Stay-at-home or work-at-home parents rely on baby gear that serves multiple functions in the home and, if possible, outside of it as well. As their days may take them from the in-home office to the playroom to kitchen to the park all before nap time, products that adapt to ever-changing environments are these parents’ life savers.

This environment-ready gear is also great for nannies, baby sitters or grandparents who may run the gamut of situations in a single day’s work.

So what do we recommend for the parent who spends most of the day at home? Here’s our favorites:

Silver

The Pliko Switch – We’ve boasted about the Switch’s knack for pleasing the suburban parent, but its transformability also offers some perks for the at-home parent.

After an outside walk, the backrest can be completely reclined so that mom or dad doesn’t have to wake baby from his nap.

A removable seat means a lighter travel option when running errands while baby is an infant. Mom or dad can simply leave the seat behind, relying on the Primo Viaggio’s travel system-compatibility and the chassis’s slim, umbrella fold for a quick run to the grocery store, bank or post office. This option is so light and simple, mom or dad should have no trouble navigating the ins and outs of traveling with baby.

Gold

The Tatamia – The Tatamia truly is three pieces of baby gear all rolled into one. First, it’s an infant recliner, giving the at-home parent an option for their sleeping baby wherever they may be in the house.

Then, it’s a manual baby swing—something the at-home parent will appreciate when trying to get some work done. An easy nudge is all it takes to get the smooth swing going.

And, finally, it’s a high chair. But not any high chair—this chair follows baby to the point where he/she is ready to sit at the table like a grown up. The tray comes off, the seat raises or lowers (depending on dining table height), and the chair rolls right up to the table. Just like a big kid!

Platinum

The Skate System – No other Peg Perego product follows mom, dad and baby so seamlessly from bedroom to living room to sidewalk to park as the Skate System. The Skate truly is one piece of baby gear that seems to do it all.

With the Bassinet Stand (available for separate purchase), the Skate’s Bassinet unit becomes a safe haven for your infant during the night. During the day, the portable Bassinet component can be moved about the house, resting directly on the floor, on the chassis or in the stand. This is great for the work-at-home parent who must be in their at-home office, but wants baby there as well.

Once little one grows, the stroller’s sleek style allows mom or dad to use the seat as a youth chair, pulling the stroller directly up to the dining room table.

And throughout baby’s life the Skate System offers a durable, stylish option for outdoor walks and trips to the park.

Whether in carriage or stroller mode, the Skate sees to it that mom, dad, and baby have all they could want for their at-home needs.
