Some of us freshly anointed moms and dads pooled together our top tech picks that make early days with baby just a touch easier (or more fun and nerdy).
A bunch of us here at The Verge became parents this year. And since we love sharing tech and gadget recommendations based on our personal experiences, it’s the perfect opportunity to lend some holiday shopping advice. If you find yourself in the same boat — if you’re a new or expectant parent or a gift giver with one in mind — we’ve put together this guide that’s part tech-y baby registry and part “let’s give new parents a little nerdy treat to help them through those sleepless nights.”
These picks range from tech and baby needs that some of us personally opted for, like a video baby monitor with no dependence on Wi-Fi or the cloud, to stuff we would wish we had if we were going to do it all over again, like smart glasses for taking hands-free photos of those treasured milestones. (Wait, would we really want to go through all this chaos more than once?!)
There are all kinds of things you can get for new parents, and when in doubt, some diapers and spare onesies rarely go unneeded — but let us help you pick out something a little more special.
