5 Baby Products You’ll Use Every Day
Thanks to Graco for sponsoring today’s post. As always, all stated opinions are my honest thoughts. I value your trust and only partner with brands that I truly love. Keep reading to learn about the must-have baby products every new parent needs for their baby! #GenerationGraco #GracoRegistryCollection
We’ve been a Graco family from the very beginning. When we were creating Summer’s baby registry, all of our friends and family insisted that we add a Graco Pack ‘n Play, car seat, stroller, swing, and high chair to our registry. We did as they suggested, and as always, our family was 100% correct. We’ve used all of our Graco items nearly every day of Summer’s life, so we knew that we’d stick with Graco for little Luna as well!
I’ve recommended these ultra-popular Graco items to every pregnant mom I’ve spoken to over the past few years, so when I received the opportunity to test out the new Graco Registry Collection, I couldn’t say no! As much as I love our older Graco products (that are now spread across the grandparent’s houses), I have to say the new products have the coolest technology and handiest features. The upgrades are SO smart, and whether you’re a first-time mama or a seasoned parent expecting another baby, I really think you’re going to fall head over heels for this line.

If you have a baby, you need a Pack ‘n Play. Period. End of story. It is THE best investment and the best gift idea for a baby shower! Why? It’s extremely well-built, incredibly versatile, and perfectly convenient. We recently upgraded to the new Graco Pack ‘n Play Newborn2Toddler Playard, and oh my goodness, it has everything a new mama could want! Summer loves playing with toys and reading books in the toddler cot configuration, and we’ve used it for naps/sleeping at home and while traveling. With this one configuration alone, you have a great solution for sleep and play, but there are SO many other uses the new model offers.
The Graco Pack ‘n Play Newborn2Toddler Playard offers seven different options that you can use from the time you bring your newborn home until they’re growing into a toddler. We’ve loved the diaper changer feature, which allows us to change little Luna’s diapers downstairs. I love that the fabric wipes clean easily because newborn blowouts are no joke!
The portable napper feature is also a lifesaver with a busy toddler running around the house. I can easily place Luna in the portable napper and keep her safe and cozy while I’m working, finishing errands, or playing with Summer. Plus, it has a two-speed vibration feature to soothe baby if needed. Both of these accessories can be removed from the playard in seconds thanks to Quick Connect™ Technology, so it’s easy to switch to a different configuration as needed.
My favorite new feature from the Graco Pack ‘n Play Newborn2Toddler Playard is the raised bassinet. Whether you’re using the bassinet by your bed for nighttime sleep or in your home for naps, the raised bassinet makes it incredibly easy to monitor your baby and keep them at eye level. I love that I can watch Luna nap while I’m working in my office, and I’m also excited that as she grows, I can remove this piece and move it onto the floor with toys to create a contained play area for her. Absolutely genius!
If you’re looking for the perfect baby shower gift idea, the Graco Pack ‘n Play Newborn2Toddler Playard is your best bet! We’d be lost without ours, and I know we’ll be using this model for years to come with Luna and our future children.
WHERE TO BUY: You can purchase the Graco Pack ‘n Play Newborn2Toddler Playard at gracobaby.com, and .
Since I work from home with a two-year-old, one of my goals when I was pregnant was to create a safe and soothing space for Luna in every room of the house. With Summer, I just moved things from room to room, but I knew that just wouldn’t work for us with two kids. Ryan and I knew we’d be looking for a new swing and/or rocker, and we found the perfect combination in the new Graco® Sense2Soothe™ Swing with Cry Detection™ Technology.
It is honestly so cool. It can adjust its settings in response to your baby’s cry – including eight soothing motions that mimic how mom would normally move, three swing speeds, two vibration settings, and 15 different songs and sounds. If you find a setting combination that’s perfect for your baby, you can also turn on the Parent Mode, which saves your baby’s favorite settings. You can even use it as a traditional swing if you turn off the Cry Detection™ Technology.
While I love this swing’s technology, I love it’s versatility and practicality just as much. The seat of the swing can be removed to create a portable rocker that you can use throughout your home, and all of the materials are made from easily washable material. Let’s just say that Luna has already tested out that feature haha!
WHERE TO BUY: You can purchase the Graco Sense2Soothe Swing at gracobaby.com, Amazon, , , and .
My aunt gave us a Graco highchair when Summer was about six months old, and it’s been one of the most useful presents we’ve ever received! In addition to being a fabulous place for Summer to eat her meals, we’ve also used her high chair as a convenient place to keep her safe and occupied while we’re cleaning around the kitchen. We’ll give her some crayons and a coloring book, and she’s as happy as a clam! As much as we’ve loved our high chair, we were thrilled to get the chance to test out the Graco® Floor2Table™ 7-in-1 Highchair.
It has so many of the features we loved from our previous high chair and more. For starters, it offers seven different configurations that allow you to use the highchair as everything from an infant floor seat to a toddler table and chair. It’s honestly incredible what this high chair can do. While Luna is still too little for the high chair, Summer has loved using it as a toddler booster seat on our dining room chairs and as a stool to pull up to the table. I’m also thrilled that we’ll be able to feed Luna in the infant floor seat and Summer in the stool at the same time when they’re older – all from this one high chair! Oh, and you can even turn this high chair into a play table and stool for coloring and more!
Like all Graco products, this high chair is also incredibly durable and practical. The padding is machine-washable and stain-resistant, and the tray inserts are dishwasher-safe. This high chair is such a great investment, and it would also be any amazing baby shower present for parents-to-be!
WHERE TO BUY: You can purchase the Graco Floor2Table 7-in-1 Highchair at gracobaby.com, , , Amazon, and .
Ryan and I were in the market for a lightweight double stroller that we could keep in our car for quick trips, and the Graco Modes2Grow™ Stroller fits the bill perfectly. It can be used as either a single or double stroller, and it also works perfectly with our Graco infant carseat. In fact, you can click any Graco infant car seat directly into the stroller! We’ve been using it with Summer for walks around the park and trips to the store before Luna was even born, and I know that we’ll get SO much use out of this stroller throughout the next few years.
We used a Graco stroller and car seat when Summer was an infant and had such a great experience, and I know that this newly-upgraded model will be even better. If you’re looking for an ultra-practical baby shower gift that your loved ones will use each and every day, definitely check out the Graco Modes2Grow stroller!
WHERE TO BUY: You can purchase the Graco Modes2Grow Stroller at gracobaby.com, , and Amazon. Learn more at gracoregistrycollection.
The SnugLock™ Technology is incredibly easy to install into your car. In fact, there’s only a 3-step installation process, and you’ll hear a satisfying “click” noise every time you properly insert the car seat into its base. It makes me feel so much better knowing that Luna is secure! This car seat accommodates infants from 4-35 lbs and up to 32″ and features a Silent Shade™ canopy and an adjustable handle that’s easy to use with one hand. I also LOVE that this car seat features a SafetyCore™ impact absorption zone to absorb frontal crash forces. Oh, and it fits perfectly into our stroller too!
If you’re looking for a safe, dependable, and affordable car seat, you can’t go wrong with Graco. We’ve now repurchased their car seats multiple times to have duplicates for our cars and Summer and Luna’s grandparents’ cars, and I know we’ll be using them for years to come!
WHERE TO BUY: You can purchase the SnugRide SnugLock 35 DLX Infant Car Seat at gracobaby.com, Amazon, Walmart, buybuy Baby, and Target. Learn more at gracoregistrycollection.
As I mentioned earlier, we’re a Graco family through and through. Even though little Luna has only been home for a week, we’ve already used all of these items each and every day. If you’re looking for dependable baby products that will last you for years and years, definitely look into the Graco Registry Collection. I guarantee you’ll be impressed with the versatility, longevity, and price point of their products. Learn more by visiting gracoregistrycollection.

5 Baby Products You’ll Use Every Day
Today I’m sharing my review of all of the items in the Graco Registry Collection. As someone who’s used Graco products for two years, I am 100% confident in recommending these products to you. Their products are made to last, and more importantly, made to be used…and used and used and used. These are not baby items you purchase just because they’re cute. Each and every item is incredibly practical and will last you for years to come and can be used with multiple children!Graco Pack ‘n Play Newborn2Toddler Playard Review

SnugRide® SnugLock® 35 DLX Infant Car Seat Review
As I mentioned earlier, we’ve exclusively used Graco infant and convertible car seats for Summer’s entire life, so it was a total no-brainer that we’d also use a Graco infant car seat for Luna. We like to keep car seats in both cars, and the Graco SnugRide SnugLock 35 DLX Infant Car Seat is the newest addition to the crew.The SnugLock™ Technology is incredibly easy to install into your car.
