1. A bed rail that'll keep your toddler safe and snug in their "big kid bed" — no matter how much they roll around during the night.
Promising review: "This is a lifesaver literally and figuratively speaking lol. We are first time parents and made the biggest mistake of bringing our 1-year-old to our bed when she would wake up in the middle of the night two to three times. We wake up early and just decided to bring her to bed with us. Now she no longer wants to sleep in her crib SMH. She is a wild sleeper and fell from our bed twice. I immediately got my phone to order this online. We absolutely LOVE it!!!!!!! We don't have to keep waking up to see if she is near the edge of the bed or anything like that. These bed rails are long (wish they were longer) and of excellent quality! I have woken up and she is literally right on the edge and the rail is keeping her from falling. She weighs 26 lbs. Good quality and strong enough to hold a crazy sleeper!!" —Pseudopod
Get it from Amazon for $22.94+ (available in three sizes).
2. A pill organizer with locking compartments so you can guarantee your inquisitive kiddo won't get into your medications, even if they manage to get their hands on your pill case.
Promising review: "I wanted something super secure, small, but still hold all my daily medications! This pill container is well made and again locks so securely! I have a 2-year-old that recently found where I stored my old pill container and fortunately did not eat any of my meds but it scared the life out of me literally. So I quickly went on Amazon and found this product and it shipped so fast and I immediately put it to use. Even though I still hide and try to keep them out of my very active 2-year-old's reach, I feel comfortable knowing that if she were to find them this time she would not get into them. I did test it before I put my pills in it and she tried so hard to get it open. She pulled, threw, bit, bent but it did not open! LOVE IT." —Nicol3_J
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in three sizes).
3. A pack of corner guards — a babyproofing solution sure to make sharp surfaces safe while still letting your style stay sharp.
Promising review: "These are honestly the best corner protectors we have tried! We've had a few others in our house and they are constantly falling off because they lost their sticky or our daughter pulls them off because they are huge and they catch her eye, and they are just not pretty to look at. But these are so small and clear, you don't even notice they are there (so our daughter doesn't even try to pull them off) they stick very well, and have already protected her little head from hitting a corner. I'm not sure how they will peel off, since we haven't tried yet, but so far so good!" —E3232
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in 12- and 18-pack).
4. Or a high density foam guard great for fireplaces and other sharp edges that are frustratingly close to your baby's face as they learn how to walk (like a drunk person) around the house.
The set includes 18 feet of edge guard and 8 corner cushions, capable of covering 20.4 feet of surface area. It also comes with 3M double-sided tape (36 feet of tape for the edge guard). The corner guards are pre-taped.
Promising review: "Great product that saved my son a trip to the ER! Funny story, when I installed these to cover my fire place brink corners I did so only to stop the nagging of my wife. BUT not 10 minutes after finishing the install did my son come up to the fire place and trip falling head first into the foam covered brick corner... THANK GOD I finally listened to my wife! Instead of a trip to the emergency room he just bounced off of the foam and went about his business unharmed!" —Chris Y.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes and three colors).
5. A solid wood tower stool sure to keep your little helper safe and secure when they want to get up close and personal when you're baking cookies.
Montessori House Bed is a small biz based in Latvia, owned by parents, who specialize in building Montessori furniture for children.
Promising review: "I love this item. It is exactly as pictured and I love the since of independence it gave my daughter. Now I can do even more activities with her. I also like that it comes with a safety bar and you can adjust it based on the height of your little one. But if you have a climber like me I still suggest you keep an eye on them while they are using the step stool. Highly recommend!" —Stephanie Elder
Get it from Montessori House Bed on Etsy for $140+ (available in four colors).
6. And a pair of sink extenders that'll make hand washing less of a chore to your child...and your back.
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 $11.49.
7. A classic baby gate (that can be installed *without* drilling holes in the wall!) for keeping off-limits areas of your home impossible to break into. Why do staircases seem so fun to babies?? Don't they know how much cardio it takes to get up those?!
This helpful gate has over 60,000 5-star reviews and fits openings between 29–34 and 35–38.5 inches wide.
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." —L. Randall
Get it from Amazon for $40.86+ (available in two sizes).
8. A water thermometer that's here to make sure the temperature is juuust right *and* to remind you and your kiddo that rubber duckies really DO make bathtime so much fun!
Promising review: "We use this when we bathe my son. I love being able to check water temperature because what my husband thinks is hot is different than what I think is hot. This solves that problem and our son is safe. The light is great because sometimes water splashes on the display and the numbers are harder to read. Even the beeping when too hot is great when you're filling up the tub and not looking at the temperature." —A. Hunsberger
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three styles).
9. A window lock so you can let a fresh breeze *into* the room without your child climbing *out* of it.
Promising review: "We have a third floor playroom and my kids kept opening up the windows all the way to let some fresh air in. Between them horsing around and a toddler who gets into/climbs on everything, I wanted to make sure the window didn't get opened too far so everyone stayed safe. These have done the trick! It's very easy for someone to override them to get the window open all the way if needed, but they are out of reach for my younger kids and helps EVERYONE know where to stop when opening them. With the blinds down you don't even notice them. I plan to get more for the kids' bedrooms." —toinfinityandbiond
Get four from Amazon for $9.95.
10. A set of hidden magnetic locks that install in seconds with tape to keep your pint-sized cat burglar from breaking into your secret candy stash.
The set comes with 12 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 a set from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in five pack sizes).
11. Or turning cabinet locks for anyone who is just as worried about losing the cabinet key as they are worried about their baby getting into the cabinets.
Promising review: "These work! I know a lot of us struggle finding good child protective locks/straps but these worked on my 3-year-old. Five minutes after installing he noticed them on the bathroom cabinet and they did not budge! I recommend before you peel and stick these to make note of measurements and clean the surface where you will install. They set up and install in less than 10 minutes! A++" —jennifer beaulieu mcgill
Get four from Amazon for $7.99.
12. A bannister guard sure to help you breathe easy if your baby's first steps are the first time you realize you've gotta cover up your bannisters.
Promising review: "I can't say enough great things about this product. After I ordered it they sent me an e-mail with an illustrated installation guide with tips, VERY HELPFUL. I LOVE that the zip-ties are adjustable! I had to readjust them several times to get it looking great (I'm a perfectionist) It was easy to install and a great comfort to have it set up knowing that my little one will be safe. We have a split level and this works great!" —Andrea Miller
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes and colors).
13. A set of three nylon kitchen knives — with these, your sous chef is able to chop 'til they drop (without hurting any of their adorable digits) if they insist on "helping" with dinner.
Promising review: "My 2-year-old was desperate to join me in the kitchen, and I wanted to be sure she was safe. These knives come in three sizes. They are not sharp to the touch but easily cut through most fruits and vegetables! For denser foods like carrots, she needed a bit of assistance, but she was quickly chopping all of the asparagus for dinner!!! We just got these, so I can't speak to durability, but for the price, these seem like a great value for my little chef!" —Nicholas and Zarya Fogelson
Get it from Amazon for $14.91.
14. A pool gate that'll go ~swimmingly~ if you want peace of mind that your little one is safe in case they ever sneak outside without a grownup.
Promising review: "This is LITERALLY a lifesaver when our grandchild is here. There's no way our 18-month-old grandchild can get through this sturdy netting, which is such a relief. We roll it to the side when we're not using it, so it's perfect! If we did not have this fence, our grandchild would go right to the pool every time. Now she plays and we have no worries that she will go into the pool." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $71.30+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
15. A pair of safety straps can keep your heavy furniture (or television sets) from being pulled down by your tiny mountain climber.
Promising review: "I was so happy that I bought these! They are super strong and secure and easy to install. I have a 1-year-old and 5-year-old who both run around and bump into everything, not to mention climbing on stuff, and these give me peace of mind as a father. Definitely a great value and much cheaper than a trip to the emergency room. A definite must for any parents wanting to baby proof their home. I will continue to buy these for any future televisions I may have because I don’t like to mount my televisions to the wall. These are perfect for anyone living in an apartment as well, that way you don’t damage the walls." —Jamie Arredondo
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
16. A bedside bassinet — a ~dreamy~ bedtime solution that'll keep your sweetheart safe and snug near you while you sleep.
Promising review: "This is a cute, trendy, functional bassinet! Overall, I think this is a great bassinet. I love that you can raise it up and down to the desired height. It also has a zip down side which is great for easy access and there is still a small side wall when it's down so the baby cannot fall out. It's very spacious, I have a 3-month-old who is the size of an 8-month-old and there is still plenty of room. It seems like my son also really likes his new bed, his head is always pressed up against the side closest to me. It also has legs that allow it to slide it under your mattress and anchors to anchor to your bed if you should choose. Overall, I love the trendy design and functionality!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $161.99+ (available in three colors).
17. A pack of nonslip bathtub stickers for preventing any ~slip-ups~ during bath time.
Promising review: "I bought these so my baby wouldn't slip around when sitting in the tub. They work great (without these he would slide very easily). I had to buy two packs to cover the entire tub. They have been sticking really well and it's been six months of daily use for three people (follow the instructions and take the extra time to clean the tub thoroughly and use alcohol to rub it down, then apply). My only complaint is that dirt does seep a little under the outer edges, so the tub looks a little messy even though I've scrubbed it clean." —kikanator
Get 12 from Amazon for $6.89 (available in four colors).
18. A darn good lookin' portable crib that'll give your child a safe and secure place to snooze and play when you've got a million other things to do.
Promising review: "This travel crib exceeded my expectations! Folded, its roughly the same size and shape as my Pack and Play, but a little lighter. Unfolded is when it shines, it is slightly narrower and longer than a pack and play, ideal for my long toddler as she grows. She has to lay diagonal in other mini cribs, but here, she can lay straight with room to spare. I also love the little zippable 'door' at floor level, it really helps if I want to give her the freedom of getting out on her own. Both my kids were especially delighted with this too, they loved to use it as a 'tent' and play in the open crib. It gave them a special place to feel was theirs in a tight guest room." —Jade Klinger
Get it from Amazon for $149.99.
19. A toilet safety seal — a solution for anyone who knows how ~crappy~ it is to wash a baby who just "washed" themselves with toilet water.
Promising review: "This is going on 16 months and still working. I don't have to worry about my water-loving baby playing in the toilet or flushing his toys down it (or worry he might drown himself in it, heaven forbid!). He is a pretty smart little dude (starting opening doors at 14 months), but he hasn't been able to figure out this lock. And he loves the toilet. I mean, loooves the toilet (who knew toilets could be so fascinating?) I literally can't keep him away. So I'd say this is a must-have for parents." —m
Get it from Amazon for $8.90.
20. A pack of five clear stove knob covers so you can keep your kiddo from cooking up mischief in the kitchen.
21. A refrigerator lock sure to be the ~key~ to keeping your toddler out of the fridge. Your unbroken carton of eggs definitely appreciates your efforts.
Promising review: "This is a very nice item. It works great for keeping small children out of the fridge and from leaving the door open." —Thomas F Spaniola
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
22. A lever handle lock that'll help you ~handle~ every door you'd rather your baby not get into. Keep that pantry to yourself as long as possible! Once they're older, the snack storage will totally belong to your kids.
Promising review: "This is the only baby safety product I have found that works well for the lever-style door handles. It's fairly easy to operate one-handed and is very easy to install." —Chris Scott
Get it from Amazon for $14.79+ (available in three pack sizes).
23. A set of five unbreakable flower vases with suction cup bottoms for parents with curious children who seem to do their darndest to see what things look like shattered and scattered on the floor.
24. A magnetic blind cord holder you can place nice and high to keep window cords out of reach when your kiddo starts standing and reaching for everything.
Promising review: "I have 30 blinds in my house and, with a toddler and three cats, this makes for a lot of nuisances and potential dangers. I have installed these cord packs throughout the house and, while it was an initial investment, I am so glad I did. They look great, they do not impede our ability to open or close the blind quickly, they are easy to remove if I move or no longer need them, and most importantly, they keep the cords out of reach of curious kids and cats. I had one issue with a couple magnets and contacted the manufacturer, and received a replacement pronto. The person I communicated with was nice too (not a given)! I wholly recommend this product." —CK
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
25. Or cordless window coverings that'll nix that concern altogether.
Promising review: "Great value shades. I bought these to have more safe blinds around my small kids, and get rid of my corded blinds. These are very good quality, and they're very easy to install and use. They are exactly the size described, and the material is a nice light filtering privacy shade. It lets diffused light in, but it's opaque, so definitely can't see through it. I plan to buy more of these." —Stephie M
Get it from Amazon for $23.71+ (available in seven sizes).
26. A pack of four self-closing outlets to make your baby-proofed place look way less baby-proofed, even though they're extra safe!
Promising review: "We have been behind the curve on babyproofing and bought a big pack of the plastic two-prong outlet covers. My kiddo is determined to stick anything and everything he can into outlets and wants so badly to peel the individual outlet covers off. I bought a four-pack of these covers and they are AMAZING! They're easy to install (just don't forget the little plastic spacer between the actual bare outlet and the back of the cover) and SO MUCH BETTER than the cheap plastic covers. For the outlets that were the kiddo's 'favorites' to try to bust into, these are SO GOOD. The amount of force needed to slide the plate over to use is more than a toddler can muster, but not hard for an adult. It's very easy to plug things in, and take them out, but the baby doesn't even mess with these outlets anymore because the thrill of death is beyond his tiny finger strength. Installing a few of these in high kid-traffic areas has been WELL worth it! Thanks for a great product." —Katie Ackerman
Get them from Amazon for $12.99.
27. Or an outlet box that'll let you keep things plugged in no matter how dedicated your child seems to be when it comes to tearing things out of the wall.
Promising review: "This is the best outlet protector I have tried, and I've tried several. From the simple socket plugs to outlet covers, my son could get access to the outlets at the age of 9 months. This one, however, securely covers the entire outlet and screws into the existing base. It is difficult for someone (even an adult) with small hands to open, requiring a good-sized spread of the hand to press on the latches on either side of the unit to lift the lid. The beauty of it, though, is that you can plug things into the outlet without the kids being able to get into it AND add or remove a device from the socket with ease. Definitely a good investment and should last for several years without being disturbed by curious and grubby little hands. It's a keeper." —AntKathy
Get it from Amazon for $12.79.
28. A four-pack of finger pinch guards you can attach on any part of your door, keeping them open at all times. No hurt fingers in your house!
Promising review: "While these are on the expensive side, they perform the job they were intended for: keeping tiny fingers from getting squished in fast closing doors in my classroom. They are very sturdy and well made. The quality of these large foam door stoppers is superior! My children's safety is important to their parents and to me, their very first teacher. I'm assured with this product that there will be no tiny fingers pinched on my watch. I would buy these again." —Dangerous Darcy
Get four of them from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in a six-pack).
29. Or a darling door cushion that'll prevent hurt fingers, slamming doors, or having kids accidentally locking themselves in a room. Plus they are cute! So cute!
Cushy Closer is a small biz based in Moorpark, California invented by two moms, with nine children between them, who were tired of putting a rag or sock in the door to avoid waking up their sleeping kids.
Promising review: "I have a cushion on every door in my house. Well just about. At least five of my doors have one of these. They are the best thing ever! If you have kids/babies/noisy doors — get these!! They are fantastic!! Will of course purchase again! Highly recommend." —Jenny
Get it from Cushy Closer on Etsy for $9.95.
30. And finally, a rubber ducky bath spout cover — this is gonna keep your kiddo from ~quacking~ their head open on the hard faucet if they're rather squirmy during bath time.
Now to figure out how to toddler-proof the grocery store:
