    27 Parenting Products From Target You'll Probably Wish You'd Known About Sooner

    Here are a plethora of parenting tools you will definitely want in your toolbox.

    1. A teething mitt my child looooooved, and got us thru some tough teething! This gadget is great because it not only has a silicone top they can safely gnaw about on, but it also stays on their hand and prevents them from throwing it on the ground.

    2. A shopping cart cover that gave me so much peace of mind when grocery shopping. This ingenious product fits most shopping carts and restaurant-style high chairs — AND it folds up into a small pouch so you can throw it into or attach it to your diaper bag/purse.

    3. A grab-and-go booster seat for solving all your carpooling and Ubering problems around town. My friend turned me onto this product when he was helping with carpools. The best part? It fits perfectly in your purse or backpack!

    4. A Baby Yoda night-light that is way too cute. This battery-powered light is perfect for kids who don't like the dark. It also has an auto-shutoff mode so you don't have to continuously replace the batteries!

    5. A Babybjörn potty chair to help your little one get ready to transition out of diapers and onto the toilet. This potty can travel anywhere and is super easy to clean.

    6. And a Babybjörn bouncer, I don't know how I would have lived without. The natural rocking stimulates your child’s development and helps them stop crying (I swear). It's easy to wash, has an ergonomic design, folds flat to store easily, and is just plain wonderful.

    7. A back-of-the-seat organizer for corralling your little one's toys, tablet, and other bric-a-brac so road trips are free of clutter.

    8. An all-natural stain remover to help get out those tough stains and is 97% plant-based. We love using this spray at our house because, believe me, there is always a stain to be removed!

    9. A postpartum recovery essentials kit because no one tells you all the things you go through AFTER the baby comes — this includes everything you need to make your recovery easier. Here is a product I wish I knew about three years ago.

    10. A grow-with-me training toothbrush set that is as highly practical as it is useful! This set includes two training toothbrushes for different stages to start oral care habits at 6 months and up.

    11. A Fridababy nailcare set so you can safely give baby a mani-pedi without going to the salon! The kit includes one clipper and one S-shaped nail file. They totally *nailed* it with this product!

    12. A Sleepsack to help baby fall asleep easily and with style. This original wearable blanket with sleeveless design nestles baby like a soft blanket without the risk of sleep-related dangers.

    13. A leakproof bento box guaranteed to get your little ones excited about eating lunch. I even try to sneak in some healthy snacks and it (almost) always comes back empty!

    14. A vinyl splat mat perfect to put under baby's high chair or use when facilitating sensory activities. This mat is easy to clean, durable, and nontoxic.

    15. A set of five packing cubes to keep the fam's suitcases from turning into a jumbled mess. These cubes kept appearing on my Instagram feed and I was finally influenced to get them. But let me tell you they are worth the investment. Throw these in the above suitcase and you are good to go.

    16. A butt paste that's not messing around. We love this option for diaper rashes! The best part? It is made with plant-based ingredients and infused with natural aloe vera.

    17. A set of four dinosaur silicone ice pop molds for your dino-obsessed kiddo. My 2-year-old is all about dinosaurs right now and these are perfect for helping me get hidden greens into his diet via frozen smoothies!

    18. A Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes that you will always want to take along on every journey you go on. I can't explain why this toy is a hit with babies, but that's OK because it just works!

    19. A grab-and-go stroller organizer to keep your water bottle, keys, and sunnies all in one place. I have noticed some strollers don't come with organizers and this is a wonderful solution at an affordable price point.

    20. And a travel wipe dispenser because it's a great solution for quick and easy on-the-go diaper changes. It also includes a strap that lets you conveniently hang it on strollers and diaper bags!

    21. A pack of 12 stain remover wipes, a total lifesaver when you're out and about! I always have these in my diaper bag, purse, and car because you never know when they are going to spill something. With these, you can start to wear white again!

    22. A Sit Me Up floor seat to help get baby up and sitting in no time! We started using one of these when our son was around four months old and saw great improvement in his strength. Plus, it folds down easily to store away.

    23. And a hook-on chair so baby can sit at the table with the family, making it especially handy on trips! Its simple design also makes it easy to take apart and clean.

    24. A 2-in-1 stroller wagon that offers the roomy comforts of a stroller and wagon wrapped up in one product. I see these everywhere today and wonder how I missed the train with this innovative solution.

    25. A wonderful pedicure set if your 8-year-old is like mine and can't stop talking about nail polish and makeup. This set is perfect because it's the cost of one nail appointment but now we have all the tools at home to do it over and over again for free!

    26. An essential oil diffuser for those kiddos who have trouble falling asleep. We use this every day with lavender essential oil — it always does the trick!

    27. And for any parent, a bag of Dr. Teal's lavender Epsom salt great for soaking your bones after a long day of chasing your rugrats around town.
