Baby kit that brings me joy 1 (9/365)

 Babies require an awful lot of equipment to look after! However, there is a calm joy in finding exactly the right tool for the job or the system that makes stuff just work. 
 
1. The car seat that rotates 360 degrees.
Children's car seats now look like something out of Formula One. They are highly engineered to protect children in the event of a crash from any angle. They need to be able to face backwards (safest for babies) and forwards (for chatty toddlers) but we got one that can be turned 360 degrees, mainly because it is easier to lift Zoe in and out. But it also lets you can sit on the backseat when parked and talk to her!
 
The seat we bought can be used up to age 4 (subject to height and weight limits) so currently there is layer upon layer of padding!

That sounds like a technology delight! Does what you want for good reasons AND extra nice things with low/no hassle!

Car seats are great. Having grown up in cars that didn't have seat belts, and we'd ride in the 'way back' of the station wagon.
