You bought the stroller and the car seat. Now make them livable.

A stroller organizer keeps your coffee, phone and keys off the handlebar, a clip-on fan helps on hot walks, a rain cover means a drizzle doesn't end the outing, and a padded travel bag protects the car seat when you fly. Baby Bargains hand-reviewed organizers on several strollers, reviewed five fans and took rain covers out in real rain. BestReviews picked the budget organizer, a long-running fan, a weather shield and the car seat bags. There's no gear here that attaches to the car seat itself: a CPS technician writing for Babylist says to check with the car seat maker before buying any car seat accessory. Each card shows the drawback the outlet called out.

Who this is not for. Skip this if you still need the stroller or car seat itself; the New Baby Registry list has both.

Stroller organizer

Best stroller organizer

mid pick · Clip-on

Ethan & Emma Baby Stroller Organizer

Best for most strollers, including doubles

Baby Bargains' best stroller organizer and BestReviews' best of the best: two deep cup holders, a phone pocket and a drop-down bag that fits single and double handles.

Heads up. Doesn't fit ultra-compact strollers or some handles well, and the material stretches over time

2 outlets agree. Baby Bargains best stroller organizer. BestReviews best of the Best stroller organizer.

budget pick · Clip-on

Diono Buggy Buddy Stroller Organizer

Best for snacks, drinks and keys on a budget

BestReviews' best bang for the buck stroller organizer: two insulated drink holders, a big insulated waterproof compartment and small Velcro attachments that fit any stroller.

Heads up. The cup holders run a little small, and durability can be an issue, per BestReviews

J.L. Childress Cups 'N Cargo Stroller Organizer

Best for parents who carry everything

A BestReviews top pick: holds more than the typical stroller organizer, with lots of pockets and two expandable drink holders.

Heads up. The cup holders can be too small, and it tends to slide on stroller bars, per BestReviews

Rain cover

Best rain cover

budget pick · 3 sizes

Bemece Stroller Rain Cover

Best for rainy-city walks

Baby Bargains' best stroller rain cover: no leaks in its rain test, a zippered window for quick access and straps that hold it in place, plus a mosquito net.

Heads up. Doesn't fit all strollers, sizing is confusing and it's weak in wind

budget pick · Standard strollers

Dreambaby Stroller Weather Shield

Best for all-season weather on a budget

BestReviews' best bang for the buck stroller cover: a balance of moisture protection and ventilation holes, and it folds up more easily than thicker covers.

Heads up. Takes more effort to take off the stroller than some

mid pick · Standard strollers

Hrzeem Stroller Rain Cover

Best for skipping PVC

Stroller fan

Best stroller fan

budget pick · Clip-on

SkyGenius Rechargeable Baby Stroller Fan

Best for hot summer walks

Baby Bargains' best stroller fan: it ran 3 hours 53 minutes on full blast in its test, recharges with a standard micro USB cable and has a stronger clip than the others it tried.

Heads up. Fragile if dropped, and Baby Bargains says the batteries are a choking hazard, so keep the cover secure

budget pick · Tripod arms

WiHoo Mini Stroller Fan

Best for toddlers in the stroller

BestReviews' top stroller fan: the battery lasts up to 15 hours on the lowest setting, and flexible tripod arms attach to almost anything.

Heads up. An infant's fingers can fit through the guard, so BestReviews says it's best for toddlers

Questions people ask

Are car seat mirrors, protectors and covers safe?

Check with your car seat maker first. A CPS technician writing for Babylist says to find out whether the manufacturer has reviewed or approved an accessory, since seat protectors and positioning inserts often aren't approved for every seat. Harness covers should only be used if they came with the seat or are approved for your exact model, and mirrors can distract the driver and become a flying object in a crash.

Are stroller fans safe for babies?

Pick one with a sturdy guard. BestReviews says an infant's fingers can fit through the WiHoo Mini's guard, so it's best for toddlers. Baby Bargains says to keep its pick, the SkyGenius, out of reach of small fingers for newborns, and to make sure the battery cover is secure because the batteries are a choking hazard.

Is hot coffee OK in a stroller organizer?

Baby Bargains says to make sure any hot drink is in a container with a lid that closes, and to test your cups in the organizer without baby on board first. Its pick, the Ethan & Emma, has two deep cup holders but doesn't fit some handles well.
