What We're Shopping For In March

March feels like a fresh start. The days are getting longer, the sun is a little warmer and March or Spring Break is upon us. Whether you're travelling, staying home or just trying to keep the kids entertained, this month’s picks are all about fun, relaxation and making the most of the season ahead.

While we would genuinely buy every item on this list, some were gifted.

CYBEX e-Gazelle S Stroller

This month, we're giving away a CYBEX e-Gazelle S Stroller to one lucky winner. The revolutionary electric stroller—one of Time Magazine's Best Inventions in 2024—makes parenting on the go easier than ever. The stroller helps parents push up to 155 lbs with e-power on demand.

If you don't win, this stroller is an absolute powerhouse. It offers e-Powered uphill and uneven surface support, automatic rocking function, 20+ configurations transforming from a single to a double stroller with multiple seating options, one-pull harness, ergonomic near-flat recline and it folds down for easy storage and transport.

LEGO Creative Dinosaurs

This LEGO Creative Dinosaurs set is perfect for budding builders looking for a new challenge. Whether you're packing it for a trip or enjoying a quiet afternoon at home, these build-and-rebuild dinos are an easy win for kids (and adults who love LEGO, too).

Terra by Battat RC Bumper Dino Cars

Speaking of dinosaurs, I recently saw these Tarbosaurus RC toys at the Toy Fair in New York. They're cute, hilarious and so much fun. Battle and bump these trucks to eject your opponent's tarbosaurus. Then, reset and start again.

ZipString

Looking for a screen-free activity that mesmerizes both kids and adults? ZipString creates a floating loop of string that you control with your hands. It's a great way to keep hands busy and minds engaged. Plus, the string is soft and easy to reload, so tears are unlikely (but never impossible with kids). This was a big hit at the Toy Fair.

Fat Brain Toys Play Tab

If you’re traveling for March Break, this is a must-have for the plane, car or restaurant table. The Play Tab is a self-contained sensory toy that keeps little hands occupied—without needing WiFi, batteries, or a mess to clean up.

Yogasleep Dohm Nova Sound Machine

Whether you're heading to a hotel or simply struggling with sleep, do yourself a favor and invest in a white noise machine. The Yogasleep Dohm Nova has helped my light-sleeping son, drowning out hallway noise and unfamiliar sounds so everyone can rest easier.

Oura Ring (and Cycles app)

We recently shared a review of the Oura Ring. Our writer, Amanda, credits this health-tracking accessory with helping her conceive a healthy baby girl after multiple failed fertility treatments. But thanks to a twist of fate—and the Oura Ring paired with the Natural Cycles app—she was able to track her cycle more accurately and get pregnant naturally.

Nanit Pro Camera

Today's Parent writer Lauren Finney Harden tested out this popular baby monitor camera. And she loved it—especially for parents planning on having more than one kid. She says that the split-screen feature is invaluable. While the Nanit doesn't come with a physical monitor, it's easy to sync with your smart devices. And in Lauren's opinion, it's one of the best smart baby monitors on the market.

Outschool

Kids can learn to draw, dive into coding or even play Pokemon. Bonus: we've got a discount code! Get 25% off up to $100 USD with code TODAYSPARENT (valid until 3/31/25).
