Babe's got nothing on this pig.

Moms and dads can go crazy chanting nursery rhymes all day. This Little Piggy does it for you.

When you break into a sing-songy verse, you're doing more than just delighting and entertaining your baby. Developmental experts know that rhyming verse actually helps build a child's language and memory skills. The First Years Nursery Rhyme Pal is a darling little swine that baby won't be able to resist - and you'll feel good knowing playtime is actually learning in disguise. Press Piggy's hand and a playful voice recites "This Little Piggy" (complete with snorting sounds and giggles between verses!), while his feet light up and his legs kick and wiggle. When not activated, Piggy is a deliciously soft, sweet-faced little runt that just begs to be cuddled.

$14.99, 800-317-3194; thefirstyears.com.

This diaper-disposal system works hard so you don't have to.

Babies are adorable, but their dirty diapers definitely aren't (especially as they get older). Some diaper-disposal systems require an advanced engineering degree to operate; not the Neat! Diaper Disposal System by Safety 1st. Forget about twisting or turning. Just pull the handle up firmly into its locked position and insert the nasty nappy down through the system's plastic jaws. A quick plunge of the handle and voilà! Dirty diapers meet their demise. A unique seven-layer bag really traps in odors, and when the bag is full, snap off the used portion with the built-in blade, tie a knot in the free end and the next "bag" is ready to go.

$29.99 (refill cassettes are $4.99), 800-544-1108;safety1st.com
