We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A Graco convertible car seat that can literally grow with them. No need to invest in a totally new carseat every time they hit a growth spurt. It functions as both a rear-facing seat and a front-facing seat and has up to 5 inches of extendable legroom!
This seat also has six different recline positions and 10 different headrest positions. The 2-in-1 style can support both rear-facing (4–50 pounds) and front-facing (22–65 pounds) options. The 3-in-1 style also offers both rear- and front-facing capabilities as well as a highback booster option and can support children 40–100 pounds.
Promising review: "This is a great carseat! I love it. I have both my 3-year-old and 1-year-old in it. One is rear facing and the other forward facing. They both love their seats and are always comfortable. Their heads never fall forward while sleeping either. We were recently in a rollover accident at 70 miles per hour with our boys in this brand of carseat. Neither of them were injured at all! I will never own another brand of seat." —FultonWife
Get it from Amazon for $234.97+ (available in two styles and eight colors).
2. A TikTok-famous grape cutter since these round fruits need to be sliced for young kids but cutting them up with a knife is tedious (and lowkey dangerous). This device will make prepping grapes for snack time easy and fun!
Promising reviews: "Who buys a grape cutter? Well, a working mom with a toddler! This makes lunch prep so quick and easy!! I recommend to every parent I meet!! 🤗" —Danielle
"A mama’s best friend!! This makes my life so much easier, eases my mind sending grapes in my kids’ lunch, and saves me so much time!!" —Kaitlin
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
3. Baby cup catchers if you want to secure your little one's sippy cup or bottle and prevent it from hitting the germ-y floor. This attaches around their drinking vessel and clips right to their high chair or stroller so you won't have to worry about leaving their bottle behind (or it getting gross for that matter). You can also use it for toys, teethers, and plushies.
Promising review: "I love this bottle holder! Toddlers throw everything and with this product attached to the bottle and strapped to a high chair for example, you don’t have to get up to pick up the bottle. Not the best articulation but you get the idea right? #mombrain" —Randi
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99 (available in seven colors).
4. A Smily Mia penguin pacifier they can be responsible for hanging onto since it'll stay put on their teeny tiny hand. Having to pick up germy pacifiers? A thing of the past.
Promising reviews: "OMG! This has been a lifesaver for my now-6-month-old daughter. She absolutely refuses to take any type of pacifier since she was born but she loves this thing. Easy for her to hold and now is a great teether toy as well." —Heather
"My daughter is 3 months old and has finally mastered using the penguin on her own! She doesn’t always hold the bar and it slips down her arm at times, but she loves this thing! It’s been a lifesaver in the car when we can’t get to her and she is able to use the penguin to self soothe as an alternative to her hand if she wants!" —Kelsey Kraxberger
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight colors and as a two-pack).
5. A fluffy Fisher-Price otter with a heartbeat that will soothe your lil' one right to sleep. They can also cuddle with it sans heartbeat for a cozy plush bed buddy. But why is this the cutest thing?!
Promising review: "This truly has been a game changer for my baby’s sleeping routine. My baby falls sleep so much quicker (within 15 minutes) than before and when she wakes up middle of night and crying, if I turn this on, she quickly fall back to sleep. I should have gotten this earlier. Best product I ever purchased on Amazon!" —Jina Kim
Get it from Amazon for $31.73 (available in three other styles).
6. Genius toy hammocks you can place in their playroom or bedroom for efficient toy cleanup. All those stuffed animals they have...can just get easily stored in these!
Promising review: "Best $10 spent ever! I had three overflowing totes of stuffed animals in my son's room. With these I was able to free up a whole section of his room. Wish I would have bought sooner; they're so handy! They held waaay more weight than I expected. Love!!! —Stormy
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.97 (available in six colors).
7. A pack of silicone pouch lids to turn any pouch into a glorified bottle. These also have lids so if they don't finish you can save it for later. Stress less about messes all over your furniture, carpets, and their outfits — these make eating soft foods way neater.
ChooMee is a mom-owned small biz based in Northern California that specializes in innovative products that solve everyday feeding challenges.
Promising reviews: "I am OBSESSED. I saw these on a TikTok and ran to Amazon...so glad I did! My toddler loves yogurt/applesauce pouches but started purposely dumping and squeezing the contents out. But these make it absolutely impossible for her to do that without making it difficult to eat! I tested them, and it’s SO easy to drink out of, but I was unable to squeeze anything out. 10/10 recommend. I’m definitely buying more" —Amanda
"These are amazing! I bought two sets of them so I can keep some in our diaper bag (or in case we lose one). We use these every single day for our 12-month-old with her yogurt (GoGo squeeZ) and her fruit and veggie pouches! Seriously, love them. We previously had yogurt/fruit all over because she would squeeze them. My husband accidentally stepped on the pouch with this on, and it still didn't squeeze out! Once your baby figures it out (ours did quickly), it's a game changer. I tried the pouch holders with the handles, but she just swung it around, and it still spilled out. This is what you want!" —Shem Slater
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five color combos).
8. An all-terrain stroller wagon you can push or pull the kiddos in as you embark on your next adventure. This can work on pavement, sand, dirt, and more! It has great storage for all their necessities and movable canopies to shield them from the sun.
The movable canopies feature UPF-50 protection! This wagon is suitable for children ages 6 months to 5 years.
Promising review: "I took this baby out for a hike the other day for the first time and it did amazing! It’s exactly what I needed! It went through three miles of gravel/sand/mud/and grass just fine! My favorite feature is the handle bar and how it switches from push to pull and back so easily! It made whenever we had to go uphill much easier because I was able to pull it instead of trying to push! I also brought a thick blanket along to put in the section where the kids feet go so my toddler was able to lay down and take a nap half way through our hike and she stayed asleep for the remainder — so obviously it was comfortable enough for her. All around I’m VERY HAPPY with this purchase and would highly recommend! I was worried about spending so much but it's definitely worth it." —Katelyn Lamping
Get it from Amazon for $343.49 (available in three colors).
9. A pack of sink extenders because they can't quite reach the faucet just yet. These are a nice positive nudge in the right direction for them to be self-sufficient and wash their hands. Now ya don't have to lift them up every single time.
Promising reviews: "So easy to use and a game changer for little ones. Doesn't allow water to go backwards. Can configure to ANY faucet head." —MTtummy
"Must have for toddlers and small children! LOVE this! My 1- and 3-year-old love washing their hands now and my back gets a nice break. Adding the faucet extenders and a stepstool to our bed time/morning routine has been a godsend. Great bargain for the price." —TeaBea21
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95.
10. A Tiny Twinkle full-sleeved bib — a perfect, machine-washable must-have if a bib doesn't really cut it when it comes to mealtime. This will help you (and them) avoid getting their OOTD covered in food.
Tiny Twinkle is a small biz based in Phoenix that creates high-quality, safe products for babies, children, and parents.
Promising reviews: "My son could win an award for being the messiest eater. I honestly don’t mind the mess but this bin is a whole game changer!! Clean up is quick and it’s easy to wash — toss in the washer and boom. It fastens well and fits my son perfectly. I love it!." —Autumn
"Mealtime game changer. Completely covers my 14-month-old while she’s eating and saves her clothes from stains. Wish I had thought to look for this sooner." —Charles Hess
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 27 colors and in two sizes).
11. A gently weighted sleep sack so your bébé can have a relaxing night's sleep and as a result...you. If you have a weighted blanket yourself, then you know how magical it is and your lil' babe will think so too.
This is lightly weighted in the chest area that mimics the feel of your hand on their chest. It's filled with nontoxic poly beads and made from 100% breathable cotton.
Promising review: "Well worth $$ if you value your sleep. This has been a game changer! Our newborn was waking up every two hours during the night, meaning mommy was getting sleep in about one-hour increments. We ordered this and we’re now only getting up twice during the night to feed and he falls back asleep much faster. Definitely recommend!" —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $41.99 (available in sizes 0–24 months and 15 colors and prints).
12. A bed rail in case you're working on moving them up from their crib to a big kid bed and want to ensure their safety throughout the night. For peace of mind, invest in this. You won't be sorry.
Promising review: "This is a lifesaver literally and figuratively speaking LOL. We are first-time parents and made the biggest mistake of bringing our 1-year-old to our bed when she would wake up in the middle of the night two to three times. We wake up early and just decided to bring her to bed with us. Now she no longer wants to sleep in her crib SMH. She is a wild sleeper and fell from our bed twice. I immediately got my phone to order this online. We absolutely LOVE it!!!!!!! We don't have to keep waking up to see if she is near the edge of the bed or anything like that. These bed rails are long (wish they were longer) and of excellent quality! I have woken up and she is literally right on the edge and the rail is keeping her from falling. She weighs 26 pounds. Good quality and strong enough to hold a restless sleeper!!" —Pseudopod
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three sizes and a multi-pack).
13. An Itzy Ritzy adjustable stroller organizer so while you take your daily stroll with your tinies, you can ensure all of your necessities are also with you. Keep your phone, wallet, keys, and power pack stored beautifully in this chic organizer.
Itzy Ritzy is a small biz owned by parents of three babes that specializes in creating safe, stylish parenting gear.
Promising review: "Wow this was a stroller game changer! I have the Britax B-Agile and there is no place to put any mama stuff! When I came across Itzy Ritzy I knew this would be perfect! It is beautiful, made so well, and will do with anything! I love that there are two cup holders and a zipper pocket! Love love love!" —Katie F
Get it from Amazon for $18.75+ (available in seven colors).
14. A pack of diaper booster pads to make their diaper *extra* absorbent so you can fret less about leaks in the middle of the night. If getting these means you don't have to change their sheets every day, then they're absolutely worth it.
Promising review: "Oh my goodness these are a LIFESAVER. My 2-year-old pees a lot overnight and was leaking through his overnight diapers every night. His pants would get soaked and I would have to change him in the middle of the night or feel horrible letting him sleep in his own pee. Then I read about these booster pads so I thought I'd give them a try. It totally worked. My kid doesn't leak through any more. I would definitely recommend this for heavy night wetters." —Christine
Get a three-pack (90 pads total) from Amazon for $32.99.
15. A pack of toilet seat covers for keeping handy whenever you're on the go and want to keep your kiddos safe from those germ-infested public toilet seats (YUCK).
Promising review: "If you're a germaphobe like myself, this is a must have in your diaper bag. The thought of placing my son or daughter on a public toilet with only a seat liner is disturbing especially since they're both little and still hold onto the toilet seat for support when peeing/pooping. These cover the toilet completely and even cover the lower part of the toilet where dangling legs and pants/skirts touch. My only complaint about these is that they are not flushable. It's difficult trying to gather the liner up (they are rather large) without touching the toilet or the possibly wet liner (because it partially fell in the water) and then scrunching it up to fit into a sanitary napkin bin. Other than that, these are great. Also, I don't use the adhesive strips at all since I have two little ones that usually need to go right away so we don't have the time to remove the adhesive backing. I usually just place the liner on the toilet and then carefully plop my kid on top and all's well." —Ting
Get a pack of 24 covers from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in an XL size).
16. A sleep-training alarm clock if one of your goals for the forseeable future is teaching them to be "successful" at bedtime. This clock has a sound machine and utilizes different colors to symbolize going to sleep and waking up. Something tells me adults need this too (LOL).
Promising review: "This was a lifesaver!!! My 4-year-old was getting up at 5:30 and we could not convince him to go back to bed. We found this clock and we're amazed at the results. My son loves it! He gets so excited when it turns green and he can get out of bed, or when he wakes up and it is green. It seems to have helped train him to sleep in longer. It is easy to set up. Our only complaint is the light from the indicator (red, yellow, green) is soooo bright. We tip the clock on its face so his room does not light up. He can still see the color, so it's fine. But I do wish we could dim it. Don't let this stop you from getting it though, it was worth every penny!" —JW
Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in four colors).
17. A Frida Baby snot sucker that may have you thinking Ew, what in the world? But it's key in helping you clear their nose passageways if they're stuffed up.
Watch this parent clear up their baby's stuffy nose with this tool on TikTok.
Just place the large tube against their nostril (not inside), and then use the red mouthpiece to snuck out snot. Simple and effective.
Promising review: "Best snot sucker EVER! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our Nose Frida. Yeah, yeah, it's gross sucking your kid's snot, but you know what's worse? A sick, miserable baby. Our pediatrician even recommended the Frida over those little blue bulbs. I can suck more junk out, and it's so much easier to clean and sanitize. There is NO WAY any boogies can get back into your mouth when you use this product. The gross factor is just all in your head. If you have a kid — order this! If you know someone with a kid — order this!" —Chelsea S.
Get it from Amazon for $13.59.
18. An easy-to-inflate bath tub in case you happen to be going somewhere where either a) there is no tub, or b) the tub you need to use is too big. Bath time can be any time with this nifty invention.
Promising review: "Nifty tub for travel. My child loves this tub. I purchased this for short getaway trips with our little one. It’s fairly sturdy and my baby seems to love splashing around in it. It’s recommended for babies who can sit up unassisted/with minimal support. If you have an electric pump, it’ll take you about three minutes to inflate it." —Shaina Rivera
Get it from Amazon for $13.32+ (available in two prints).
19. A Tushbaby hip carrier because odds are if you're bringing your kiddo along with you, they'll probs end up wanting to be carried. This helps you relieve back strain by creating a convenient spot for them to sit. It also has great storage for all your must-haves.
TushBaby is a small biz run by three California mamas and specializes in products that bring a little more ease to everyday parenting life.
Promising review: "I saw this on Shark Tank as I was sitting with a glass of wine in my hand and had just taken an Advil to relieve the kink in my back from carrying my 25-pound little one around — I bought it immediately! It’s been great! Easy to use once you adjust it a few times for fit and comfort. Certainly much better on the back than the Mommy hip shelf. I use it daily as we go on walks, when she gets tired and wants to be be carried I can just sit her right on and go. Plus it’s got handy storage pockets for the phone and snacks and doggie poops bags of our four-legged family member is with us. Highly recommended for those who have a toddler who wants to walk but not at the endurance level yet to make it the whole way!" —wildcatsarahj
Get it from Amazon for $84.99+ (available in two colors).
20. A pack of corner guards for babyproofing your space — which means covering up any sharp corners on furniture pieces that could result in them getting hurt.
Promising review: "Must-have. I love these. We just moved in with family, and they had a coffee table with super-sharp corners and I have a little one who pulls up on everything and is trying to walk. To say I was on edge is an understatement. My sister-in-law didn’t want an obnoxious baby proof item around her house, but these were so discreet she didn’t even notice that I had installed them. They are so soft that my little one started gumming on them to soothe his gums, LOL. They were super easy to install, stuck on very well and with not much effort, and came with plenty so if I need them I’ll have them handy. Super satisfied! If you’re thinking about getting, them please do!" —Amazon Customer
Get a 12-count from Amazon for $9.98 (also available in an 18- and 24-pack).
21. A mop cleaning system so you no longer have to cry over spilled milk (seriously). This mop and bucket combo allows you to mop, rinse, and wring out excess water all in a few seconds. No more dragging a sopping wet mop across the floor. And it works with just plain old water! No harsh cleaners needed.
Promising review: "I know it is hard to be obsessed with a mop, but as a working mom of three little messy kids this thing is an absolute lifesaver! It is SO EASY and cleans so well! I recommend this mop to everyone." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $34.97.
22. A two-pack of super soft and stretchy sheets since you'll want to ensure your little one gets a comfortable night's sleep on a bed with sheets that won't bunch up.
Promising reviews: "I’m obsessed with these sheets!! So incredibly soft and they fit great. I’d definitely buy again." —Amazon Customer
"Do they make these in adult sizes? These are the softest sheets I've ever felt in my life. They are SO soft, perfect for cold or warm nights. I've purchased two packs now and they are the only sheets that fit our Graco Pack n Play PERFECTLY. They also sell these for cribs and bassinets, which I will likely purchase!" —Kate
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in 12 print combos).
23. A stroller fan you can pop just about anywhere — their carseat, stroller, or high chair — to keep them cool.
It's rechargable!
Promising review: "Obsessed with this fan! Love that it’s a fan and light. We’ve used it attached to our daughter's stroller as well as her crib when we lost power for a while during one of her naps. I also like that the fan and light can be adjusted." —Alora
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three colors).
24. A no-slip Ezpz Happy Bowl with a built-in placemat to feel a bit less stressed when meal time approaches. We all know meal time is probably the messiest, so this will help reduce spillage. It's dishwasher- and microwave-safe!
Ezpz is is a woman-owned biz that creates developmentally focused, minimalist tableware for little ones.
Promising review: "I'm obsessed with these mats. My 13-month-old daughter pulls on the bowl and it doesn't budge, which we love, obviously. We're anticipating the day when she figures out she can just lift up the side and throw it around, but so far she doesn't seem to care to. I can see where that could be an issue if your little one is slightly more curious/destructive, but I love that it's also easy for us to pick back up after the meal (no mess from releasing suction). The bowl is a great size for her meals too (serving of yogurt, cereal, soups, etc)." —Christina S.
Get it from Amazon for $22.97+ (available in five colors).
25. A detangling brush if you're tired of your tiny tot screaming every time it's "hairbrush" time post bath or shower. (It was me, I was this kid, and my mom would've been saved by my ear-hurting screams if she had this when I was little instead of a comb — sorry Mom!)
Reviewers swear this brush works on all hair types: straight, wavy, or curly (from 3a–4c hair).
Promising review: "I never thought I'd be obsessed with a hairbrush but here I am. My daughters get massive tangles and knots so I bought this brush out of desperation. It does a much better job than our last brush at getting their tangles out for both my thick-haired daughter and my fine-haired daughter. They are happy and I appreciate having less of a battle and tears! I read the reviews saying the brush feels good on the scalp, so I tried it and oh my goodness, it feels like the best scalp massage ever. After stealing my kids' brush every day for months, I finally bought my own. Extra bonus is that both colors we got are really pretty! If it isn't obvious, we all highly recommend!" —Vanessa Wright
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in nine colors and in packs of two).
26. And a lice prevention and detangling combo spray featuring rosemary, citronella, tea tree, and geranium oils so you can feel better about sending your tots off to school where lice tends to spread. Reviewers also note that it's gentle enough to use regularly.
Promising review: "A mom friend swears by this product. Her kids' school had a huge outbreak, and her kids NEVER got lice. She attributes the reason to Fairy Tales. Since I became obsessed with this product, we haven't caught lice. There recently were three kids who were diagnosed at the last lice check in my daughter's classroom. She has remained lice-free this year. Is it Fairy Tales? Who knows for sure, but I will use this until I am proven otherwise." —Susan K.
Get it from Amazon for $11.59.
27. A leakproof, cult-fave Comotomo baby bottle for a more effortless way to transition your little one from breastfeeding to bottle feeding. The shape of the bottle is designed to mimic breastfeeding AND you can stress less about gas and spit-up with its anti-colic vents for smooth milk flow.
Promising review: "I LOVE these bottles. Being a first-time mom is overwhelming and there are a million different bottles out there but a close friend recommended these and we are obsessed! They’re easy to clean because they’re flexible and wide so you can reach in and really clean them. The nipples are breast-like which has worked wonderfully for us. My milk took a while to come in and my baby had no problem going from nursing to these bottles and then back to nursing. These bottles encourage a good latch due to their shape. My little girl has issues with reflux and these bottle are great at decreasing air bubbles. We have a ton of these in both the 5-ounce and 8-ounce in both green and pink and would recommend them to everyone. Our baby is 2-months-old and these bottles get used and washed daily sometimes multiple times and they’re holding up wonderfully!" —Sarah F
Get a set of two from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).
28. A set of handy starter spoons perfectly designed with a special textured surface that'll latch onto soft foods like a dream. You can worry less about their pureed peas slipping and sliding all over their spoon. This'll make it infinitely easier for them to start learning to feed themself!
The set includes a stage one spoon and stage two spoon. The first stage spoon doubles as a teether, and is designed to introduce babies to holding utensils and exploring purees, as they soothe their sore gums. The second stage spoon is capable of holding more food and can even be loaded with solids for the child to grab and eat.
Note: The spoons don't have a stopper, so please supervise your babies to make sure they don't stick the spoon too far back in their mouth. Recommended for ages 6 months+.
Promising review: "These are the BEST pre-spoons! They were recommended through an infant feeding course I took online. I'm obsessed. My 6-month-old son loves them. Although sometimes he will try to eat from the opposite side, but, once he figures it out he loves it. They are the perfect length for his little hands." —Amy Marilu
Get a set from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four color combinations and packs of two, four, or six spoons).
29. A space-saving Graco Slim Snacker high chair in case you live in a smaller space and there's quite literally ~zero~ space for a regular high chair. This magical chair folds up super small so when it's not in use you can store it no problem.
Promising review: "Obsessed!! I searched high and low looking for a high chair we could take on picnics in the summer. My little guy is active so I needed a place for him to sit still while we enjoy a sandwich and some fresh air. I LOVE the full-size feeding tray. Then if we go to a family barbecue, I’ll just pop the bottom part back on and he has a full-size chair to sit with us at the table in! I am SO PLEASED!" —Bridgette Flores
Get it from Amazon for $79.97.
30. A backseat car video monitor because you deserve some peace of mind knowing they're safe in the back of the car (especially if they're in a rear-facing car seat).
Note: You should only ever look at the camera when the car isn't in motion!
Promising reviews: "I'm obsessed with this product! It's definitely better than a mirror. I find that it works fine for night vision — just adjust settings i.e. sharpness, contrast, etc. I HIGHLY recommend." —Veronica J.
"I saw this product on TikTok and knew I wanted to try it. I LOOOOOVE this product! I hate trying to use my rear view mirror to look into her mirror to make sure she’s okay. The quality of the video is great for the price, and I can easily see if my infant has spit up or I can see her mouth to shove a paci in if needed. I can see details like if her eyes are open or closed. The night vision isn’t too bad but not as detailed but you can see enough. But overall for the price, I would buy this product again hands-down." —Michael Giblin
Get it from Amazon for $33.99.
31. A sectioned dinner tray for a board game-like way to convince them that meal time is meant for...eating. No more trying to bribe them with the whole "take five more bites and THEN you can have dessert" tactic.
Promising review: "I am obsessed! Our 2.5-year-old was getting very picky and wouldn’t eat any meats or veggies! This plate makes her want to keep eating until she gets to her prize. I’ve even noticed that when we are out, she now finishes her plate even without this special plate! Love love love this! I hand wash it and it holds up perfectly!" —phmomof4
Get it from Amazon for $16.35+ (available in six styles).
32. A five-compartment snack spinner that's a fun way to keep their snacks organized and contained in a vessel they'll actually enjoy eating out of. I'll take some goldfish with a side of strawberries please.
Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this snack container! It’s definitely a little pricier but totally worth it! Plus it makes snack time for my baby more fun!! It works super well and cleans super easily! It also makes taking snacks in the diaper bag easier too!" —Morgan Griffin
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in three colors).
33. A cacti-themed bottle cleaning brush set because your sponge is just NOT going to get the job done when it comes time to clean that pile of baby bottles. This comes with a variety of different brushes so you can get every nook and cranny.
Promising review: "I have to leave a good review for this little brush set! It comes exactly as stated and is very well made for the price! I'm a plant lady, and when I became a mother I was sure hoping they had something for me! I can say I am seriously so obsessed with these it’s unreal. 😂 " —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two styles as well as replacement brushes).
34. Or a Dr. Brown's bottle brush (if you would rather just have one brush and not a set) to thoroughly sanitize your plethora of baby bottles. The shape is designed to clean bottle nipples with ease and it comes with a storage clip so you can keep it handy dandy near the sink at all times.
Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this bottle brush. This brush it great. My last brush I had to throw out because the bristles got matted and it was hard to get into the bottles to clean anymore, but I’ve had this one for a few months and it’s still just like it’s brand-new." —Vanessa
Get it from Amazon for $4+ (available in three colors and in multi-packs).
35. A sleek touchless forehead thermometer that's wayyyyy easier to use than a classic thermometer. This works on adults too!
Promising reviews: "This is a great thermometer — accurate, looks great, a must have! If you have kids, forget about sticking a thermometer in their ears. I have four kids now and a thermometer is a must have. Hold this thing close to the forehead, push the button in and you get a reading in about one second. This thing looks good, feels good, and is accurate. We’ve used multiple thermometers in the past. The head scanner that you run across the forehead...no good. In-ear thermometers...accurate, but expect a battle. Rectal thermometers...very accurate, but expect a war. This is the easiest one out of all of them. We find it especially useful when we need the quick 'I don’t feel that great' check...i.e., man cold. Overall, highly recommend!." —BearDownChi1
"I am obsessed with taking my temperature now. I got this because of the pandemic, but it is a necessity (a thermometer) that everyone should have, kids or not. Lightweight, easy to read, and super quick." —MissUnderstood
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
36. A potty training toilet since you'll want their transition to the "big people's toilet" to be less daunting. This will prepare them no problem. It has realistic flushing sounds and is super easy to clean.
FYI, it also has a built-in wipe compartment, a removable easy clean bowl, and a clip on splash guard.
Promising review: "This is a huge hit. First, I'm obsessed with how cute it is. Second, my 15-month-old peed in it the first time they tried it out and liked that it made a flushing sound. It was hard to potty train my son until he was big enough to use the regular potty; he hated the colorful training potty. This is genius because it looks exactly like a regular potty and the flush sound is a fun addition." —Lakai
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two colors and with or without lights and music).

Promising reviews: "This is the only reason nursing and pumping was comfortable. I also use this stuff on my lips! I’m obsessed with this product." —Jesse
"This stuff made SUCH a difference in breastfeeding for me! I breastfed my first child and used all the Lanolin for weeks as I cried because of the pain of having cracked nipples. I can barely remember when they healed but it felt like forever. With my second child I purchased this before she was born and by the end of my first week breastfeeding her while using this nipple butter, I was no longer in pain even though I experienced the same cracks as I did with my son. They healed much faster. I still have plenty left over. If there is any concern that this is so expensive for such a small amount — it's more than enough!"—S c

Promising reviews: "Nighttime game changer! I’ve had other baby monitors but this one is by far the most superior. Great picture quality and very accurate insights on sleep length." —JS
"Must have! Absolutely love our Nanit! Super easy to set up and looks great! We’ve gone through multiple baby monitors. Got it for our fourth baby and wish we had it with our first. My absolute favorite feature is 24/7 background audio meaning you can still hear the monitor when on other apps or when your screen is on lock. You can also switch between screens if you have multiple babies. Highly highly recommend this baby monitor!" —Drew
