We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A dishwasher-safe Frida Baby NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator (aka "The Snot Sucker") for quickly clearing out (using the power of a parent's lungs) all of that mucus trapped inside the tiniest of noses.
2. A collapsible Razor scooter that stores just as easily as it ports, meaning kids will want to take it everywhere, which parents will love (because it's so much easier than lugging a bike around).
3. A clippable baby changing station and diaper clutch with enough room for several nappies and a pack of wipes to turn every clean (hopefully) flat surface into a changing table.
4. A two-pack of Munchkin faucet extenders for making already difficult (and messy) tasks like handwashing and teeth brushing easier for the little ones. Fits standard and gooseneck faucets; no tools are required!
5. A washable Fisher-Price "Kick & Play" piano gym that'll grow with your child as they move from playing on their backs to tummy time to sitting upright, all the while playing 20+ minutes of continual tunes!
6. A Bentgo "durable and leakproof" lunch box because it's just as much fun for parents to pack their kids' meals in one of these as it is for them to open it up every day as they move from daycare to preschool and beyond.
7. A toddler llama backpack with just enough storage space for daycare or a fun day out with the fam (think: zoo, park, museum, etc.). We ~llove~ it!
8. An ear and forehead thermometer that not only reads body temps (of very squirmy little creatures) but can also be used to measure food, milk bottle, and bath water temps as well as monitor any room (specifically the nursery) if things are getting too hot or too cold.
9. A Discovery Kids tabletop dry-erase and chalk easel (and paper roll) to grow (and travel) with the budding young artiste while ensuring parents that art projects don't take over too much of the home.
10. A tube of paraben-free baby diaper rash cream made with 40% zinc oxide for keeping baby booties free from painful diaper rash, sealing out moisture, and keeping things nice and dry.
11. And a BPA-free Baby Bum Brush because applying diaper cream with one's fingers (while totally fine for parents) often results in stains on fabrics and lots of handwashing. This butt-spackler gets that unenviable job done in the quickest and cleanest way possible.
12. An ultrasonic cool mist humidifier that'll moisturize air for up to 25 hours straight, helping with anything from dry skin to congestion (for babies, toddlers, kids, and adults). Everyone wins!
13. A 790-piece Lego Classic brick box to start or add to any budding Scandinavian building block collection. Comes with 33 different colored pieces and the ever-important brick separator tool! Fun for the whole fam for years to come!
14. An easy-to-store Little Tikes trampoline because sometimes you just need to get the "zoomies" out of your kids, and going outdoors isn't an option. Let them "bounce it out" in the safety of your home!
15. A wake-up night-light to teach the kids exactly when it's OK to wake up in the morning (not with the roosters — hopefully when the sun has risen and never before a parent has arisen) while providing some overnight illumination and ensuring some quality sleep time (for everyone in the home).
16. A magic jar of Aquaphor Baby healing ointment for keeping any irritated, chafed, or chapped skin in check and restoring it to its healthy (and not angry) levels of smoothness.
17. A wooden Melissa & Doug Deluxe magnetic responsibility chart with 90 magnets featuring responsibilities, positive behaviors, and rewards to encourage good behavior and teach accountability (but, in like, a reasonably fun way).
18. A two-pack of spill-proof, dishwasher-safe Munchkin snack catchers for keeping crumbs to a minimum and not having to constantly pry the family dog's jaw open to see what it's got in its mouth (which as we all know is an impossible task).
19. A pair of Baby Banz infant hearing protection earmuffs so little ears won't have to deal with loud noises (i.e. at concerts and events that adults often enjoy the most). But maybe wait 'til they're a little older to take them to the Monster Truck rally.
20. A kids' detangle hair brush with long bristles to easily glide through medium, thick, and curly hair. Start from the bottom and work to the root to avoid any potential hair-related meltdowns.
21. A BPA-free "Moby" safety bath spout cover that keeps bathtime safe and fun and prevents the little ones from bonking themselves on hard, sharp metallic objects (it happens more than you can imagine).
22. A machine-washable wrap baby carrier, which grows from newborn to toddler, so when parents need both hands-free, and the stroller is not an option, they can just comfortably strap their little one to their torso and go, go, go!
23. A 90-count supply of saline nose wipes because when that little nose starts to run, it's not a jog; it's an Usain Bolt-like sprint to sticky snot getting anywhere and everywhere. These things are like booger magnets!
24. A bilingual LeapFrog Learning Friends 100 Words Book so that when kids touch each picture, they hear the animals teach age-appropriate words along with facts and sound effects in English and Spanish. Also great for parents trying to learn that second language too (like me!).
25. A pair of machine-washable, water-repellent stroller gloves that are roomy (re: adjustable) enough to be shared by both parents (even while wearing a heavy winter coat) and cozy enough to keep those hands warm while slipping in and out to tend to your baby or toddler.
26. A leakproof, easy-to-clean CamelBak kids water bottle that'll last as long as the kids don't lose it and keep them hydrated on the reg throughout the day. All they have to do is "flip, bite, sip, and drink through the straw."
