1. A game-changing Honest Company diaper rash spray to help you change diapers like a ninja, and to ensure your fingernails aren't victimized by that greasy, sticky paste.
Promising review: "Seriously, Honest should sponsor me. I’ve shared this link with so many friends and colleagues. The key to diaper rash is prevention and this makes it SO MUCH EASIER. I don’t mind applying normal diaper rash cream, I just hate the messy fingers. My kiddo is a wiggle worm and anything that requires her to be on a changing table longer…we try to avoid. This is seriously amazing and makes it so much easier to use regularly. I can’t attest to healing bad diaper rash, but I would recommend at least trying it. I’ve already purchased three for all our changing stations and will be the only thing I replace with. Again, @honest you should sponsor me, just saying." —Carisa in DFW
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
2. A viral TikTok toothbrush holder and dispenser for literally squeezing toothpaste on your child's brush for you and saving you from having to wipe down toothpaste-smeared counters.
This bad boy includes a toothpaste dispenser (that'll squeeze out every last ounce!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.
Promising review: "Love this! Makes brushing teeth with kids much easier. No more messes and don’t have to worry about them putting too much on their toothbrush it does get messy inside where the toothpaste comes out but it’s easy to clean just pop top off and rinse off. Makes life easier." —Danielle
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in three colors).
3. A pack of stick-on fever indicators that'll come in handy during cold and flu season. Simply stick the bug on their head and it'll change color to indicate temp letting you monitor your child's fever for up to 48 hours.
It goes without saying that these stickers aren't a replacement for a thermometer. But, if your kid has a temp, these will help you keep track of whether their fever is spiking or going down.
Promising review: "As a new Mom, I can assure you these things are A MUST! I used to take my sons temperature the old fashion way, and he'd kick and scream and I could never get an accurate temperature. I came across these stickers and they have made sick time at my house so much easier. It's just a great product because I can look at anytime and get an accurate temperature. If you're a Mom like me, you're wanting to take temperatures every 30 minutes, and using a thermometer to do that just doesn't work with a grouchy baby." —Matt
Get eight stickers from Amazon for $6.50.
4. A bestselling Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Musical Toy with catchy, classical melodies (by Mozart, Vivaldi, and other masters) and twinkling lights that any parent will tell you is their secret weapon to immediately calm down a fussy baby.
Promising review: "Magical toy. This little musical toy must have! My 18-month-old is still using it a lot. He loves it so much that we ended up buying the second one for him so he can have it at home and in the car. This toy really calms him down and keeps him busy. I don't now why but that toy always works if he is fussy and don't want to go in to his car seat. I notice it helps even when he is crying and nothing else is helping. So, make your life easier by having that little helper!!!" —J.R.customer
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
5. The Ollie Swaddle that'll make bedtime less of a struggle. It wraps snugly to prevent your lil escape artist from breaking out and boasts an opening at the bottom to make diaper changes a breeze. The best part? Moisture-wicking fabric to prevent overheating.
The Ollie World is a small biz based in Rancho Cucamonga, California, founded by a foster mom, who set out to make her own swaddle that could meet all of her foster son's needs.
Promising review: "Took the Ollie swaddle to the hospital with us. I will say it’s the number one baby product that I have bought that has made my time with a newborn so much easier! She loves it, I love it, her dad loves it and I tell all my friends!" —Kate Mudd Qualman
Get it from The Ollie World for $59 (available in five colors) or from Target for $59.99.
6. A detangling brush for gliding through knots to transform your kiddo's daily hair-brushing ordeal into a painless experience minus the *ouchies and tears* (for both of you). Just trust the 40,000+ people who gave it a 5-star review.
Reviewers swear this brush works on all hair types: straight, wavy, or curly (from 3a–4c hair).
Promising review: "PSA to moms of children with wild tangly hair. This brush is amazing! It's usually a huge hassle for me to brush my daughter's hair because it tangles so easily. She says it hurts, I say deal with it, and then an epic battle ensues. I've had this brush for two days and it has made my life so much easier. It glides right through the knots, she says it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't cause as much breakage as a regular brush, and it makes her hair look soft and silky. I'm kinda hoping her hair tangles during her nap so I can use it again 😂😂😂" —Amy D.
Promising review: "The brush actually works very well with my daughter's hair. Makes a single dad's life much easier. :)" —Anonymous123
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in six colors).
7. And a leave-in conditioning spray for curly hair to restore your little one's curls to their former glory in no time to speed up your styling routine. The best part? It's free from any toxic stuff, including parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.
Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy.
Promising review: "This is my favorite product for my daughter. It really moisturizes her curls. I love seeing how beautiful and bouncy her curls get. It make my life easier styling it. The scent is a plus also. Definitely recommend and I will be stocking up" —Girl_mom
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
8. A blooming bath lotus that'll make bathing baby in the sink a safe and stress-free experience. Not to mention every precious lil' nugget deserves to luxuriate in a cushy flower at bath time.
The Blooming Bath Lotus is designed with four movable petals to perfectly fit in any sink and is recommended for babies 0–6 months old.
Promising Review: "I bought this to bathe my newborn in after my 4th c-section. I wish I had this for all my children! It would have made life so much easier during bath time. Because of the material my new baby stayed put and didn’t slip and slide all over the place. Also she was very calm and comfortable and seemed to enjoy the bathing experience, as the material is thick and soft, almost like a little sofa for her. It was perfect. I can’t say enough great things about it. After the bath you just press out the water and either hang the flower to dry or throw it in the dryer. I truly feel sad that I did not have this for my other kids. It was so much nicer and more comfortable for me to stand at the sink than it was to lean over a hard, wet and slippery bathtub after surgery." —Nadia
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in nine colors).
9. A Whiskware pancake batter mixer with a BlenderBall wire whisk that'll let you whip up a batch of pancakes at lightning speed on hectic mornings — no separate mixing bowl, messy spoons, or batter-coated countertops. Simply add your ingredients, shake, and pour from the spout. Breakfast's ready 😋! (You can even store leftover batter in the bottle and pop it in the fridge for a time-saving weekday breakfast!)
Promising review: "LOVE IT! I read through the reviews before buying this and wasn’t sure it was gonna be what I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised! This is perfect! I wanted to make life easier on school days and this really does the trick! Super easy to use. Goes right in the dishwasher." —Veronica
Get it from Amazon for $13.86.

This handy little thing comes with a 10 oz. container, two 6 oz. containers, one easy-pour formula lid, two spill-resistant lids and one dry food lid with handle.
Promising review: "This is super convenient. I love that it fits in the side pocket of my diaper bag and I can fit two pre-measured servings of formula, two nipples, and a collapsible funnel for easier pouring. Everything is easy to clean and much easier to deal with than other formula containers I’ve tried. A big plus is we can also use it for snacks once we’re no longer doing formula!" —Savannah Mayo
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
11. A bath toy organizer boasting 9,000 5-star reviews (!!!) that reviewers swear will actually stick to your wall, tidy your bathtub, and keep toys dry and within arm's reach. What more could you ask for?
Promising review: "MADE LIFE SO MUCH EASIER!!! Before this product, cleaning the tub was a pain!!!!

Note: Please supervise your baby when using this, and make sure it's never flipped inside out.
Promising review: "My little one LOVES this thing! It's super easy for him to hold which makes my life easier from having to pick up dropped teethers all the time :)" —S H
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in five colors).
14. A set of ingenious magnetic locks that don't require screwing into your cabinets. These install in seconds with tape to keep your curious tot from breaking into drawers. Bonus: They're hidden inside so they aren't eyesores.
The set comes with 12 locks (with strong 3M double-sided tape on the back) and two keys.
Promising review: "These have made my life so much easier!!! I imagine if my little boy reaaaaalllly pulled he may be able to break the lock possibly, but he tries and gives up. I do feel they are adhered well. I highly recommend for a no-drill and easy installation fix!" —Alicia

15. A pack of stick-on placemats to not only thwart your toddler's Thor-like attempts to yank and toss everything on the floor but also keep their food off germy restaurant tables *and* minimize post-meal cleanup.
Promising review: "My 10-month-old loves to feed himself finger foods but I hate putting food directly on restaurant tables. He tends to throw/knock over plates so I wanted to try this as another option... and we love them! They stick to the table and cover the entire area in front of him so that I can place pieces of food on there. Then when the meal is over, I simply pull the cover up and the mess on the table is contained. Very simple and makes life much easier. Highly recommend!" —JenF
Get a pack of 60 for $15.84.
16. A sterilizer and dryer that'll sanitize and dry a TON of bottles, pacifiers, and pump parts quickly — ideal for any new parent is who is fully aware how painful it is to stay up until midnight boiling bottles.
This bad boy can clean up to 11 bottles and accessories like teethers, pacifiers, and plastic toys at once.
Promising review: "Makes my life much easier!! I was washing bottles multiple times a day and then boiling a huge pot of water to drop them in to sterilize them. This is so much easier. You just put the bottles in and it sanitizes and dries them for you!! I love the drying aspect, as I was wiping off all the bottles with paper towels every time I washed them. The cycles are either 45 mins or 65 mins. Way less time than waiting for a huge pot of water to boil and all the hand drying time! This is definitely worth it!" —soozer07
Get it from Amazon for $79.95.
17. An inexpensive item finder if you've ever prepared to unwind after a looong day with an episode of Succession ONLY to realize the little gremlins have hidden the remote (yet again)?! This comes with four receivers you can stick to your phone, wallet, keys, or anything else that seems to go mysteriously "missing" often.
Promising review: "This product is very helpful for those who lose things often. Attaching the little fobs to my keys, television remotes and even my home landline was easy. Each fob is not very big and comes with a battery (as pictured). Utilizing the finder was easy and efficient at finding my missing items. I tested it out throughout my house and was able to locate each item quickly. Having little kids who love to hide things makes this product very useful in my house. Just keep the finder out of their reach and it makes finding things much easier. Great product to find those missing items in your life." —J. R. Murphy

I love that I’m able to pull out wipes, ONE at a time, without any difficulty or needing to use two hands.. that aspect alone has made life so much easier. I highly recommend it! And the next time you’re in another crappy situation (you know the one), you will thank yourself for buying this." —Sammy B
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
19. A clever sight word Bingo game; if you've ever asked yourself, "How do I take the frustration out of learning sight words and make it FUN?" then this game is for you.
The set comes with 36 playing cards, 264 playing chips, caller's mat and cards, and a storage box. This version is a fun twist on the classic, but instead of calling out numbers, the leader calls out words (there are 46 most-used words), players search their cards for a match and place a red chip on the match. Once a player has covered the spaces on their card needed to win, they call BINGO!
Promising review: "My kids love this game! We play once a week and it definitely helps them learn their sight words and reading for them has become a lot easier. There are a ton of cards to play on and even if you’re not playing bingo you can use the cards as flash cards! Best game ever made! It’s definitely worth the money!" —Rebecca

Promising review: "This is honestly the best purchase I’ve ever made since becoming a mom. Like, hands-down, my favorite product ever. This camera definitely makes life easier, and I wish I had it for my other two when they were babies. It took less than five minutes to get it up and running and they included everything I needed. I have a Dodge Grand Caravan and it reaches all the way to the third row. I recommend it to all my mom friends!" —Kristin Morgan

Promising review: "Have made my life slightly easier. I got these for my twins to eat their cereal. Usually when you give them a bowl of dry cereal they dump it and eat it off the floor. This has helped big time. One girl has perfected it, the other still grabs handfuls and drops half, but it's still way better than an entire bowl of cereal in the floor." —Aisha

Plus, it comes with an adjustable strap to fit snugly on any faucet.
Promising review: "I have a toddler who is pretty excited/active when taking a bath. I got tired of putting my hand over the bath spout to protect him from bumping it. I bought this, and I can't believe I didn't think of getting one sooner.It is soft, sturdy, and easy to take on and off the spout. When we are done with the bath, we take it off and let it air dry before the next bath. This is one of those products that you didn't think you needed, but when you have it, life becomes just a tad easier." —Tara Bridges

Promising review: "I love it! I cut my baby with a nail clipper and she cried so hard and I felt so bad that I cried too.. I got this Little Martin's Drawer baby trimmer and I used it on my baby and she was so relaxed and did not feel like her nails were getting trimmed.

29. A game-changing FridaBaby medicine dispenser syringe which doubles as an actual pacifier for any child who hates — repeat, HATES — taking meds, and ends up spitting it all out.
Promising review: "This thing is worth its weight in gold! A must have in my opinion because it makes life so much easier. We use it with gripe water or Tylenol around her immunizations. We bought it because she would cough and sputter because she wouldn't swallow well when given it in the cheek even in tiny amounts. It makes it a much faster process because all she has to do it suck like using a normal bottle or paci and she has never turned away because of taste either. It also happens to soothe like a regular paci afterward. Great buy." —Sullivan
Get it from Amazon for $11.04.
30. A two-pack of stroller hooks with foam handles capable of holding purses, grocery bags, backpacks, (and even the shopping basket below) making running errands with children in tow ~infinitely easier.~
