I'm not sure that we're the target demographic for the ParkerG, which is to say, we're not the sort of parents who plan to take our infant daughter down the black-diamond runs. Honestly, as cute as Josie looks in this nifty hat-and-shades ensemble ($34) — and she most certainly does look cute — this accessory feels a bit rich for our blood. That said, a few words of endorsement: 1. The thing did in fact fit her. 2. She didn't pitch a fit when we put it on her. 3. I'm guessing it did help cut down on the glare she might have experienced after our last snow storm, though she was mostly reclining in her stroller (not a location renowned for causing snow blindness). So I'm left to wonder: is there some set of international jetset parents who insist on taking their little bundles of joy on expeditions to the Alps? And if so, would any of them like to buy a slightly used ParkerG? — Steve Almond

A day of sunshine fools you into thinking it's spring — then out of the blue comes an icy, wintry day. It's this time of year when everyone's closet seems to be in limbo, with trench coats and tank tops vying for rung space. No longer does your wee one have to battles these woes. Hug Me sweaters ($70) by Oeuf are the perfect transition-wear from winter to spring. Made of warm, wind-proof Alpaca, these hand-woven sweaters work well layered over a T-shirt, but are soft enough to wear solo when weather permits. Their crowning glory? Built-in mittens. And one less thing to get lost is a saving grace for any parent. — Katie Bayless

Turn your toddler into a cozy garden gnome with Chloe in Style's ponchos ($57). Perfect for that time between snow angels and April showers, the ponchos are beautifully handmade from fleece, trimmed with so-cute pom-poms, and come in an assortment of colors and sizes from newborn up to 4T. They're even machine-washable (although not officially). It's a stylish solution to keeping your little sweetheart warm, without having to wrestle her to the ground so you can pull her arms through her sleeves. - Rebecca Woolf

If your toddlers are at all like mine, they're capable of whining at glass-shattering decibels, able to thrive solely on raisins and Pirate's Booty for days on end, and durable enough to execute a triathlon's worth of activities in one afternoon without so much as pausing for breath. Now, if those aren't superhuman qualities, I don't know what are. Clearly, they're no mere mortals, so why should they settle for ducking into a phone booth to change into the standard-issue T-shirt? Little Capers hero shirts ($32-$35) come with a shiny, removable waist-length cape that's perfect for derring-do. Choose from such super symbols as lightning bolts, flowers and "Pow!"-esque stars, and your kids will be ready to give any Pixar character a run for its money. — Leigh-Ann Jackson

An interactive T? I had to see it for myself. Fabric Flavours has made three of these interactive long-sleeved Ts exclusively for Baby Dagny. The Anteater Eating Ants shirt ($36) is made of thick 100% cotton and includes swell graphics outlined in made-to-be-seen stitching. A campy poem-riddle leads you to the "lift here" on the lower hem. What do you find underneath? I'm not going to ruin the surprise, but rest assured, this shirt is worth those 2 or 3 minutes of fun while waiting in that 20-minute checkout line. — Katie Bayless

Sometimes, the best thing about having two girls is being able to dress them. There is just so much cuteness to be had, and in my opinion, much cuteness is being created by Wati of Wati Designs ($17-$80).  I was instantly seduced by her bright colors, charming embroidery embellishments, and eclectic girly-girl designs.  The skirts are perfectly flouncy, the shirts frilly-yet-functional. When I saw her patterned, button-down "mariachi" shirts, I was instantly sucked in. There's nothing that brightens your day like a good "puffy shirt" on a two-and-a-half-foot-tall child. Browse her collection and you feel like you could be in Spain or India or the Caribbean.  Which is the closest thing I'm going to get to a vacation for a long time.— Stefania Pomponi Butler

There's no shame in dressing your toddler in T-shirts, but some occasions call for vintage style. And by vintage, I mean turn-of-the-century. Lil Bogies, a boutique specializing in classic looks for kids, has created the sweetest knickers sets for boys, including golf-inspired knee-length pants with matching suspenders, hat and bow tie ($42). Perfect for your upcoming Passover dinner or Easter Brunch, this ensemble brings some old-school Americana to your toddler's wardrobe. And when you're done impressing your in-laws, the knickers look great paired with a T-shirt. — Rebecca Woolf

David Brooks recently wrote an op-ed piece in the New York Times bemoaning the "hipster parent movement" and its "attitudinized" magazine, Babble.  His plea: "For God's sake, let's respect the dignity of youth."  We hereby present the first official Babble T-shirt.  Buy yours here -- for God's sake. Available in baby, kid and adult sizes. Mr. Brooks should be getting his in the mail any day now.  -- Gwynne Watkins
