1. A Tushbaby hip carrier to help give your lower back a bit of a break. Get the support you need when your kiddo refuses to leave your side or have their feet touch the ground. This lightweight carrier also functions as a diaper bag! Is that the sound of a win-win I hear? Why, yes, it is.
This is recommended for children between 8–45 pounds and can be used in four holding positions: feeding/breastfeeding, side carrying, front facing, and face-to-face.
Tushbaby is a small business run by three California mamas and specializes in products that bring a little more ease to everyday parenting life.
Promising review: "A MUST-HAVE!!!!!!!!!!! This is the absolute best purchase I have EVER made. So worth the money. Do not cheap out and get an off-brand. This is the one. I carried my 33-pound 16-month-old on my hip for three hours in total while vacationing through a state park. Four miles later, up stairs (were talking 200+ stairs) and dirt terrain I have no back or hip pain. And my son stayed on my hip, comfortable without any fuss. Even my husband who is 6’3” wore it and noticed the ease of putting it on and carrying our chunky monkey. Seriously, if you want to invest in something that will save your back, GET IT!" —Mom 2 Two
Get it from Tushbaby on Amazon for $84.99 (available in three colors).
2. A sleek and easy-to-use touchless thermometer so you can check your baby's temperature even when they're sleeping. Staying on top of their health just got a little easier.
Promising review: "This is a great thermometer — accurate, looks great, a must-have! If you have kids, forget about sticking a thermometer in their ears. I have four kids now and a thermometer is a must-have. Hold this thing close to the forehead, push the button, and you get a reading in about one second. This thing looks good, feels good, and is accurate. We’ve used a variety of thermometers in the past. The head scanner that you run across the forehead...no good. In-ear thermometers...accurate, but expect a battle. Rectal thermometers...very accurate, but expect a war. This is the easiest one out of all of them. We find it especially useful when we need the quick 'I don’t feel that great' check. Overall, highly recommend!"—BearDownChi1
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two colors).
3. A USDA-certified organic baby healing balm for help soothing itchy, irritated skin caused by rashes or cradle cap. Formulated with chamomile, hydrating beeswax, and calming sunflower oil, this balm is designed to moisturize sensitive skin.
Era Organics is a small business!
Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff. I use it for my ds rashes. I was so afraid to use anything but coconut oil but I needed something that would soothe the rash as well. My ds also ended up getting eczema and hives from a laundry detergent we had switched to. This completely soothed it away. It was gone by the next day. Needless to say, this is my go-to soothing-everything solution. It stays in the diaper bag and medicine cabinet. A must-have!" —Andrea
Get it from Era Organics on Amazon for $14.75+ (available in two sizes).
4. A butt paste spatula if you're tired of using your bare fingers to spread diaper rash ointment on your baby's behind and then getting some stuck under your fingernails. This gentle silicone spatula will easily spread ointment and ensure you don't waste any product.
Promising review: "If I could give this little tool 10 out of 5 stars I would!!! It makes the whole process of applying diaper rash ointment SOOOOO much easier. And this thing cuts down on how much diaper rash ointment is wasted because your fingers are not getting covered in ointment. I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone with a baby!!!" —Hazel-91
Get it from Amazon for $6.79+ (available in four colors).
5. A set of 58 large flashcards to help teach colors, shapes, letters, numbers, and animals all in one fell swoop! No need to get different sets to teach your growing kid different things when you can have them all in one!
Promising review: “My 2-year-old mastered her numbers, alphabet, colors, shapes, and animals with these cards. When I first received the cards I thought they may be a little too advanced for her age (18 months old at the time), but I was dead wrong! After about a month and a half of using the flashcards, she mastered them! We usually 'play' with the flashcards for only about 10 minutes before her bedtime. This is a great tool in the early developmental stages for any toddler. I’m excited to get her the next card set.” —M. Abdallah
Get it from Amazon for $9.47.
6. A flexible faucet extender so you don't have to lift your little munchkin every time they need to wash their hands. 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.
7. 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 less discomfort. This will surely come in handy this allergy season!
My former colleague Chandni Reddy is a big fan of this device:
"I'm probably the only one who is unreasonably excited about this bear tool. But it's one of those things I didn't know I needed until I bought it and realized how handy it is. I haven't used it to clean ears, but use it daily to fish out crusty/gooey boogers from both my kids' noses. The scoop end removes dried boogers and the loop end lassos sticky snot. (TMI, sorry)"
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.
8. 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, making them less of a hazard for your snacking tot. It's also safe enough for your tot to use (with your supervision, of course).
Promising review: "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 $11.95+ (available in two colors).
9. A truly nonslip silicone bowl with a built-in placemat because, let's face it, your little one is the sloppiest eater you've ever met. This is designed to promote self-feeding while also catching any mess in the process.
Ezpz is a woman-owned small business that creates developmentally focused, minimalist tableware for little ones.
Promising review: "What do you do when you're big on letting your toddler self-feed, but are also a clean freak? Not gonna lie, watching my toddler 'explore food' aka throw his meal, bit by bit, on the floor like it's his full-time job has been an emotional rollercoaster: from 'Omg, he ate his meal like a boss' to 'Sob, it's going to take an hour to clean up that mess.' This mat/bowl combo was the perfect solution. It suctions nicely to our dining table and does a great job of staying put, saving me from hours of cleaning up my toddler's food-related mess. Wish I had this with my first baby!" —Chandni Reddy
Get it from Ezpz on Amazon for $21.34+ (available in four colors).
10. A cute cacti brush set so you can easily and effectively clean baby's bottles, sippy cups, and more. They come in a cute little "flower pot" with drainage holes for easy cleaning.
This set includes: a bottle brush, a straw brush, a nipple brush, and a detail brush.
Promising review: "This product is sooooo adorable! It’s the best bottle brush I’ve found so far and after bottle-feeding two kids, I’ve been through my fair share. I love the fact that it’s not ugly. I like the material the bristles are made out of. I love how the smaller brushes aren’t built into the handle and it’s all conveniently stored in the same spot." —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two other styles).
11. And a grass lawn bottle drying rack that'll easily collect and drain excess water (since it doesn't actually need water to grow), leaving behind perfectly dry bottles.
Promising review: "I thought I might regret getting this until I used it for the first time. It's perfect for all the little bottles and attachments that come with them! You could get by with your regular dish drying rack, but if you're like me and hate things falling over in there, get this. Everything stays upright, which means it dries faster." —Holly
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
12. Or a space-saving Oxo upright drying rack with nine hooks and a compartment for lids and other small things to dry on. It's also got a removable drain tray.
Promising review: "This easily holds bottles, nursing pump parts, pacifiers, and sippy cups to dry before putting them away. Would recommend for anyone wanting a space-saving drying rack option!" —Jenna Slaght
Get it from Amazon for $25.18.
13. 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 that makes 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 ChooMe on Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five color combinations).
14. A pacifier-style baby medicine dispenser since the baby doesn't wanna be sick this allergy season and medicine spills everywhere whenever you use a spoon. 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.
15. A starter set of durable Chicco baby bottles designed with glass on the inside so you don't have to worry about weird smells and aftertastes or discoloration. They've even nipples with a skin-like texture that'll help baby latch better. They're dishwasher-safe, can be used in a bottle warmer or sterilizer, and are free of BPA, BPS, PVC, and phthalates.
BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga loves hers:
"Before my son Noah was born we were hoping he’d like the Chicco Duo bottles (since, at the end of the day we knew we’d end up using whatever brand he preferred). These were our first choice because they have such unique features that other bottles don’t — so we were absolutely thrilled when he took to them right away!
On the inside of each bottle is a super thin layer of unbreakable glass that prevents babies from drinking directly from plastic. I know what you’re thinking…glass = heavy…but you’d never even know there was glass in these bottles! They’re so lightweight my baby has no problem already trying to hold them up on his own. Their other great feature is the nipples they come with. They have a slow-release design to help prevent your little one from chugging their bottle and developing gas bubbles in their bellies. Additionally, they’re shaped for intuitive latching which I can only assume would be helpful for parents who are both bottle-feeding and breastfeeding their babies.
We’ve purchased three sets so we always have a bottle at the ready, but you can easily clean these by hand or in the dishwasher and use them in a sterilizer or bottle warmer without concern. Big win for babies and parents!"
Get the 8-piece set from Amazon for $42.23 (also available in a 10-piece set and in pink).
16. A pack of 10 bath crayons that'll truly brighten up bath time. These crayons can be easily washed off your tub with a damp cloth or sponge. Your little one will love this extra opportunity to be creative (and while they're busy drawing, you can detangle their hair)!
Promising review: "My 18-month-old LOVES these. As a future OT, I love that it’s promoting grasp patterns and scribbling!!! We are going on week 3–4 of using these every single night for bath time and she’s still not bored. Easy to clean up and seem to hold up well! I would recommend for creative play, fine motor, writing development...all the good things for baby’s brain!!" —Carly Jackson
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $10.40.
17. A rechargeable nasal aspirator with different suction levels 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 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 the 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 $39.98.
18. A set of two customizable breast pumps whose double-sealed flanges are made from suction-sealed materials so you don't have to deal with spills. And because these pumps are small, hands-free, and discreet, you can pump from anywhere; no need to hover by an outlet or get tangled in wires.
Promising review: "I purchased this pump as my travel pump. I was a bit skeptical about it at first, but I read the reviews and thought it would be fine. I now find myself using it more than my wall pump. I can cook and clean while pumping and it's perfect for car rides when you can't get your little one out of the car seat. The battery lasts a while before having to recharge and the suction is actually pretty strong." —Danielle Jimenez
Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (available in three colors).
19. An adjustable back seat mirror so you can keep a watchful eye on your kiddo. This lightweight and shatter-proof mirror will definitely come in handy as you go from point A to point B.
Disclaimer: only look in the mirror when your car isn't in motion!
Promising review: "These are high quality. We were given one as a gift originally and ended up ordering three more, one for each car for both of our kids. We've also ordered these as gifts for other moms. They're sturdy and large enough to get a full view of a rear-faced baby/toddler. They're on a swivel, which makes changing direction easy to do. Once the toddler is curious enough to touch, though, it can be problematic as we found ourselves needing to reset it after she played with it." —Rachel Lakose
Get it from Amazon for $36.94.
20. A Baby Brezza formula dispenser that mixes, heats, and pours formula in a matter of seconds! You can customize the amount dispensed as well as the heat level. Set your baby's bottle under the dispenser and let it do its magic.
BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga simply stans this formula dispenser:
"The number one item I simply could not live without is the Baby Brezza Formula Pro Advanced. Literally, I would happily spend my last penny on this product because it has made that much of a difference in my life.
It’s essentially a Keurig for baby bottles. It has the capability of mixing formula with the proper amount of water and dispensing it at the *perfect* temperature for baby. It has a button on it so I can easily choose how many ounces I want for my son’s bottle, depending on how recently he’s eaten sometimes we needed only need 2 ounces instead of 4 ounces, etc. The bottle settings stayed in place so when my baby was screaming (he used to get very hangry!) I just had to place a bottle under the dispenser and hit the 'start' button. It was so easy I was literally able to do it with one hand while holding him.
The spout has to be cleaned every four bottles, which I used to do with hot water and a paper towel, and the water needed to be refilled once a day (like a Keurig). Other than that, all I had to do was ensure the formula container was filled. My husband set it up like a baby bar cart in the nursery so we didn't have to stumble down our stairs to the kitchen while bleary-eyed and half asleep in the middle of the night. It really is a godsend and I don’t know what I would have done without it!"
Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in two colors) and Baby Brezza for $184 (available in two colors).
21. A pack of sleek outlet covers because your ever-curious toddler has tried to experiment with sticking toys and other things into your outlets to test their hypothesis that something ~electric~ will happen. Just pop these bad boys into your outlets!
Promising review: "I had some outlet protectors already, but my 10-month-old daughter figured those out. These are nice because they are discreet. They sit flush with the outlet. They aren't distracting, so my daughter doesn't find interest in them. And they are too thin for her to pry them off. I actually kinda had trouble getting them out of one of my outlets, but I find that a good thing; they are definitely childproof. Can't beat the low price either. And they arrived very quickly." —Bazoo Studios
Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $7.03+ (available in two styles).
22. An inexpensive baby gate with an easy-to-use latch (don't worry, it's only easy for adults). Reviewers noted how simple this is to install! You'll get four pressure-mount spindle rods to ensure this gate is sturdily attached to the walls.
Make sure to measure your opening before you buy to ensure proper fit.
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. IF we need to purchase more gates in the future I will come straight back to this product and seller." —L. Randall
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes).
23. 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 $22.99+ (available in 11 prints).
24. A customizable magnetic chore chart that'll incentivize your kid to get tasks and chores done. I mean, who wouldn't want to earn stars throughout the week?
Learn & Climb store is a small business.
The chart comes with 63 chore magnets (including potty training, brushing teeth, etc.), a dry-erase marker along, and blank activity magnets.
Recommended for ages 3+.
Promising review: "A must-have for toddlers. This is a game changer. I’ve been looking for simple ways to encourage some behaviors and discourage others, and this is a good, simple, visual way to get a toddler or young child to improve. I love that it comes with different color stars for different kids in the household and that there are coordinated dry-erase stickers to identify the child and how many stars to get 'X' reward. My 3-year-old gets excited when he gets to have a star. I’m excited that we are getting to have a more well-behaved little human." —Danielle
Get it from Learn & Climb on Amazon for $22.99.
25. A universal cup holder you can attach to your stroller to make sure you stay as hydrated as your baby. This multi-purpose holder can also carry your wallet, keys, phone, and more. Keep the important things in sight and reach while you're out and about.
Ryan & Rose is a family-owned small business that creates stylish accessories parents will love.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with these holders! I have a huge stroller that a conventional cupholder won't work on, the Ryan And Rose Cutie Holder is perfect! I am actually ordering a second one that I can use to hold my cellphone! The uses are endless! Stock up when you can!" —ShopTillYouDrop
Get it from Ryan & Rose on Amazon for $18.99 (available in 12 colors).
26. A long-lasting and waterproof splat mat so your little one doesn't turn the floor around their highchair into a landfill. You can hand- or machine-wash this mat whenever it's seen a little too much mess. Mealtimes just got a little cleaner!
BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga is a big fan of this Splat Mat:
"If you have a baby or a toddler then PLEASE do not hesitate to get yourself a Bumkins Splat Mat — honestly, buy two! I have a toddler who seemingly loves to torture my husband and me at every mealtime by staring us directly in the eyes, giggling, then tossing pieces of his meal over his shoulder onto the floor. It's a delightful routine, especially when the food item of choice has peanut butter or sauce on it. We have a wood floor that, thankfully, isn't too difficult to clean. But who wants to mop or vacuum several times a day? Certainly not me — and what parent has the time?!
The solution: this Splat Mat. I've tried other brands but none have held a candle to Bumkins. It's easy to fold it up and shake crumbs directly into the trash or wipe it down for a quick clean post-meal. However, my favorite thing about it is that when it gets really gross it can be popped directly into the washing machine! I dry it on the cold setting and low tumble and it comes out looking exactly the way it was when I first bought it. I also love that it comes in a ton of fun patterns (I have the Mickey Mouse one seen above and a Nintendo-themed one). You can also snag matching bibs (so cute) that can also be tossed into your washing machine!"
Get it from Amazon for $17.90+ (available in 13 patterns).
27. A pair of babyproofing toilet seat locks because your kid has a habit of tossing their toy animals into the "sea" to "swim." These easy-to-install locks are even easier to unlock when it's time to actually potty. Just press the button, rotate the arm, and you're in business.
Promising review: "My 1-year-old has discovered the toilets and cannot keep her hands away from them no matter how much we try. Saw these on Amazon and figured what do I have to lose, it’s fairly cheap. To my surprise, they work phenomenally and they are so easy to use. My 7-year-old son was able to navigate it easily on his own. It gets the job done 10 out of 10." —Rosemarie smith
Get the pack of two from Amazon for $14.99.
28. Baby cup catchers if your kiddo is an Olympic bottle thrower. This will ensure the bottle doesn't reach the floor or the other side of the room.
Promising review: "I love this bottle holder! Toddlers throw everything and with this product attached to the bottle and strapped to a high chair for example, you don’t have to get up to pick up the bottle. Not the best articulation but you get the idea right? #mombrain" —Randi
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $18.99 (available individually and in eight color combinations).
29. A pair of darling rattle socks and wristbands that'll help entertain your baby. They'll love playing with the new buggy friends they now have within reach!
30. A Shark Tank-famous car seat buckle release tool with a soft grip to help your toddler get themselves out of their seat faster and easier. It's also helpful for older adults or those with arthritis. It can also be used on strollers, high chairs, and more!
UnbuckleMe is a small biz making it easier for tots to get out of car seats, strollers and more. They were even featured on Shark Tank!
Note: Make sure your little one doesn't have access to this while the car is in motion! Also, lots of reviewers with manicures note that this has saved their nails!
Promising review: “I recently had to move my 4-year-old's car seat into the third row of our car. There was no way I was going to climb back there to un-buckle them every time. We got this thing and only had to show them once before they got the hang of it! Seriously a lifesaver. Very easy to use and gives my little one a chance to be independent, too!" —Bri S
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in seven colors).
31. A folding toddler learning tower because they wanna help with dinner but can't quite reach the countertop yet. Now, you can engage with your child's curiosity about cooking! This easy-to-clean tower also features nonslip feet to keep them safe.
Promising review: "Our family loves this toddler tower. It’s easy to clean, folds up nicely, and allows our toddler to help and feel involved in all of our activities. It’s also very sturdy as she tries to rock in it, etc. and it doesn’t go anywhere. Love it!" —Alison Verni
Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two colors).
32. A pair of leakproof Bluey tumblers if your child is simply obsessed with watching this precious pup go on adventures. It even has a silicone straw with a built-in valve so liquid only comes out when your little one drinks.
Promising review: "My 2.5-year-old loves these cups. They are easy to clean and have a cute design. She has a tendency to throw her cups off her high chair and they’ve never cracked or broken. The only time they spill a little is if she holds it upside-down and shakes it. Even then, it’s minimal." —ELL
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in 11 other designs).
33. Bob Books, Set 1: Beginning Readers, a set of 12 phonics-based picture books designed to help your growing child learn to read. As they progress through the books, they'll be introduced to new letter sounds, opening the world of reading to them.
The set comes with 12 books.
Promising review: "My 4-year-old daughter has known letters and sounds since just past her second birthday and could 'read' a few sight words, but she had a hard time mastering the process of sounding out a word. For the last two years, she would read the word 'stop' as 'sss- tuh- ah- puh,' but didn't understand how to really blend the phonemes. But somehow, as soon as we got them for her, Bob Books finally unlocked the part of her brain that could really solve the puzzle of phonics! I'm thrilled by the amount of progress we've seen in just TWO DAYS — going from 'getting' phonics, but not really reading, to completely consolidating and understanding the two concepts. She's also very suddenly taken up a lot of initiative in independent writing and spelling. I couldn't recommend these books more highly. They are a miracle!!" —Juniper
Get a set from Amazon for $12.64+ (available in paperback and hardcover).
34. A pack of 24 potty seat covers so 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.
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 it 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 (available in two sizes).
35. A pack of multipurpose, self-adhesive safety straps for keeping your walking tot out of the fridge, closets, cabinets, and more. This strap adjusts from 3–7 inches, making it perfect for most appliances.
Jool Baby is a kid-focused family-run small business whose products feature the latest in technology and durability.
Promising review: "These things are awesome! Super easy to install. I didn't think they'd actually work because my toddler is a beast, but we have them on our fridge and a few cupboards and they keep her out :) She pulls pretty hard and they don't budge. They're pretty easy to unlatch; my 7-year-old doesn't have a problem with it. Great purchase!" —Angel Starr
Get a pack of four Jool Baby on Amazon for $9.97 (available in larger pack sizes).
36. A portable sound machine if your baby often needs 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.
37. A gentle and battery-operated portable elephant sprayer to entertain your little one as you rinse them of soap suds. Just be splash-ready, as this toy can be used against you if your kid is a little older.
