My 3-year-old will eat every single bite of food put in front of her just so she can get to the treat at the finish line. This plate is durable. It is super easy to toss it in the dishwasher.

5. An infant toothbrush shaped like a banana to start teaching baby good brushing habits while the soft silicone bristles gently massage sore teething gums. Win-win!
Promising review: "A MUST HAVE for teething!! My son started teething very early at 4 1/2 months. He is a little over 5 months now and still does not have complete control of his hands. Round teethers and the frozen ones he still cannot quite control so he was getting frustrated and would scream when he could not get it in his mouth where he wanted it. Someone suggested I try a baby toothbrush and he kept jabbing himself. This is PERFECT. He can hold onto it easily. Both ends have little 'bristles' that massage his gums. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this to any parent with teething children. Happy baby = happy parents." —Derek's mama

Both my toddler and preschooler love them although the pop portion size is generous for my younger. The bone holders are hilarious and the yogurt we use looks exactly like a dino as expected after frozen. These work great and are really fun shapes so I highly recommend." —TXFan

I use it every time I change my little one when we’re out and about. It’s perfect to lay down on a changing table in public restrooms if you’re worried about laying your baby on a clean surface.

Good quality, contains odors, and works with a variety of replacement bags. Plus I think this one is more attractive than any other diaper pale on the market.

I definitely recommend it." —Heriberto Mendoza

Promising review: "These are a must-have for a small toddler and their snacks. The top is soft and flexible so I don’t have to worry about my little guy scratching his little hands when he’s digging around in the cup. Very easy to clean and they’re priced well. Buy them now!" —Wooty

Promising review: "Completely leakproof! A lifesaver! After YEARS of looking for a leakproof cup, I finally found it with the Contigo tumbler! I have tried every cup you can imagine and spent upwards of $20 to make sure it was leakproof and they were never as good as this cup! It's a must-have!! Child can't bite the straw and it is sturdy, and leakproof! It's taken many bangs, slams, and drops! Thanks Contigo!" —Amanda Fafard
Get it from Amazon for $14.35 (available in 11 prints).
18. A bug bite suction tool invented by a mom that's worth the Shark Tank hype. This ingenious device sucks out all kinds of bug bites, instantly relieving itching and swelling, so your kids aren't left scratching all day.
Promising review: "This is a MUST-HAVE in our household. I was a huge skeptic but decided to try it out of desperation. My youngest daughter is highly allergic to mosquito bites and gets huge welts that itch horribly after being bit. This product drastically reduces her swelling and itching. All of my girls (and myself) immediately ask for it after being bit. It takes away, or at least drastically reduces, the itching immediately. We also used it on fire ant bites, and my daughter said they felt better almost immediately!" —Reyka Smith
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors).
19. A splurge-worthy BabyBjörn Bouncer that'll offer a soothing rocking motion so the little one can chillax while you and your bestie sneak in a few minutes to catch up over wine and cheese.
Promising review: "Must-have registry item! This was the best investment, and I'd buy it all over again if I had to. My daughter is 9 months and we've literally used it every day since she was about a month old. All too often we purchase items the baby grows out of it at 3 or 6 months; this one is still going strong! This bouncer won't necessarily entertain your little one, but it's perfect for when you need to take a shower or get ready. Since it folds down flat (winning!) we keep it in our closet and set it up in our bathroom when we're getting ready in the morning. I'm a minimalist (I can't having all the baby 'stuff' laying around the house) so this is ideal." —Stephanie W.
Get it from Amazon for $199.99.
20. A Melissa & Doug activity book with a pair of safe scissors to channel their destructive, um, busy energy into a creative activity that'll put their fine motor skills to the test.
21. And a Melissa & Doug magnetic calendar because it'll teach your preschooler the days of the week, months and the weather in a hands-on, interactive way. They'll jump out of bed eagerly to update it every morning.
Promising review: "Almost 3-year-old loves it. After getting this he’s now asking me 'today’s Tuesday mom?' And 'it’s winter now?' He likes the holiday magnets and trying to figure out where to put the arrow for the temperature each day. It is sort of heavy, so I would recommend using a nail to hang it or Command strips around the rope so you don’t damage your wall. I used a Velcro heavy weight Command strip and it has held up for a few months now. We tried attaching Command strips to the back of the wood and it wasn’t holding to that material. This is a must-have for toddlers." —Steph
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
22. A bath toy organizer that'll make it look like you hired a professional organizer to de-clutter your bathroom. Reviewers swear will actually stick to your wall, tidy your tub, and keep toys dry and within arm's reach.
Promising review: "For the price, this thing is unbeatable! The suction cups have held tight to the shower wall since I installed this stuff. It holds all my kid's toys and allows the water to run off of them to prevent mold. I think this is a must-have for bath-time organization!"—internalburn
Get it from Amazon for $10.49 (available in two sizes and pre-stocked with toys or by itself).
23. 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: "A must-have for your kindergartner! This game is awesome! I bought it to play with my 5-year-old son because he was learning sight words in his Kindergarten class! It was a big hit! He loves the game and he started recognizing and learning the words very quickly! Highly recommend!" —Thomas C
Get it from Amazon for $8.89.
24. And for toddlers, a pack of bright laminated flash cards so little Einsteins can soak up their alphabet and numbers. They're like knowledge sponges, so why not start them early?
Promising review: "For the price there is lots to learn. My baby girl is 2 and recognizes all her number and alphabets. She needed something to challenge her and these cards were it. Shapes, colors, number, counting animals — there is so much to learn, and so many games you can make up. A must-have for any toddler." —IG: Pink_confession
Get a pack of 58 cards from Amazon for $12.99 (also available for babies).
25. A pack of toilet seat covers you'll be SO glad you decided to carry with you when you're out and about with your potty-trained toddler, who insists on getting their hands ALL OVER gross public restroom seats.
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 $9.99.
26. A sleek touchless forehead thermometer with a built-in sensor to help you measure your little one's temperate in seconds *without* disturbing them while they're sleeping.
Promising review: "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
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
27. A wallet-friendly Fisher-Price bath tub boasting a contoured seat perfect for safely cradling a newborn so they can have a ~whale of a (bath) time~. Plus, it grows with baby (simply remove the insert when they transition to toddlerhood!)
I bought this tub for my second child and really wish I had it for my first. It comes with a comfy padded newborn seat that gave me peace of mind knowing my little one wouldn't slip or slide during a bath. Plus, it grows with baby. My toddler son is now using it without the infant seat. It's also super spacious. Both kiddos can both fit in there together (albeit a little snugly) and splash around. The best part? It has a convenient drain for when bathtime is over.
Promising review: "A must-have! Stop Looking for tubs. I searched the whole time I was pregnant for a newborn to toddler tub. I found this after the baby was born and was so happy. It’s wonderful for the price and functionality! Baby is happy, and We love this tub!" —Anne
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
28. A detangling brush that'll glide through knots to turn your kiddo's daily hair-brushing ordeal into a painless experience minus the *ouchies or tears* (for both of you). Just trust the 30,000+ 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: "Best detangling brush I've ever used! My daughter has really curly hair and puts up a fight every time I have to brush it! This brush has made bath time a much more enjoyable experience for both of us! 😅 If you have thick, curly hair this brush is a must-have!" —Tiffany Marie
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in six colors).
29. A Philips Avent fast bottle warmer for heating milk gently and evenly in as little as three minutes to spare new parents the agony of keeping a screaming, hangry baby waiting for a bottle in the middle of the night.
Promising review: "We combo feed and this is a must-have! Warms both formula and breast milk. And, after trying a few pricier options this was our favorite. Warms quickly and it's perfect for bottles with formula and breast milk together or separately. Definitely would buy again. Highly recommend." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $49.84.
30. A cult-favorite stain remover especially great for stubborn stains like grass, oil, or blood. You can count on on this concentrated spot treatment to make messes disappear from your mini tornado's clothes.
Promising review: "Where has this stuff been all my life! This is the best stain remover I have ever used! I wish I would have found it years ago! My daughter is 6, and I can't think of how many stains this product hasn't gotten out for us, even old set-in stains that I thought were hopeless. A friend turned me on to this stuff, and now I will never go without it! A must-have for anyone with kids." —Christina S.
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.33.
31. A USDA-certified organic baby healing balm made with chamomile, cocoa butter, coconut oil, calendula, and avocado oil that'll help you alleviate all types of skin issues — eczema, acne, cradle cap, rashes, and more. No joke, it's a multipurpose miracle worker!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff. I use it for my ds rashes. I was so afraid to use anything but coconut oil but I needed something that would soothe the rash as well. My ds also ended up getting eczema and hives from a laundry detergent we had switched to. This completely soothed it away. It was gone by the next day. Needless to say, this is my go-to soothing-everything solution. It stays in the diaper bag and medicine cabinet. A must-have!" —Andrea
Get it from Amazon for $14.50.
32. A set of kid-safe plastic knives for parents who want to enlist their mini sous chef's help with dinner prep. While these do a pretty decent job of chopping, they're not sharp enough to slice a finger.
Note: Children still need supervision while using them, of course.
Promising review: "Don’t wait, these are a must-have! My kids love them! As soon as we opened and washed them, they went to work chopping their favorite foods. I’ve noticed they’re more willing to try new foods if they’re the ones chopping/helping make them! I should have bought them sooner." —Amanda
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.95.
33. 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: "The best baby distractor EVER! Every person with a child must have this toy! I had about five tucked in various places in case one got lost. My son loved them from basically birth and sometimes it would distract him for hours of non-crying! (heaven for a new mother) Of course in the beginning you have to keep pushing the button for them but compared to swinging him in his car seat that was easy! Then we he got older he would spend entire car ides just playing with this one toy. I give it to everyone I know who has a baby." —NH-Mommy
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
34. A pack of laminated math posters you can hang up on the wall to make homework visually engaging (and a lot less painful). Perfect for elementary through middle school ages.
Promising review: "Homeschool must-have. As a homeschool mom, when I found these charts, I loved them. They cover a lot of material that my first-grader is learning, as well as many things to come. Seeing the visuals the way they have them set up helped him understand several concepts (place numbers, fractions, some things about reading time) much quicker than the ways we had been covering it. Even if my son returns to the school system next year, we will keep these around for homework aids and to help the younger siblings as they approach learning these concepts. The boards are of nice quality. Bright colors, thick poster board that can be written on with dry-erase and wiped off." —Marvel
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $14.99.
35. A pack of reward punch cards to provide positive reinforcement each time they clean the room or finish their homework *and* to motivate them to keep up the good work to earn a prize. A little bribery never hurt anyone...right?
36. A waterproof potty-training watch that exists for the sole purpose of reminding toddlers to use the toilet on the reg. Before you know it, they'll be excitedly yelling “potty time" when the alarm goes off. *What a time to be alive!*
You can preset intervals of 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, 2 hours, and 3 hours. The watch has an inbuilt proximity sensor and only sounds alerts when it is worn so no need to turn it off at night. How smart is that?
Promising review: "Love this watch! My 3-year-old was giving me a run for my money. He was by far my most stubborn child to potty train. This watch has made a night and day difference. He puts it on when he wakes up and leaves it on all day. He gets super excited when the the countdown timer starts to okay music and lights up. He now will yell 'potty' and run to the bathroom. This watch is a must-have if you have a stubborn little one!" —MamaBear3

37. A pair of kick mats perfect for any parent who is fed up with constantly cleaning car seats wrecked by muddy shoe prints — courtesy of your kiddo aka future Tae Kwon Do champ.
It fits most sedan, SUV, and minivan seats. They buckle on using two elastic straps.
Promising review: "Definitely needed these! My son who just turned 4 is constantly kicking my seats and with a dirt driveway, mud is a huge issue. These were so easy to install and I don't even notice that they are there, but they definitely protect the seat from my little cowboy's boots. I love my boy to pieces and I definitely recommend these kick mats. A must-have item." —Mary
Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.79.
38. A car baby monitor to provide a crystal-clear view of your bub from the dashboard. A game changer for anyone who is fully aware of how painful it is to pull over to check on a crying baby at every stoplight.
Note: Please don't use while the car is in motion and the person is driving.
Promising review: "This camera is a new mommy must-have. I was using a mirror and constantly was readjusting it and relying on my mirror to see his mirror and it was stressful. I knew there had to be something better when I ended up driving at night with my 2-month-old to the hospital and he was freaking out and I couldn’t see him so I was pulling over to check on him every few minutes and it was a nightmare. This camera has been my saving grace. I was hesitant at first reading reviews saying it’s not night vision but mine automatically switches even in parking garages to night vision. I love that I can see my baby and not have to fix a mirror. Or turn my head to see fully what’s going on with him in the back. I really really recommend this for peace of mind!! —Jennifer K

Promising review: "Must-have around the house. If you have active kids around — this falls into the category of things to have around the house at all times. Every time they bump or scrape themselves and the skin is bruised or cut, we use this as a handy first aid. Does not sting intensely, the foam is easier to apply on kids (and easier to get their approval to apply), and by using enough of it I avoid having to rub the bruise altogether. The small portable size makes it easy to throw into a bag and take along." —Kundan Sen

It’s a great place to color and keep markers and pencils close and it's also great for eating in the car. Many vacations we grab fast food to eat while we are driving and it’s so much easier for the kids to eat with this tray that keeps all their snacks and food close to them.

Promising review: "A must-have! Absolutely loooove this product!!!!! I get asked about this fan all the time when I'm out! This has been a life saver in this Texas heat for my newborn and I use it literally all the time. It's either connected to her carseat during drives or on her bassinet (stroller) when we're outside. It has three settings for the fan speed and led light (again super convenient).

Promising review: "I was skeptical when I saw these in a BuzzFeed article but for so little a price, took the chance, and I'm SO glad I did! I had a cystic acne pop up and it hurt. I stuck one of the three different sizes over the spot in the evening, did my thing, and then went to bed. Got up the next morning and WHAT?! It was gone?! There was gunk all inside the patch. It was gross, scary...satisfying? I don't know what type of witchcraft this is, but I LOVE IT!! My teenage kids use them, and we've never been happier to see our acne disappear. And I'm a 49-year-old woman...didn't think anything could surprise me anymore, but this did! It's a wonderful product, a must-have for anyone who needs a way to get rid of a zit in less than a day. (I've ordered this product twice and will again.)" —Heather W
Promising review: "This is really a must-have in your medicine cabinet. We have two teenage daughters at home, and they both use it anytime they have a pimple. It is discreet and blends in nicely to your skin. It comes in three sizes to choose from, and it is made with tree tea oil, which I have found to be great in acne care." —Vanessa
