1. A 30-count of disposable, waterproof splash mats to place under your toddler's high chair so when they decide for the umpteenth time they no longer like *insert any food that used to be their favorite here* and think, "now is a good time to launch this on the floor" you'll be prepared. No need to mop/vacuum multiple times a day 🙃.
Promising reviews: "I always hated going out to eat because my baby would make such a mess on the ground. I always tried my best cleaning it up but I couldn't get all of it. This makes my life so much easier. Parenting is hard enough, give yourself a break. I always get compliments on it by staff." —Esmeralda
Get a 30-piece roll from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three designs).
2. Jumbo Crayons even the tiniest of hands will be able to grasp and create absolute masterpieces with — by which I mean scribbles that *hopefully* end up on paper not your walls.
Promising review: "My 1-year-old has drawn on our cabinets and a variety of other places. I was able to wipe away easily with baby wipes. It’s also a great size for my son's little hands and writes as well as any other crayon that is not washable. Highly recommend" —jalisa
Get a pack of 18 from Amazon for $9.34.
PS — you might also want to pick up a coloring roll to give 'em plenty to of space to draw.
3. Washable dot markers, so the next time your tyke demands to paint you won't have to mentally prepare yourself for a next-level mess. Hand 'em over to your little artist and relax while they craft you something beautiful.
Doodle Hog is a small business! We have similar versions of these at home, and they are SO much easier to use/clean up than actual paint (which my toddler demands to craft with constantly). I would absolutely gift these to another toddler without fear of burdening a fellow parent with a huge mess.
Promising review: "My toddler loves these. They are easy to hold and operate. They don’t dry up too fast, and the ink doesn’t flow too quickly, either. Perfect for a hand to hold and dot with. Easy to clean off hands when art gets a little messy." —Monika
Get a set of eight from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in a set of 16).
4. Crayola Color Wonder Frozen Coloring Pages and Markers, so kids can color to their heart's content without also creating a rainbow of chaos all over themselves and your home — the markers *only* color on the special paper that comes with the kit.
My mom got these for my son (who is 2 years old at the time of this writing), and it has been SUCH a game-changer for us. He loves to color and paint, and demands to do so often, which usually results in a lot of setup, a lot of cleanup, and only about 10 minutes of him actually being entertained. With this kit, we can leave the markers out alongside the coloring book, and he can come and go to it as he feels fit. Thankfully, they really do ONLY color on the magic paper. It's become a must-have item in our home, and I'll totally be gifting it to other toddler parents.
Get it from Amazon for $7.77 (available in three themes).
5. An over-the-door stuffed animal organizer, because somehow at the age of two, your child has accumulated a concerning amount of plush pals. This will *attempt* to keep 'em contained and hopefully save your back from lots of bending to put them back in a basket on the floor.
Honeyera is a small business that sells items specifically designed to keep kids' toys organized.
Promising review: "This holds a ton of stuffed animals. I bought it for my two girls, who share a room, and their beds are overrun with stuffies. This holds so much so they can still be on display; it's easy for them to get them in and out except for the top basket, and it matches their room colors. Great quality and easy to use." —The Word Of A King
Get it from Amazon for $27.50 (available in nine colors).
6. Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray you'll be very glad you bought after you let your kiddo eat spaghetti in public for the first time — trust me.
Promising review: "My 1-year-old has taco meat stains ALL over the sleeves of his shirt. Stains were two to three days old too. I sprayed shirt, let it sit for about 15 mins and then washed shirt with regular laundry soap. Almost every bit of the stains came out. Definitely buying bulk in this product!" —Sloan Avery
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in a variety of quantities)
7. And/or an enzyme-based spot cleaner that'll have you and your kiddo's clothes looking like you just pulled them off the rack in a store (yes, even after letting your tyke go to town on an ice cream cone).
Promising review: "I have two small boys, so I use a lot of stain remover! I liked this one because it's free and gentle, and it hasn't failed me yet. I’ve been using it for over a year now and plan to continue." —Cami Spackman
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
Check out our full review of Puracy Natural Laundry Stain Remover.
8. A sand removal bag filled with a talc-free, reef-friendly powder that'll help remove the pesky particles your kiddo will likely have all over them after rolling around in the local playground's sandbox....lovely.
See it in action on TikTok here.
Shakalo is a San Diego–based small business that started to figure out a way to help people, especially parents remove sand before leaving the beach. The soft fabric pouch allows the powder to remove the sand without scattering everywhere.
Promising review: "We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there. This item has changed our entire lives! It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1x–2x a week. I even use it on my dogs paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of. I will definitely be buying the refill and another bag to have exclusively in the car." —Gabbs Uresti
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two sizes).
9. A car seat buckle release tool that'll save both your nails and your precious time! No one wants to struggle to open those (thankfully) extremely secure buckles while they're kiddo is hitting a pitch that could likely break glass because they've spotted the slide, and they MUST get to it immediately.
Watch this mom explain why this tool has been a game-changer in this TikTok.
This gadget doesn't attach to the car seat, so no need to fret about kiddo's unbuckling themselves while you're driving. UnbuckleMe is a small business.
Promising review: "Love that my kindergartner can unbuckle himself. It makes morning school drop-off SO MUCH EASIER! And he likes the independence of being able to do it himself!" —Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in six colors).
10. A stroller caddy in a variety of stylish colors — it has adjustable straps to ensure it'll fit basically any stroller you've got, and you can use it to store your keys, sunglasses, your own bev, and whatever other necessity you can think of when going to the park with your kiddo.
Promising review: "Fits TWO STURDY 40oz Stanley cups! So pretty and elegant. It is smaller, but my daughter is a toddler, so I don't need wipes or diapers. With both cups it can still fit my phone, wallets, keys, sunglasses, etc. The Velcro strap goes down into the pouch, making support that doesn't slide down the stroller handles like other pouches. So great! Highly recommend." —Sydni
Get it from Amazon for $18.79+ (available in eight styles).
11. A portable car vacuum that'll help you battle the seemingly endless amount of dirt and sand that somehow make their way into every tiny crevice of your car.
Promising review: "I was a little skeptical at first seeing all the mixed reviews, but I wish I had taken a pic of my driver's side cause that was the worst of it, but there was a lot of buildup from me just not having the time or energy to clean my car, but this vacuum is AMAZING! You can see the clear difference between those two photos. 11/10 would HIGHLY recommend." —Kayla
Get it from Amazon for $37.99.
12. A food and juice box holder for any parent who has made the grave error of handing their toddler a pouch or juice box only to watch them squeeze the contents all over — this holder let them feed themselves without the mess.
Watch this mama's review of the flipping holder in this TikTok. Flipping Holder is a small business!
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 a pack of two from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in eight combos).
13. A JellyCap you can pop onto most regular bottles and watch as it magically transforms it into a makeshift sippy cup.
Find out why this parent calls this is one of their "coolest" Amazon finds in this TikTok.
Promising review: "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).
14. A travel urinal — a saving grace for when your child, once again, has to pee even though you *JUST* asked them 10x if they had to go.
Watch this mom's review on TikTok.
Promising review: "I purchased this for my son and our long car trips. How many times can we pull over to potty on a three-and-a-half hour car trip? Ask my 4-year-old. When I saw this, I couldn't resist. We brought it along, and when he had to pee, no problem. It's only a little gross when you dump it later. Well designed, definitely recommend." —Evan
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in eight colors).
15. And a pack of toilet seat covers that'll bring you peace of mind knowing your toddler's tush never has to touch a grime-filled public toilet. You might want to use it yourself, TBH.
Promising review: "Must-have! If you have a toddler these are a MUST! We travel and it gives us peace of mind knowing that no matter where we are, as long as we have these covers we can safely take her to the bathroom and everything is OK. Before we found these, I used to be super stressed when she would ask to use the bathroom and we were out and about but not anymore. They have cute colors and are big enough." —Dayanna Pita
Get a pack of 24 covers from Amazon for $9.99.
16. Toddler Shoe Helpers — themed stickers to place inside your kiddo's sneakers to help them learn which shoe goes on which foot. Fingers crossed this helps your entire family get out the door on time for once (no promises though, you still have a toddler after all).
ERobertsCreativeCo is a small business!
Promising review: "These were perfect for nieces! Very well made, and they stay on!!" —Ana Reza
Get them from ERobertsCreativeCo on Etsy for $8.50+ (available in two themed packs).
17. A grape cutter because who on earth wants to spend their precious time cutting grapes??? This lil' gadget will ensure your kiddo's favorite fruit is the perfect size without costing you an entire afternoon. Toss 'em into a container, throw 'em in your diaper bag, and head out to the park.
Watch a mom quartering grapes in a flash with this tool on TikTok.
Promising review: "I was stubborn initially and didn’t believe in getting something to cut my kid’s grapes. I would cut them by hand. My friend told me about it and I caved in and bought it. I shouldn’t have been stubborn! I can literally cut more grapes in half the time! If you’re reading this, do not be stubborn, just get it! It will save you time! I even managed to cut blue berries with them!" —Kao
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
18. A pack of spill-proof Munchkin snack catchers so your kiddo can grab a lil' treat whenever the mood strikes without making a crumbly mess all over.
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 $5.99+ (available in three color combos and in two count sizes).
19. Baby Bum SPF 50 Sunscreen, a must-have for parents and their littles — it's unscented, moisturizing, 100% mineral based, vegan, cruelty-free, and dye-free. It'll certainly get the job done!
I've use this on my son and it's great! In a pinch, I've used it on myself as well. It rubs in easily (thankfully because putting sunscreen on kids is a TASK and a half) and smells nicely of coconut. I also use Sun Bum's Sunscreen Stick on my son's face, which is equally fantastic, because it's easier to apply in a pinch than a cream.
Note: sunscreen is only made for children over the age of 6 months.
Promising review: "This is the only mineral sunscreen I will use or put on my children. It's the only brand I've tried that goes on smooth and not super thick, and doesn't leave a white residue. Works great and no harmful ingredients, what's not to love!" —Natalie Anderson
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
20. A leave-in conditioning spray for curly hair free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates you can count on to revive your mini-me's precious curls after an eventful night of rolling around like a wild thing. (How do they get such intense bed head?!?)
Reviewers say this spray will leave wavy or curly hair (from 2a–4c hair) shiny, soft, and bouncy. SoCozy is a small business!
Promising review: "This stuff is fantastic for curly girls! I spray it in my daughter's dry hair in the morning, run my fingers through her ringlets (never ever comb or brush curly hair dry), then clip the top back. It smells amazing, and the price on Amazon is better than other national retailers I've found it at. The price is worth it. Minimizes frizz and keeps curls soft and natural looking. My daughter has soft/fine thick hair." —Carolyn Smith
Get it from Amazon for $9.49 (also available in a two pack).
21. A touchless forehead thermometer with a built-in sensor that'll make taking your tyke's temperature a breeze. Perfect for any parents that err on the side of caution and find themselves checking their kiddo's temp anytime they look a bit flushed (ahem, me).
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 $15.99.
22. And a pack of soothing stick-on gel pads, a must have for cold and flu season — they're designed to fit kids' foreheads and provide cooling relief for up to eight hours.
Each pack contains four sheets.
Promising review: "A must-have in my house! I absolutely LOVE this product. I have a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old, and it works wonders! For persistent fevers, I put one sheet on their forehead, then cut a second sheet in half (one placed on their back, another on the abdomen). If it's really bad, I'll cut it into fourths (both underarms, both inner thighs) to keep control of the main heat sources. My kids have no problem sleeping with them on. They stay solidly cool for about five hours and cooler than room temp for another two hours. They don't hurt at all when it's time to peel off — way easier than a bandaid! It's also great for boo-boos. Instead of expecting my 3-year-old to hold an ice pack on his face after knocking it on the coffee table, I just cut one of those strips to the appropriate size, stick it to the boo-boo, and we're good to go!" —Gracie's Choice
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $13.99.
23. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your kid-made messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time.
Promising review: "A must-have for toddler moms! My 3-year-old recently decided to channel his inner Van Gogh on our stairwell wall, and red crayon was EVERYWHERE. I tried every possible cleaning solution, and nothing was getting it off. I heard about the Pink Stuff on TikTok and decided it was worth a shot. This stuff is a miracle worker! With a sponge and some elbow grease, I was able to remove all the crayon within 10 minutes. There’s absolutely no trace of the crayon left, and it didn’t ruin my paint!" —Casey Blaine
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
24. Magnetic locks you won't need to be a handy man to seamlessly install — you stick 'em in and then use a provided magnet to lock/unlock your cabinets as needed. Easy peasy.
The set comes with locks (with strong 3M double-sided tape on the back) and two keys.
Promising review: "These are awesome! I spent hours with a drill and screwdriver installing push down locks on cupboards five years ago. I now have another crawling baby, and those ones are all broken. I was dreading installing new ones and saw these. They literally go on in seconds, the bracket means it lines up perfectly, and the adhesive is strong! My older kids think the magnet key is super fun. Baby stays out of the chemicals, and I put one on the trash door so the dog stays out of the trash so everyone gets to live longer. Win-win. I also love that you can 'turn' them off and on so when my kids are bigger we can flip the switch but if little kids were visiting, we could put them back on." —Joseph J. Krakker
Get them from Amazon for $29.99 (available in five quantities).
25. An inexpensive baby gate featuring a pressure mount you'll adore because you won't have to drill holes into your walls (a big win). It's easy to install and easy for adults to open with one-hand, which you'll definitely be thankful for when you're trying to carry your toddler and open it at the same time.
This gate is capable of expanding to fit openings between 29–34 and 35-38.5 inches wide. This gate will not fit an opening between 34–35 inches. It also stands 30 inches tall. Make sure to measure your opening before you buy to ensure proper fit.
Anyways, I have two of these gates in my home and it has been absolutely essential to keeping my toddler contained/safe in my split level home. We have a lot of stairs seemingly ALL OVER THE PLACE which is not ideal for a roaming toddler. It took my husband no time at all to put them up (shout out to the pressure mount feature) which was ideal. They're very simple for adults to open, but despite my son's best efforts he can't seem to figure it out (ideal as he's only a year and a half old). Would also be great for pet owners!
Promising review: "Best gate I have ever owned. I have two small kids, a dog, and two cats. Plus lots of stairs. I have gone through so many gates in the last three years. Most broke over time or came loose. This gate is worth 20 stars. Amazing quality. It has stood the test of time! reliable, sturdy, easy to use, easy to install. The gate swings both ways! That's a HUGE plus. I feel so secure having it knowing that there is no way my kids or dog can knock it down or get over it. It is tall too. Buy this one. Coming from the girl who is the queen of gates. This one is one-and-done. IF we need to purchase more gates in the future I will come straight back to this product and seller." —L. Randall
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
26. A modern high chair from Stokke that'll transform into a perfectly-sized mini chair as your child grows. They'll be able to use it right up against your kitchen table to dine alongside the family and it'll look great alongside your other furniture.
This high chair can really do it all. It holds up to 300 pounds (!!!) and it has an adjustable seat and footplate positions for the utmost comfort. Additionally, when your tyke outgrows the need for a highchair, you can remove the pieces to turn it into an actual chair for their playroom! We've tried a few high chairs out (as is a perk of my job, obviously) and this one is my crowned winner. My son fits the mostly comfortably in it, it's the easiest to clean (BY FAR!), and the legs don't stick out very far (so no one is tripping over them). I love that it comes in an array of stylish colors (we have walnut to match our wood floors and furniture) and that it can be used into toddlerhood. He's 2 years old now (wahhh) and still fits comfortably in the Tripp Trapp. Not only does he eat all of his meals in it, but he also happily sits in it to do fun crafts. I'm 100% getting another one for my next baby (due in a few weeks of this writing) and adding on the newborn bundle so she can sit at the table with us. It's definitely one of the items I recommend everyone to put on their registry!
Promising review: "I have tried several other high chairs and they are so difficult to clean and bulky. I wish I would have started with this one! You can pull it right up to the table, it's not bulky at all, and it's so incredibly easy to clean. Don't let the price scare you... Spend the money... Out of everything baby/toddler related, a high chair is the thing you use the most on a daily basis and for the longest amount of time so making sure you love it is crucial!" —Kelli Novak
Get it from Amazon for $319 (available in 17 colors).
27. A sandwich cutter and sealer that'll make it easier than ever to make Smuckers Uncrustables copycats at home — embrace your love of kid-friendly meals once and for all!
I took the plunge and ordered this lil' kit and it was SO easy to use. My first attempt (pictured above) took literally two seconds to do. My bread was on the smaller side, but it still produced a perfect crust-less PB&J!
Promising review: "A must-have. As a mom of two, ages 2 and 5, who HATE crust this is a lifesaver! It saves so much money to buy these instead of Uncrustables." —Baleigh W
Get it from Amazon for $15.97.
28. A scavenger hunt you can count on to keep your little ones busy during bad weather days — TBH, I'd have a blast tackling this myself as an adult!
Mollybee Kids is a small business!
Promising review: "A must-have. My 2-year-old son is obsessed. Always asks to play the 'find you' game LOL. Then we play it and every option on the game he actually thinks really hard then says 'come on mommy' and runs me through the house to find the object. Highly recommended from a mom of four." —Britney bansley
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
29. A detangling brush that'll glide through knots like fish through water — no more throw down fights while trying to style your kiddo's hair.
Reviewers swear this brush works on all hair types: straight, wavy, or curly (from 3a–4c hair).
Promising reviews: "Brushing hair was a nightmare for my toddler. She is so happy with this item, She brushes her hair by herself now. This is a must-have brush, especially for mixed kids or Afro hair." —pelin ercan
"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 nine colors).
30. A pack of brilliant light switch extenders that'll let tykes turn them on all on their own! Don't be surprised if you catch them humming Kelly Clarkson's "Miss Independent" soon.
These install in minutes on standard light switches.
Promising review: "Must-have for toddlers! Perfect solution! As my toddler's independence soars, so do frustrations. This light switch extender pack was a great buy. He can now turn on the lights in his room and bathroom. Installation was easy and works as expected." —AW
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.34.
31. Sink extenders so you won't need to muster up Herculean strength every time your surprisingly dense toddler wants to wash their sticky little paws.
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 $11.44.
32. A bath toy organizer reviewers swear actually sticks to their walls — as a parent, I can tell you there is nothing worse than hearing the toys you just put away tumble loudly into the tub. Good suction is a must.
Tub Cubby is a small business!
Promising review: "This has been a game-changer for the whole bath toy tub time mess problem. The toys hang on the bath wall and dry in the mesh bag. It's great and holds a lot of toys! And it doesn't take up any space in the bathroom. Definitely a must-have for any toddler!" —Katie V.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and pre-stocked with toys or by itself).
33. A pack of corner guards that'll make all of the sharp corners of your home a lot less daunting — when your toddler starts, well, toddling you won't have to follow behind them with each step they take.
Promising review: "Must-have for small children. When my toddler was running one day and smoked the corner of the island I knew I had to do something. These were perfect. They stuck on the corners great and most importantly will prevent the need for stitches if your child doesn't make a wide enough turn." —Tev
Get a pack of 18 from Amazon for $8.98+ (also available in a 24-pack).
34. A whale-shaped bath spout cover, so your tyke can splish and splash without accidentally hitting their head on the ever-interesting-to-them spout. You're welcome.
Promising review: "My 1-year-old was always getting close to the faucet to play with the water and would end up crying all the time because he would end up bumping his head. But this saved him from that. Now he gets to enjoy the water without bumping his head, and if he does it won't hurt him since the whale is made of rubber. It's a plus that I can hang the spray tub lower and not have to stretch in my tippie toes every night. It's adjustable, so it fits pretty much all the faucets. This is a must-have if you have little ones." —Sam
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two colors).
35. An ingenious cup catcher you can count on to save you from endlessly bending down to grab the cup your surprisingly strong tyke has thrown with the strength of The Hulk across the room (which never fails to be quite impressive, TBH).
Watch this mom explain why "you need this" cup catcher on TikTok.
Promising review: "The cup catcher has become an absolute staple in our household. My 1-year old is constantly dropping things on the floor. With the cup catcher, we are able to secure cups, bottles, and toys to my son's high chair, stroller, and car seat so that his things don't wind up on the dirty floor. We currently have two: one for the car and one that goes between the high chair and stroller. I am considering buying a third." —Matthew & Julia G.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 13 styles).
36. A Zak Designs BPA-free, leakproof cup that'll make transitioning off a bottle during the day a breeze — and they really and truly do not leak (phew) so when your toddler shakes it upside down (and they will) you won't have a fountain of water to mop up.
I cannot even begin to tell you just how many toddler cups I've tried out for my son before settling on these. They really don't leak, he can't open/close it for fun like he does with flip-top cups, and he has no issue using the straw (I think because it's thicker than most!). I personally like that they come in a bunch of fun styles. We have the Bluey cup (shown above) as well as a two-pack featuring Mario and Luigi. My favorite feature, however, is that I can toss it into the dishwasher for easy cleaning!
Promising review: "These are the best toddler cups I've found for my 1-year-old. They are pretty much spill proof, but he is actually still able to drink out of them without much effort. They break down easily for the dishwasher. I've already purchased a second set so we're never without a clean one." —kshu
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in eight styles).
37. A Tushbaby hip carrier you may have seen across your TikTok travels — parents love how much it saves their backs and that it has a ton of pockets for storage.
It's recommended for children between 8 and 45 pounds and can be used in four different holding positions — feeding/breastfeeding, side carrying, front facing, and face-to-face.
Tushbaby is a small business run by three California mamas and specializes in products that bring a little more ease to everyday parenting life.
Promising review: "My 1-year-old is super wiggly and so heavy. The TushBaby helps to solve that because I can’t put her in a regular carrier for more than five minutes before she gets upset. Using this carrier, I can pick her up and put her down to explore and much as needed and it really helps alleviate all the weight off my back. I use it around the house as well as when we’re out. Very convenient and quick to put on and adjust." —Nadia M
Get it from Amazon for $84.99.
38. A pack of child-safe charger covers, so when you're trying to revive your forever-dead phone, you won't have to worry about your toddler gnawing away or playing with a rogue wire.
Geddy's Mom is a small business that develops gadgets to keep baby safe and clear of things that could hurt them.
Promising review: "Not only are these cute and I love the color but they aren't as easy for a smart baby to open — my 1-year-old is super smart. The quality of it is very good. 👍🏼 I definitely recommend this. 👌🏼" —Elisabeth M.
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in four colors).
