    27 Parenting Products Under $20 From Target That Have Impressive 5-Star Reviews

    We cover all the bases here: bathtime, teeth, hair, potty, scheduling, snacks, dinner time, and fun activities.

    1. A bath spout cover because it's simply adorable and practical. This soft, tough rubber protects baby during bath time; its easy-to-adjust strap secures and tightens on most spouts.

    2. A bottle of Honest bubble bath that is *honestly* the best part of our bedtime routine. It is made with all-natural ingredients and helps children wind down before bed. Plus it smells simply lovely.

    3. And an Honest detangler spray we also love and trust to de-tangle those really hard knots. The sweet almond scent is another soothing aroma perfect for winding down before bed.

    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 Disney Princess Wet Brush to make combing out those terrible tangles a little easier. We are a house full of luscious long hair and this is the only brush that works without causing tears!

    6. Love You Forever, a book that explains the importance and value of love. I know this holds a special place in my *heart* and my kids really enjoy it too. This book is great because it affirms that a parent's love is truly forever!

    7. A potty training chart because it's never easy to take on this task — but with this chart, which helps document all your kiddo's potty wins (like staying dry), you can get them excited about ditching the diaper.

    8. An awesome Melissa & Doug magnetic daily calendar that'll help parents instill independence through learning and fun. Plus it comes with different magnets to track the weather, special holidays, and feelings.

    11. A message board for leaving sweet words of encouragement for your kids throughout the day. This is also a great way to help them start their journey on learning to read, write, and spell! And you can use it to jot down chores or goals for the day/week.

    12. A two pack of dinosaur sippy cups to help wean your baby off the bottle. This is a grueling task and no kid is ready but with these sippy cups you will be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I promise!

    13. And for older munchkins, a two-pack of spill-proof cups that have been put to the test in our household. Trust me with this one, I sampled a plethora of cups and these made the cut because they truly don't leak.

    14. A durable 12-piece toddler dining set especially great for babies (6 months+) who are just starting solids. And the cups are perfect for kids 18 months and up because they have a wide base to help with stability and foster independence.

    15. A Pop It! sensory toy that is a hit among kids (and parents). It provides endless amounts of fun for those fidgety fingers. We have one of these in the back seat of the car because it is perfect entertainment for long drives.

    16. A Dot Marker activity kit that we use whenever we have *big feelings.* These markers are mess-free and a healthy outlet to just let out all those emotions.

    17. A pack of breast milk storage bags for keeping your milk fresh for weeks on end. These bags are super strong and have double-sealed sides. They are also BPA-free and pre-sterilized. YAY for effective baby products!

    18. A bath storage basket that will change your life. Ditch those suction cup bath storage bags — this is the way to go. Plus, it also has draining capabilities so you can avoid mildew buildup.

    20. A grab-and-go formula and snack container to take your snack game to the next level when you're out and about with your little one. This set includes one 10-oz. container, two 6-oz. containers, one easy-pour formula lid, two spill-resistant lids, and one dry food lid with a handle.

    21. A baby car mirror so you can check if your little ones are picking their nose...I mean safe and sleeping?! We got this when we brought our little one from the hospital and it totally brought peace of mind. I couldn't recommend this more for new and expectant parents (but please keep your eyes on the road).

    22. A pack of Boogie Wipes that are a serious game changer for stuffy noses. These wipes are made with natural saline, which is gentle on the skin, helps clean and dissolve snot and boogers, and wipes away dirt and germs. They’re gentle enough to be used on noses, faces, fingers, and toes. Trust me, I even started using these on myself!

    23. And a baby nasal aspirator and saline spray to save parents' sleep when baby is sick and filled with snot! Don't worry, the simple design and instructions make it easy to use and clean. This is my ultimate new parent recommendation — you definitely needs this ingenious device!

    25. A seat buckle release tool your nails or arthritic hands will thank you for. Parents also love how it helps bring autonomy so the kids can unbuckle themselves when they get older (with your permission, of course!).
