1. An electric sterilizer and dryer so you can have a big batch of up to *11* bottles (and accessories like teethers, pacifiers, and plastic toys) clean and dry in just eight minutes.
The brand recommends using distilled water for safety and to prevent scale buildup.
Promising review: "A godsend. This is one of the best and smartest purchases I made. We were so tired of scrubbing all the bottle parts by hand continuously throughout the day. And the sanitizer option on our dishwasher takes three hours. Now we soak the parts in hot soapy water, then quickly rinse and place in this sanitizer and it is so quick. So much easier to get bottles clean and ready while dealing with babies demands." —Crystal Fisher
Get it from Amazon for $69.95.
2. A wall-mounted Fischer-Price bedtime routine system that's designed to help your kid get from playtime to dreamland in less time and with less fuss. Once they complete each task, they can press the button to illuminate the icon for that task for a little extra fun! And that's not all — it's also a soothing sound machine and has a built in nightlight. PLUS the star is a sleep training you can program to let your kid know what time to get up in the morning (so they're not coming to your room at 5:15 am).
Promising review: "We have a strong-willed 4-year-old who would fight us every step of the way during morning and night routines. What used to take almost an hour to get her through a routine now takes less than 30 minutes. She loves being able to push the remote button and work through each task. This has been a game changer and has made mornings and nights so much easier! Worth every penny and definitely recommend. The app could be better as you can’t set different routines for one day; however, you can save a number of routines so you just have to manually change them each day." —AUser88
Get it from Amazon for $65.89.
3. A TikTok famous cereal and snack dispenser so kids can dispense their very own Cheerios *without* dumping the box accidentally allover the kitchen floor. And bonus: your kitchen will feel like a thrilling hotel buffet bar.
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 $17.72.
4. A pack of colorful hanging cups you can place at kid-height so they can practice self-sufficiency and get their very own glass of water without interrupting what you're doing. Or end up washing cup after cup after cup.
Promising review: "Got a set for the fridge and one for the bathroom! My kids love using these. No longer do I wash four cups a day because someone wants a drink! Each child has a color all to themselves. Sticks on well and comes off clean." —Excited Mommy
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $28.99 (available in three colors).
5. A pair of Sock Ons for wee ones who just l o v e to pull their socks off. (Why?? You have toys!) These soft and stretchy add-ons sit on top of the sock to keep them on their cute toesies snugly, but comfortably — instead of scattered all over the floor.
These are designed for ages 6–12 months.
Promising review: "These things are GREAT! I normally wouldn't spend money on something that seemed kind of silly like this, but my sister-in-law gave me a box of baby stuff when I had my second kid and there were two pair or "Sock Ons" in there and I had no idea what they were, but let me tell you... they are HANDY to have! So much, that I got on Amazon and bought a pink pair for my daughter (since the ones I got from her were blue) They keep the socks from falling off non-stop. Without these, her socks will fall off like.. 100 times a day and with these they only come off maybe once or twice, if she is kicking a lot. It is cold here right now so I love that they keep her socks on and keep her feet warmer. These would be a good purchase by a parent and a GREAT purchase for a gift, because it's something a lot of people won't buy themselves unless they know that they work! The ONLY downfall is that they cover up part of the sock design.. which some of the little baby socks are cute... but it's worth it!" —zoey1012
Get it from Amazon for $8.04+ (available in three colors/styles).
6. A TikTok-famous grape cutter to make halving your tot's favorite snack much quicker and easier. But that's not all — it also works on small tomatoes (even olives!) for easy salad prep at dinnertime. You'll be surprised how much time this little gadget saves.
Promising review: "Initially, I really felt silly and lazy for buying this. But after using it, I feel like a genius and wish I bought it sooner! My kiddos love grapes and I love how it gives me a slight peace of mind knowing it can gets diced up, allowing me to briefly walk away if I need to with less worry. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and I tell everyone how awesome it is!" —Dom
Promising review: "I cannot believe that I’ve spent so much time in the past just slicing grapes and olives. This tool is absurd, ridiculous and absolutely wonderful. The pieces are just the perfect size for salads, either savory or sweet. I’m looking forward to trying it on grape tomatoes, too. I would give it more stars if I could." —Minnie A. Hamilton
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
7. And an apple corer and cutter so you can slice 'n' serve perfectly snack-size pieces in one simple motion, instead of tediously coring and chopping. Sprinkle with cinnamon or serve with peanut butter — you might even be able to swipe a slice for yourself.
8. An activity table specifically designed to make the life-flashing-before-your-eyes pain of stepping on a Lego piece a thing of the past. It has a flippable top (plain on one side, ~construction base~ material on the other that's compatible with most building bricks for added structure!), plus built-in drawers kids can sliiiide pieces into after playtime is over to keep everything neat and tidy — without you needing to pitch in to pick up block by block oh-so carefully.
Promising review: "If your kids have Legos, you NEED this table. I think this is one of the best purchases I've made for my kids, I wish i would have got it a couple of years ago. Now there is no more stepping on Legos on the floor or finding Legos in every box and drawer in the house. Now I can sit on the sofa rather then the floor when my kids want me to help them build. The kids now keep all the Legos together on the table or in the drawers. Love it!" —mary
Get it from Amazon for $95.99 (available in three colors).
9. And a slide-away storage bag for all the other miscellaneous toys that are littering the playroom floor. The drawstring compartment also = a playmat(!) so once your kid is ready to stop, just pull the drawstring closed....and all the toys are put away at once. Gasp!
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 $69.99 (available in four colors).
10. Elastic shoelaces that fit onto adult *and* kids' shoes so both of you can get out the door quickly when needed. We love a knot-tying practice session, but sometimes we need to make the most of every second to be on time.
As you can see, they *do* tie, they just also streeetch so you don't have to tie (or untie) them to get feet in and out. That makes 'em extra comfy too!
Promising review: "Love everything about these — packaging, quality and saving me time with a kindergartener!" —Ronna Beal
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in 9 sizes and 14 colors).

12. A rapid mac 'n' cheese cooker for those days that your kiddo (or you tbh) is turning up their nose at dinner and just wants to have one of their fave comfort foods but you don't really feel like turning on your stove or dealing with a strainer. This handy kitchen gadget has your back — you just need five minutes and a microwave (vs 20 minutes the old-fashioned way). And it's so easy, kids can use it themselves!
Here's how it works: Pour in the macaroni and add enough water to the fill line. Then microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Remove, stir, and microwave two more minutes, then add the other ingredients per the mac 'n' cheese instructions. Check out a TikTok of the rapid mac cooker in action.

Promising review: "I got this for my 2-year-old daughter's birthday and she LOVES it. She is a little nervous on the playground and she took to this right away. It folds down easily and sets up easily — the design is brilliant. It was actually so easy that I watched the 30-second setup video just to be sure I got it right lol. My 8-year-old son got on it too and it held up. We live in an apartment so this is something that she can climb on safely without taking up a ton of space. Love this product!!" —jenna

14. A handy dandy car seat buckle release tool (that was featured on Shark Tank!) so you can quickly and easily unlatch your kid's car seat buckle with a little extra leverage (and less thumb pain) — and without holding up the whole carpool line. If you have long nails you're tired of breaking, have arthritis or limited hand strength, or have an older sibling helper, this product is for you.
Promising review: "I love this because pushing the button on a 5-point harness can be difficult, time consuming, and sometimes just annoying. The unbuckleme product helped me unbuckle my child’s car seat easily from the driver seat so he can then remove himself from his car seat and be ready for me to open the back door and exit the car. Also, for anyone who likes to have longer nails, I’ve broken my thumb nail too many times to count while unbuckling the car seat. This product? Saves that from happening! It’s definitely worth the money." —Alexia

Check out why a mom calls this pouch topper the "coolest thing" in this TikTok.
Promising review: "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

Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze it. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." —Kimberly C.

"The holy grail of sippy cups!! This cup is THE BOMB! No leaking, easy to clean. My 18-month-old, who wants to do and have everything like his 6-year-old brother, loves this cup! Both boys use them. Not too babyish for my older one and easy enough that my little guy can use them, so we now have four of them! I’m sure a couple more are in our future! And the price is great." —shoelover

Promising review: "So far it is amazing! It picks up SO much dirt and hair. We have three dogs and a cat and my floors are spotless. We decided to get this cheaper one to see if it was something that would work for us and I am amazed! For the first week, we let it run everyday. We made sure we picked everything up and it only got stuck one time and that was because it went behind our couch that had been moved out accident. During week two, I did the maintenance on it and it was super simple. We use it every other day and have it schedule to run just before we get home. This thing even picks up cat litter! If you are on the fence, try it. Has made my life so much easier not having to sweep every day!" —Kathryn P.

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

I don’t mind applying normal diaper rash cream, I just hate the messy fingers. My kiddo is a wiggle worm and anything that requires her to be on a changing table longer we try to avoid. This is seriously amazing and makes it so much easier to use regularly. I can’t attest to healing bad diaper rash, but I would recommend at least trying it. I’ve already purchased three for all our changing stations. Again, Honest you should sponsor me, just saying." —Carisa in DFW

Promising review: "I bought this to install in my bathroom so my 1-year-old son wouldn't be able to bite the toilet paper roll. It was easy to set up. It only has two screws with the drywall screw part if you don't have a stud where you want to install it – and it was complete in less than five minutes. He can push the lid up, but he can't grab the paper and hold the lid up at the same time, so it's working well for us." —Cathryn List

36. An Itzy Ritzy adjustable stroller organizer so you can keep all of your must-haves within easy reach (and looking stylish!) so you don't have to waste time finding a wipe for your kid's ice cream–covered face or dig endlessly through your bag for your credit card while at the grocery checkout.

Both of us girls have long and thick curly hair, and it allows us to brush through our hair with no problems! And my son mostly uses it to style his hair before gel, and because it smells so good!

39. A set of plastic knives designed for children so they can actually help you prep dinner and learn a thing or two *while* preventing any ouchies. The serrated blades make it easy to cut through yummy crunchy veggies without being sharp enough to cut skin. That means you'll have a couple of fewer veggies to chop, and your focused kiddo will mean fewer interruptions while you prep everything else.
Of course, children should still be supervised while using these knives!
Promising review: "I’ve only had these for a couple of days, but already my 4-year-old daughter keeps asking me for things to chop up. They’re perfect for the little chef in your life or the kid who want to be a big helper. So far she’s easily (and safely) chopped up: lettuce, apples, bananas, strawberries, potatoes, even carrots! I can run my hand along the blade and not cut myself and yet it’s designed in a way that you can still chop through veggies and fruits. Another pro is they are super easy to clean and dishwasher safe. They came exactly as pictures for me: in three different sizes and colors, with a slight grip texture on the handle for little hands. They’re nice and lightweight as well so it’s not cumbersome for younger kids. Love them!" —Abby Roeller

40. A pack of 12 truly genius magnetic cabinet locks you can attach to your drawers and cabinets with just adhesive (that means no drilling!) in a few minutes. And unlike complicated child locks, these unlock easily with one of two included magnetic keys, so you'll save time and frustration when looking through drawers and cupboards.
And because they go inside, that means they won't change the look of your furniture — but still prevent curious kiddos from rummaging around in drawers that are off limits.
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

41. An allover bib that covers way more of your tot than the old school ones, *plus* their high chair (if you so choose) so you don't have to wipe down the tray and remove stains from their clothes what seems like 85 times per day. Baby-led weaning can get pretty messy, so this is sure to help.
Promising review: "I wish I found this sooner. I could have saved myself so much time, energy, and money. I spent so much time cleaning up food after meals. Food would end up EVERYWHERE! I could never really keep the high chair clean, even with using a silicone bib. And high chairs aren’t cheap (not brand new at least). When avocado got stuck in the seat buckle, I started looking for something to help me with the tedious task of meal cleanup. The first time I used this bib I had mixed feelings because my toddler pulled at the fabric that covered the tray table causing the food that was on it to fall to the floor. So, this kept my little one clean but I would have to sit there the entire time and make sure he didn’t pull or tug at the fabric so that nothing fell off the tray. Well then I got smarter and placed the fabric on the tray but under the removable tray. Then once everything is in place correctly, place the removable tray over the fabric. OMG!! This is a game changer!!! Cleanup now takes five minutes. 👍" —Pomaika’inani

42. And a pack of labeled chore sticks with a mix of pre-labelled tasks (clean your room, wipe down the baseboards, etc.), a few blank sticks you can fill in yourself, AND a few fun surprise tasks (like "dance to one song!") to keep things exciting! Your kids might even...ask to pick out a stick? Getting your kids to help around the house just got a little easier, and your to-do list just got a little shorter.
The set comes with 42 printed sticks and 8 blank ones you can fill out.
Promising review: "Forget chore charts, these chore sticks are amazing! Our kids, (12, 10 and 8 ) are voluntarily doing chores so they can choose a stick and begging for extra chore sticks!!! ! Love that there are blank sticks to add in our own chores to fit our family. Perfect!! You won’t be disappointed! Fun genius way to get kids excited to do chores!!!!" —LuluFinn
