American Baby Best of the Year Awards 2007

New parents have virtually no spare time, but they'll make time to praise favorite baby products. We know because for the last nine years, we've asked readers, "What three products make your life easier?" and each year we've received thousands of nominations. We tabulate them, and the winning manufacturers of those products receive an American Baby Best of the Year (AMBY) award. So what do moms and dads in 2007 consider baby-product royalty?

Johnson's Bedtime Products

Skin is in. That's the message we got loud and clear this year; three baby skincare lines won an AMBY, and four of the five runners-up are diaper-rash creams. At the top of the heap? Johnson's Bedtime products, which not only gently clean and moisturize baby's skin but have the added promise of promoting relaxation and sleep. The lavender scent of the bath wash, lotion, and massage gel is a hit with moms, who trust its aromatherapy benefits. "It really helps my baby relax and sleep after a long day," says Kerine Simms, of Montgomery Village, Maryland (about $4-$5; johnsonsbaby.com).
