I've written about my personal experience with newborn baby products, and as an ever-curious parent, I wanted to know what products were popular this year in .
To find out, I turned to Tamahiyo, a Japanese company that publishes information for new parents. Every year they release a list of best baby products to get as voted for by parents in Japan, and the list for is out now.
So what made the cut for the best newborn baby products in Japan in ? Let's take a look!
(These products can be found at major children's stores in Japan. To check out the ranking for best baby and toddler products, read this article.)
Best Clothing Brands for Newborn Babies in Japan
Elfindoll is a clothing brand for babies by Nishimatsuya, a popular children's clothing store in Japan. My daughter has a few Elfindoll onesies and they're so cute for the price (especially on sale!). Newborns grow so fast, which is why moms in Japan felt that this adorable yet budget-friendly clothing line was the best.
What parents in Japan like about Elfindoll clothes:
2nd Place: Akachan Honpo Original
3rd Place: Uniqlo
4th Place: Birthday
5th Place: Babies R Us
Elfindoll takes first place again in this category!
Given inflation, it's no surprise that this moved up to first place from last year since it's the most affordable brand out there. There's also lots of variety in terms of patterns and styles.
What parents in Japan like about Elfindoll's inner garments:
2nd Place: UNIQLO
3rd Place: Akachan Honpo Original
4th Place: Birthday
5th Place: Babies R Us and MIKI HOUSE
Best Diapers for Newborn Babies in Japan
My favorite diapers for my daughter have finally moved up to first place this year, and justifiably so! I gave these first place when I tested out all tape-type diapers available in Japan.
These are fragrance and paraben-free and are very soft and gentle on a newborn's sensitive skin.
What parents in Japan like about Pampers Hajimete diapers:
2nd Place: Pampers Sarasara Care
3rd Place: Merries
4th Place: Moony
5th Place: Merries First Premium
Best Wipes for Newborn Babies in Japan
These wipes ranked 4th place in my review of baby wipes in Japan but I can see why parents in Japan, including some of my friends, swear by these. In fact, it has gotten first place in this category for 11 straight years!
Although I wasn't a fan of the texture and found they dry quickly, they perform the best out of all the lower-cost wipes I looked at so the cost performance is good.
What parents in Japan like about Akachan Honpo Wipes ('99' Super Series):
2nd Place: Moony
3rd Place: Pampers
Best Strollers for Newborn Babies in Japan
Aprica's '''' series of strollers are the most popular for babies one month and up.
They come with a cushion called 'Omega' that protects your baby while they're in the stroller and keeps them nice and comfortable.
These strollers are lightweight and easy to move as well as simple to open and close. It's also quick and easy to buckle your child into the stroller using the magnetic buckle.
What parents in Japan like about the Aprica '''' Series:
2nd Place: Combi's '''' series
3rd Place: Aprica's '''' '' series
4th Place: Cybex CTP JAPAN's ''' series
5th Place: Pigeon's '''' series
I had a Combi stroller and although it was very lightweight, it was difficult at times to maneuver and was a little bulky. However, it was long-lasting and did its job for three years before I sold it on Mercari.
If I had another child, I would try Aprica's '''' series because it looks much easier to maneuver.
If you're considering getting a stroller for your newborn, I would recommend going to either Akachan Honpo, Babies R Us, or a second-hand store like Book Off to try out the strollers before buying one online (as it can be cheaper to get strollers off of sites like Amazon or Rakuten).
Best Car Seats for Newborn Babies in Japan
Combi's ''''' series comes in first place for this year's best car seat. We had one as well and it did an excellent job for 3.5 years.
Our daughter is bigger now and when she reached 14 kilograms, she upgraded to a Junior Seat.
(I'm going to be real here, my kid puked multiple times in the Combi car seat but there were no stains remaining after we cleaned it!)
What parents in Japan like about Combi's ''''' series :
2nd Place: Combi's THE S series
3rd Place: Aprica's '''' series
4th Place: Nishimatsuya's Smart Angel series
5th Place: Aprica's ''''' ''' series
Best Carriers for Newborn Babies in Japan
This may come as no surprise to some of you but Ergobaby made it to the top of the list as the best baby carrier.
Since Japanese summers are getting quite hot, it's no wonder parents like this version of the Ergobaby carrier that keeps babies nice and cool.
We have an Omni 360 and my husband loves it. I found it easy to use as well but as I'm quite short in stature, I found it to be a bit too bulky for me when my daughter was a newborn. However, it was perfect when my daughter was a toddler and I was able to easily carry her around.
Since I'm quite small, I had to stop using a baby carrier when my daughter reached 15 kg and 100 cm because she's too big! As with everything else my daughter outgrew, I was able to sell my Ergo on Mercari.
What parents in Japan like about Ergobaby carriers:
2nd Place: Aprica's Koala
3rd Place: Baby Bjorn HARMONY
4th Place: Konny FLEX
5th Place: Combi '''' EL-E
Best Bottle Sterilizers for Newborn Babies in Japan
I was excited to see that the Combi microwave sterilizer that I used when my daughter was a baby is still ranked as the best this year.
It's affordable, easy to use, and compact. However, you need to be careful when using this as if you place it into a microwave oven that's still hot from the oven function, the container or the items inside might melt. (It would be nice if they made it in other colors too.)
What parents in Japan like about Combi microwave sterilizers:
2nd Place: Pigeon's microwave sterilizer
3rd Place: Betta's microwave sterilizer
Milton CP made it to the top for the best sterilizing solution. I used this once when I went to a ryokan with my daughter when she was 6 months old and I was not a fan.
I found it messy and hard to use, not to mention I didn't feel great submerging my daughter's bottles into a chemical solution. The solution also has an expiry date and I imagine it's an added expense to buy. However, you can sterilize a lot of things at a time, including toys.
What parents in Japan like about Milton CP:
2nd Place: Pigeon's'''''
3rd Place: Pigeon's Bottle Disinfectant
Best Bottles for Newborn Babies in Japan
I'm not surprised to see this at the top of the list as the best bottle for infants. Out of all the ones I tried, this type of bottle by Pigeon was the only one that my daughter could drink easily from.
They also didn't leak, were durable, easy to clean, as well as cost-effective.
What parents in Japan like about Pigeon bottles:
2nd Place: Pigeon's Slim Type Bottle
3rd Place: teteo's '''''' bottle
Best Skin Cream for Newborn Babies in Japan
I received many samples of these when I was pregnant and I liked how gentle it was on my daughter's skin but I could only spring for a travel set (which I continue to buy for visits to the in-laws with my daughter) because it is quite expensive.
The price, however, reflects the quality. I would say try out the travel set before committing to spending your yen on a full-size product.
What parents in Japan like about Mama&Kids Baby Milky Cream:
2nd Place: Pigeon Baby Cream
3rd Place: SOLIA's ALOBABY Cream
Best Lotion for Newborn Babies in Japan
As with the Mama&Kids Baby Milky Cream mentioned earlier, I got samples of this lotion as well when I was pregnant and quite liked it. This is also included in the travel set that I currently use and recommend.
What parents in Japan like about Mama&Kids Baby Milky Lotion:
2nd Place: Pigeon Baby Milk Lotion
3rd Place: Atopia Full Body Moisturizing Milky Lotion
Best Vaseline for Newborn Babies in Japan
I used Baby Vaseline on my daughter when she was a newborn. It was very cheap but gentle and kept her skin protected from dryness and rashes, so it's no wonder parents in Japan love this product the most when it comes to vaselines for babies.
I also liked how it's a tube so you're not contaminating the remaining product when you use it.
What parents in Japan like about Baby Vaseline:
2nd Place: Daiichi Sankyo's '''' ''''''
3rd Place: '''' White Petrolatum
Best Bathtub for Newborn Babies in Japan
This is an adorable inflatable baby bathtub. The cute bear serves as the perfect support for your baby's head, neck, and back. It also has a built-in air pump!
If you don't have very much room in your house, this is also great because it's inflatable, so you can deflate it and store it if you want to keep it for Baby #2 or if you want to take it with you somewhere.
What parents in Japan like about Richell's baby bathtub:
2nd Place: Nishimatsuya's Smart Angel Soft Baby Bath
3rd Place: People's LaccoHug
Best Bath Additive for Newborn Babies in Japan
This bath additive (''') is a liquid that you pour into your baby's bath to wash them. It's meant to be gentle on the skin and there's no need to rinse it off as it will help prevent your baby's skin from drying out. It's also hypoallergenic.
I never used this on my daughter as, at the time, I didn't like the idea of pouring something into her bath and not rinsing it off of her. But if I had another child, I think I would try it out as it seems easier to use than foam-type soap, which you have to pump onto the cloth repeatedly while you wash your child.
What parents in Japan like about Skina Babe:
2nd Place: Pigeon Baby Bath Additive
Best Bar-Type Baby Soap for Newborn Babies in Japan
Although I know of Kewpie, I have never heard of this soap before. But apparently, it's a popular one with parents in Japan as it's their favorite for baby soaps! It's hypoallergenic and gentle as it doesn't strip their skin of natural oils.
What parents in Japan like about Kewpie Baby Soap:
2nd Place: Koshinsha Cow Brand Red Box
3rd Place: Pigeon Baby Soap
Best Foam-Type Baby Soap for Newborn Babies in Japan
I used this soap on my daughter when she was a newborn and it never irritated her skin as it's free of fragrances as well as paraben-free.
What parents in Japan like about Pigeon Baby Soap:
2nd Place: Kewpie Baby Foam Soap
3rd Place: arau baby
Best Crib Brand for Newborn Babies in Japan
I used an Ikea crib for my daughter as I wanted something that could transition into a toddler bed. But when it comes to the best crib brand in Japan for , parents voted for Aprica (which was in second place last year)! In particular, they seem to love the Coconel series. Since COVID restrictions have eased, it seems like families are more out and about so being able to easily take the crib places seems to have moved it to first place!
What parents in Japan like about Aprica:
2nd Place: Katoji
3rd Place: Yamatoya
Best Futon Brand for Newborn Babies in Japan
I swaddled my daughter and kept her in a crib free of any blankets, stuffed animals, etc., in an effort to prevent SIDS. However, Japanese parents have been placing their newborns in futon sets with comforters for years. (My mother-in-law couldn't wrap her head around swaddling but she let me do my thing.)
Nishimatsuya futon sets are popular with parents this year thanks to their low cost and high quality. They're made of cotton and come in cute designs as well.
What parents in Japan like about Nishimatsuya baby futons:
2nd Place: Nishikawa
3rd Place: Akachan Honpo
4th Place: Sandesica
5th Place: Nitori & Babies R Us
Best Bouncer for Newborn Babies in Japan
I never used a bouncer for my daughter because I already had a high-low chair but I know many parents who swear by this.
What parents in Japan like about Baby Bjorn bouncers:
2nd Place: Nishimatsuya
3rd Place: Richell
Best High Low Chair/Rocker for Newborn Babies in Japan
I had a Combi high low chair for my daughter, which was helpful when she was a newborn as I could put her inside and it would automatically rock and usually calm her down. I could also select different kinds of music to play.
My daughter didn't like being strapped down, though, so I had to just watch her like a hawk when she was inside.
I ended up selling it on Mercari when she started solids because I found it took up too much room and I didn't want to wash the padding constantly if she spilled something on it. (Cleaning the Ingenuity chair was much easier for me.)
But for parents (and kids!) who don't mind these things, this is a great product that you can use for a long time.
What parents in Japan like about Combi Nemulila:
2nd Place: Aprica's ''''' series
3rd Place: Katoji Swing High Low Rack series
Best Grocery Delivery Service
I was surprised to see this included in the list but it makes sense! As mentioned in my review of Co-op's delivery service, having groceries delivered to you is so helpful when you have a newborn.
And when you don't have any time to cook (which is often with a newborn), Co-op has meal-kits that make having a hot meal at home a cinch. I honestly wish I had known about grocery delivery services like Co-op and Pal System before my daughter was born!
Co-op also offers some nice extras if you have a newborn or a young child, like free baby food.

If your little one is ever going to be in a car, they need one of the best car seats. We've purchased the seats and had them professionally crash-tested to give you all the information to find a great car seat that fits your budget and meets your goals.
The best infant car seats are our go-to for safely transporting little ones in moving vehicles. We like that they are designed specifically with little bodies in mind instead of trying to meet the needs of babies from birth to 2-3 years old when so much growth and change occurs.

Best Car Seat with High Stroller Compatiblity
Convertible car seats are best when your baby outgrows their infant seat around 9 months old (see your manual). They are called convertible because they sit backward at first and convert forwards after a certain age or size is reached by your child.

Moving around town and getting out and about with your little one is significantly easier with a transportation device. If you want something with wheels, we've got what you need. From the best jogging strollers to the best strollers for running errands, we've tested them all and recommend our favorite award winners here.
The best full-size strollers are the everyday choice that you are probably familiar with. While useful, they aren't 100% necessary, depending on your lifestyle or goals.
