New Haven (WTNH) - Celebrity trend expert Rachel Florio joined Good Morning Connecticut Weekend once again to show us what's hot for tots this spring and summer.
"Keeping it green with eco-friendly products seems to be more than just a trend these days," Rachel said.
Here is a brief description of the brands that Rachel showed us today:

Not only protective and practical for mealtime, bibbies are a chic baby accessory for all the "dilly dallying" in your child's life. Bibbies can be used as a drool bib, feeding time, art time or as a fashion accessory.
Jazzy Toes ' goal is to provide unique and stylish products for both boys and girls, while expanding the range and selection for boys. Each design comes with a unique style for both boys and girls.
