Celeb-approved parenting buys, from Michelle Keegan's pram to Princess Eugenie's baby carrier

Daily Mirror25-04-2025

Being a parent in the public eye means every detail - from outfit choices to pram picks - is under scrutiny. And when it comes to baby gear, celebrity parents aren't just going for function.
They're picking items that are luxurious, stylish, and Instagram-worthy. Whether they're being papped on the school run or sharing tender moments at home on social media, stars are turning baby essentials into full-blown fashion statements.
From the pushchair of choice for Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright's newborn, to the high chair that's earned a place in Royal kitchens, these brands have become the go-to for modern parenting with a side of glamour. Whether you're expecting, gifting, or just a fan of celebrity style, these are the baby buys that stars are loving right now.
1. Artipoppe Baby Carrier – The luxe sling you've seen everywhere
When it comes to celebrity baby gear, there's one item that's got everyone talking - and we're not just talking about mums here. The Artipoppe Zeitgeist baby carrier has become the parenting accessory for A-listers, royals, and new parents everywhere, reports the Mirror. It's kind of like the Chanel handbag of the baby world - ridiculously pretty, not exactly cheap and instantly recognisable.
This baby carrier has been seen on everyone from Gigi Hadid and Kylie Jenner to Emily Ratajkowski, Chrissy Teigen and even Princess Eugenie. It's safe to say this carrier has serious star power. If you've been scrolling Instagram wondering how these celebs are managing to look effortlessly stylish while wearing a baby, nine times out of ten it's because they're rocking one of these.
So what's the big deal? Well, first of all, they're stunning. With bold prints, luxury fabrics (yes, even cashmere and silk) and designs that look more fashion runway than nursery aisle, it's easy to see why they're a top choice. The carrier comes in a whole rainbow of prints - leopard, houndstooth, and chic muted tones - and prices range from around £300 to upwards of £3,000 for the really luxe versions. Not exactly budget-friendly, but if the reviews are anything to go by, definitely worth splashing out on.
But it's not just a pretty face. The Zeitgeist is actually super practical too. It's designed to support your baby in all the right places and it's comfy for you as well - something that's surprisingly hard to find in the babywearing world. You can wear your little one facing in, out, or on your back, and the adjustable straps mean it grows with them (and with you - no one tells you how often you'll be switching between outfits and post-baby body stages!). Even better? Loads of mums rave about how easy it is to breastfeed in.
Shop the Zeitgeist baby carrier for £370
2. iCandy Peach 7 Coco Pushchair – Michelle Keegan's pram of choice
Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright recently took their newborn for a city stroll in style. The actress was seen pushing the new iCandy Peach 7 in 'Coco' – a luxurious shade from the brand's latest collection. With its rose gold chassis and soft cocoa-toned fabrics, this pram is turning heads. The Peach 7 is known for its smooth manoeuvrability, puncture-proof tyres, and single-to-double conversion. It's not just pretty – it's practical too.
It's also a Royal favourite, with Zara Tindall and the Beckhams among previous iCandy fans. Whether you're navigating country lanes or high streets, this is the stroller to be seen with. Plus, there's a reason it's been called the 'Ferarri of the pram world'!
Shop The Peach 7 Coco Pushchair and Carrycot for £1,199
3. AEIOU Bib – Minimalist chic for the teeniest trendsetters
Fashion-forward parenting is all in the details - and AEIOU silicone bibs are proof. These soft organic cotton bibs in neutral, modern tones have become a hit among stylish celeb mums, with the likes of Millie Mackintosh and Vogue Williams. Functional enough for dribble and mealtimes but cute enough to make the outfit, these bibs prove you don't have to sacrifice style for mess control. Sadly, AEIOU bibs are US-only, but you can pick up soft, silicone bibs like these on Amazon here in the UK.
Grab the PandaEar 3 Pack Silicone Bibs for £9.95
4. Sophie la Girafe – The teether that's basically a celeb
No celeb baby roundup would be complete without Sophie la Girafe. This adorable little teething toy has become a nursery staple worldwide. Crafted from natural rubber and food-safe paint, Sophie has been loved by everyone from Prince George to Chrissy Teigen's daughter Luna. She's safe, she squeaks, and she's perfectly sized for tiny hands - no wonder she's found in nearly every A-list baby bag.

5. Skip Hop Black Mainframe Backpack – Stylish, sleek and dad-friendly
Parenting gear doesn't get much cooler than this. The Skip Hop Mainframe backpack in chic black is the nappy bag of choice for practical parents who want to stay organised and stylish. It's roomy, structured, and easy to carry - no wonder celeb dads like Ryan Reynolds and Sophie Turner have been seen sporting similar styles. The unisex design also makes it a favourite for sharing between parents.

6. Stokke Tripp Trapp High Chair – The seat that grows with them
Forget everything you thought you knew about high chairs - the Tripp Trapp is a game-changer. This ingenious wooden seat, designed by Norwegian brand Stokke, grows with your child from newborn to teenager.
Meghan Markle reportedly chose one for Archie, and it's easy to see why: it's stylish, space-saving, and ergonomically designed. Other celeb fans include Joe Wicks, Kim Kardashian and Chrissy Teigen. And let's not forget, it perfectly complements a Scandi-chic kitchen.

'I found out I'm related to Will Young after watching his TV show'

The Pop Idol winner discovered on this week's episode of BBC1's Who Do You Think You Are? that he is related to King Edward I and William the Conquerer - so Mirror man Matt decided to dig into his ancestors too As if Will Young didn't already have reason to be smug, the Pop Idol and two-time Brit Award winner now has something else he can boast about - he's related to royalty. Specifically, King Edward I, his 20-times great-grandfather. Oh, and William the Conquerer too. ‌ The singer found out about his kingly lineage filming this week's episode of BBC1 's Who Do You Think You Are? And he's not the only celebrity who, besides being blessed with success, can also add royal blood to their claims to fame. ‌ Josh Widdecombe is another, having learned he's also directly descended from Edward I. Before him there was Danny Dyer, who discovered his ancestors include King Edward III, William the Conquerer and French king Louis IX. Then there's Matthew Pinsent – four-time Olympic gold medallist and, it turns out, also related to Edward I, William the Conqueror and one of Henry VIII's wives. What is it about being a celebrity, I wondered, that makes you more likely to have royal relatives? Knowing Will was going to be the latest to fill me with jealousy, I set out to find out if mere mortals like me had any remotely interesting ancestors. In my case, the chances of even finding anyone slightly aristocratic in my family tree seemed pretty bleak. Will was already born with a silver spoon in his mouth, a boarding school boy whose dad was a company director and whose grandad was an RAF flight lieutenant. ‌ Most of the relatives I knew about, on the other hand, were proud yet poor Nottinghamshire coal miners and their wives. Still, I set up an account on FindMyPast and added the names of the relatives I knew about over the last 150 years. As the site suggested potential matches based on birth, marriage, baptism and census records, I gradually worked my way back around 12 generations to the mid-1600s. Alas, what I discovered only confirmed my suspicions. My family were paupers, not princes – grafters who toiled for centuries in coal mines, stables, forges and along canals. ‌ My great-grandfather, I discovered, was a coal miner loader who had worked his way up to coal hewer - hacking coal from the mine bed by hand, hundreds of metres underground - just like his father and grandfather before him. Earlier still were nailmakers, boatmen, stonemasons and stablemen. Almost all lived and died in Derbyshire, Yorkshire or Lancashire. We were clearly the servants, not the masters. I had more in common with Baldrick than Blackadder. ‌ But just as I was about to give up, I stumbled on something unexpected. In the late 1500s, Derbyshire man William Gilbert, my 13th great-grandfather, married Anne Clere - and into a well-known family. The Cleres, it turned out, were an ancient family from Norfolk whose patriarch, Sir Robert Clere, was the High Sheriff of Norfolk and known for his great wealth. Anne's father, Sir Edward Clere, was an MP, but apparently not a very articulate one when speaking in the House of Commons. One diarist wrote how he made '"a staggering [stumbling] speech… I could not understand what reason he made.' ‌ He was knighted in 1578 after having Queen Elizabeth I stay over at his home in Thetford, Norfolk, when he entertained her with a theatrical performance and jousting. Fascinated that my family was at least good friends with royalty, I kept digging. Edward's father was Sir John Clere, an MP and naval commander who drowned in August 1557 when his fleet tried to conquer the Orkney Islands, but was beaten back to sea by 3,000 angry islanders. ‌ But it was her mother, Alice Boleyn, my 14th great-grandmother, whose name jumped out at me. Sure enough, as I followed the tree, her niece was none other than Anne Boleyn, Queen of England until she was beheaded in 1533 by Henry VIII - and the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. I was astounded - that makes me Elizabeth I's first cousin, 16 times removed. On the other side of the Clere family, however, things were taking a more sinister - but no less fascinating - turn. ‌ Sir John Clere's wife, Anne Tyrell, also had royal connections, it turned out, but ones that probably changed the line of succession forever. On her father's side, her grandfather was Sir James Tyrell, a trusted servant of Richard III, who allegedly confessed to the murders of the Princes in the Tower under Richard's orders. ‌ James is also portrayed in Shakespeare's Richard III. I was astounded - I studied the play at school and had no idea I was reading about my 17th great-grandfather. Treason and treachery, it seems, ran in the family. His father William was beheaded on Tower Hill in 1462 for plotting against King Edward IV. William's father, Sir John Tyrell of Heron, was High Sheriff of Essex and Hertfordshire and knight of Essex, and three times Speaker of the House of Commons. That my 19th great-grandfather basically once ruled Essex is something I won't be letting people forget in Stansted, where I now live. ‌ But it was also through Anne Tyrell's mother's side that I found something even more astonishing. As I followed her line, the names began to get more and more aristocratic, through the Willoughbys, De Welles, Greystokes and Longsprees, until I found…. My 26th great-grandfather, King Henry II. His father was Geoffrey Plantagenet of Anjou and his grandfather, King Henry I. And Henry's father? No other than William the Conquerer - my 29th great-grandfather. And perhaps even more bizarrely, that would make Will Young my 9th cousin, 9 times removed. I'll be inviting him round for tea next week. ‌ Genealogists will tell me to calm down - apparently there are about five million people who are descended from William the Conquerer. Establishing myself as the true heir to the British throne could certainly be tricky. But just being as special as Will, Danny Dyer and Matthew Pinsent is enough for me. And not bad for the son of Nottinghamshire nailmakers, stablemen and coal miners. ‌ How to trace your family tree on Findmypast: Register for a free Findmypast account and create your tree.
