house? Then they'll completely obsess over Learning Resources's latest kit, Beaker Creatures ($25), which lets kiddos conduct their very own science experiments. Kids 5 and up can dissolve reactor pods to uncover tiny creatures, learn how to classify species, and more." — MM
