1. A hollow nipple-shaped penguin teether if you're looking for an easy way to stop your baby from endlessly chewing on their hand. Better yet, the unique handle design means it won't find its way to the dirty floor when they let go.
Promising review: "Thinking about this product??? FREAKING BUY IT! My baby started teething early and this is one of the only things she’s able to hold and get to her mouth. She is obsessed and I am so happy she can can sooth herself! BUY IT BUY IT BUY IT! It’s amazing easy to clean and great quality!!!." —Amazon Customer

2. A set of starter spoons with a unique texture that holds on to foods better and soothes sore gums — so your little one will basically be feeding themselves in no time!
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: "Great skill-building utensil. My baby loves gnawing on these for teething just as much as he loves eating with them! I love that you can load the spoon and hand it to baby to feed themselves. My little one just turned 6 months and uses these spoons with wild success. A must-have for BLW or feeding, in general." —Christopher

Promising review: "I LOVE this thing! I bought it before my daughter was born because of high reviews. It's a reasonably priced toy and my daughter has been using it since birth. Whenever she's having a meltdown I break it out of the diaper bag and she's all better. :) I actually memorized the songs and order and they're pretty catchy. Not annoying and overbearing like other toys. I don't know what I would do without it!." —uhhdorkable
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

Lastly, switch to the fine-tooth comb to lift away the flakes and breathe a sigh of relief.
Promising review: "My 6-week-old had bad cradle cap all of a sudden and this brush worked miracles. I wish I had it from birth. We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone and it does wonders on the scalp and keeping the hair looking healthy. Highly highly recommend.

BTW, it's not just for kids, adults love it too.
Promising review: "All I can say is WOW!!!!! This is by far the best conditioning spray I have purchased. I have spent a lot of money on the expensive 'miracle detanglers' and 'miracle brushes,' coconut oils and hours combing out big knots in my daughters hair when this is all that’s needed! Her hair is a disaster full of knots after the beach. I sprayed this on before going to the beach and it made all the difference in the world. Goes to show that the expensive stuff is NOT always the best. PLEASE DON’T EVER STOP MAKING THIS!!!!!" —G
Promising review: "Best detangler ever for our 4c hair! I bought this originally for my daughter who is starting to comb her own 4c hair. I knew from experience what an arm-breaking task it was. But she managed with no problems so I tried on my hair. Comb just glides through and leaves your hair so soft. Best of all, no sulfates, parabens, or phthalates! Love this product. Highly recommend." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "After having my 18-month-old crush her graham crackers in the bag and then toss it all up in the air covering herself and everyone and everything in graham cracker powder (including the interior of my car), I had enough. These cups are a godsend! They are the perfect size for her hand and she can’t just yank the top off. She likes the independence they grant her and my husband likes not having to strip her car seat and have the car detailed over cracker crumbs." —Shawny
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $5.95 (available in two color combos and a pack of four).
11. A TikTok-famous Tushbaby — it's basically the hip carrier and fanny pack hybrid you never knew you needed.

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 caring my 25 lb. 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

12. A pack of brightly colored stacking cups that prove sometimes the cheapest toys are the most entertaining. Your baby will be endlessly entertained while developing their hand-eye coordination, and there are even large numbers on the bottom to help with number recognition.
Bonus: These have holes in the bottom for water play and come with a cute star ring to keep them together so they don't get lost during travel.
Promising review: "MVP in our toy collection!! Of all our toys, these stacking cups are the ones our 10-month-old reaches for first EVERY time. She is obsessed and has been since she was 4 months old! At first, the rims of the cups were easy for her to practice her grasp, but as time has gone on she has used them to bang together and, finally, to stack. They are easy to clean (I believe they are intended to be a bath toy, although we don't use them that way) and easy to throw in a diaper bag for on-the-go play. If we could only have one toy for her, this would be the one!" —Carmen Lewis
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $4.99.

I HIGHLY recommend, I have tried it all!!!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $4.94 (available in two sizes and also in three-packs).

Tiny Twinkle is a small biz based in Phoenix that creates high quality, safe products for babies, children, and parents.
Promising review: "My kids hate wearing bibs and are the messiest eaters I’ve ever seen. I will do two loads of laundry a day because they get so dirty… But not anymore. This apron covers their little arms and all of their clothes so that I don’t have to do the laundry after every single meal! And if it gets gross I pop it in the washer and it’s good as new. I’ve ordered four of them! You need this, your friends need this." —Abigail Wood
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 20 colors and in two sizes).

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

Promising review: "We tried so many creams marketed for eczema (most containing oatmeal) and they all made my baby's eczema worse. We were desperate to find a cream that would help and stumbled upon this cream. It did wonders clearing up his eczema and as long as we use it daily it keeps it from flaring up again, this is glycerin-based and doesn't contain oatmeal." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.97.
17. And a USDA-certified organic baby healing balm that uses cocoa butter and coconut oil to moisturize while chamomile helps to soothe their sensitive skin. If you're dealing with cradle cap, this will be a game changer!
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.
18. A set of peel-and-stick safety straps — they're a lifesaver if your curious cutie has a habit of opening and emptying all the cabinets in your kitchen. You can also put them on your fridge, toilet, drawers, or any other areas you don't want them messing with.
Promising review: "These things are awesome! Super easy to install. I didn't think they'd actually work, because my toddler is a beast, but we have them on our fridge and a few cupboards, and they keep her out :) She pulls pretty hard and they don't budge. They're pretty easy to unlatch, my 7-year-old doesn't have a problem with it. Great purchase!" —Angel Starr

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 $9.98+ (available in two sizes and pre-stocked with toys or by itself).
21. A whale-shaped bath spout cover that'll prevent any accidental head bumps when your baby is having the time of their lives splashing around in the tub. Plus, it's so adorable you might be tempted to keep it on even when they grow out of it.
Promising review: "Whoever came up with this cute idea to place over the bath faucet is a genius! It definitely fully covers the faucet so my grandson won’t hurt himself playing in the tub if his head happens to be too close to it. It also blocks from him seeing the pull lever for the shower. He’s no longer drawn to it to pull it. This was a great buy!" —KadinsGlamma
Get it from Amazon for $9.29+ (available in two colors).
22. A TikTok-famous grape cutter to make preparing your toddler's favorite snack a breeze. It'll quickly quarter them for safer snacking, and you can even use it for grape tomatoes and pitted olives for your own snack time.

Tagalong Kids is a small biz based in Pennsylvania started by parents who wanted to make it easier for parents to get around with multiple kids.
Promising review: "This thing is magical. We had one on a rented stroller when we were in Disney World and it blew our minds how our 'wild toddler' was staying next to us at all times while we had the Tagalong attached. When we got home, we knew we needed one for our everyday lives too. I wish we didn’t wait so long to make this purchase! We use it everywhere and it makes our little guy feel like such a big boy!" —Jennifer M.

Promising review: "Yep! TikTok made me buy it and I loved it. Things definitely look cleaner. spots on my carpet are gone, and my car seats look brand-new for the first time since I bought it! Directions are easy. Just a heads-up, MAKE SURE TO USE WARM WATER. if you leave water in it and it gets cold, it's not as effective, so just follow instructions and it should be wonderful!" —Carlos
Get it from Amazon for $109.59.

The stickers feature letters, numbers, vehicles, butterflies, deep-sea life, animals, fish, dinosaurs, and more.
Promising review: "I love that they are removable. They don’t leave marks on your window. You can even place them back on the plastic sheet and use them again. I have a busy box for my toddler and these stickers are in there. She peels them off and puts them on the lid of the box and then peels them off again and puts them back. She creates scenes with them. She puts them on windows at home. I peel them off and put them back. They really are fantastic stickers." —Elizabeth A. Zapf
Get a pack of 20 sheets from Amazon for $7.99.
26. A carpet cleaner to clean up everything from Spaghetti-O mishaps to grape juice spills in the car. It also works almost instantly — just spray, gently agitate with your fingers, then blot with a cloth!
Promising review: "It’s a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it’s like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy-good cleaning power. I’ve become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." —L. Logan
Get it from Amazon for $12.85+ (available in two sizes and various packs).

Promising review: "I originally purchased it because I was tired of scooping my batter with a measuring cup and dripping along the way, just to have oblong-shaped pancakes. This thing makes the perfect round cakes with no mess! I was skeptical about it holds as much batter as we usually use; enough for four people. It has a built-in stand when you add your ingredients through the bottom and clean up is a breeze. Don’t think twice; just buy it. You won’t regret it!" —Michelle W.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
29. The Pink Stuff's Miracle Multipurpose Cleaner Spray — it's everything you love about The Pink Stuff in a ridiculously convenient spray bottle.

30. A pack of laminated flash cards so bright and stimulating your toddler will barely even realize they're learning! The delightfully illustrated cards will have them mastering their numbers, letters, shapes, and colors in no time.
Promising review: "My 2-year-old mastered the her numbers, alphabet, colors, shapes, and identifies all animals and objects on the cards. When I first received the cards I thought they may be a little too advanced for her age (18mo old at the time), but I was dead wrong! After about a month and a half of using the flash cards she mastered them! We usually 'play' with the flash cards for only about 10 minutes before her bedtime. This is a great tool in the early developmental stages for any toddler. I’m excited to get her the next card set. Material = durable, same as a normal deck of cards. Size = a little bigger than your typical deck of cards. Fits nicely in pocket or purse, great for keeping toddlers busy while traveling. Overall = A+." —M. Abdallah
Get a pack of 58 cards from Amazon for $12.99 (also available for babies).
31. The wildly popular Bug Bite Thing, which uses the simple power of suction to alleviate post-bite itching and swelling. It works on everything from mosquito bites to bee stings, so you'll probably want this in your pocket at all times.
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 $9.95 (also available in a two-pack and a three-pack).

Reviewers swear this brush works on all hair types: straight, wavy, or curly (from 3a–4c hair).
Promising review: "I'm a single dad of a 6-year-old girl and combing her hair is the hardest part of taking care of her. She gets really bad knots in her hair. This brush is the only thing that has ever worked. Thank you so much. She even likes to comb her own hair now." —Eric Phan
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
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in six colors).
33. A cult-favorite Grandma's Secret spot remover that'll remove everything from ketchup stains to Kool-Aid spills. Don't worry, Grandma's got it covered as usual.
Promising review: "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." —Lauren Ruffin
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.19 (also available in various sizes and packs).
34. The Ollie Swaddle, which your baby will love just as much as you thanks to the comfy moisture-wicking and temperature-regulating fabric. It also features a helpful opening at the bottom to help with diaper changing, so this is basically the swaddling blanket upgrade you've been dreaming of.
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: "The Ollie Swaddle is amazing! Wow. I was given two as a gift and honestly I could throw all my other swaddles away. Great material and quality product, I’m so happy with it. This is baby number 5 so I’ve had plenty of experience with different types/brands of swaddles and none of them compare to the Ollie. If you are an expecting mom or looking for a useful gift for a mom to be- this is a must have. Highly recommend." —Jessica P.
Get it from The Ollie World for $59 (available in five colors), Target for $59.99, or Amazon for $69 (available in two colors).
35. A pack of toilet seat covers with a pattern so bright and vibrant it might just make the toilet a little less intimidating for your potty-training toddler. It's also large enough to cover the sides of the toilet, so you can rest assured that their hands and legs are protected as well!
Promising review: "If you're a germaphobe like me, 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.
36. A clever sight word Bingo set that puts an educational twist on the classic game. Instead of numbers, players search for words until their card is covered — so it's perfect for beginner readers.
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 4-year-old granddaughter and I go to the library every weekend. Once she's chosen her books for the week, she loves to 'check out' the games in the children's section. This was one that she wanted to play over and over and over. After the third go-round, I noticed that she was beginning to recognize some of the words on her own. That sold me! The minute I got home I purchased the game so she could play it at home. Every time I go over to her house, we play at least one round of this game, and I can tell her reading skills are increasing. And when we go to the library, she STILL wants to check this game out and play it there! The words on these bingo cards are words that can't be illustrated well — words like "them," "her," "go," "if" - small, mostly conjunctive words, but essential to reading. This game makes it easy and fun to learn those words. I simply can't praise this game enough." —Molly Harrington
Get it from Amazon for $9.04.
37. A sandwich cutter and sealer so you can make tiny portable PB&Js and stop overpaying for those stupidly expensive frozen versions. Go ahead and make a few for the week, throw 'em in the freezer, and grab one when you need a quick on-the-go lunch!
Promising review: "My girls are very picky and all they would eat lately is Uncrustables. Unfortunately, they’re very pricey at $1 a sandwich, so I decided to give this a shot. I’m very happy with this purchase, they cut and seal very nicely. My girls are happy and I’m happy too since I’m saving so much money." —Mom2
Get it from Amazon for $7.96+ (available in 13 styles).
38. A wooden puzzle to keep them away from their iPad for more than five minutes — or at least until it's done charging. They can treat it like a puzzle and try to perfectly fit all the pieces into the frame, or simply get creative and make some fun shapes!
Reviewer's say this is a great toy for all ages — from 3 to 12.
Promising review: "I ordered this for my K–1 after-school class and they line up to use it! It is also a favorite of the autistic children I have in the class — it keeps them calm and focused for a good while. It also helps test determination because it's an easy puzzle until you get to the end and you have to move stuff around to make everything fit! Endless possibilities! I highly recommend it!

Promising review: "We use it at night, during the day at home, and even on the go. With our first baby we had white noise on our phones, this just makes our lives so much easier. We just leave it next to the baby with timer, and she sleeps for a few hours" —Tatiana Figueiredo
Promising review: "This product has been a lifesaver! Our child LOVES the sound of rain/whitenoise and this has calmed her down in the carseat sooooo much. She dislikes the carseat and the portable machine has made our lives easier. We used it about everyday for a month before the batteries finally died. Worth the money 100%." —Brianna
