In the hot seat this month and straight from Mother&Baby contributor Anna Sky Magliola’s shopping basket, Anna Sky shares the items she’s got her eye from Graco with new parents in mind.

This month we take a look at the items you’ll need at home as you welcome a newborn to the fold, as well as some items for those slightly older children. From cots to highchairs and bouncers to soothers, we love these products from Graco.

Side-By-Side Travel Cot

Graco's Side-By-Side Travel Cot is purposely designed to be portable, so you can take it from room to room around the house, or with you when you go on holiday. It has a simple one-handed, one-action fold, meaning it's easy to use, and can fold flat for storage. With vented easy-view mesh panels you can rest assured your little one will sleep soundly as it has improved airflow, and means you can see you baby easily, and they can see you.

Complete with a travel bag for storage, this cot can be used both at home and away. While away, the cot transforms into an infant bed by removing the lower legs.

RRP £70

Bumper Jumper

Graco's Bumper Jumper is a door jumper that will keep your baby entertained for hours. It has a sturdy bounce, with a hidden safety cord, and a spring-loaded, no-mark clamp that easily attaches to your doorframe. The height adjustment also means it can be used as your baby grows, and the detachable toys give your baby extra stimulation.

An added bonus is that it comes with a foam bumper surround, to protect your door from damage.
