    Promising review: "This stuff is a lifesaver. Life is tremendously busy with kids and cleaning the shower is at the bottom of the list. I bought this due to pure frustration and disgust of my shower and it has turned it around in a weekend. You literally spray it and forget it and just with that little effort, I have a clean shower!! Also great for glass doors. It cleaned everything! Love it!" —Amanda Nichols

    Get it from Amazon for $19.98.

    5. A pack of silicone pouch lids because you're fed up of your little ones  squeezing pouches all over themselves, and on your rugs and couches, tbh. This clever lid boasts a flow-control valve that prevents spills, but still lets them suck on it. Say goodbye to cleaning messes all day long!

    ChooMee is a small biz based in Northern California, owned by a mom, that specializes in innovative products that solve everyday feeding challenges.

    Promising review: "Are you tired of your infant squeezing their food pouches all over themselves? The floor? And most importantly your nice dress shirt as you're trying to leave the house in the morning and you're already running late for work and no matter how many breakfast burritos from Whataburger you bring into the office your boss is going to kill you for being late again?! Not saying that would happen to me, maybe you but not me. Why? Because I bought these little puppies before that could ever happen. The one way valve saves the day. And even my manly, manicured, buttery soft hands can't squeeze hard enough to get a drop out. Save your shirts and your jobs. Buy these tops!" —Joshua Mueller

    Word board with chips, cards, and packaging
    Amazon

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $9.08.

    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

    Promising review: "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.

    9. And a pack of ingenious light switch extenders with an easy-to-grab moon-shaped handle so kiddos can turn the lights on and off ~all by themselves.~ The best part? These glow in the dark.

    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 $6.68.

    11. A set of satisfying tempera paint sticks so you can encourage your little Picassos to paint — without worrying about the mess. These feel like you're painting with rich, creamy lipsticks, but dry very quickly. (Btw, my toddler is OBSESSED with these and uses them literally every day.)

    Promising review: "My 2-year-old LOVES to do arts and crafts but momma does not love the mess that normally goes along with. These allow my LO to get her "arts on" without my stress level rising. The caps are easy enough for her little hands to work without them being too flimsy (they stay on when not in use). The tubes are also easy enough for little hands to twist on their own ... so no "mom help!" every 30 seconds. The paint also dries quickly so we now avoid the "painted" shirt cuff issue. The colors are really vibrant too! So far we've used these on multiple different textures and so far we haven't found a surface the paint wont glide right on to. We love these and keep the playroom fully stocked! A must for every kiddo (or adult) who love being creative."godsnmortals

    Get a pack of 24 pens from Amazon for $21.41+ (also available in larger quantities).

    Promising review: "Seriously? The best stain remover EVER! Ok y’all. So. I have 4 kids (22, 19, 19, 17), three of whom play baseball. I also have 4 dogs (2, 4, 4, 14). I also have a husband who gets something on his clothes EVERY time he eats, drinks, or just walks through the house. ANYWHO. Needless to say we have lots of stains on clothing, carpeting, rugs, you name it. I consider myself to be a stain remover master (my kids’ friends will bring stuff by for me to clean) and I was pretty good (elbow grease and persistence are key). Well, I got Grandmas stuff and I cannot believe how great it works - without the elbow grease and persistence! Just buy it. You’ll see!"Lauren Ruffin

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.

    13. A pack of spill-proof Munchkin snack catchers your future self will thank you for for not having to hand your toddler snacks *one piece at a time* or constantly clean their trail of snacks. They'll allow easy access for little hands but prevent Cheerios from flying everywhere.

    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

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $5.95 (available in two color combos).

    14. A pack of toilet seat covers to have on hand if your potty-trained toddler loves to get their hands ALL OVER gross public restroom seats.

    Promising review: "This has been one of MANY items I have purchased thanks to TikTok, and I'm glad I did. Super easy to use, easy to adjust, and most importantly it helps with support tremendously. It comes with pockets and a place to hold bottles/sippy cups, which can be very handy. My 8-month-old weighs around 30–35lbs, and he's basically attached to me 24/7, carrying all day was killing my back and arms! Thank God for this invention, my arms and back can rest." —Jennifer Calle

Makes life easier." —Danielle

    17. A set of kid-safe plastic knives so you can enlist your mini sous chef's help with dinner prep without worrying about hurt fingers. While these do a pretty decent job of chopping, they're not sharp enough to cause injuries.

    Note: Children still need supervision while using them, of course.

    Promising review: "My daughter always wants to help in the kitchen. This used to require a lot of attention and stress on my part. I got these knives and my life got easier. She practices her coordination skills and gets to help. I don’t have to hover and hold her hands while she cuts things up. We make meals together and I love it. She is happy! My daughter just turned 2 and these are easy for her to hold and handle in case other parents are curious about ages." —Britt WT

    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

    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

    Solar Buddies is a small biz based in the UK, founded by two moms, who set out to develop a product that would make applying sunscreen on kiddos easier.

    Promising review: "I hesitated, but I originally saw this item on TikTok and knew it would make life SO MUCH easier when it comes to putting sunscreen on myself and my kids, and I have to say, I am NOT disappointed!! The sunscreen goes on so smoothly and evenly, and I feel like I will be saving so much sunscreen now that I'm not just squirting a huge glob in my hands and spending so much time trying to rub in a ridiculous amount into mine and my children's skin. My only regret with buying these is that I wish I would have bought a couple more so that I could have different ones for each of the sunscreens we use! But I will be recommending these to everyone!" —Carmen

    21. An inexpensive item finder if you've ever prepared to unwind after a looong day with an episode of House of the Dragon ONLY to realize the little gremlins have hidden the remote (yet again)?!

    Promising review: "Do you have kids? We have three of them. By the time I get home from a long day at work, sometimes I just need a little Netflix or Amazon Prime. Before I got these, there was this hellish period of 'You've got to be kidding me? What do you mean you don't remember where you put it?!?!' Sure, we had a designated basket where the remotes should go, but they'd be under the couch, under a blanket, in the next room, etc. Now, all I do is click a button on the base remote and the fob chimes away and we have fun finding the cussed little devices. Sure, they still end up in every conceivable unusual spot, but now we can find them. It works through furniture, at least 20-30 feet away. If there are walls involved, no biggie, I just walk around with the remote clicker and push a few times. Now we can find our remotes in seconds. First world problem, but now it's solved. I highly recommend this product!" —UkuleleJoe

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

    22. A bath toy organizer 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: "Great for little ones who drop pacifiers. I use this regularly as a soother when on a car ride, in a store, or when going to sleep. I started using it at about 4 months old (she is now 6 months). I typically put it on her hand for her and she keeps a good grip on it, whereas pacifiers would last about 10 seconds and be dropped. She will also pick it up herself, unlike a pacifier. Even if she's not holding it "correctly", she will still use it." —Zunikitty

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 12 colors).

    24. An inflatable travel bath tub that'll make bathing your little one stress-free whether at a hotel or at grandma's. No more sliding around the hotel tub —and it's especially useful if the bathroom only has a shower.

    Promising review: "We purchased this because we had a couple of trips planned and this would be easier to bath our 16-month-old. She fit perfect and comfortably. We brought a hand pump with us and it only took a few minutes to inflate. Recommend for any hotel stay/vacation." —Jennifer Merced

    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

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This makes diaper changing and dealing with rashes a breeze. I hate using the kind in the tube, even with those special applicators, it’s just too much stuff to deal with when you can just spray this stuff and be done with it. A good tip to even be more effective is to let baby’s butt air out for a few seconds after using the wet wipes, spray, let it set, and then fasten the diaper. However, just spraying and going is fine too. I’m never buying diaper cream in a tube again as long as this product is on the market."—Janice Newman

    28. A nifty car seat buckle release tool so you can make it through school dropoff without cursing (inwardly) because it's a struggle to unlatch your kiddo. This handy little gadget makes unbuckling an absolute breeze.

    Promising review: "I love this stroller caddy! I switch it between strollers whenever we go anywhere. I have four kids and a lot of things to hold. The cup holders on our stroller aren't large enough to hold my phone, so this works perfect. Mine and my husband's phones, keys, snacks, anything you need easy access to. Definitely makes being out and about easier with a 2-month-old!" —AudraD

    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

    34. A bestselling Dr. Brown's formula mixing pitcher that'll let you make a big batch ahead of time because prepping individual bottles is so dang *time consuming*. Plus, its rotating blade is designed to minimize clumping and bubbles.

    Promising review: "I am so glad this exists! I heard about it in a twin Facebook group and decided to check it out. What a lifesaver, seriously. With newborn twins who eat twice as much it was exhausting prepping single bottles all day and for night feedings. Now we can make formula for eight 5-ounce bottles quickly for night feedings and in the morning I make a small batch for supplementing with breast milk as needed throughout the day. If you have multiples or several children who are still drinking formula, this is a must-buy!" —Ladyhawk

    35. 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

    36. A Silly Poopy's toy because it'll entertain kids with a game of hide and seek, while you take all the credit. It involves hiding a fake rainbow-colored poo that says "yoo-hoo" and gives other hysterical clues about its hiding place. Kids who delight in toilet humor will get a total kick out of this.

    Promising review: "Let me tell you that if you want hours of endless fun of hide and go seek without having to hide yourself, this is a must get! When its hidden it makes various toot noises and says stuff so the kids know if they are close. And when they find it and press the button to do and sing the silly poopy dance....even you will dance and sing along!!! Doesn't need batteries and come on, its poop? Who doesn't think poop and toot noises are funny and if they don't they are lying to themselves. A must have for fun with your kids while barely doing any work!!" —andrea kelli gorman

    37. 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.
