1. A mom-made bug bite suction tool from Shark Tank for mosquito bite relief if your little one is excited for tank tops and shorts but not the fact that they'll be exposed to some nasty bloodsuckers. It pretty much sucks the irritant out from under their skin so they can live an itch-free life.
Promising reviews: "This is a must-have while camping with two younger kids that are constantly getting bit by mosquitoes. Works really well to stop the itch immediately." —JS
"I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived Monday and Tuesday morning I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) and immediately after use, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bite gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in four colors).
2. A pair of teething-friendly silicone food pouch tops to help prevent spills and promote self-feeding (since you don't have to worry about messes, you can let them hang onto the pouch themselves). These tops even securely lock and cover the spout in case your little one doesn't finish their snack in one sitting.
ChooMe is a small business making it easier for your little one to eat their favorite foods.
Promising review: "These are a game changer. I don’t trust my baby to eat a food pouch without one of these on top. Without these caps, she slings food everywhere and ends up a mess. She loves these because they give her the independence of getting to hold and feed herself a pouch without my assistance." —El Kling
Get the pack of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five color combinations).
3. A pack of oversized sidewalk chalk they'll have so much fun drawing and writing colorful messages with! They're pretty unbreakable and roll-proof because of how chunky they are.
Urban Infant is a Chicago-based small business run by a brother/sister duo making unique and useful parenting products.
Promising review: "Our 1-year-old loves these. It was his first time using chalk and he had no trouble with them. They are pretty thick; doesn't matter how he holds them, there will be contact with the surface and there will be color!" —JW
Get it from Urban Infant on Amazon for $11.95 (also available in glitter chalk).
4. An adjustable portable harness seat that's super easy to travel with. Turn just about any chair into a highchair, whether you're at a restaurant or visiting family. It has anti-slip pads to prevent it from sliding, as well as padded cushioning for baby's comfort.
Promising review: "My 7-month-old loved this seat. We used it for traveling to use for daily feedings at the table and for trips to the restaurant. The baby loved sitting at the table instead of their stroller and was comfortable and secure to the seat. Would definitely recommend." —Kristen
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
5. A pack of 10 reusable puree pouches if you like to make your own seasonal baby food. The sides of these pouches open like Ziploc bags for easy filling.
BuzzFeed writer Heather Braga on these pouches:
"My son is going through a phase where he's refusing to eat anything that *isn't* in a pouch. One of my mom friends suggested trying these out, so I promptly added these to my cart. They arrived swiftly and have been a great solution to our dining problem! They're easy to fill, as the side opens like a Ziploc bag, and even easier to rinse and reuse. We've been using them regularly and are thrilled with them. You can also fill and freeze them if you want to meal-prep your kiddo's food for the week."
Promising review: "These reusable pouches are great. They are easy to fill and use. They have been uncomplicated to wash and I have been very glad I purchased." —Kelly
Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $10.99.
6. A Graco all-terrain jogging stroller, because you love running and don't wanna have to leave baby behind. It even folds so easily and quickly, you can do it with one hand!
This stroller comes with an infant car seat.
Promising review: "I'm an eco-tour guide and nature lover, so I'm most of the time on trails, dirt roads, and grass. This stroller is the best for those active families who like to go off-road or run with your little ones." —Daniel Carbone
Get it from Amazon for $329.97.
7. A wind-proof kids bubble umbrella for spring's famous rain showers. Its clear canopy construction means your little one will still be able to see where they're going.
8. A pair of polarized WeeFarers sunglasses to protect baby's eyes from the sun. Plus, they'll be the coolest kid on the playground sporting these.
"I 'splurged' on these for my little one and have zero regrets! He, shockingly, doesn't mind wearing them at all, and he looks so freakin' cute in them, I can't help but take a million photos anytime he has them on. I love that you can register them and if something happens to them within your first year of owning them, you'll be able to get a replacement. I even bought them as a gift for my friend's baby's first Christmas — I love them that much." —Heather Braga, BuzzFeed editor
Promising review: "We love these! I can’t even believe my 3-month-old doesn’t try to pull them off, but apparently he finds them comfortable enough to just leave them. We get so many compliments when he has them on and people love the play on the classic Ray-Ban Wayfarers and the 'WeeFarer' name. Best of all, I can rest assured that his little eyes are protected. The little strap is great to keep them in place. We will definitely be buying the next size up when he grows out of these." —Sara
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in 4 sizes and 13 styles).
9. An Oogiebear nose and ear cleaner whose safe rubber scoop and loops will get any gunk out of your baby's nose (and ears) without causing any discomfort. This will surely come in handy this allergy season!
Promising review: "Must-have! This thing is amazing. It works very well for us. Good length and it's soft/firm. I was able to gently scoop my 4-month-old's earwax and pick out her sticky, crusty boogers. She enjoys being clean so she sat/laid down very still for us. I would definitely buy this for a baby shower gift and definitely recommend to anyone." —P. T.
Get it from Amazon for $12.95.
10. A grape cutter if grapes are your tot's fave snack but it takes you forever to cut them up by hand. This will quickly slice grapes into quarters so they're less of a hazard for your snacking tot. It's also safe enough for your tot to use (with your supervision, of course).
Promising reviews: "LOVE it. It took three minutes to cut grapes that would have taken me at least 10. As a mom of a toddler, those minutes are precious. It was also fun and easy to use." —Jacqueline
"I wish I would’ve had this a LONG time ago. This little gadget has come in so handy. If you have a toddler or small child, you NEED this. It quarters grapes, cherry tomatoes, olives, etc. so they aren’t choking hazards for little ones. So much faster than slicing every tiny grape up yourself. 10/10 would recommend." —Sara Waits
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
11. Organic vapor drops, because the eucalyptus and lavender essential oils may help open their nasal passages and potentially help them sleep better if they're congested.
Add this to baby's bath or to the FridaBaby 3-in-1 humidifier/diffuser/nightlight.
Promising reviews: "Bought this because my pediatrician recommended it and it helps tremendously with my baby congestion due to allergies in the air." —Charles &.
“I got this for my two young daughters who were sick. I added this to their baths and it worked wonders! Reduced their cough and chest congestion. They slept so much better after using it.” —Shyanna K.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
12. And a rechargeable nasal aspirator with different levels of suction for getting snot out of baby's nose so they can breathe better if they're congested. They hate the huffing and puffing as much as you do!
This aspirator even has a light to help calm them down if they need a distraction from the process.
Promising review: “This product is awesome. I had a bunch of the manual snot suckers and the hard tip would irritate my daughter. Also my lungs would get a good workout. I was skeptical about the suction on this device but it delivers every time. We really enjoy the soft tips for baby's nose. The light is a great distraction and she actually guides this into her nose when we have to deal with her boogies.” —Kubitt
Get it from Amazon for $44.98.
13. A leak-proof sippy cup whose easy-to-grip handles and weighted straw will make this baby's favorite bottle, so it'll be less of a chore to make sure they're drinking enough water.
"I received one of these cups as a sample, and it's been fantastic! My son previously had a regular sippy cup (without a straw) and had no interest in even trying to drink out of it on his own. Since he's so familiar with eating out of pouches (plz don't judge), he was so excited that he knew how to use the straw on this cup immediately. I love that it has a lid that flips right over the straw, so I can throw it in my bag without fear of it spilling everywhere. I gotta order it in another color to add an extra option to the rotation!" —Heather Braga, BuzFeed editor
Promising review: "We love these cups. I did so much research and read so many reviews before landing on these. We’ve used them for our twins since they were 8 months old and they're still going strong eight months later! Everyone we’ve recommended these to loves them. The cute colors are an added bonus!" —Andie
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in 15 colors).
14. And a JellyCap to turn just about any bottle into a sippy cup so you can keep your tyke hydrated while you're on the go. This will come in handy if they already emptied their own bottle and are eyeing your full 16 ounces of Poland Spring.
Check out a TikTok of the cap in action.
JellyCap is a family-owned small business!
Promising review: "Hands down one of my best Amazon purchases for my girl! I love finding hidden gems like this to make parenting a little easier lol. We go camping a lot and these are life savers and save me so much time washing and re-washing sippy cups! Plus my daughter can now be trusted with her beloved Danimal yogurt! A win for mom and a win for my very satisfied and not yogurt covered 1.5-year-old! Great idea!!" —Ab223
Get a three pack from JellyCap on Amazon for $14.99 (available in two color options).
15. A pack of insect-repellent wipes that'll work for up to 12 hours! These DEET-free wipes are easy to travel with and safe to use on kids, too.
BuzzFeed editor Elizabeth Lilly is a fan of these wipes:
"When I was a kid, someone told me that mosquitoes love me because I'm so sweet. And I FULLY believe that as an adult because I still get eaten alive if I'm out for long periods of time without wearing some kind of repellent. I've used these wipes on several park days here in NYC (sitting on a picnic blanket drinking wine with friends is more or less screaming COME GET ME to skeeters). But I've really found success with them on a recent hot weekend trip to Savannah, Georgia. I don't notice any smell when using them and have found one wipe to have enough repellant for my arms and legs. So basically, a one and done. I don't think that I've gotten *any* bug bites on days I've used these wipes. Plus, I have extremely sensitive skin but haven't had any irritation from these seemingly powerful wipes!"
Get three packs of 12 wipes from Amazon for $25.47.
16. A pacifier-style baby medicine dispenser since baby doesn't wanna be sick this allergy season and whenever you use a spoon, medicine just ends up spilling everywhere. This syringe helps with spit-up too since it helps the (nasty) medicine bypass their tastebuds. Double win for baby!
Promising review: "This is an absolute must-have, and you should order it before you’re desperately wrestling medicine into your baby’s mouth and wishing you did. My daughter wouldn’t even take a pacifier and this still made giving her medicine 100x easier. The different components detach easily for cleaning, and the syringe is a standard size so it’s compatible with most bottles. If/when your kid outsmarts or outgrows the pacifier part of it, the syringe is still functional and nice to have on hand." —JH
Get it from Amazon for $12.84.
17. A car baby monitor because knowing exactly what baby is up to in the back seat will help you keep your mind at ease as you drive from Point A to Point B on your spring vacation. It's also equipped with nighttime vision, so you don't have to worry about losing sight as the day loses light.
Promising review: "This camera is a new mommy must-have. I was using a mirror and constantly was readjusting it and relying on my mirror to see his mirror and it was stressful. I knew there had to be something better when I ended up driving at night with my 2-month-old to the hospital and he was freaking out and I couldn’t see him so I was pulling over to check on him every few minutes and it was a nightmare. This camera has been my saving grace. I was hesitant at first reading reviews saying it’s not night vision but mine automatically switches even in parking garages to night vision. I love that I can see my baby and not have to fix a mirror. Or turn my head to see fully what’s going on with him in the back. I really really recommend this for peace of mind!! —Jennifer K
Get it from Amazon for $29.98.
18. A traveling scavenger hunt card game perfect for having fun on the go! Keep your kids entertained by having them find any of 54 objects that can be spotted from the car.
Promising review: "I bought this for our road trip desperate for something to keep our kids entertained. This was super fun! My husband, I, and our 5-year-old had fun playing it together. My 3-year-old was trying but is a little bit too young for it. The pictures are fun and engaging. I honestly had a great time and would recommend this to other parents looking for something to keep their kids busy!" —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $9.92.
19. A butterfly growing kit to teach them about the life cycle of a caterpillar with this ~transformative~ butterfly habitat.
Insect Lore is a parent-owned small biz wanting to share the magic of nature and science with you and your family.
Promising review: "We loved this thing. All the Caterpillars turned into beautiful butterflies. I felt like a kid again and my daughter loved it and wanted to do it again." —Raquel Solis
Get it from Insect Lore on Amazon for $19.76.
20. A flexible faucet extender so you don't have to lift your little munchkin every time they need to wash their hands after playing in the dirt. And it'll make them feel like a lil' grown up!
Promising review: “Before I knew a thing like this existed, I spent the time it took to wash my squirming kiddo's hands one at a time wondering how long it was going to take for his arms to grow enough to reach the faucet. I'm so glad I have this thing now! The setup is just taking it out of the box and stretching the rubber part around the faucet; it took two seconds plus some time to adjust to the best angle. Now I can wash my 15-month-old's hands at the same time and the whole process is much faster and easier. He liked it right away too!” —Michelle G
Get two from Amazon for $11.49.
21. A set of massive bubble wands that'll keep your kids entertained all spring long!
The set also comes with instructions on how to make the BIGGEST bubbles possible! It's great for kids of all ages.
Promising review: "The wand is awesome, but even MORE awesome is that I just used regular bubble solution (way cheaper, found anywhere) and it worked just as well. Maybe better. Some people in reviews have said that you must use the packets that come with the wand, but I gave it a shot anyway with regular bubbles and it worked just fine with no noticeable difference." —Lauri
Get it from Amazon for $15.95.
22. A machine washable shopping cart cover if you need to take baby with you while you run errands at Target and the grocery store but don't want them touching (and potentially even licking) any part of a dirty cart.
Promising review: "A must-have item. No joke. This thing is a game changer. We used to just carry our daughter in the store because the cart seats are so dirty and uncomfortable. But this thing has made shopping so much easier. It takes like less than a minute to put it on the cart, and it's sturdy and comfy and my daughter loves it. I also like the pockets, toy loops, and clear phone pocket. And they fit any cart — Walmart and Costco carts both fit great." —Amber Brown
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in nine prints).
23. A pack of 24 potty seat covers — now your little one can do their ~business~ in public restrooms without the fear of germs. These covers are also long enough that your kid's legs won't touch the toilet either.
Promising review: “We recently went on a day trip to Sea World, and these toilet seat covers were a lifesaver. We used these with the Gimars foldable potty seat, and the combo made potty time much easier. These covers have two small strips of adhesive that ensure the cover doesn't slide off the toilet seat, and they are actually pretty strong strips. The cover didn't move once adhered to the toilet seat. The cover has a plastic film on the bottom side, which ensures that 'liquids' on the toilet seat don't soak through. I love how my foldable potty seat never had to touch the nasty toilet seat. It also was long enough to drape over the front and sides of the toilet. My toddler has a habit of grabbing the sides of the toilet for stability, and the extra protection from these covers was nice. Plus, since the cover drapes over the front of the toilet, my daughter's pull-up and shorts don't touch the front of the toilet. Overall, great product! These are much thicker than those cheap tissue paper toilet seat covers. Will repurchase.” —Taryn
Get the pack of 24 from Amazon for $9.99.
24. Or a portable potty seat you can take on the go so they don't have to hold their pee while you're all out and about this spring. This seat has suction cups that'll help make sure they don't slide off.
Promising review: "I have been having a hard time potty training because if you're in public, the restrooms are dirty and you don’t want your little one to touch the bathroom at all. With this potty seat, you place it on the toilet and it suction cups for a secure seat. You place your little on and have them hold you and perfection. My little loves to use it and I love that I don’t have to hold her over the toilet or have her touch anything. It is also small enough to carry in your diaper bag." —Jessica A Elliott
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors).
25. A sling diaper bag that's as cute as it is functional! It's got space for lots of your tyke's essentials as well as your own, so you'll be set the next time you need to change their diaper in the pharmacy bathroom.
"I have this bag in the Disney Princess print and gifted the Beauty and the Beast one to my best friend — we both love them! It's the perfect size to hold a bottle, some diapers, wipes, and a burp cloth (just the essentials), which is great when I'm taking my baby along for a short outing. I typically put my own things (wallet, keys, mints) in the zippered front pocket, so I only need to take one bag out of the house! I also, as a big Disney fan, love the design. I've gotten tons of compliments from other parents which is always an added bonus!" —Heather Braga, BuzzFeed editor
Get it from Amazon for $41.30+ (available in five styles).
26. A portable sound machine if your baby is often in need of soothing sounds when you're away from home on vacation or driving in the car. Easily attach it to your stroller, car seat, or diaper bag and play one of its four relaxing sounds to usher your little one to sleep.
27. A pack of doorknob covers to stop your little Houdini from disappearing out the front door because it's nice out and they wanna go to the park.
Jool Baby is a kid-focused, family-run small business whose products feature the latest in technology and durability.
Promising review: "These are great! My very smart and tactile toddler cannot get them open, but I don’t have to struggle with them. I just grab the door through the holes, no worrying about the cover slipping and fumbling with the knob. I like the look of them too; they are sleek and unobtrusive. Great design!" —Christine B.
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $9.99.
28. A tube of Boudreaux's diaper rash cream because no one likes an irritated booty, least of all your little one. This cream is made with 40% zinc oxide and will last through the night to make sure their butt stays dry, especially as temperatures rise and sweat becomes an issue.
Promising review: "The BEST BY FAR! Must-have!!!! This is by far my favorite diaper cream! It works instantly for any almost any rash! My son has super sensitive skin and I can put it on before bed and by morning any rash he has ever had is gone or almost gone! Amazing stuff!!! I give it to all my first-time mom friends! I HIGHLY recommend, I have tried it all!!!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $4.94.
29. A Little Tikes picnic table with an umbrella so your little one can enjoy their snacks outside and still be protected from the sun's rays.
Promising review: "I purchased this picnic table as a Christmas gift for my 18-month-old grandson. I purchased Little Tikes because of its known quality and long history of durability. This table is large enough for a child to be able to use for several years, yet small enough to use inside in the winter and be moved outside in the summer. It is the perfect height for little ones to sit and work on the fine motor activities they are just beginning to do, and also a great place to have lunch or a snack. The height gives a much safer area than trying to balance a little one in an adult chair at an adult size table or breakfast bar." —K. Bogus
Get it from Amazon for $62.99.
30. A cute playhouse if you have the yard space for this rather inexpensive home addition for your little ones (and their neighborhood friends) to play in.
Promising review: "I really liked that I was able to put this together within 30 minutes by myself. Everything was pre-drilled and the directions were extremely easy to follow. We have had some storms recently that have taken the cottage flying through the wind and landing upside down and it hasn’t broken anywhere! It’s very light to where I can pick it up and toss it if I needed to and big enough for my kids and their friends to play in. Overall a great buy!" —melinda
Get it from Amazon for $127.77.
31. A wooden swing set that'll turn your backyard into a playground with these fun and sturdy swings! You'll be able to keep a closer eye on your kid(s) and they won't have to venture too far for snack and bathroom breaks. Win-win!
The swing set has pinch-free coating on the chains, so no need to fret about those tiny fingers getting caught.
Promising review: "This swing set is a good value for the money. The instructions were clear and assembly was easy. The lumber was sanded and finished. The metal pieces were well coated and the hardware is stainless. The chains are rubber sleeved and the seats/bars are well made. This is not a heavy piece of playground equipment, but it is, I think, good for my kids. Anchoring it securely is an important part of the installation and since we have it down right, I don't see it moving around very much at all. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and it surprises me how much my kids, who get way too much screen time, go out into the yard to use this." —tmkreutzer
Get it from Amazon for $237.09+ (available in two styles).
32. A waterproof saucer swing your kids will beg to go outside this spring to play with/lounge on! It hangs in minutes and is super durable. And if you have a swing set, you can even add this to it.
Promising review: "My 7- and 4-year-old granddaughters love this swing! They don’t have to wait turns because both can sit or lay on the saucer at the same time! I used my swing hooks to attach the saucer swing. It worked perfectly. I just had to adjust the rope height so it was higher off the ground." —M K.
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes).
33. A balance bike so they can feel the wind in their hair as they ride around your backyard (or inside if it's a rainy spring day)! Because this bike has no pedals, it is a great way for kids to test and improve their mobility and active motor skills in a safer way.
Promising review: "It’s the cutest little bike. Comes with the tool needed to assemble. Super easy to assemble. Took my husband five minutes. We got it for our grandbaby's first birthday. She can’t reach the ground yet nor is walking but we just push her around and are excited that she’ll grow into it. Her first bike." —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in nine colors).
34. A 100% cotton canvas portable play mat since you've got your own playdate set up at a friend's place this spring and need to make sure your little one will be just as entertained as you. Plus, it converts into a toy bag so you can keep all your kid's playthings organized.
Promising review: "LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. This mat is a great buy and a must-have for new parents. We were going over to my in-laws almost every weekend for a while and I wanted something I could put down on the floor and fold all of our babe’s toys up in. This play mat bag seemed almost to good to be true. The material is sturdy and great. It’s breathable too so it works wonders for tummy time. The fabric is durable, but comfortable for our baby. The design is adorable too, I have received so many compliments. I just hang this on the door handle of her closet and we grab it and go anytime we are going to be somewhere for a day. I imagine it will be great for traveling too. Now I don’t have to stuff a small lightweight blanket in the baby bag for floor play, this mat bag does it all!! We love it. It would also be a great gift for new moms." —MRS
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three styles).
35. A kid's gardening tools set if they've been wanting to help you grow your vegetable patch but never had age-appropriate tools to use. Now they can plant their own seeds and watch them grow!
