    I'm Not Trying To Be Dramatic, But You *Need* These 21 Parenting Products If You Have A Baby Or Toddler

    From baby food makers to bath scoops.

    1. A snack and drink holder that you can clip to your kid's stroller, high chair, car seat, or pretty much anywhere else. It has a cupholder for their bottle, plus a snack pod with a no-spill lid that'll keep their treats from tumbling out.

    2. A bath toy organizer so your tot's collection of rubber duckies, floating farm animals, and other thingamajigs won't collect around the rim of your tub. Reviewers say it's suction power is super impressive (like, some haven't even had to adjust it in months) and love that the basket is made of mesh, so excess water doesn't build up inside.

    3. A cushy car seat insert that'll keep your bébé comfy while you're travelling. It has extra padding around their head, shoulders, and torso to keep them in the perfect position, and, when your baby grows, you can remove the inner cushion to free up some extra space.

    6. A clip-on star light if your kid is not a fan of snoozing in the dark. It has an adjustable gooseneck (so you can swerve and curve it any way you want) and four brightness settings that'll help you get the ambiance just right for their nap.

    8. A hooded towel made of bamboo fibre that'll come in handy after bath time. Now you won't have to wrap and swaddle you little one in a giant terrycloth towel – just pop this on their head and they'll be good to go.

    11. A toddler eating set that comes with a catchall bib, a divided plate, and utensils — all made of baby-safe silicone. The plate even has a suction base, so you won't need to worry about you kid throwing around their dishware while you're pleading with them to eat their greens.

    14. A travel potty seat that'll make your little one feel more comfortable doing their business on any porcelain throne. Reviewers love that it attaches with suction cups (so it won't wiggle around) and that it folds up small enough to fit in a purse.

    15. A Skip Hop activity centre that your kid can grow with. When they're a tiny tot, they can use it as a jumper, and when they get a little older, it can be converted into a table for drawing and craft projects — how fun?

    16. A car seat mirror that'll give you a better view of your baby when you're cruisin'. It has an adjustable strap (no bouncing here!) and it can be adjusted in any and every direction so you'll be able to choose the angle that suits you best.
