Promising review: "I bought these for our new granddaughter. They are very well made. They go on the wrist or ankle and attach with Velcro. Babies can use them as a noisemaker or teether, as the piece around the animal head is gummy. Babies love to kick their legs when lying on their backs and these add a nice rattle sound." —homelife
Price: $6.99 for two rattles
Promising review: "I bought these because my baby was starting to bite the rails of the crib and the paint was starting to chip off into his mouth. These have been a lifesaver! They are easy to put on and take off. I throw them in the wash every once in a while and they fit back on perfectly. My baby can sometimes untie the knots, but for the most part he doesn't. My baby chews on these and they do get pretty wet sometimes, but the crib stays in perfect condition." —TarJ
Price: $13.59 for the long rail cover (covers for the sides sold separately)
This amazing potty seat comes with a travel bag and can be quickly and easily wiped clean with an antibacterial wipe. It suctions onto the toilet, keeping your kid both physically and mentally secure.
Promising review: "This product has been a game changer for getting my toddler to use the potty in public. He is smaller, so normal potties are intimidating to him. I highly recommend this seat for any little kids!!! So easy to attach and fold up. Each to clean after too. Such a brilliant product." —Kate
Price: $14.99 (also available in pink)
I have this stool and love it. When my oldest started standing independently, I got a decorative, oh-so-cute wooden one. I definitely underestimated just how clumsy toddlers are and just how often they fall. She'd trip over her own feet in the bathroom and get a huge bruise or would scrape herself on my adorable footstool. Finally I said "NEVER AGAIN" and bought this one. What was I waiting for?? This one is higher, lighter, and easier to clean and I do not miss the princess ballerina footstool one bit. Plus my kids easily grab it when they need to reach something and I only need to involve myself if I hear a crash. Glorious.
Promising review: "My 3 year-old uses this stepping stool constantly. It’s great for when he wants to wash hands, get something from the fridge, turn on/off light switch or use the toilet. It’s very handy." —Love FP
Price: $15
Promising review: "I use these brushes for my daughter and for myself. I will never buy a traditional style brush again because they are painful to use while these are not painful to use at all." —Katchat2013
Price: $9.99 (available in three colors)
With a zip closure, they make nighttime diaper changes a breeze! They also come in fleece for winter months and as a transitional swaddle for newborns! I've used all three and recommend all of them.
Promising review: "I’ve bought this in every size for my daughter since about 6 -months-old. Still using the XL size for my 2-year-old. Lightweight sleep sack that gets softer with each wash. I would recommend this product." —Roth
Price: $29.99 (available in size newborn–XL and 10 designs)
So many people swear by humidifiers, but I had never used one prior to having a baby. If you're a skeptic like I was, I can verify that getting a humidifier has been so helpful, especially now that my kids are a bit older. Whenever I see the first sign of a sniffle, I pull the humidifier out and have seen a dramatic improvement, versus just gritting my teeth and holding on until it passed.
Promising review: "This humidifier has been a blessing! Our other one got wet so we ordered this. I was skeptical because of the size, but it actually works great!! I love the different selections you get for what type of speed you want for your humidity and light." —Jay
Price: $39.99 (available in two colors)
Promising review: "My 9-month-old came down with a cold from her older brother. Her little nose was very irritated, and she would cry when I would clean her little nose because I was using regular wipes. I love the fact that these are so gentle and that they contain saline. I noticed a big difference when I would use them compared to the regular wipes I was using which really irritated and chafed her little nose. The price is also great for a pack of 30 wipes! They are very moist as well. I would definitely recommend to all the mommies with sick babies, toddlers, and kids. 👍🏼 🙂" —Ann86
Price: $4.49 for a 30-pack (also available scented and in a multi-pack)
Promising review: "This thing saves me SO. MUCH. TIME. I've already had at least five parents tell me when I've brought it to various social functions that they wish they'd had one of these when their kids were young. If you're on the fence, do yourself a favor and buy it right now!" —Katie

For the longest time I was using a dustpan and broom to get my kid's crumbs after meals. It wasn't that big of a deal, but it was annoying. I finally decided to treat myself to a handheld vacuum and I literally do not regret anything but waiting so long to get one. It's one of those really small things that really did make one part of parenting so much less work. Now that my baby is a big kid, she happily vacuums up after meals that are somehow still messy years later.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this little vacuum! It’s so easy to use — my 2-year-old who likes to help can even use this vacuum. It’s powerful and the attachments are easy to exchange. It is bagless and easy to empty, you can charge it easily from any outlet. I have a long-haired cat that sheds a lot and this vacuum works well for pet hair." —Stru

The formula comes out clump-free, can be made up to 24 hours in advance, and has no bubbles which can lead to gas.
Promising review: "I love this pitcher, it is the perfect size. Easy to use so you can store formula for the whole day and it gets rid of air bubbles in the milk. If you have a baby registry make sure to add this gift." —Rhonda
Price: $10.99 (available in two colors)
These wipes are alcohol and chemical-free and made of food-grade materials.
Promising review: "These wipes are a must-have! I purchased these to use on pacifiers, but they are also perfect for wiping down toys and other dropped items when out and about. They are very gentle, have no smell or leftover taste like other wipes, and have no harsh chemicals. I love them so much I use them not only in my diaper bag, but around the house for a quick clean for both pacifiers and toys. Would 100% recommend!" —Mommamaca
Price: $3.99 for a pack of 36
