Taking a child’s temperature sometimes seems like an impossible task.
With all the screaming and kicking legs, a parent can get frustrated quite
easily. However, this gadget is called the pacifier thermometer. It is
shaped just like a pacifier and to get the child’s temperature, it only has
to be in his mouth. It’s a great way to see if baby has a fever in the
middle of the night without getting him undressed and undiapered.
2. Oco HD Cloud Wi-Fi Video Monitoring Camera
Most parents would like to know what their children are up to while they
are away. This can be a bit difficult for parents that do not spend all day
around them. Therefore, if you want to give your child a little
independence but still know what they are doing, I suggest you invest in
a monitoring camera. The device called, Oco, is a Wi-Fi video monitoring
camera that allows you to view a live stream of any room right from your
smartphone. The Oco has a motion sensor and sound sensor that allows
you to always keep track of what’s going on in your house when you’re
not around. It has quite a number of uses for parents, including the
ability to notify you when your kids get home safely from school. As a
working parent, you have the ability to talk to anyone in the room that the
Oco is in remotely. It is quite useful for keeping an eye on things both
close and far from you.
3. TrackR Bravo

Oftentimes, you find yourself asking where the keys are, your wallet, or
even your phone. The TrackR is a quarter-sized device that can be
fastened to any item. Once it is attached, users are able to use the
companion app to find whatever device that the TrackR is attached to. If
you lose something like your wallet, you simply pull up the app on your
smartphone and you can make the TrackR beep. You can also set up
the app to alert you when you venture too far from it. Lost your

up every ten minutes to make sure of this can be quite stressful. The
Owlet baby monitor is there to help. It gives you that reassurance by
monitoring the vital signs of the little ones as they sleep. It is a smart
bootie that you slip onto your baby’s foot. If there are any sudden
changes to your child’s breathing or heart rate, the Owlet monitor will
alert your phone immediately. I believe it is an alternative that is totally
worth its function.
5. Baby Shusher
No one likes the sound of a baby crying, especially parents. Having your
child’s crying wake you in the middle of the night can trigger unhappy
reactions. Therefore, parents will try all sort of tricks to soothe their baby
when they cry. Why not employ the use of a gadget for this cause?

device, that performs this function effectively. It shushes the baby by
mimicking the rhythmic sounds of the womb, triggering your baby’s
“natural calming reflex” to stop him from crying.

should not be without this as well. Smartphones are lifesavers for
parents for more than a million reasons. With the presence of the
camera, the calendar and the apps that come in handy at all times.

he falls to sleep. It’s a gadget that has become essential in modern
society.

design that makes it easy to carry along on a road trip or flight. The

folded into a backpack! It can carry up to 11 pounds and comes with a
storage basket just like regular strollers.
