A common scenario -- parents who travel with kids understand how much STUFF comes with transporting a little one. Cybex is lessening the load with the Cloud G LUX and the Melio Carbon stroller. At just 13 pounds, the Melio Carbon is the lightest full-size stroller on the market.
Pair it with an infant car seat transforming it into a lightweight luxury travel system.
The Cloud G LUX infant car seat has an ergonomic Recliner built into the shell with 45% more recline than traditional infant car seats. It also has a Bluetooth enabled SENSORSAFE chest clip that sends mobile app alerts if a child unbuckles the chest clip, if the back seat becomes too warm or too cold, and if the driver unintentionally leaves the child behind. This is a great feature for all parents and caregivers.
In addition, the one-click rigid LATCH install offers quick, simple, and safe installation in seconds while air ventilation channels in the car seat provide natural airflow to keep your child comfortable.
Price: $449.99 for LUX version with SensorSafe and Load Leg
$399.99 for base model
Cloud G LUX launches online at Cybex Wednesday 3/29

Chipolo X Ekster
Airline apps have gotten better at bag tracking, but you can keep a closer eye on your bag's location by slipping a tracker tag in your luggage. So now, you can (finally) stop losing things in hotels or restaurants and caving into the hassle of buying a new phone or AirPods in a foreign city or country. This is the #1 tip on how not to lose luggage. Those higher tax rates are no joke.

RayBan Stories Sunglasses
RayBan's classic-cool smart sunglasses are a total win with open-ear audio built in to play music only for you, will save you a pair of headphones at that, while letting you stay alert (of those pickpockets). You can also take photos and videos hands-free and stay immersed in the moment. Capture from a first-person perspective and enjoy consistently high quality content thanks to the automatic light adjustment and stereoscopic photo depth.
