From cribs to carriers, high-end baby products are in vogue

Among the whizzy gadgets unveiled in January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas was the Elvie Rise, an automated baby bouncer that transforms seamlessly into a bassinet. The device, which costs $800, sold out even before it was formally released. Parents who missed out can instead opt for a SNOO, a rival bassinet that rocks its occupant back to sleep through the night while dispensing white noise—and which costs around $1,700.
