Why I’m Loving Lalo for Every Stage of Baby
(From Newborn to Toddler)
8/14/20265 min read
Looking for safe, aesthetic baby products that grow with your child?
This post covers my favorite picks from Lalo for every stage — including feeding essentials, high chairs, and the hook-on chair we’ve been using daily.
If you’re anything like me, you want baby products that are:
That’s honestly harder to find than it should be.
I’ve been slowly discovering brands that check those boxes, and lately I’ve been really loving Lalo — especially after getting to try their hook-on chair (which has already been so helpful for this stage of motherhood).
What I appreciate most is that their products are designed to grow with your baby — so you’re not constantly buying new things every few months.
Let’s break it down by stage:
Safe + Non-toxic
Actually functional (not just cute)
And don’t completely ruin your home aesthetic
Newborn Stage Essentials
During the newborn phase, everything feels overwhelming… so I’m all about keeping things simple and intentional.
A few Lalo products that stand out here:
Why I like them:
A super minimal, wood-based play gym that isn’t an eyesore in your living room (huge win). It encourages early development without overstimulation.
This is SUCH a practical swap. Instead of constantly washing covers, you can just wipe it clean (which, let’s be honest, you’ll be doing a lot of). It’s sleek, minimal, nontoxic and actually makes diaper changes easier.
They simplify those early days and cut down on unnecessary laundry, clutter, and overstimulation.
Baby Stage (Sitting Up + Starting Solids)
This is the phase where things get messy… fast, but also where baby really starts to feel part of everyday life.
Lalo really shines here with their feeding + mealtime products:
The hook-on chair is one of those things I didn’t realize I needed… but now I absolutely love.
Aesthetic, sturdy, and easy to wipe down (which matters more than you think once you’re deep in solids).
(Perfect for Starting Solids / BLW). Think suction plates, bowls, bibs, and utensils designed for little hands learning to eat. They also have a stainless steel + silicone line!
(What I have!) Clips right onto your table so baby can sit with you during meals — which I LOVE. Also, it's very portable so good for traveling around or outings out with the family.
Why I like them:
Easier cleanup (huge win)
Encourages connection at the table
Doesn’t clutter your space with bulky plastic
Real mom take:
Toddler Stage (Play, Independence + Learning)
This stage is all about independence, curiosity, and play — and I love that Lalo has pieces that support that in a really intentional way.
A learning tower that lets toddlers safely get up to counter height so they can be part of everyday routines — whether that’s helping in the kitchen, washing hands, doing an activity at the counter, or simply seeing what you’re doing.
Such a cute option for hands-on toddler play. It encourages creativity, pretend play, and fine motor skills while still having that simple, modern look that blends into your home.
A cozy little space for imaginative play, reading, or quiet time. I love products like this that can become part of a toddler’s everyday play without adding a bunch of visual clutter.
Why I like them:
They encourage independence, creativity, and open-ended play without filling your space with loud, overstimulating toys. They’re functional for kids while still being pieces you don’t mind having out in your home.
Why Lalo Fits an Eco Crunchy Lifestyle
I wouldn’t share anything here that didn’t align with the kind of products I’m trying to bring into our home, and Lalo fits in really naturally. I’m all about progress over perfection and finding baby and toddler products that feel thoughtful, functional, and worth actually owning.
Thoughtfully designed products that prioritize function and longevity
Materials and product details that appeal to parents trying to make more intentional choices
Pieces designed for different stages of baby and toddlerhood
Minimalist, modern designs that blend into your home
Products that encourage everyday routines, independence, and play
For me, it’s that balance of intentional + realistic. I don’t need every baby product to be perfectly “crunchy,” but I do want to be thoughtful about what we buy, what we use every day, and what actually makes life with a little one easier.
Final Thoughts
If you’re building your baby registry, transitioning into the toddler stage, or just trying to be more intentional about the baby gear you bring into your home, Lalo is definitely a brand worth browsing.
Their products are super cute, but more importantly, they’re designed around the things parents and little ones are actually doing every day — changing, eating, playing, learning, and becoming more independent.
Lalo gifted us their Hook-On Chair to try, and getting to experience one of their products in our own routine made me even more interested in the rest of the line. I love finding brands that make functional baby gear feel a little more intentional and a lot less like clutter.
