December is a busy month for families. With holidays, school breaks, travel plans, and perhaps an influx of visiting relatives, the month can feel filled to the brim with activities. For December, our editors searched high and low for some of the best baby products [1] to make cold-weather living easier on everyone — think hand-warmers for the stroller and beyond — and a few fun presents, too. Happy shopping.
Baby Bum’s Born to Explore Travel Set
"For families headed on holiday Baby Bum's Born to Explore Travel Set has everything you'll need, from sanitizer to shampoo, plus it's already TSA-approved!" — Rebecca Brown, senior editor
Zen One Classic
"The Zen One Classic [3] ($45) is like a weighted blanket in swaddle form! The cosy swaddle is weighted on baby's chest and sides to mimic the pressure of a parent's cuddle and help soothe your little one to sleep. It also grows with your baby and can be used from three to six months. Its transitional design includes a band to secure baby's arms and calm the startle reflex, mesh sleeves for allowing your baby to sleep in a womb-like position with hands close to the face, and the option to remove the sleeves and free the arms." — Angela Elias, content director
KEEN Kootenay Winter Boot
" KEEN Kootenay Winter Boot [4] ($85) are the ultimate boot for families who live in cold, snowy climates. They're fleece-insulated and water-resistant, so they're definitely snowman building-approved!" — Alessia Santoro, editor

"Have you seen anything cuter than these Toy Story 4 Bibs [7] ($18) from Bumkins?! Featuring cartoon versions of Buzz, Woody, Jessie, Bullseye, and the Aliens, these washable bibs will save your floor from messes* the cute way.
