The Snoo. The Nanit. The Hatch Rest. Many lists of baby gear mandate certain items, but our columnist wondered if it would be better to chuck those lists out.<\/p>\n

Last spring, when my wife and I were preparing to welcome our first child, we started a list of baby gear \u2014 a rite of passage for parents<\/a>. The difference with our list, or so I thought, was that it would contain only the best stuff because it was vetted by me, a tech columnist with 20 years of experience testing products.<\/p>\n

After our baby arrived in the summer, I learned I was wrong.<\/p>\n

It turns out there is no best baby gear, because what worked for other parents often didn\u2019t work for us. Even though I had picked a top-rated stroller, its wheels were inadequate for our neighborhood\u2019s pothole-riddled streets. The electronic bottle warmer<\/a> listed as a must-have by many Redditors was too slow at heating up milk for our vocal newborn. The Snoo<\/a>, the $1,700 robotic bassinet with a cult following, did nothing to lull our little one to sleep.<\/p>\n

Now past the sleepless nights of the newborn phase, my wife and I wound up with a well-rested, content child. What helped, in part, was pivoting to a different approach with baby gear, analyzing our particular problems as new parents and looking for ways to solve them.<\/p>\n

My highs and lows with baby tech may not be every parent\u2019s experience. But the lessons I learned from my misadventures, from internet-controlled night lights to nanny cams, should be universally applicable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
