1. A cult-favorite stain remover if you feel like you're constantly trying to get stains out of every single piece of clothing your kid wears. This concentrated formula can get grass, oil, and even blood stains out easily.
Promising review: "This stuff is magical! It’s super easy to use, and it works on almost any stain! My daughter made fluffy slime today, and by the time she was done, there was purple fluffy slime all over her dress. I scrubbed it with this stain remover, and threw it in the wash thinking there’s no way the stains will get out. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled the dress out, and there wasn’t a single remnant of the slime on it. It was a laundry miracle! Love this stuff and will continue to use it for everything!!" —Amazon Customer

2. A toothbrush holder and dispenser — all your child has to do is place their toothbrush in the slot, and it'll automatically dispense the perfect amount of toothpaste. No more sticky globs of toothpaste littering your counters!
This includes a toothpaste dispenser (that'll squeeze out every last ounce!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes.
Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. I would definitely recommend for a family or kids' bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, Q-tips, or flossers." —Sariyah J
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three colors).
3. A diaper cream spatula applicator because no one likes getting that sticky paste under their fingernails! Reviewers also love how evenly this applicator administers the paste onto their child's rash.
Promising review: "Yes, it’s weird. I laughed (to myself) when I got one as a baby gift. Then my baby got her first rash and after wrestling a diaper closed with fingers covered in diaper cream I remembered this and oh boy what a lifesaver. I now have two and will probably buy a third for the diaper bag. It’s also nice for people who have sensory issues or are new to diaper-changing. Yes it’s weird, but it’s also crazy useful." —jp
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four colors).
4. A game-changing medicine dispenser and syringe combo if you always end up cleaning a sticky, neon-colored mess off their face when they spit the medicine up. With this, they can just suck on the pacifier, and the medicine will bypass their tastebuds and head straight down the hatch. Success!
Promising review: "My 15-month-old got her first ear infection and she REFUSES medication, so I didn't know how we were going to survive the 10 days of 2x/day antibiotics. She never took to a pacifier, so I was skeptical this would work, but it is a MIRACLE PRODUCT! My toddler now happily grabs it and sucks down her medication. I love how you can attach any plastic syringe to it, so it will work great for Advil/Motrin/Tylenol too. I also find it really easy to clean. I am going to tell ALL parents to get this ASAP!" —Jennifer Yager
Another promising review: "EVERY PARENT NEEDS THIS!! It is seriously amazing and saved us. My daughter has reflux and needs meds 2x/day. The med is bitter and she was gagging and spitting it out until we got this. I give her the pacifier while changing her diaper and then inject the medicine once she's sucking on it for a minute and it goes right down. No fighting or tears and most importantly, no loss of medicine. MIRACLE." —IBFab
Get it from Amazon for $12.84.
5. A pack of vomit bags to keep on hand if your little one is prone to motion sickness in the car. It has a twist-and-seal design on the top to keep everything...contained...until you reach your next pit stop.
Promising review: "I ordered these again at a stoplight after I handed my child the last of my initial stash. They are a lifesaver to have in the car. They have saved many a car seat and hours of cleaning. And they've saved us from that dreaded smell. Oh, that smell. Get them, stash them everywhere, and save yourself from that smell!" —Emily Sullivan
Get a pack of 45 from Amazon for $17.99.
6. Drop Stop car gap fillers (as seen on Shark Tank!) if your kid (or you!) has a habit of dropping french fries in that pesky gap in the car.
This gap filler is made from a neoprene material that provides the universal perfect fit for any car — just attach it to the seat belt catch once (it has a built-in slot) and it'll be set! You'll never have to worry about removing or readjusting.
Promising review: "This product has saved countless french fries from the dark and scary abyss that is the void beneath my seat. It also prevented my daughter from hiding daddy's cellphone under his seat when she's doing something on it that she's not supposed to. So if you've got devious kids or a love of french fries, I would strongly recommend this product." —Duster
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $24.99.
7. Portable soap paper sheets because kids' hands are always just ~sticky~, and you never want to end up in a public restroom that ran out of soap! All you have to do is place one of these sheets in their hand and let the water run, and it'll turn into suds so they can get all cleaned up!
This is also great for quick cleanups on the playground — just pour some water from a water bottle over the soap sheets and you have a cleaning station on the go!
Promising review: "I put one in my car and one in my son's diaper bag. I saw these on TikTok and had to get them. It’s horrible when you go somewhere and they have no soap, so this is a lifesaver." —Kailyn
Get 200 sheets from Amazon for $8.69.
8. A robot vacuum — as a parent, you're running around doing a million things during the day, and sometimes vacuuming just doesn't get done. Anything that can do a chore for you is truly priceless!
Promising review: "We switched from a $600 Roomba that didn’t work all that great to this beast. The cleaning is so much better! We run this in about 1,000 sq ft (kitchen, living room, kids playroom, and dining room) every night. It goes from carpet to hardwood to tile to rugs with no issues at all. It gets under the couch, around the table, and does a great job with the dried Play-Doh that seems to be everywhere (toddlers!). We have a cat, dog, and three kids and our floors look great every morning (and a wreck every night...)." —Jessica-CO
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in two colors).
9. Baby detergent pods free of scents, dyes, phosphates, and all that other icky stuff that can irritate your baby's delicate skin. This plant-based pod might be small, but it's mighty strong at cleaning your baby's clothes.
Dropps is a small business based in Philadelphia that produces eco-friendly cleaning products, and their shipping process is 100% carbon neutral.
Promising review: "These are great! They seem to clean really well and don't leave behind residue. Also, my kids have sensitive skin and haven't had any issues since using this." —Emma N.
Get at 64-count of pods from Dropps for $26 (also available in packs of 128 or 192).
10. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok-famous cleaning paste that can remove nearly anything, including the scribbles your kiddo decided to draw on your wall. Now you can make their little "masterpieces" disappear with very little effort! Here's hoping they stick to drawing on pieces of paper next time...
Promising review: "If you have little children, this is a must-have cleaning product, I have little artists in my house who’s biggest canvas is my walls and white doors! I have been scrubbing and trying products for over a year to get pen, pencil, paint, and even permanent marker off walls and doors. First try with The Pink Stuff it came right off! I’m talking all the way off! Rust rings on our white tub that were there when we first moved in GONE! The oven which I thought was black inside is actually a pretty blue color! Cleaning the inside of that oven was a breeze minimal scrubbing and it’s shiny and clean! Can not wait to try it on other things in the house!" —Trisha Mulholland
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
11. A slide-away storage bag that will completely revolutionize your clean-up. You can spread the mat out wide to give your kid plenty of surface to play with their building blocks, and when they're done, you just pull the drawstring and dump the bag into the bin. Magic!
Promising review: "I really like this for my kid's Duplo Lego bricks, but I think it could be used for a lot more than that. I want to get one for my kids' train track. The fabric part is really large and would fit the track on it. I found the cleanup is extremely easy; all you do is lift up the fabric, and it all goes in the bin. An added bonus, my 2-year-old can dump over the bin, and it stays on the fabric part. I also would like to add that I like the fabric on the outside of the bin; it looks durable and good quality." —KFundy
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in three colors).
12. A squirting spoon with a squeezable silicone pouch to make on-the-go feeding time a breeze. It's great for the times you take your baby out to lunch with you — it gives you the freedom to feed yourself with one hand and them with the other!
This comes with a hard plastic lid so you can seal it up and save it for snack time.
Promising review: "This product is amazing!!! I now have kids in sports/activities and I am always on the go. I put my baby's food in one of these and take it to-go in my diaper bag. It comes with a spoon cover that is hard plastic that covers the hole where the food comes out. The body of the spoon is a soft silicone that you gently squeeze to get the pureed food out. The spoon itself is a hard plastic but we had no issues. It is easy to clean and comes apart in two pieces. Seriously, this is the best gadget ever! This is coming from a mother of four who has probably owned and purchased every gadget out there to make life easier!!" —castgirl
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in pink or mint).
13. A pack of spillproof Munchkin snack catchers with caps that let them reach inside to grab snacks but prevent anything from flying out. Now you won't have to clean up puddles of Cheerios from your backseat anymore!
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
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6 (available in two color packs).
14. A pack of diaper booster pads if you're sick of picking up your kid in the morning and feeling that they've leaked through their diaper yet again. These provide some much-needed extra protection and will soak up any pee that is threatening to escape.
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 anymore. I would definitely recommend this for heavy night wetters." —Christine
Get a three-pack of 90 pads from Amazon for $30.79.
15. A pack of toy straps for the children who have turned tossing toys from their stroller into an Olympic event. This brilliant contraption will save you from back pain now that you don't have to bend down to pick up toys every 30 seconds.
Promising review: "This is a simple concept, but something that you would not normally think you need. After losing a few toys off the side of the stroller, I felt there had to be a way to keep toys and bottles from falling over the edge. I found these and took a shot at ordering them. The straps come with snaps at differing lengths to accommodate anything from Sophie the Giraffe all the way to our large Tommee Tippee bottles. I have not lost a toy since getting these nor has a bottle fallen on the ground. The strap dries out easily when she may have some excess 'droolage.' I think I might start giving these as a shower gift." —Kay
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $10.99 (available in 12 color sets).
16. Or this ingenious catcher specifically designed for sippy cups — we've all had those days when a supposed indestructible cup breaks when your child hurls it toward the ground, leaving you with a huge puddle to clean up. Now you and your kid can enjoy mealtime without worrying about splashes!
Promising review: "These are fantastic for keeping my child from dropping her sippy cup over and over during meals. I'd recommend to any parent who just wants one thing to be easier. But isn't that all of us?" —Leigh Powers
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six colors).
17. A silicone placemat in beautiful subtle hues that actually blend into your decor while keeping your tables mess-free. When your little one is done eating, just wipe it clean and you're both good to go!
Plus, you can also get the matching bib!
Promising review: "Biggest fan of all things Mushie. Love the neutral colors, cutest prints, and clean products. I already own several placemats (floral print, rainbow, and a pretty mauve/blush color) but I had to get this gray one too. Totally gender neutral, smooth, chic, and worry-free because it is clean, nontoxic, and made by a real mom. Happy to support a woman/mama-owned business." —Paul Kwon
Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 19 colors).
18. Or an EZPZ mat with a built-in plate that has three sections to divide their meal into. And it suctions to your table so even toddlers with Hulk-like strength won't be able to toss this thing to the ground!
Promising review: "Does your child 'feed the dog' during meal time? While this dish won't guarantee they won't continue that fun habit, it sure helps. Instead of 'wiping all the food' off his highchair tray, now my grandson's food sits in this sturdy dish that can't move. And I mean can't! It stays put and the cut pieces are easy to pick up it. Easy to clean too!" —Reeve
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (and check out the rest of the EZPZ mats).
19. A car trash can if your car floor is starting to resemble the bottom of a dumpster. Now your kid will have a dedicated space to throw away all their snack wrappers, dirty tissues, and any other messy bits and bobs.
Promising review: "This is the most useful little item I have EVER placed in my car for litter management. It's easy to use, easy to empty, AND it doubles as a spare cup holder when needed. I've ordered more for our other cars. The kids have really improved their management of basic tidiness in the car with this in our family vehicle. My husband has managed to keep the passenger seat easy for me to join him in his car, and now our teens will enjoy an uncluttered life in the 'teen mobile.'" —DW
Get it from Amazon for $5.99.
20. A water-resistant smock designed to protect your kiddo's entire ~lewk~ from messy mealtime or arts and crafts. It's much easier to wipe this down than have to change their whole outfit.
Promising review: "These things are a lifesaver! It took my son a little while to get used to them but he never really minded them much. They completely cover him from his shoulders to his lap and I love that if he drops food into his lap the pocket catches it. I no longer have to worry about him getting food all over himself or his clothes! He’s a messy self-feeder but it’s not a problem anymore thanks to these bibs! I also especially love that I can easily just wipe them down after meals so I only have to wash them once they start looking slightly stained. Then I just throw them in the wash and they come out good as new! I bought three and I’m so glad I did! If your kid is exceptionally messy, I highly recommend these!" —Alicia Briggs
Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (available in 28 colors/patterns).
21. A food and juice box holder because everyone knows that the *second* you give your kid a juice box or a food pouch, they'll end up squeezing it all over themselves. Now they'll have two handles to grab onto for a mess-free experience!
Promising review: "BEST THINGS EVER!! My little one is 10 months old and a little miss independent. She HATES when I have to help feed her. She LOVES the applesauce pouches, but always squeezes them and makes the biggest mess ever! I thought these would be worth a shot. I was right!! Works awesome for her with juice boxes, too! AND she's happy because mommy doesn't have to help!! I would definitely buy them again, and I told EVERYONE with littles how much they need to buy these!" —Kaila
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five colors and as a two-pack).
22. Or a pack of silicone pouch lids that attach right to the top of a squeeze pouch. They're designed to only let food through if your child is actively sucking on it, so you don't have to worry about spills (or your child squeezing out all the food just for *fun*)!
ChooMee is a small biz based in Northern California, owned by a mom, 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 squeeze) 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 $8.99+ (available in five color combos).
23. Or! This JellyCap aka a drink cap that will fit on most water bottles so you can turn pretty much anything (even yogurt bottles!) into a mess-free cup. These can be used with or without a straw!
Promising reviews: "Hands down one of my best Amazon purchases for my girl! I love finding hidden gems like this to make parenting a little easier lol. We go camping a lot and these are life savers and save me so much time washing and re-washing sippy cups! Plus my daughter can now be trusted with her beloved Danimal yogurt! A win for mom and a win for my very satisfied and not yogurt covered 1.5-year-old! Great idea!!" —Ab223
"Wonderful for my autistic 4-year-old! I absolutely LOVE these Jelly Caps! I found them on TikTok and knew it would be perfect for my son! He’s 4 and I’m always forgetting to bring his cup. He’s autistic and struggles when drinking from a bottle. These fit great on his happy meal milk from McDonald’s as well as every bottled water I’ve tried! Only down side is it takes a smaller straw than you get at the store. But to fix then I always put the straw in from the 'bottom' before placing it on the bottle! 10/10 recommend! Just buy them!" —Nikki
Get a three pack from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two color options).
24. A cereal and snack dispenser if you have an independent kiddo who *insists* on doing everything themselves, including pouring their own cereal in their bowl....and all over the counter, too. Now they can just turn the crank on this dispenser and it'll administer their cereal right into their bowl!
Promising review: "We have three kids and a very small kitchen with very little cabinet/counter space. We used to keep our cereal boxes on top of our refrigerator, but I've been trying to de-clutter, and also come up with a solution for our kids to be able to get their own cereal in the mornings. THIS IS IT!!!! It looks great on our counter and we have very little space, so it fits just right! This has been the perfect solution to giving our kids the independence they need to get their own breakfast! It has been a lifesaver!!! Love it!!!" —tenle
Get it from Amazon for $21.40+ (available in nine options including single, double, and triple styles).
25. A Boon cacti bottle cleaning brush set because there are so many nooks and crannies in bottles and sippy cups, and this adorable brush set has everything you need to get every square millimeter clean. Plus: you'll just love staring at it as you do your kitchen chores!
Promising review: "I love this product. I got it because of all the hype on TikTok, but I gotta say I actually find it a really nice way to display my bottle and accessories cleaner. It matches perfect with my boom grass. Makes my kitchen feel warm." —DIPC
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two styles, as well as four replacement brushes).
26. A splurge-worthy hand vacuum to help you quickly and efficiently clean up all those crushed crackers that end up all over your couch. It's way easier than lugging out the big, bulky vacuum!
Promising review: "Another 'TikTok made me buy' purchase. I absolutely love this thing. It helps with cleaning my daughter’s desk since she’s homeschooling and easy to use to clean inside of drawers." —Manisha Roopnarine
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in four colors).
27. A personalized stuffed animal zoo if you're sick of tripping over stuffed animals every time you walk into your kid's room. Now they'll actually be excited to clean up their stuffies and place them into their own "zoo" once playtime is over!
Banda's Palette is a Kansas-based woodworking shop from Jaime, a parent of two who makes all sorts of specialized goods from lemonade stands to costume closets.
Promising review: "It was easy to assemble and very high quality. It looks just like I hoped it would. My daughter absolutely loves it and it keeps so much clutter off the floor!" —Emily Wilson
Get it from Banda's Palette on Amazon Handmade for $105 (plus shipping).
Heads up: shipping usually takes four to five weeks.
28. An expensive-looking Ruggable area rug known for the cover that you can detach and throw right into the washing machine whenever you get a spill on it. This is basically a must-have for households with spill-prone little ones!
The rug cover can be detached and reattached to the rug pad without losing its grip. When it's time for a wash, throw the cover in the washer and dryer, and reattach it back to the pad. Voilà!
Promising review: "I adore the Ruggables. I purchased three for my busy summer camp. They fit right in with our vibe due to the wide variety of beautiful patterns available. I LOVE that I can wash them and keep the place tidy with so many family members trooping through with wet, muddy feet. They are a miracle!" —Kim D.
Get a 5x7 size from Ruggable for $219 (also available in seven other sizes).
29. A set of cloth diaper fasteners if you're thinking about making the switch to cloth diapers and would like some extra help keeping them in place.
Promising review: "Snappis are amazing! I'm new to the cloth diapering world and wanted to try every style of diaper to see what I liked best for my baby. So I bought these to hold together my flour sack towels and they work perfectly. They stay in place even when it is soaked!! For the price and the quality you couldn't get any better than the Snappis. I would recommend this product to anyone interested in the more 'old school'–style cloth diapering system." —victoria88
Get them from Amazon: five-pack of Snappi fasteners for $13.95 and 10-pack of Gerber cloth diapers for $13.99.
30. An ingenious changing pad that prevents the super gross issue of baby hands reaching down and smearing poop everywhere during diaper changing time. This pad creates a barrier between their hands and their diaper and presents distracting toys to hold their attention.
SnoofyBee is a small biz founded by parents of six kids, who invented a changing pad to keep babies’ hands out of dirty diapers.
Promising review: "This thing is really awesome. Maybe it's a first-time parent thing, but as our son has gotten older he has turned diaper changes into a total game: How quickly can I get my hands in the poo? Can I wrestle away from mom bare-bottomed? How high can I arch my bum off the changing table while writhing around? With this, we just close the sides and hand him a toy to entertain himself with. He's still a little wiggly, but we've all but eliminated the hands-in-diaper issue. It's lightweight, folds down nicely, and has been great for travel. We've both wiped off and machine washed it several times over the months we've had it and it looks brand-new. Don't let other people get down on you if you're not the diaper-change whisperer." —J. Corrigan
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in four colors).
