Becoming a parent is an incredible adventure, filled with moments of joy, love and... a few sleepless nights haha. Between the cuddles and the naps, you will see that certain equipment can really make a difference for the comfort of your baby and yours!
To help you navigate this new stage of your life, we have prepared a list of our favorite products to welcome your newborn home with complete peace of mind.
So, sit back, grab a coffee (or tea), and let us walk you through our must-haves for a mini-ready home!
1. The deckchair
Ergonomic, the bouncer offers a perfect balance between comfort and stimulation for mini while freeing your hands. A must! Easy to move, it keeps baby close to you and safe anywhere in the house. Fun fact: the bouncer can even be beneficial for the social and emotional development of toddlers since it allows them to participate in the rhythm of family life.
Babybjörn’s Bouncer Bliss
This is THE favorite of Andréanne, the owner and founder of C&C. It is compact, offers 3 reclining positions and does not require any batteries since it gently rocks thanks to baby's natural movements. Pssst! The Bouncer Bliss even transforms into a toddler chair and can therefore be used until your little one reaches 29 lbs. How cool!

Charlie Crane's Levo
The Levo is definitely the most stylish deckchair there is! Its solid beech wood design and its magnificent organic cotton seat match absolutely any decor. No wonder it has been one of our customers' favorites for several years now!
Pro tip: add the play arch to stimulate the senses and encourage your little one's motor and cognitive development.

2. The baby carrier
Super practical, the baby carrier offers a range of benefits for both baby and parents. In newborns, it helps stimulate cognitive and socio-emotional development by allowing them to observe their environment at adult height and encourages physical development by strengthening the muscles of their neck and back, which contributes to better tone.
For parents, the baby carrier reduces stress, improves posture by distributing the baby's weight evenly and, of course, keeps their hands free!
But above all, the baby carrier promotes attachment and the emotional bond between parent and child thanks to constant physical contact. Truly an essential!
The Embrace by Ergobaby
The Embrace is our favorite for staying cozy at home (seriously, it feels like you're wearing pajamas)! It's the best skin-to-skin feel pre-shaped baby carrier. What makes it our all-time bestseller? Its great value, comfortable stretchy waistband and crisscross straps, and ease of use.

The Mushie baby carrier
Made with super soft and breathable organic cotton, this wrap is perfect for bonding with your baby. We love: its universal fit for a personalized experience and its built-in pocket for easy storage and carrying!
3. The park
Perfect for nap time, play time, and on the go, a playpen is a must-have for providing a safe space for your little one. It allows them to play alone for a while, which promotes their independence and ability to entertain themselves without constant adult help. And if you have multiple children, a playpen is ideal for safely observing and interacting with siblings. We love it!
The Bugaboo Stardust
All-in-one design (no assembly required), ultra-light, folds and unfolds in no time; the Stardust is always charming! Bonus: in “newborn crib” mode, it is approved by Health Canada to sleep in all night! Perfect for visits to grandma and grandpa!
The Swift from Maxi-Cosi
Just like the Stardust, the Swift playpen is a 3-in-1 playpen! Sturdy, it is super easy to use and is wonderfully transportable thanks to its one-handed assembly and disassembly. The Swift folds very compactly. A must for small spaces and full car trunks!
