From cribs to activity centers and innovative storage ideas, we’ve compiled a list of essentials to help you make the most of your space without sacrificing durability, comfort, or elegance!
Babyletto Mini Crib
This gorgeous mini crib is ideal for small living spaces. Its foldable frame and removable locking wheels allow you to move the crib around and easily store it. The Babyletto mini crib is safe for your baby to use until they reach 35’’ (or start to climb) and has been tested for over 10,000 chemical emissions and VOCs. It has two adjustable mattress heights and comes in six beautiful color options.
Graco Pack ‘N Play Sit ‘N Grow Playard
The Graco Pack ‘N Play Sit ‘N Grow Playard is another incredible space-saving option for your little one. It’s incredibly versatile and includes a portable bassinet that converts to an infant floor seat, a built-in changing station, and a spacious playard for your growing baby to sleep and play. The snap-on storage console keeps your essentials nearby, making it convenient for you. With the push of a button, it easily folds away and can be stored in the included carry bag, making it perfect for small living spaces.
Inglesina Fast Table Chair
The Inglesina Fast Table Chair is ideal for small living spaces, offering both convenience and safety. It’s ultra-light, collapsible, and includes a carry bag for on-the-go use! Its three-point harness, high backrest, and extra-padded seat keep your baby safe and comfortable. The company promises you’ll never have to worry about the chair scratching or scuffing the surface you attach it to, providing parents with peace of mind. There are also four different color options to coordinate with any living space.
Skip Hop Activity Center
Parents agree that when you don’t have much room, buying toys that will last for years is the way to go! The Skip Hop Activity Center is suitable for four-month-old babies and will last through toddlerhood, providing long-term value for your space. Stage 1 allows infants to explore and play safely and securely. Stage 2 is perfect for new walkers, allowing them to hold onto the table while they explore the light-up piano, peek-a-boo owl, and other clip-on toys. Once your child is ready to sit and learn, the activity table becomes a functional toddler table, perfect for doing crafts and activities!
BabyBjorn Bouncer
The BabyBjorn bouncer is a favorite among parents everywhere. Parents rave about its ability to fold flat when not in use, making it ideal for small living spaces. It’s slim and compact, made from 100% cotton for extra breathability and comfort, and machine washable! The removable toy bar makes this bouncer a safe and entertaining option for babies from birth to age two.
Babyzen YOYO² Stroller Bundle
Not only is this stroller perfect for small living spaces, but it’s also a fan favorite for traveling with your baby. The YOYO² is ultra-compact and lightweight; it can even fold down small enough to fit most overhead luggage compartments. On-the-go parents can fold and unfold this stroller with one hand, and it comes equipped with a carry strap. Parents love that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for compactibility either—it has super smooth suspension and a large canopy that protects your little one from harmful UV rays and rain. It’s suitable to use from birth with the addition of the newborn pack.
Doona Compact Infant Car Seat & Stroller
The Doona Car Seat & Stroller is another great space-saving option. Thanks to the integrated wheels built into the base, it’s an all-in-one travel system that allows you to go from car seat to stroller in seconds. It comes with the exclusive Doona LATCH base, which you can install in your car to pop it in and out quickly, but can also be used with your vehicle’s seat belt (which makes it an ideal option for an on-the-go, urban lifestyle!). The Doona features a 5-point adjustable safety harness, removable foam inserts, and an extendable sun canopy.
Puj Tub
The Puj Tub is an excellent space-saving bathtub option, especially for the first few months of life before your baby can sit up unassisted. The innovative in-sink tub is designed with your baby’s comfort and safety in mind. Made of cushy, lightweight foam, it easily folds up so you can bathe your baby in any sink in the house. It’s also BPA and PVC-free and has drainage holes to prevent overfilling.
Mommy’s Helper Inflatable Infant Bathtub
Once your baby can sit up unassisted, an inflatable tub is the perfect choice for compact living spaces. It can be easily inflated for bathtime and deflated afterward for quick, compact storage. The anti-slip saddle horn safely prevents the baby from slipping, and the tub is made from phthalate-free, soft materials to ensure your baby’s comfort.
Behind the Door Bookshelf
Maximizing storage space is essential in small living spaces, and utilizing vertical space allows you to do just that! Made of high-quality solid wood, this behind-the-door bookshelf is designed for durability and longevity. It allows you to display toys, books, decor, and more in a sleek and elegant way.
OXO Tot Space Saving Drying Rack
As a new parent, I underestimated how much counter space baby bottles could take up! Parents rave about vertical drying racks, remarking how much they can hold without taking up precious real estate on their countertops. This drying rack features nine hooks for bottles and sippy cups, a removable top compartment, and a drain tray. The best part is that all the pieces are dishwasher-safe!
