Having a sanitary area to change your child is important, but sometimes you must improvise. The Manhattan Momma Patemm Pad is a changing pad that actually folds into a diaper bag. When folded, the Patemm Pad measures 9×9x2. It unfolds into a 28 inch round. This unique changing pad also has large pockets for diapers and wipes, and enough room for an extra set of clothes. Made from latex-free oilcloth, it has an easy clean up.

The Manhattan Momma Patemm Pad was invented by a mom and has received national and international acclaim by parents, caretakers and the media. It is available in both blue and pink. Price: $49.94 at Littledudesanddivas.com.

My son loves his Winkel from Manhattan Toys. The loops are colorful and soft so that little hands can grab easily. The Winkel also makes a wonderful chew toy. It can even go in the fridge to create a soothing teether.

Also when your little one shakes it, it rattles. I really like Manhattan Toys. They are colorful, educational and best of all the Winkel is BPA free.

You can buy the Winkel at manhattantoy.com for $13.00.
