Babies who divide their time between the French Riviera and Beverly Hills, while trying to master the subtleties of potty training and their ABCs, demand exclusive quality baby gear for play dates and preschool parties. The following baby products have enough taste and refinement to make an impression worthy of the poshest tot:

Amber Hagen Cashmere/Cotton Dinosaur Hoodie: Only $160 for blend of 20% cashmere and 80% cotton. For an extra fee, I am sure you can also buy instructions on how to get baby spit out of cashmere.

Silver Cross Balmoral Pram: This perennial celebrity favorite can be yours for just under $3k. Vroom-vroom.

Minimink Wrap: I wish these came in adult size. It would probably cost more than my car, but it definitely looks “luxurious.” Baby-sized wraps are a slightly more reasonable $120.

Of course, babies with busy social calendars need plenty of fashion options, so here are a few more great links:

• Elegant Baby
• Swanky Moms
• Baby Laundry Boutique

I am in love with Graco Travel Systems. I had the chance to take one for a test spin this weekend, and it was fantastic. I had never heard the term “travel system” before, and I thought the combination of stroller and car seat might be a bit unwieldy, but it was so easy to use and control. The 5 point harness is great for safety but also allows for easy access. With just a snap, I had a fussy 9 month old out of her seat and onto my lap. The stroller was also durable enough to withstand her big brother’s investigations, even though I thought for sure he had broken the canopy. And, when it was time to put baby in the car, the car seat detached easily, and the stroller collapsed with the push of a single button. The mom informed me that she has used the same Graco travel system with each of her three kids. Not only did it stand up to all that use, but it still looked great, thanks to easy-to-remove machine washable seat covers. I am definitely becoming a Graco fan.

I have been noticing another trend in extravagant baby gear — fantasy bedroom sets. There’s the $14,000 custom built Lighthouse Bedroom Set that doesn’t include a bed, but I bet it would look great with the $4,000 Buccaneer Bed! And let’s not forget the Princess Carriage Bed, a steal at only $4795! This House Bunk Bed absolutely frightens me, though:

I think I would feel like I was perpetually in an MRI machine if I had the bottom bed, and what is up with the baby cage on the top bunk? I get claustrophobic just looking at it.

Here’s my question: Do kids really care that much about having extravagant fantasy beds? I think the most extravagant bed I ever wanted as a child was the race car bed from Silver Spoons.

SheKnows.com has this great post on extravagant baby gear and gifts, perfect for the infant who already has everything. My favorite is the $17, 000 diamond-encrusted pacifier that is not recommended for actual use. Babies like to put things in their mouth even when those things don’t look like things that they are supposed to put in their mouth, so of course it makes perfect sense to present them with this “fabulous keepsake”. I predict a rash of highly-publicized emergency room visits in the next few years as celebrity toddlers swallow tiny pave cut white diamonds after confusing the shiny bauble for their actual pacifier. Oh well, at least TMZ will have something to talk about.
