STUDIO CITY (KCAL9) — Are you a new mom?

Rachel Pitzel, co-founder of Club MomMe, stopped by KCAL9 studios Thursday to show viewers the new MomMe must-haves for getting through the first month of motherhood.

Club MomMe is a community of moms, expectant parents and families that host social, educational and wellness events, classes and parties.

Here are the items Pitzel recommended:

Car Seat

•             Here in LA, families spend so much time in cars, so a good car seat is very important.

•             The Britax B-Safe car seat is very safe; it can be used from 4-30 pounds and is easy to install.

•             Retail price $179

Stroller

•             The Orbit Double Helix is one of the hottest strollers on the market, pushed by a ton of celebs and perfect for parents expecting their second.

•             You can pick your seat colors, and now you can add extra storage to the side with panniers.

•             Starts at $1,300.

Diaper bag

•             Every new mom needs a diaper bag for hauling all her stuff.
