15 products we’re loving this fall


Here’s a new crop of great baby, kid, and family products that have been popping up in our inboxes. Many of these products are part of an important trend—products that are good for you and for the planet. Some are made of organic cotton, others are recyclable, or part of the proceeds go into local community organizations. Check them out!

The Fuzzy Sprout Lift, Unsnap and Wrap Towel

The Fuzzy Sprout “Lift, Unsnap and Wrap” towel is a handy (well, hands-free) way to safely scoop up baby from the tub, while keeping you dry. This simple product by a new Canadian company helps bath time go smoothly. This parent-worn baby towel takes away the juggling, and allows you to easily lift and wrap baby using both hands.

We love that the Fuzzy Sprout towel is made from 100% organic cotton so parents can be confident that the fabric used to cradle their little ones is free from harmful chemicals. And they were designed with longevity in mind: They are larger than other baby towels and can be used in three different ways to accommodate newborns to infants to toddlers.

Koolorez Dolls

Toronto mom of two Michele Balesti wasn’t able to find Black dolls that she felt represented her culture and allowed her children to see their beauty reflected in their collection of toys. So she solved this problem by creating Koolorez dolls to mirror the beauty and visibility of Caribbean and African culture. The dolls come in different styles and sizes, from baby dolls to posable dolls, for children ages two to 10.

Dolls are an influential tool in role play, empathy and imagination for young kids, helping to form the vision they have of the world. Michele created Characters like Camilla and Jada to promote awareness and diversity with inspiration from Caribbean and African culture and fashion.

Each collection offers a variety of outfits, hair styles and designs to choose from. These dolls give children the opportunity to explore and celebrate black culture and beauty, sparking imagination and inclusivity in play.

Born to Be Wild Kids Cup by Loulou Lollipop

Vancouver-based Loulou Lollipop has added something new to their tableware collection for littles. The new 100% food-grade silicone cup and straw makes transitioning from bottles to cups simple. The lid clicks in place for a tight seal, and the weighted bottom with tactile grip keeps it from easily toppling. The soft straw helps support baby-led weaning, and drinking from an open cup promotes healthy oral and speech development. Loulou is another company that uses materials that have a minimal impact on the earth, including silicone which is safe for teething and chewing. And if that isn’t enough, the company donates 1% of each purchase to a charity of your choice.

Supporo Fashion Compression Socks

Many people find they need compression socks, but might be put off by the traditional stodgy look. For pregnant women especially, the socks can help prevent blood clots and blood pooling, as well as assist with swelling and aching legs, and help to prevent varicose veins. Supporo has found a way to keep you healthy without compromising style; they offer an incredible range of designs in their new Mode line. From cheerful yellow lemons, to houseplants on bright pink, to cabin-inspired woollen socks, there’s something for everyone. We love that you can give your legs the care they need—and still look good.

Serenity Kids Meats and Herbs Pouches

Grab-and-go pouches are becoming increasingly popular among the baby and toddler set. So it’s great that Serenity Kids is now offering ethically-sourced meat and herb pouches, which are nutrient-dense, deliciously savoury and allergen-free. Plus, there’s no added sugars! Experts say kids’ flavour windows are most receptive between the ages of four to seven months so take advantage of this time and familiarize them with more complex foods, flavours, and textures. Worried about the extra waste? Serenity Kids has an established partnership with Terracycle which offers free pouch recycling to customers.

If your kids love the comfort of Native shoes, you’ll want to check out their new water-resistant boots. What’s especially amazing is that these new styles are made with a bio-based material derived from algae and engineered to replace some of the plastic used in conventional shoes. So making these shoes actually helps to solve the problem of algae overgrowth in some freshwater lakes! Best of all, the Johnny Treklike Bloom hiking boots and the Fitzsimmons Citylike Bloom shoes come in both kid and adult sizes and in a range of awesome colours, so parents can get in the fun too. Can you say #twinning? And once they no longer fit, the kicks are recyclable through their RemixTM Project!

Ask any parent and they’ll tell you that cleaning kids’ car seats is one of the most difficult tasks. But Britax has introduced a big update: Their Highpoint Backless Booster and GrowWithYou ClickTight seats now come in a naturally flame-retardant SafeWash fabric that is both washer and dryer friendly. With all the wear and tear, crumbs and spills, and—dare we say—queasy tummies that these car seats are up against, it’s a win in our books! Plus, the new fabric also reduces the amount of chemicals that little ones are exposed to. The new colour collection includes Black Ombre, Gray Ombre, Purple Ombre in the Highpoint, and Green Ombre, Blue Contour, and Mod Ivory for the GrowWithYou.

Like all of Ergobaby’s products, Evolve is designed with ergonomics at the forefront—so babe is safe, comfortable and happy. The Evolve 3-in-1 Bouncer can be used from birth with the included newborn insert that was developed with guidance from a paediatric orthopedist to support your little one from head to hips and to help prevent flat head syndrome.

The middle position allows infants to rock themselves, no plugs, batteries or switches required, while the highest position is perfect for toddlers who want to see everything that’s going on around them.

The Pi will make even an amateur chef seem like a pro. (And don’t worry, we won’t tell if you use ready made dough!)

Toronto-based company Q for Quinn started out six years ago making organic socks for babies and kids, when founder Melita Cyril struggled to find organic, chemical-free socks for her son, who had severe eczema. We’re thrilled that they’ve now grown to make natural and organic basics for adults too. This 100 % organic cotton underwear is GOTS certified, and comes in peach, crème brulée and black in a high-rise fit.

Not only is it safe and comfortable, it’s also designed to grow with your baby and can be used all the way to baby’s first birthday. It allows your little one to lay down or sit in the tub safely, and it has anti-slip pads on the legs so the tub stays in place. The lightweight design is soft to the touch and it offers an ergonomic design for baby’s comfort with smooth rounded edges. Even better? It’s easy to keep clean and dries quickly.

Apple iPad

The tenth generation iPad is here and it features awesome upgrades that the entire family can benefit from. Not only is it available in four bold finishes (pink, blue, yellow and a dazzling white), it also features an upgraded chip so the tablet is faster and runs more efficiently while the battery still lasts all day long. We love that you can purchase a Magic Keyboard Folio to the device; it magnetically attaches so there’s no need to ever charge it but it allows your iPad to act as a laptop. It’s a great entry-level device for school-aged kids who are having to rely on technology more and more for homework, assignments and research. Add a pencil and keyboard and you easily have a device that can last you ten or more years, especially thanks to the large screen.

Plus, there’s some super cool features the whole family will enjoy, like the ability to easily lift text and pictures from backgrounds to isolate the image. And it still offers all the features of Family Sharing to help manage your kid’s screen time, including the ability to set permissions around how much time they spend on the device and approving (or declining) what they can buy or download. From your own device, you can disable certain apps and set limits around what content kids can access, including games, podcasts, books, movies and shows.
