These days, baby products all have a few features in common that makes it easier to decide what to buy. However, before you buy, be sure to consider which non-universal features you truly need.
* '''Safety Harness''': Available on anything that moves, and even available on some products which are stationary. Can't be too safe when it comes to baby.
* '''Machine Washable''': Luckily, we are not barbarians, and now most, if not all, baby products (are now machine washable: either the entire product, or just a removable insert. Either way, you are covered.
* '''Feeding Tray''': Most, if not all, products that are made to hold a baby for a prolonged amount of time now come with removable snack trays for when baby gets peckish. Works the same for toddlers.
* '''Toy Bar''': For the most part, all sitting or reclining products for babies come with dangling toys, some sort of mobile apparatus, or other fun contraptions that will keep baby entertained and learning.
* '''Entertainment''': Almost all products on the market today include some sort of light or music show (sometimes from an iPod), or other brain stimulating activities.
* '''Different Positions''': All reclining, bouncing, or stationary seats made for babies have different levels of incline for baby to be comfortable. Different levels should match baby's development.
